WEDNESDAY’S WOW! 171 – A QUICK, SIMPLE CARD TO IMPRESS ~

December 10, 2025December 10, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #171 – Make a quick, simple card to impress your friends.

Do you want a card that’s quick to make yet still want to WOW! your receiver?? Try this idea.

Trim off 2.5cm or 1″ from the Right Hand Side of your card front. Add some gorgeous paper and elements to the front. Inside add a strip of patterned paper that co-ordinates with the front paper that is just slightly smaller than the section. Add some white card so there is a space to write on. This really doesn’t take much more time that creating a full card.

This is great timing if you still have some Christmas cards to make. You can try this for any occasion though.

On this card I used the Stampin’ Up! Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. The Black, White and Gold makes any cards elegant. I also used the Ornamental Christmas Bundle.

Hope your Christmas creating is coming along well. We are nearly at the finish line.

Happy Christmas Creating,

Jenny

FROSTED FOREST FOR WEEK 7 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS

November 15, 2024November 29, 2024 Jenny Hayward

It’s Week 7 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series.

This week’s card is using the Frosted Forest stamps and masks. You could use this idea with any tree stamp.

This is a Portrait Fold card. That’s what I’m calling it anyway. I’m not sure if it has a particular name. The fold is at the top of the card.

You can follow along with the video below. The full tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter if you are a subscriber. If not check the side bar on my blog.

I have used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper and some sparkly Glimmer Paper.

I used just one mask in the Frosted Forest mask set. You can add other layers of ink if you would like to.

This is the card.

Embossing the card mat adds some extra texture. I have used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder on this one.

Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

OFF-SET GATEFOLD CARD FOR WEEK 5 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

November 1, 2024November 4, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Week 5 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This week it is an Off-Set Gatefold card. It’s just a little different to the regular Gatefold Cards.

For this card I have used the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. It’s so easy to cut one of the sweet birds from the paper to add to the front of your card. One of the Dies from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies is meant to diecut one of the birds but you can fussy-cut them out too.

Create this how you like to and it can be great for any occasion. Once you have the scoring worked out it’s very easy to create. You can follow along in the video.

The pretty diecut circle was cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I do love this die set with the pretty edges. There are 3 different die edges in the set. See them more -> HERE.

The written tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter. If you would like to receive them the link details are in the right hand side column.

This is the card created and you can see the inside.

Have fun creating one. And share it with me if you like to. I love to see other versions.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
