JUST A CIRCLE WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! EMBOSSING FOLDER ~

Jenny Hayward

The details in the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is amazing! I have had a lot of fun with this folder lately. And I can’t wait to show you more with what I have created with it. But today I am sharing this one with you.

When you don’t feel like colouring the whole embossed piece you can diecut a circle or other shape and colour that small area. And don’t forget to colour with the blue around the flowers. It helps them POP more.

I embossed a piece of white card with the Sunflower Embossing Folder then I diecut a circle in another piece of white card. Then embossed the card. It is better to diecut the shape first. If you do that after you have embossed the card it can flatten the detail.

I used the Daubers and inks to colour this one. And used the Balmy Blue Light Stampin’ Blend for the surrounds.

I heat embossed the sentiment on black card. This helps it POP more too. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

Have you tried the Sunflower Embossing Folder? It is a large one but there are lots of different Sunflower shapes over it and you can pick the area you like depending on your project.

The Embossing Folder measures 6″ x 8-1/2″ (15.2 x 21.6 cm). I said it was a large one!

You can see it more -> HERE.

Hope you get to create with it. I will bring you more with it soon.

We will be creating with this folder in class this week. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in my classes. They are lots of fun and I can share lots of tips and and techniques that are sometimes a little tricky to share through a blog post.

MOSSY MEADOW FLORAL CHARM CARD ~

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.

STAMPIN’ UP! THANKFUL GARDEN WITH PAPER STRIPS

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.

CORNER IN BLOOM LAVENDER CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I was playing with the Corner in Bloom Stamp Set recently. I was wanting to colour the pretty lavender type flowers. I’m not exactly sure if they are lavender but we will go with that right. 🙂

I noticed in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue how the creator had coloured the sample and I thought I would try that. This is the card.

Here’s a closer look at the card. I used the Night of Navy Light Stampin’ Blends and the Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.

The card mat was embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder.

Both the Stamp Set and the Embossing Folder are available as Sale-A-Bration choices with your $100 order (AUD).

This is the Corner in Bloom Stamp Set.

Sale-A-Bration is not around for much longer so if you want to grab these great products as your bonus gifts then you need to get your order in very soon.

Maybe you can use this idea from this card to colour your flowers when you are creating next.

Happy Creating,

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH THE LAYERS OF BEAUTY!

Jenny Hayward

For one of our cards in our “Beauty Class” last week we played with the Spotlighting technique with the Layers of Beauty.

To create the Spotlighting Technique, firstly stamp the large flower and diecut a circle out in an area on the flower. The Stylish Shapes dies were used for that. Instead of using the masks to colour the flowers on the diecut circle we coloured them with the Stampin’ Blends.

Colouring the background area with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends helps to make the flowers POP. Adding a black circle mat behind the coloured circle part helps to make it POP too.

During the class while others were working on their projects I created a different version of the card by turning the card the other way.

This one has added sparkle too with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper.

Here is a close-up of the Spotlight area.

What do you think? Maybe try the Spotlighting Technique yourself.

The Layers of Beauty is a lovely bundle. For this one I have only used the Stamps which work so well in themselves.

You can see the full bundle in my store -> HERE. BONUS – They are 10% off this month which is awesome!

BEACH DAY BOARDS!

Jenny Hayward

It’s Beach Days Today. We have had so much rain here recently and I’m missing the beach. So I pulled out Beach Day stamps and dies that I had just received and created my own beach days.

The circle was diecut with one of the Deckled Circles Dies. I then diecut a circle using the small Circle in the Beach Day Dies to create a mask to blend the sun. The colours for the sun was Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. After that I sponged Balmy Blue around the edges for the sky.

If you want to see how it is done I have added a quick video on my Facebook page and on Instagram. You can view it on Facebook -> HERE. By the way do you follow me there? Be sure to HIT the Follow so you can catch what I share there.

The board were stamped in Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight. Then with the light Stampin’ Blends I coloured an outline inside the board edge. I saw this idea on another card on Pinterest but now I don’t know who that was.

When I diecut the sand from Crumb Cake I brushed on some Crumb Cake Ink to the edge and then stamped the seashells.

The paper background is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. The greeting was diecut from the Happy Little Things Dies.

Does that bring you Beach Day vibes? I hope so.

These are available in the new catalogue now.

COLOURED SIMPLE STIPPLED ROSES!

Jenny Hayward

I shared a simple card recently with the Simple Stippled Roses stamps with no colouring on it. I ventured in to colouring with this card. 

I don’t colour a lot. I have to say these flowers took a LONG time to colour. Longer than I probably should have. I just wanted to get them right. Still not sure but in the end I left it as it is.

I wanted to have them overhang the edge of the card so I cut off half of the front of the card. The paper on the front is the Perennial Lavender Paper.

You can see how they overhang on the inside. I stamped on the white card mat too. Unfortunately you can see the colouring on the back of the roses. I didn’t really think about that at the time.

This is the card laying flat so you can see it. (The lighting was a little different with this one apologies for that).

The Stippled Roses Stamps and Dies are available in the Mini Catalogue.

You can see them more in my store -> HERE.

EVERLASTING BEAUTY – NEARLY BINNED!!

Jenny Hayward

I’m sharing this card with you today but I can tell you it nearly didn’t happen. I coloured the flowers from the Everlasting Beauty stamp set – and I hated it! I tossed it aside and that was my crafting done for the day. Do you ever feel like that??

The next day I picked it up. I still didn’t love it but thought maybe I could do something with it. So I finished the card and actually it wasn’t so bad. So here it is.

The flowers were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. And the flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape on White card to create a background. The Old Olive card strip was embossed with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Go-To Greetings Stamp Set.

So I thought I would share – if you feel discouraged with a card firstly, don’t be hard on yourself. If need be step away from it, put it aside. Later maybe come back with fresh eyes and see that it may not be too bad. And really aren’t we our worst critic.

Have a Happy day and Be Kind to yourself.
