A Stamping Journey – A Stamping Journey

Sweet Sunday. It’s a cute blue elf wishing you a Merry Christmas.

This is with the Festive Friends Bundle. The elf was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and I diecut the trees and the snowflake from the die set. The Misty Moonlight card mat was embossed with the Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder.

I have been wanting to do more with stencilling too so I pulled out the retired Linked Together Masks to give them a go. Not quite the effect I was going for but I think it works ok perhaps. I was wanting a little more contrast between the light blue and the darker blue highlights.

I added a strip of the Peaceful Garden Paper which I had torn the top edge of and layed it on the White card before diecutting with one of the rectangles from the Textured Notes Dies. Then I adhered the strip down and added it to the card with Dimensionals.

The Festive Friends set is a cute one with this elf and santa and the snowman. I think I haved used it quite a lot this Christmas for those cute cards.

Hope your Christmas cards are coming together well.

Happy Crafting,

‘TIS THE SEASON WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! ORNAMENTAL CHRISTMAS BUNDLE ~

November 27, 2025November 27, 2025 Jenny Hayward

One with the Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle today.

'Tis the Season with the Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle

Do you add texture on your cards? There are different types of texture here. The embossed background, gold detailed star diecut and some soft satin ribbon. And of course add the bling. Adding the texture adds extra dimension and interest on a card so it is not so flat looking.

If one of your cards is not quite looking right or looking a little flat maybe see how you can add some texture as some type of element. It will make a big difference.

This is the Ornamental Christmas Bundle I have used.

You can see it more -> HERE.

Happy Christmas Creating,

FLIP IT FUN FOLD CARD + VIDEO

November 8, 2025November 8, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Today’s video is a Flip It card. I don’t know what it’s actual name is but that’s what I call it. I’m going to show you how.

This is the card.

The front panel stands up when you Flip It.

Then when it lays flat.

It is a little larger than a standard card so you may need to make an envelope to fit or give it directly to your special person. You may want to explain how it flips too so they can see the fun of it (and give you a WOW!)

I used the cute Festive Friends Stamps and Dies. You can create this for any occasion whether it is Christmas or Birthday or some other special event.

Here is the video to create your own Or head straight to my Youtube.

Hope you get to make one. As always I will send the writtent tutorial to my Newsletter Subscribers next week. I send out a Tutorial each week. If you would like to receive my Tutorials then you can subscribe to them. The Tab is on the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

Happy Crafting,

SUNFLOWERS EMBOSSING FOLDER WITH THE NESTS OF WINTER PAPER!

August 11, 2025August 11, 2025 Jenny Hayward

More with the Sunflowers Embossing Folder.

This time embossing on some patterned paper. You can try any but I have used the Nests of Winter Paper with a wood-grain look.

It gives a rustic look with this paper. I was wondering now if I should have distressed the edges of the paper to give it a more rustic look??

The Sunflowers were coloured with the Ink Pads and Daubers and the sentiment from the Bright Borders Stamp Set. Which I see is on the Last Chance lists … I diecut this with one of the Mixed Labels Dies. Another one on the list … Be quick if you want to grab these ones.

Have you got the Sunflowers Embossing Folder yet?? It is so versatile and I have to say really fun to work with.

MOSSY MEADOW FLORAL CHARM CARD ~

July 24, 2025July 24, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I have been playing more with the Floral Charm Suite which includes the Charming Day Bundle and the gorgeous Floral Charm Paper.

This is one of the recent cards. The dark colours are hard to photograph so hope it’s not too dark for you to see.

It did take some time to colour the flowers to be honest. I wasn’t sure about getting the colours right but I’m putting it out there for you anyway. I used the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and touch of the Light Pecan Pie I think.

It’s simply a piece of the Floral Charm paper on a Mossy Meadow Card Base. The strip of Floral Charm Paper helps to highlight the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies.

Here is the Charming Day Bundle. See it more -> HERE.

And that gorgeous Floral Charm Paper. See it more -> HERE.

Don’t forget there is Free Shipping until Friday so this might be good timing if you like to get these – or any other products.

A WATERCOLOUR WASH WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE STAMP SET ~

July 2, 2025July 2, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Another one with the Stampin’ Up! Rustive Centerpiece Stamp Set. I have been playing with this over the last few days. Lots of creative fun with it.

This time I created a Watercolour Wash over some Watercolour Card.

To create it I washed over some Watercolour Card with the Soft Sea Foam. I added a few drops of the Reinker in to the lid of the Ink Pad and added some water to it and swirled it around to mix it. With the Water Painter I washed over the card. Then I left it to dry before stamping on it.

When I came back to it the piece nearly went in to the bin. When it was drying I didn’t like the colours that were coming out. I picked it up to throw it and thought maybe I will just try stamping on it and see how it turns out. (To see if it works ok 😄). It was my little experiment. I actually thought it turned out passable in the end.

The succulents are stamped in Garden Green. I think the Black sentiment helps it all to POP. That was heat embossed in White on the Black card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set. The paper is from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

So the card lived to fight another day. Just a word of encouragement. If you don’t like how something is turning out, persevere with it. Put it aside, walk away, come back and work on it. You never know. It might just become a hero.

This is the Rustic Centerpiece Stamp Set if you missed it. It was released yesterday as an Online Exclusives.

You can find the stamp set -> HERE along with other Online Exclusives.
