Sweet Sunday and I just had to share this card with the Tender Hearted Stamp Set. Well it is just sweet …
I remember my little kiddies doing this when they were young. Pretending to be Dr’s attending to their toys. It brings back such precious memories. I just had to share it.
This card was created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.
I love how they have used the strips of Designer Series Paper on the card too. This is a great way of using your little scrap pieces. Perhaps you can use that idea on a card you make soon.
The Tender Hearted Stamp Set has some cute images in the whole set. It’s not just for the young kids. What a lovely one to use on cards for friends.
It is now available in my store (Australian residents). You can order this now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: R4QU9DB3
I love Fun Folds. I have a cool Fun Fold card for you today AND a video to help you create it.
It’s a Front Panel Gatefold Card.
You have the Front of the card. Just like any regular looking card really. I have used the Stippled Roses Stamp Set for this one.
But lift the front and you have a Gatefold. It gives a little extra WOW! to the card. For this one I have used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper on the side panels.
Then open the 2 flaps and you have the inside. With a little stamping and a strip of the paper it adds to the specialness.
What do you think?
You can follow along with the Video to make your own.
The measurements are included in the video. Stop or pause or rewind. If you prefer the written version I’m sending that out in my newsletter next week.

Hope you get to make one.

Last week I had my Summer Craftastic event. Lots of fun and crafting and chatting.
I will share the projects we made in another post but today I thought I would show you the cute Mini Tag I made for all the guests to go on their gifts they received for coming.
These were so quick and simple to make – especially when I was on a time crunch!
I used the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. I love how the flowers and leaves are separate so you can stamp the flowers in different colours without trying to colour the stamps.
The white tag was cut with one of the smaller sized Perennial Postage Dies. I punched a hole in the top of them and tied through some of the Natural Wavy Trim and tied off with Linen Thread.
Don’t miss the sweet little birds. They are from the Dragonflies and Birds Embellishments available only online. Often they get missed being an Online Exclusive. They add an elegant touch to your projects.
The Softly Sophisticated stamp set is a Sale-A-Bration choice as a Bundle with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. They are a great addition to your crafting supplies. I think they are so versatile – and lovely.
The Bundle can be chosen with orders over $180 AUD.
But it’s only around for just over 1 week. How time does fly! So I don’t want you missing out if you would like them.
If you are in Australia and “need” these or any other supplies I would love to serve you.

Melt and Move. Not the chocolate variety. Although that would be nice right now …
Think M&M when you are Heat Embossing. That is Melt and Move.
Once your Embossing Powder turns shiny when heating you know that it has melted. Don’t stay heating there or it will burn. Keep on moving along to the next section.
So next time you are Heat Embossing think M&M.
Now I think I need some M&M’s. Some Crunchy Peanut ones. 🙂
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

The Colour Inkspirations have their 150th Colour Challenge this week. I had to have a go. I first started these challenges way back near the beginning so wanted to join in with this milestone.
The Colour Challenge#150 this week was Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock.
I have to say these colours were hard to use all together.
Here is the card I created. I have used the Inked and Tiled Stamp Set.
The paper is the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper stack. I have used 2 different patterns creating a block pattern.
The flowers were inked with Brushes and Daubers to add the different colours. The White Baker’s Twine was coloured with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.
It is nothing fancy but I liked the effect.
Hope you get to have a go at it. You can create your own and post it to the Facebook Group -> HERE.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

You have probably seen the Fitting Florets Suite around now. It is all so gorgeous. I had to play with it. And I pulled out an old fold that I haven’t done in a while – A Panel Fold Card.
Here it is for you.
And it folds flat for you to post.
You can catch how to create one on the video below. (If you are receiving this blog update by email and the video is not showing, head to the blog post and view it there).
The Fitting Florets Suite will be available to order in November. The Framed Florets Bundle (Stamps and Dies) will be carried over in to the January-June Mini Catalogue but the gorgeous Fitting Florets paper and the Gold Swirl Gems won’t be so you will want to grab that early. I will tell you more about this soon.
But … You could get this earlier. As Demonstrators we can order it now. And if you have considered joining Stampin’ Up! what better way than joining now (also with the extra bonus you get this month) AND you can order it now. Because we can’t wait for these things right. 🙂
