2020 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue – Page 2

This week I am showcasing the Beautiful Moments stamp set. Such a beautiful one with line art images ready for colouring. I am not great at colouring but I am working on it.

Today’s card uses the sweet little girls.

The images were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and cut with my new favourite dies the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The paper is from the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper pack and seemed to fit the image so well. Before adding the stamped piece on to the card and looped some Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. It was stamped on a strip of Mint Macaron card and then I cut the end on an angle adding some Sparkle Glimmer Paper behind it.

Watch out for more cards with this stamp set this week.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

TROPICAL WOODIES CARDS!

February 21, 2020February 21, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Have you noticed this cool paper in the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper pack? Covered in those Woodies trucks among the tropical palms. It just makes you feel laid back and relaxed doesn’t it. You really don’t want to cover this paper with too much. Let it be the star!

I made 2 cards with it. One a standard size and the other larger to really make a statement with it.

For the larger I cut the card to 14.8cm x 29.7cm (so the full length of an A4 sheet and cut down at 14.8cm) Score at 14.8cm. For Imperial – use the full length of the card, so 11″ and cut on the short side at 5 1/2″. Score at 5 1/2″.

Each layer is 4mm (1/4″) smaller.

I used the Timeless Tropical stamp set for both cards. For the pineapple on the smaller card I used the markers to add the different colouring. On the tree on the larger card I stamped the tree twice once in Early Espresso and the other in Old Olive on white card. Cut off the leaves on the Old Olive one at adhered that over the Early Espresso one. You could use markers for that though.

On the standard size card I use the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I really don’t know why I put them away each time I use them. I have used them on so many cards lately. This was finished with the Braided Burlap Trim.

For the larger card I punched the sentiment out with the Tailored Tag Punch.

A Design Tip for you – I added a Vellum circle under the sentiment and the palm tree. That helps “ground” these items. When you have embellishments or pieces on your card they can feel lost or floating if you don’t “ground” them with something to bring them together.

Hope you like them. Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #96 – USING THE BRAIDED BORDER PUNCH!

February 19, 2020February 18, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #96 today I want to show you the new punch in the catalogue. The Braided Border Punch. I think it is pretty but I think there are a few tricks to using it too. So let’s check it out.

You can find it on page 29 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue.

As with most of the border punches, to punch your card. Slide in your card, rest the card against the small ridge on the punch and press down. Then to re-punch, slide the card along and you can match up the pattern on the base of the punch. Then you can punch again. Repeat this along the card for the length you want.

You can buy the punch on it’s own but it co-ordinates nicely with the Beautifully Braided stamp set. And getting the bundle saves 10%!

In the stamp set is a lovely “lattice” style stamp that can stamp over the punched Braided border. There is also a flourish stamp strip too.

But how you can line this up easily on the punched piece? I have some tips for you today.

Using the Stamparatus will greatly help you.

Firstly punch your piece of card to the length needed.

Place your strip of card in the Stamparatus. Place it in the corner to rest the card against the edge so it is lined up.

Position the stamp upside down on to the punched piece so you can line it up properly with the punched area. Using the side plate close up the Stamparatus plate to pick up the stamp.

Ink up the stamp, Fold over the plate to stamp on the punched card. If you need to stamp further along then, slide the plate down the hinges, ink up the stamp and stamp down again.

***

Hope these tips are helpful to get the best out of this gorgeous punch. Below are some samples from Stampin’ Up! to show these lovely stamps and punch.

This is pretty with the rows of punched braids. This one has the flourishes stamped. I think it would help to line this up on the Stamparatus as well.

This one below has ribbon threaded through the braids. That’s a clever idea!

You will find the Beautifully Braided Bundle in my store now -> HERE. $61 AUD. Why not grab some card or some other items to reach the $90 so you can choose one of the free Sale-A-Bration products.

If ordering online you can use the Host Code – FURRYWCK Thank You.

Be sure not to mark your order anonymous or I won’t be able to send out your gift and Thank You card. And you will also receive the 12 project Tutorial Bundle (does not include projects with the Beautifully Braided Bundle).

Happy creating,

MORE TEAM SHOEBOX SWAPS CARDS!

February 10, 2020February 10, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I mentioned in a previous post about our Team Shoebox Swap. I thought I would share the other cards today with you. It was just a small group this time so just a few cards.

Of course I changed them up a little from the original – because I could. 🙂

This one from Silvia is a card clip. It is using the Parisian Beauty Bundle. The Rococo Rose card was cut with the Stitched Rectangles Die and then the “script” stamp was stamped several times over it. The Eiffel Tower was diecut from Gold Foil. It’s hard to tell but there is some Wink of Stella over the Rococo Rose card and some clear heart embellishments. The large noteclip had some Designer Series Paper wrapped around the clip.

This next one from Lynne was using the Painted Poppies bundle. The Blackberry Bliss card was embossed with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. I angled the embossed card and the piece of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper just to be different. The stamped poppy was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and cut with the die. Using the Aquapainter spread over the ink a little to colour the poppy.

This next one from Vanessa is using the Honey Bee Bundle. I am still not sure of this bundle but I liked making this card. The one cool thing with this bundle is the bees in the Detailed Bee Dies cuts some of the bees in the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration. So clever that Stampin’ Up! does this.

The honeycomb die was cut from the Bermuda Bay to use the small hexagons on the piece of Designer Series paper. Also a fit with the dies! I didn’t want to waste the honeycomb so I added that to my card.

The bees were coloured with the dauber and inkpads. As the bees were embossed they resist the ink so you have coloured centres. The large black bee at the top is stamped in black and diecut with the die.

I will post my card that I shared for the swap in another post coming up soon as I will give you some more details on it. Stay tuned for that.

TIP: Purchase any of these bundles. They are approximately $75, add some card and ink to reach your $90 so you can add one of the Sale-A-Bration choices. Great with the Honey Bee Bundle as you could choose the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper. Check them all out in store -> HERE.

Have a great day,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – TROPICAL OASIS SUITE!

February 9, 2020February 8, 2020 Jenny Hayward

It’s time for another Sunday Suites. I have been sharing a few projects recently with the Tropical Oasis Suite of products but let’s look more closely at them in more detail.

Here we have the full Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle of products.

The Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle includes
* Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* In the Tropics Dies (10% off)
* Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper
* Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder
* Tropical Oasis Trinkets
* Saddle Brown Stazon Ink Pad and Refill
* Timeless Tropical Memories & More Card Pack
* 5/16″ (8 mm) Braided Burlap Trim

I have a few favourites in this suite of products from the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to the cute Tropical Oasis Trinkets. The Timeless Tropical Memories and More card pack is so versatile as it makes some really cool cards with them not just for your Memory keeping.

This is the paper below. If you want to check it out closer head to the Youtube video -> HERE.

Below are the sweet Tropical Oasis Trinkets. I think they are adorable. You receive 24 trinkets: 6 each of 4 designs
The Largest trinket is 3/4″ x 1/2” (1.9 x 1.3 cm). Not bad for $13 AUD. I find the best way to adhere these to your projects is with a Glue Dot.

The Tropical Oasis Memories and More cards. You know some of these would be great to frame. Well I think so as I have a “coastal” sort of style in my house.

I love the texture that the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder gives on your projects.

A great addition in this suite of products is the Saddle Brown Stazon. It’s great for your watercolouring projects and I think it is a little softer than the Black Stazon. It gives a more subtle outline. You can use the regular Stazon Cleaner to clean your stamps after using the Saddle Brown Stazon. The refill is available too.

Not only is it good for watercolouring it’s a nice Brown shade for your earthy, neutral projects.

Some more projects with this suite, just because. 🙂

The Tropical Oasis Suite has certainly been popular with my customers. What are your thoughts of it??

You can see the Suite in my store -> HERE and order there as well. Or contact me directly.

After you place your order I will send you out the Tutorial Bundle of 12 projects (not all are with this suite).

Have a great Sunday,

Jenny

WATERCOLOURED PAINTED POPPIES!

February 8, 2020February 8, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I want to share this card with you today. I made it at our team Shoebox Swap last week. I will show you the other cards we made later but thought I would show you this one today as I recreated it and filmed a video to show you how it was made. Hope you like it.

It’s using the Painted Poppies set and is a fun card – although a little messy. This card was shared to me by Deborah in our Inky Fingers Team.

Just a quick overview of how to make the card but be sure to watch the video (and you can subscribe to my channel on Youtube to catch new updates. It’s early days but I am working on it!) 🙂

Use your clear block and press the ink pad on to the block to get some ink. Use the Aquapainter to spread the ink around and make it a little watery.
Press the Painted Poppies “splodge” stamp on to the clear block to pick up some ink. Press it on to your card. I used Very Vanilla. You could use Thick Whisper White, Shimmery White or Watercolor card. Repeat this 3 more times over the card in a “circular” pattern. Use the Aquapainter to spread the ink and also add some more ink from the block if you need to.
Allow to dry then stamp the flower outlines over the “splodges”. Stamp the leaves in black over the card.
Use the large “splatter” stamp and ink it up in Mossy Meadow ink. Stamp off first on scrap paper then stamp over the larger leaves. Use the smaller “splatter” to stamp over the smaller leaves. Clean the stamp, ink up the stamp in Gray Granite then stamp off first on to scrap paper. Stamp on the small leaves.
Diecut flower centres add them to the card and stamp the sentiment. Adhere the card to the card base.

Hope you have some messy fun with this card.

Have a great day,

Jenny

BLUE POPPY PATCH WITH THE PAINTED POPPIES!

February 3, 2020February 2, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Last week I shared a card with the Painted Poppies stamp set in a blue colour. I made another card at the same time too so thought I would show you that one.

I used the Stone 3D Embossing Folder on the Balmy Blue card as I did on the other one. The Poppies was stamped in Memento Black and then coloured with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. Gotta love the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I used those to cut the white scalloped rectangle.

The sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings was heat embossed in white on black card and punched with the Classic Label Punch.

The Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon is so lovely. It is soft and so easy to tie in to a bow. Don’t forget you can colour this ribbon with your Stampin’ Blends if you want to match your project.

I’m thinking other colours for these poppies. Let’s see how we go with that one.

Have a great week,

Jenny

DAFFODIL TIMELESS TROPICAL!

January 31, 2020January 31, 2020 Jenny Hayward

This weekend I am having my Tropical Fiesta Catalogue Launch. I am sure it will be fun and with this weather it will certainly be feeling tropical. I thought I would start sharing some of my cards using this suite.

To start off with I CASED the Catalogue. You can find this card on p38 of the Mini Catalogue. Isn’t it sunny and fresh?? I have to say I am loving the cute little Tropical Oasis Trinkets.

The card is just a little stamping with the Timeless Tropical stamp set and then diecutting. Easy with the co-ordinating In The Tropics Dies. I find it easiest to adhere the little Trinkets on with Glue Dots.

If you notice the Palm Trees the leaves are stamped in Old Olive and the trunks Early Espresso. On the card in the catalogue I think they have been coloured with the markers. I didn’t do mine that way though. I put together a video last week showing how I created the trees which I shared on my Facebook page when we went looking through the catalogue. (BTW: Do you follow me on Facebook?? Just click on the social media links in the right column on my blog).

What I did was stamped them twice, once in Old Olive and once in Early Espresso. I diecut them then trimmed off the leaves on the Old Olive one. It is just simple snipping.

When I created the card on the video I didn’t fully complete it. It was just to give you the idea of stamping the trees mainly. Afterwards I put the card together but this time I did it a little different. You can see that one below.

Which one do you like better??

This is the Timeless Tropical Bundle. Available in my store now -> HERE. $90.75 AUD – which means you can pick up a Sale-A-Bration choice FREE. 🙂

Of course, don’t miss the beautiful Tropical Oasis paper. (This one is available in my Paper share too. Just head back a post or 2).

The Timeless Tropical is a great suite and I will be sharing more with it so stay tuned.

Have a great weekend. I’m off to practise my hula dancing.
