PRETTY FLORALS “LEFTOVER” CARD

June 17, 2025June 17, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Well that sounds exciting doesn’t it?? A Leftovers Card. It can be good to use those little Leftover bits though.

I was making a card for someone on the weekend. It just wasn’t working for them I thought. I put that idea aside and pulled out some “leftover” bits to get a card together for my card stash. (I will get back to the special card later). So, this card came together with mostly “leftovers”.

I had a large flower and the edging and also a leaf from a previous project that I didn’t use. I just diecut some extra leaves and added it to the flower. I added some ink to highlight the flower. These were with the Pretty Florals Dies.

I had a piece of white card with a sentiment stamped already so cut it down to fit. This sentiment is from the Notes and Totes Bundle. I already had the embossed white with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder so I added strips on each side of the paper.

Here is the card.

So leftovers can be handy sometimes so pull them out and have fun creating with them.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

LOVE AND JOY WITH NESTS OF WINTER PAPER!

November 12, 2024November 12, 2024 Jenny Hayward

This is a simple card with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

The paper has such pretty bird images. This one you don’t need too much with. I added the Love and Joy from the Greetings of the Season Stamps and diecut it with the Nested Essentials Die. I added a smaller one diecut with Red Glimmer Paper. It just adds a little sparkle to the simpleness.

This is one of the cards we made at our recent Nests of Winter Class. I usually start off with a simple card and then move on to more detailed ones. Such fun! If you are local in Wollongong come along. Or you can have the Card Kits mailed out to you if you are in Australia.

This is the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

You can see more of it in my store -> HERE.

ABUNDANT BEAUTY SNOWFLAKES WITH SENDING CHEER BUNDLE

October 27, 2023October 26, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This card is using one of the other masks in the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. While there is the set of masks to build up the Sunflower there is also the snowflake mask, the leaves and the Argyle pattern mask.

For this one I have used the snowflake mask.

The snowflakes were ink blended with Balmy Blue ink and then a touch of Night of Navy ink added on parts of the snowflake.

I used the Sending Cheer Bundle with it. It’s hard to tell but the bow on the gift is heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder for some shine. I have used the Nested Essentials Dies for the banner.

If you are wondering about the blue strip. That is from the Textured Shimmer Paper pack. It has a subtle shine. It’s a shame you can’t see it.

We made this one for one of the cards in my classes recently. If you are a Wollongong local we would love you to join us. They are lots of fun. Send me a message and I can send you the details for our upcoming classes. If you are not local you can grab the Class Kits by Mail.

This is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks if you haven’t noticed them yet.

You can find them in my store -> HERE.

I hope you get them and have a play with them. They are so fun.

STAMPIN’ UP! JOY TO YOU WITH COTTAGE WREATHS FOR CHRISTMAS!

September 26, 2023September 26, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This was one of the cards we made at last week’s Christmas Crafternoon event. It needed it to be kept fairly simple with so many people attending and many new to stamping too.

It uses the Joy To You Stamp Set and the Cottage Wreaths set. Along with the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

To streamline the process I diecut the white piece using the Nested Essentials Dies and diecut the red bow from the Country Wreaths Dies.

Everyone enjoyed the creating even those who had never done it before. So that is always exciting to see.

We are doing the Christmas Crafternoon again on October 15th so if you are local drop me a message and I can send you the details.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

A window was diecut from the Misty Moonlight card mat with Nested Essentials Dies and a piece of the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper adhered underneath before adding it to the white card base.

A strip of Calypso Coral card was embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder for added texture. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set.
