FRAMED PRETTY FLORALS CARD – SAME BUT DIFFERENT!

May 30, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Pretty Florals Bundle. I have shared some different ones already. These 2 cards are very similar. There are just some variations.

They have the same paper, the Florals in Bloom Paper, and I have created the black frames to really highlight the flowers. You might be able to tell the differences though.

The one with the Fresh Freesia flowers is using the larger diecut flower and the outline edge. I sponged over a little Fresh Freesia ink to add some extra definition. This one is on a Fresh Freesia Card Base. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set and diecut with the Mixed Labels Dies. We made this one in our class last week using the Pretty Florals Bundle.

The other one is with the small pink flowers. The flowers are in Pretty In Pink and the little edges, (Not sure what you would call them) are in the Strawberry Slush. This one has a Pretty In Pink Card Base. The sentiment on this one is from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set I think.

So which one do you prefer?

This is a great bundle. I have had a lot of fun creating with it.

SPARKLE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES ~

May 28, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Back to more Butterfly cards. I have used the Beautiful Butterflies a lot!

This was one of the cards we made at class last week for my Card Buffet. It’s simple but with the diecut butterfly shape cut in paper it adds an extra element. The paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Paper. Then a little sparkle in Glimmer Paper was added. Got to love a sparkly, fluttery butterfly!

The wavy Embossed background gives a look of movement for the butterfly too. The Soft Waves Embossing Folder is a great versatile Folder. You don’t have to just use it for wavy seas.

The sentiment is from the Labeled With Love Stamp Set.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! FLOWERS OF BEAUTY IS LEAVING!

April 17, 2025April 17, 2025 Jenny Hayward

The Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty with the Stamps and Dies will be leaving. This was another card from our Retiring Class which didn’t end up happening last week. But I can show you.

For this card I CASED a card I made last year with the bundle and changed up the colours.

This one is in Lost Lagoon colour and I used the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper. The colours are soft and pretty in this pack.

I love the new Textured Notes Dies. Each Diecut rectangle has a different edge to it which adds just the extra element of interest.

To create the small frame I used the Something Fancy Dies. Which are also retiring. I used 2 frames together on the coloured card to cut the frame.

This is the Pretty in Pink version I made last year.

Which colour do you prefer?

If you want to get these Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies you will want to be quick.

TRANSLUCENT FLORALS PART FRONT CARD!

April 15, 2025April 15, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I made this card for our Retiring Class last week. But then I had to cancel it as I was unwell all week. But I can still show you.

This is with the Translucent Florals Bundle. It is leaving us soon.

It’s such an easy stamp set to work with. It does give it a a “translucent” effect on the flowers when you stamp them and you don’t even need to add any other colour.

You can’t really tell too much in the photo but part of the front of the card is cut off so the front panel hangs over the inside of the card. This shows the card closed.

And the inside of the card.

The embossing Folder I used on the front is leaving too. (Actually I just checked and it is already sold out sorry).

Be sure to check out all the Last Chance items before they go. They are only while supplies last.

You can see all the Last Chance Items -> HERE. If you are in Australia and need to order you can Order in my store at that link OR contact me directly. I am happy to help you out.

A SIMPLE CARD WITH THE THANKFUL GARDEN STAMP SET!

April 3, 2025April 3, 2025 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,

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES WITH BOKEH PAPER!

March 31, 2025March 31, 2025 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.

STAMPIN’ UP! THANKFUL GARDEN WITH PAPER STRIPS

March 18, 2025 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.

BEAUTIFUL BOKEH BUTTERFLIES CARDS

January 27, 2025January 27, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle along with the Beautiful Bokeh Paper. They are a pretty combination together.

For some simple cards I embossed the paper with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I love the depth of texture you get with this folder. The paper gives you the Bokeh effect without creating the mess doing the technique.

These are 2 of the colours. A Balmy Blue look and Calypso Coral.

Then there is this one a little more blue and Fresh Freesia showing on the pattern.

I diecut 3 butterflies in white card to add to the card with a simple HELLO Sentiment. This was cut with the Perennial Postage Dies. Simple but sweet cards. We made this as one of our cards in class last week.

What colour do you like?

This is the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle which includes the Stamp Set, the Dies and the Hybrid Embossing Folder.

You can see more with the Beautiful Butterflies -> HERE.

THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY BOOKBINDING CARD

January 21, 2025January 21, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Recently I shared a Book Binding Card with the cute Toadstool Gardens Paper. That was part of a Blog Hop I was in. Today I’m sharing another version along with the link to create your own.

This one is created with the Thoughtful Journey Paper. The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set and using the To The Point Label Punch.
