PEACH PIE AND SPARKLE WITH SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE!

Have you noticed the In Color Glimmer Paper. It adds a little sparkle to your projects. It’s so pretty.

This card has just a little strip of the Peach Pie Glimmer Paper. We created the card for my Catalogue Launch just recently. I was inspired to create this card from one similar I saw on Pinterest but can’t remember who it was now.

The card is with the lovely Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set and uses the Spotlight On Nature Dies also. The paper is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper.

This is the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper.

You receive one 12″x12″ sheet of each colour. It is so sparkly and so pretty. A little bit goes a long way.

It is available now in the new Annual Catalogue. You can see it in my store now -> HERE if you would like some of the sparkly prettiness.

Or you can contact me directly and I can help you.

And here is the Spotlight on Nature Stamp Set and the Dies. These are so versatile.

Grab some of these for your crafting now.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE FOR THE BEGINNER STAMPER!

The new catalogue began this week. Woo Hoo! Have you checked it out yet?

This week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Beginners Stamping series. It’s a large number of videos with tips for the Beginner crafter. They may even help the “well-seasoned” stamper too.

You can follow along with these videos -> HERE. Take your time and work through them. You can come back to them anytime too. AND it’s free!

It will take you through the basics of the types of stamps, inks, adhesives. Also, Cutting and scoring your cards (which I created a video for). That’s always tricky! Then goes through some simple techniques to try.

Head over and check in on it.

As part of this series there is also a number of videos with some more Simple designs. Simple stamping can be a challenge even for the more advanced stamper.

Continue on with that video series and you will find them.

I have added my video here for you to check out. This one is Cutting and Scoring your card in Metric.

I have added the Imperial Cutting and Scoring too as I know many of my followers here are from the US.

This is the project I created for my Simple stamping card.

I will add my video below here on the Simple Stamping project you can create. This simple card is above. For the Stepped Up version check below.

I created a Stepped Up version. Adding a little more texture and elements. Of course you could go way more avid but a few additions can really add to your project already.

I have used the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set.

You can see the added texture and elements here. I think a little glitter should be added to the butterfly.

So with a few steps you can take your card to the next level.

This Spotlight on Nature stamp set is really gorgeous for any level of crafter.

It does come as a Bundle too with some gorgeous shape dies great layering.

You can see it more -> HERE.

Head over and check the videos out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

With a new catalogue comes new In Colors. 

Introducing the 2024-2026 In Colors.  Some may look familiar.  What’s your favourite?

I’m still trying to decide but I have been using a lot of Petunia Pop recently.

NEW COLOUR – BASIC BEIGE

There is a new colour introduced – Basic Beige.  It’s a light cream colour.  Great for subtle stamping and No Line watercolouring.  Just a little lighter than Crumb Cake. 

It doesn’t fit in any of the Colour Collections but part of the Basics range.

PLANTED PARADISE – PLANTS YOU WON’T KILL!!

I don’t have a Green Thumb. I love plants. I admire them BUT I forget to water them and I don’t know all the nutrients they need. I do like this Planted Paradise stamp set though. I can create cards with lovely potted plants and not worry about killing them.

This card was one I made for a class last week. It was a ‘Thoughts of You’ Class. It’s nice to send out Thinking of You cards to let others know you care.

The paper is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper pack.

It’s a simple card. Having the loop of ribbon between the white circle and the Copper Clay Circle. It just adds a little variation. Ribbon is great for added texture too. The white card is embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folder packs.

If you are local why not come and join us at class sometime. We would love to have you along. Look out for upcoming classes or contact me and I can let you know. Most of my classes are available By Mail option too and you can make them at home in your own time.

Have a great day,

Jenny

SOFTLY SOPHISTICATED MINI TAGS!

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.

QUICK CHRISTMAS TAG INSPIRATION!

I’m a little late to the party with this post. Life got away before Christmas to share these BUT… I thought I would share them anyway. You could save them or file them away for inspiration for next year. 🙂

These are some fairly quick Christmas Tags you can whip them up for your Christmas Gifts. You may even use some ideas for tags for other occasions.

We created these in my last class for the year. It was fun! Classes are on a little break now but will be back in the New Year.

For these tags we used Sending Cheer, Trucking Along and Cottage Wreaths.

I hope they can inspire you for later creating.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
