STAMPIN’ UP! CUTEST CREW ON A BANNER – BUT SHOULD I??

I really struggled with this card.

I had the little puppies coloured for a few weeks. Then to put the card together I couldn’t get it to work where I was happy with it. I probably redid this card 4 times.

Here it is though. Because we can share the good, the bad and the ugly.

I diecut the banner from the Painted Illusions Paper but the background… Do I add a strip of card? The colours weren’t working. I diecut the strip? Still not great. Do I emboss the white card mat. One time the embossing just wouldn’t work with the paper. It seemed too busy for the pattern on the paper. Maybe I was overthinking it all.

So I settled on this. I’m still not sure about it but I think it is the better option. 😁

What are your thoughts? Should I change the colour? Maybe file it in the bin? HAHA! At the end of the day the puppies are cute. 😊

Oh! And if you hadn’t seen the stamps and dies bundle before it’s the Cutest Crew Bundle.

The diecut banner is from the Party Banners Dies. And another one I have had for a while and this was the first time using it … The White card is embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder.

STAMPIN’ UP! GEARS AND TEXTURES THANK YOU

I have been playing with the Stampin’ Up! Gears and Textures Stamps and Dies. This is a great bundle for those boys cards – or for those who like the Steampunk style. This would work so well.

This is the card.

I teamed it with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Fabulous Sayings set that was the Product of the Month for January.

If you struggle with Masculine cards maybe this one will fill in that gap for you. It has different sizes wheels and strips that work together.

This is the Gears and Textures Bundle.

PAINTED ILLUSIONS PAPER WITH THE TRUSTY TOOLS SET

I have been sharing a lot of projects with the Painted Illusions Paper on Facebook. You might have caught them there but I will try and share them here for you to catch.

Did you notice the wavy patterns in the Painted Illusions Paper? I thought it would be cool to cut along the wavy outline to add to the card front. There are lots of different wavy formations on this paper so you could create any effect.

And I dragged out the fun Trusty Tools set.

I think this Trusty Tools set works well with the paper. And it’s great to pull out some of the older sets to create with. Sometimes they get a little neglected.

What do you think of the curvy lines in the paper? How could you use them?

The Painted Illusions Paper is the February Product of the Month.

I do love the colours and the patterns in this paper.

You can see more with this paper -> HERE.

SWEET SUNDAY WITH A PATCHWORK CARD!

Sweet Sunday with this fun Patchwork card idea. This one is created by Stampin’ Up! Artists with the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper. You could try with any pretty paper though.

Here’s How:

You would need to cut numerous white squares. Diecutting them with one of the small squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies give you that “stitched edge” look. For a card like this you would need 16 squares. Then diecut some squares with your patterned paper. Cut the squares diagonally. Then you can position the white squares over your card mat and place the cut paper squares in position to create the patchwork look. This card would work best with a Square style card.

Try this idea out for a card. And I would love to see it too if you like.

This paper is the Product of the Month that has been out this month. There is a new exclusive product each month.

You can purchase this True Blue Florals Paper for $9 when your order reaches $125. (AUD)

You can find more about the Product of the Month -> HERE.

If you need any supplies you can order at my store at that link above too.

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

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
