A SIMPLE CARD WITH THE THANKFUL GARDEN STAMP SET!

Jenny Hayward

Recently we had the Thankful Garden Class. I showed different ways of using the Stamps, Dies and Masks. Everyone created 3 cards.

I like to start off with a very simple card. Then step them up and then usually a different technique or Fun Fold.

This was the Simple card. Just stamping the big flowers on the card and adding some pretty paper from the Unbounded Beauty Paper.

This is a great one when you don’t feel like colouring. But if the colouring urge grabs you it’s an easy one to colour. It has Masks in the Bundle which you can colour with ink and the Blending Brushes. Or you could colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or other colouring mediums.

I have to point out the sentiment rectangle piece. These are my new favourite. They are the Textured Notes Dies. I have talked about these previously but they are gorgeous. They have different edgings around the rectangles. You can use them on their own or layering them together.

If you are in Australia I would love to help you grab your latest crafting goodness. You can head to my Store -> HERE.

Don’t miss out on the Last Chance retiring items though too. Great discounts there.

AND, if you are a Wollongong Local and would love to get together with some new found friends and be creative I would love you to join my classes. We always look forward to people joining us. Drop me a Comment or an email and I can tell you about it.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES WITH BOKEH PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Beautiful Butterflies and pretty paper. It’s such a sweet combination. This card was one of the cards in the video of 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies. I realised I hadn’t shown you more of it

I have used some strips of the Beautiful Bokeh Paper on the card mat. Then stamped and coloured 3 small butterflies to match the paper strips. I added some Wink of Stella to the wings to make them sparkle but it is hard to see in the photo.

Although there is a little colouring with the butteflies it is a card you can reproduce a number of to give to lovely people to brighten their day.

If you missed the video to see the 5 Ways I posted this recently on my blog. You can head back to see it on my blog just a little way back OR it is now on Youtube.

If you need some supplies to create the card yourself or for any other project I would love to help you if you live in Australia.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! 167 – TEXTURED NOTES DIES SIZES

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #167 – What’s the sizes of the Textured Notes Dies??

People often ask the sized of the Textured Notes Dies. And that’s a good question. You want to know how they will fit on your card.

So here you go. I put together this little chart that shows the sizes. Save it for future reference.

These dies are part of the Textured Notes Bundle but I particularly like the Dies. They have different markings on the edges that create embossed look on the edge of your card. Use them to create a frame or to add an image directly on them. They are very versatile on their own or layer them together.

The Dies and stamps have just been released as an Online Exclusives this month.

You can see the Dies more in store -> HERE.

You can see the Bundle more in store -> HERE.

I am loving these dies. They are very versatile and I think they will be a great one for your collection.

Hope that is helpful for you.

Happy Crafting,

Stampin' Up!, Sunday Suites

SUNDAY SUITES – MIXED MEDIA FLORALS ~

Jenny Hayward

It’s Sunday Suites Time. Today with the Mixed Media Florals Suite.

There is a lot included in this suite so let’s check it out.

The Mixed Media Florals Suite consists of:

  • The Mixed Florals Bundle
  • The Mixed Labels Bundle
  • Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder
  • Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper
  • Low-Profile Dots (140 in total in 2 sizes) Petal Pink and Gold

Let’s look at these a bit closer.

The Mixed Florals Bundle

The Mixed Labels Bundle

I have to say the Dies on their own are even great. You can use them for a number of different sentiments if you don’t want to use these.

The Plaster Painting Embossing Folder

The Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper

The paper has a number of different Mixed Media techniques in the paper. According to Stampin’ Up! it includes gouache, watercolour, and digital art. It’s sounds all impressive and looks even more impressive. I had to look up gouache. This is a water-Based paing that is opaque and has a matte finish. It’s made from natural pigment, water, and a binding agent like gum arabic or dextrin. Gouache is similar to watercolor but is more opaque and less transparent. 

The colours are gorgeous together. You can colour the Black and White prints if you wish to.

The colours in this paper are Basic Black, Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, Shy Shamrock.

So let’s see what Stampin’ Up! has created with these great products.

Lots of diecutting for this one.

The paper background gives the impression of a sunny sky. It’s pretty.

Try a little White Heat Embossing and then colour the image with White ink. It gives a chalkboard effect perhaps.

This one let’s the deep texture with the Embossing Folder stand out.

And create a small gift box with some of the pretty paper.

This Suite of products is an Online Exclusives. You can buy the full Suite ($225.00 AUD) or buy each of the items individually.

You can see more of this Suite in the Store -> HERE. You can Order them directly there or Contact me to help you.

Happy Sunday,

STAMPIN’ UP! THANKFUL GARDEN WITH PAPER STRIPS

Jenny Hayward

Our class last week was using the Thankful Garden Bundle. There are lots of ways to use this gorgeous bundle.

This was one of the cards we made. We coloured the flower with the Stampin’ Blends as in the class it is hard to use the masks with a group to share them around. But it shows that you can use these in many different ways.

The paper strips are with the Mixed Media Floral Paper that is an Online Exclusives. They just make a different element to the card mat and highlights the colours used.

This is the Thankful Garden Bundle. You can see it more -> HERE.

This is the Mixed Media Florals Paper.

MINI BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have been sharing a lot with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. It is a gorgeous one. You might have caught the 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies Video I posted just recently. You can find this in a previous post on my blog or now on Youtube. But I will also have the link below if you missed it.

This is one of the cards I created. It is a Mini Beautiful Butterflies folded card in Fresh Freesia.

MAKE IT YOURSELF:

To create this place your die on the fold line of your card base with the little score marks on the die lining up on the fold. Diecut it out. You will have a fold card. If you want some pretty paper on the butterfly adhere your paper to the front of the card first. I used the Beautiful Bokeh paper for this one.

I added a detailed diecut body in white on the front of the card.

If you missed the tip on how to cut the black body then be sure to check on my page or on the video -> HERE.

If you have the Beautiful Butterflies I hope you get to make one similar. Have a play with it. It’s lots of fun.

This is the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. You can see it more in my store -> HERE.

TRY THE FAUX WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUE WITH THE VIDEO~

Jenny Hayward

I came across the Faux Watercolour Technique recently. I was intrigued and had to try it. I thought you might like it too so I put together a video. You can follow along and give it a try.

As you watch you might see it is a bit like the Smooshing Technique. But there are some differences.

Here is the video.

Here is the card I created.

The Thankful Garden Bundle includes Stamps, Dies and Masks and is an Online Exclusives.

If you have missed it you can see it online -> HERE.

I have also used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder which adds a nice, curvy texture. Also, using the Arched Dies for the sentiment adds a different element.

Hope you like it and get to try the technique yourself.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! HEART SHAPED STAMPS AND DIES IN LAVENDER!

Jenny Hayward

I have been loving the Heart Shaped Stamps and Dies.

They are so pretty. The elegant leafy heart die is different to your regular diecut heart. I think this type of heart can be used for many different occasions not just for the “love” type cards.

I teamed it with the Perennial Lavender Paper. I think we move on to the new and greatest new thing and forget the “older” products. The Lavender paper works so well with this leafy heart.

Here is the card.

If you notice too, I diecut the heart from the Perennial Lavender Paper too. It gives a nice, subtle colour variation. The stamped leafy heart add something extra to the diecut heart.

How pretty is this set??

It’s such a simple but elegant set. Sadly it is going this Friday. This is one of the Level 2 Sale-A-Bration choices. Meaning you can choose this one with orders over $200 AUD. I think it is a must have and it might even go to my “keep” pile after it is gone.

Be sure to get your order in by Friday to get this or any of the other Sale-A-Bration choices.

If you need to order you can Shop in my Store -> HERE OR contact me directly. I would love to help you.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
