Some new crafty products start tomorrow (Tues. 6th January). I have been having lots of crafty fun with these particular ones.
This is the Lovely Arrangements Bundle with the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper. The flowers are easy to colour but for this one I stamped them in the Secret Sea Ink and diecut them and layered them over the card front.
These ones will be available as Online Exclusives. There is so much more starting tomorrow too that I can’t wait to share with you including the January – April Mini Catalogue.
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.

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

December Product of the Month has just been released. This is the gorgeous True Blue Florals 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper.
What do you think??
Here are some projects with this paper. I will be back later to share more with you.
With this one below the lined flowers were fussy cut from one of the papers. It looks so great. The other smaller flowers were cut from another pattern and the centres coloured in yellow.
Use your paper as the card base as a different option.
This one below uses 3 patterns from the paper. And those lovely flowers from the Pretty Florals Bundle but you could use any stamps/dies.
That about a patchwork design. It’s a great way of showing off the different patterns. For this one diecut a number of squares. Having the “dotted” edge from the Stylish Shapes gives a good effect but you could cut your squares with a Paper Trimmer. With the paper squares and some of the white square cut them in half diagonally. I would suggest then laying the pieces out in your patchwork look pattern before you adhere them down. And a TIP: maybe cut a piece of card the same size as your finished piece and adhere the white triangles and paper triangles directly to them to make it easier.
Don’t miss out on your Product of the Month this month. But remember these are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
If you need to shop for your supplies and you are in Australia then I would love to help you get them. You can head to my store -> HERE OR Contact me directly.
One with the Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle today.
Do you add texture on your cards? There are different types of texture here. The embossed background, gold detailed star diecut and some soft satin ribbon. And of course add the bling. Adding the texture adds extra dimension and interest on a card so it is not so flat looking.
If one of your cards is not quite looking right or looking a little flat maybe see how you can add some texture as some type of element. It will make a big difference.
This is the Ornamental Christmas Bundle I have used.
More with the Stampin’ Up! Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. I have loved playing with this paper. It is so shiny and so classy for Christmas this year.
I have to say though. It is hard to take a photo with all the shine and glare you get. I used 2 different patterns of the paper together with this one and then a simple sentiment diecut with a circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
I added texture by embossing a strip of Garden Green card with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. Layering the pieces of paper on a card mat gives some contrast. The Cherry Cobbler piece was diecut with one of the rectangles in the Textured Notes Dies.
This would be a simple design if you have to mass produce your Christmas cards. It still adds a little class and shine but easy to cut and stick together in no time.
Hope your Christmas cards are going well.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Christmas time is certainly the occasion for some gold and shine. This is a simple card with shine using the Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. And the addition of the Ornamental Christmas Bundle.
Initially I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the Garden Green card. It just felt flat. After a couple of days I came back to it and I redid it and heat embossed the sentiment in Gold. That made it extra shiny and classy.
If a card is not working sometimes it’s just a matter of redoing the sentiment to give it a little WOW! especially with some shiny gold.
I’m loving the Ornamental Christmas Bundle and the Modern Christmas Paper. The paper is not your traditional red and green but you can add those colours as well. It gives you extra class.
I have played a lot with the Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle and the Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. It is so gorgeous.
For this one I added a little more classy gold.
To create this diecut an ornament shape from Gold Foil then position it in the Christmas Words Collage Embossing Folder. You can see the words to get the best place. Then emboss through your Diecut Machine.
Also diecut an ornament from the lovely Modern Christmas paper too. Add a strip of black card and then some diecut gold dots.
If you don’t have this particular bundle you could still get a similar look. You may have another ornament style punch or die and even a different Embossing Folder. Gold adds a lot of class for your Christmas cards.
Happy Crafting.
Jenny
