SUNDAY SUITES – ICE CREAM CORNER SUITE!

It’s been a bit hot here recently. What better way for this Sunday Suites by looking at the Ice Cream Corner Suite. Just looking at these make you feel nice and cool right? Although I should say for my readers in the Northern Hemisphere Ice Cream is not what you would be feeling like at the moment. I have heard it’s pretty cold and snowy there. Hope you can enjoy these fresh and cool products anyway.

Below is the full Ice Cream Corner Suite Collection. In Australia it is $97.50

The Ice Cream Corner Suite Collection includes:
* Sweet Ice Cream Photopolymer Stamp Set
* Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch
* Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon
* Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper
* Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles

What about the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle which has the stamp set and the fun Ice Cream Builder Punch.

By the way can you see a bear’s head in the ice cream on the punch?? I have seen some cute cards with that by adding some fun googly eyes. Just another way to use this punch.

The Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. What gorgeous colours in it. The colours are – Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Purple Posy, So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam, Terracotta Tile.

Well we can’t show the products without showing some cute samples. These are created by Stampin’ Up! Artists. Don’t forget the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles to make fun shaker cards.

This is available in my store now -> HERE. Shop now. Please use the Host Code: DMT9KWPQ

Now I think it is time for Ice Cream. 🙂

MASKED BACKGROUND WITH THE NEW STAMPIN’ UP! BLENDING BRUSHES

Have you seen the new Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes?? I have had mine for a couple of weeks but have just pulled them out this week. I have been having so much fun with them. How soft and delicate are the bristles!! They are lovely.

On yesterday’s Facebook Live I used the brushes on the card and shared some tips in using them.

The edited video is now on Youtube. I will add it below too. If you are receiving this blog post via email it might not show up so head to my blog or you can go to Youtube directly.

I will be sharing some more cards with the Blending Brushes very soon so watch out for them.

A couple of tips with using them though. You will want to treat them differently than the sponges or the Daubers.

  • When picking up the ink from the inkpad you will want to “rub gently” not dab like you might with the sponges.
  • Dab off a little on scrap paper first. I do this with the sponges anyway.
  • When applying ink to your card move in a circular motion with light pressure.
  • Hold the brush down towards the brush head.
  • If you are sponging the whole card start off the edge of the card and work lightly in.

I hope these tips help. I will put together a video soon sharing some cool ways of using the brushes.

Here is the card from the video. I have used the Dragonfly Garden on the card.

On the Dragonfly I stamped the “solid” wing stamp on the wing outline in Blushing Bride and then coloured just the tip of the wings with the Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Write Marker or you can use the Stampin’ Blends.

The Blending Brushes are available in my store now -> HERE. for $21 AUD

Thanks for visiting today,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #118 – WHAT’S THIS NEW BASIC WHITE CARD?

Wednesday’s WOW! #118. You might have heard about some new White card that Stampin’ Up! has. Today let’s check it out closer to see how the Basic White compares to the previous Whisper White.

Sadly the previous Whisper White card and other products ended. So a frantic dash was made to source a new card. It was important that the new White card performed to the expectations that we as crafters need for all the stamping and techniques we do.

The new Basic White card seems to have passed the quality tests and it is now available in cardstock and envelopes and great to use for all your stamping, great for colouring with the Stampin’ Blends and for many of the Techniques you love to do.

I don’t need to say too much more about it as you can check out how it performs and with a little more explanation in the video -> HERE.

If you need some new White cardstock it is now available in my store.

Basic White -> HERE. Thick Whisper White -> HERE.

Keep on creating,

Jenny

FLOWER AND FIELD FLOWER CARD!

Have you seen the lovely Flower and Field Designer Series Paper?? One side has some great flower patterns and the other side has more plain prints.

Flower and Field DSP

For the card I am sharing today I have used 2 of the papers. I love how they work together. And, the card is oh so easy to put together!

The flowers were fussy cut from one of the prints and I love how it contrasted so well with the stripey print. I added the Vellum rectangle, cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, to help highlight the flowers so they don’t get so lost among the stripes. A simple sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set and cut with the Messages Die.

You can grab this Flower and Field Designer Series Paper Free with your orders over $90 for Sale-A-Bration. Or choose any of the other sets. Less than 2 weeks left!

In Australia? You can contact me directly to order on 0439 844574 or head to my store to shop -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: DMT9KWPQ

HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK POP OUT SWING CARD + VIDEO!

Friday Flicks. I have a fun card for you in today’s video. This video is a replay from my Facebook Live on Wednesday. I created a Pop Out Swing Card with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle. I have made a few of these over the years and I love making them. It has been a while so thought I would pull it out again and freshen it up.

Here is the card for you first.

Hey Chick Pop Out Swing Card _ Inside

Check it out on the video. (If you are receiving this via email then the video may not show. Head to the blog post by clicking on the title above or head to Youtube).

It is now also uploaded to Youtube -> HERE. (Have you subscribed to my Youtube channel yet. I’m shooting for 200 subscribers by the end of the month so head on over there) 🙂

MAKE YOUR OWN POP OUT SWING CARD

The video will show you the details. I will give you general details and measurements below.

Base card is a standard size card. Designer Series paper is 4mm (1/8″) smaller. I used the Balmy Blue pattern in the Subtles pack New demonstrators receive free in Sale-A-Bration. (They will receive a pack from each Colour Collection. 200 6″x6″ in total valued at $100)

I used the Layering Squares Dies for the window cut-out. You can use a circle or rectangle also if you wish.

The inside White card measures. 15.2cm x 12.8cm (6″ x 5″). Score at 5cm and 10cm. (2″ and 4″). Adhere to the inside of the card with the white card in the folded position. ONLY place adhesive on the back of the right hand section. Centre it inside the card to the right and at the top and bottom. Close up the card and adhere the square panel in through the window to adhere to the white bi-folded card. Only place adhesive on the back on the right hand section.

Check out the Hey Chick or the Hey Birthday Chick Bundles. They both have the cute chicks and dies that co-ordinate with each one.

Most of my team members are “hobbyists”. I think we are all Hobbyists as we love our “hobby” of crafting. Some just take it a little further and may “sell” to family and friends and others. There is no obligation. I welcome all types of crafters.

I look forward to welcoming you to my team.

SWEET SUNDAY STAMPING – LOTS OF HEARTS BUNDLE!

Sweet Sunday Stamping – looking at some sweet stamps and bundles that are cute – or sweet!

Today I wanted to share about the Lots of Hearts Bundle. We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day all that much here and I think people dismiss this sweet. But take a closer look. This is not just for Valentine’s Day.

The Many Hearts Dies have some sweet hearts but there are some cute dies to add a border on your projects. And don’t we need to send some more cards with these sayings.

See the background with the XOXO. That’s fun! You could use those off-cuts in a shaker card.

I love the dotted heart pattern that the die makes on your card.

Available in my store now -> HERE. Grab them and send a friend a little “heart” to let them know you are thinking of them.

If ordering online please use the Host Code: DMT9KWPQ

Or Contact me and I will help you with your order. PH: Jenny 0439 844574

The Lots of Heart Bundle is $83.70 (AUD). Add in some adhesive or a pack of cardstock to reach $90 and then pick your Sale-A-Bration choice. Too easy! 🙂

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

TWO STEP WITH A TOUCH OF INK!

Another card with you using the A Touch of Ink stamp set. This card is one we made at class a couple of weeks ago. It was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. I didn’t save the actual card so I can’t remember the original creator. I changed it up a little.

Two Step A Touch of Ink

With the A Touch Of Ink stamp set I love that it is a 2-step stamp set. You can colour the line art images but you have the great option of using the solid image stamps to “fill” the images.

For this card stamp the leaves on white card with Just Jade and use the Soft Sea Foam to colour the leaves with the solid leaf stamp. I ran the white card through the Subtles Embossing Folder and wrapped around some White Baker’s Twine.

For the hummingbird, stamp in Memento Black. To colour it I inked up the solid stamp with Flirty Flamingo. Before stamping I used the Daubers or you can use a sponge to lightly add ink on the edges. On the top I inked with Poppy Parade. Along the bottom edge of the bird I inked with Pumpkin Pie. Then stamp on to the white diecut circle. If you find the Flirty Flamingo too dark then before inking the edges lightly stamp off the bird on to scrap paper.

The sentiment on this is heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and diecut with the Messages Die.

I don’t want you missing out on this gorgeous A Touch of Ink stamp set. It’s only available for one more month. This is a Level 2 Sale-A-Bration choice. When you order over $180 you can choose this set.

As an added bonus this week I have a little special.

When you order over $180 you can choose the A Touch Of Ink stamp set (or you can choose any other of the products too). As a Thanks to you I will send out to you 2 card kits that you can create your own cards with as well as a sample of the lovely Oh So Ombre paper.

If you are in Austalia I would love to help you with your orders. You can contact me directly on 0439 844574 or head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: CJ7PPUEC
