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.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #159 – CREATE AN OMBRE BACKGROUND

Wednesday’s WOW! #159 – An Ombre Background.

Add an extra addition to your next project with an Ombre background – with texture. Try this out.

Emboss your card mat with an embossing folder.

Using a Blending Brush or Brayer sponge over some ink in the same colour as your card. Starting darker towards the bottom and lighten as you work up the card. This creates a subtle variation in colour and is such a great effect.

See how it is done here.

Here’s a card showing this idea. 

This one uses the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. The Embossing Folder is the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. 

They come as a bundle for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $180.

Hope you can try this idea out on your next project.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! FLIGHT AND AIRY PAPER CARD!

Create a card – with your paper. After all it’s such pretty paper.

For this I have used the Flight and Airy Paper.

I fussy cut one of the birds from the paper pack to add to the front with a sentiment layered on vellum and some ribbon.

This is the inside.

Cut a strip of your lovely paper twice the size as you would cut a card mat for the card. So just slightly smaller than your card base. Score a line down the middle and adhere the back to the card mat.

I have added a card mat as a base to make it sturdier but you could use it just with the paper as a card. 

Don’t forget to decorate the inside too.

This is such pretty paper. Really it is a must have!

This paper is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! MERRIEST TREES – TRIO OF TREES!

More trees today with the Merriest Trees Bundle.

I have used these stamps and dies a lot. I mentioned this card in my video last week.

Did you catch the video?? You can head back a post or 2 and see 5 Ways with the Merriest Trees.

For this card 3 trees were diecut from the Joy of Christmas paper. The words were heat embossed in Gold on the green print one. It’s simple but adds a little elegance. And then a little gold star at the top.

The background white card is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Have you seen the Merriest Trees Bundle? There are some great tree dies and other elements in the dies?

Great news! These stamps and dies will be carried over to next year’s Catalogue. BUT they will be dearer as they will be available individually not as a bundle.

You can see them in Online -> HERE.

If you would like them and you are in Australia you can order directly at that link above. Please use the Host Code: ZRU4QJVE OR contact me directly.

Have a happy day,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #157 – TIPS FOR TYING BOWS

Wednesday’s WOW! #157 – Tip for tying your bows.

Do you struggle with tying bows on your cards?? I get a groan every time in class when I say we have bows to do.

Here’s a tip that might help you.

Wrap the ribbon around a block or you could try an inkpad. These are a little more sturdier to tie the ribbon which helps. Tie your bow then snip the ribbon at the back. Then you can add the the ribbon to the card by tying the ends around the back.

Give that a try. I hope it helps you.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY – WISHES ALL AROUND!

It’s not just one card for this Sweet Sunday. It’s the whole bundle. The Wishes All Around Bundle.

I think this bundle is so fun with the circles of trees and snowflakes. We don’t often make cards with snowflakes here in Australia. It’s too hot and sunny for that at Christmas. But the trees are very cool!

Let’s see them.

This one is stamping the trees twice. Once in Garden Green on Soft Seafoam and again in Garden Green on Garden Green. Then layer them together and add a little of the foliage. But how quick is it with the Brushed Gold Cards and Envelopes.

This is another one with the trees. Stamped in Bubble Bath and then again in Moody Mauve. The Moody Mauve trees are snipped out and layered on to the Bubble Bath ones. Oh! And check out the background. There Bubble Bath Ink has been swiped over the card base.

Here is another card so you can see the circle of snowflakes.

This is the Wishes All Around Bundle (stamps and dies).

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

If you are in Australia and need some supplies you can stop by there and shop. Please use the Host Code: DGASD34B

Or contact me directly and I can help you.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny
