FLOWERING FOILS FAVOURITE FOR SALE-A-BRATION 2ND RELEASE!

Today is the 2nd release for Sale-A-Bration.  As if you didn’t have enough choices right!

You can see all the items in the catalogue -> HERE.

Of course there are some great choices.  I have to say though my favourite is the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper.

We have had similar paper in past years.  These are just (if not more) as gorgeous.

There are 12 12″x 12″ white sheets with embossed designs in Rose Gold and Silver.  There are 4 designs and 3 of each sheet.

You can leave them plain or colour them with a sponge/dauber or with the Stampin’ Blends.

This is one of the cards I created with the paper coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.  I have used the Balmy Blue and coloured the background then used the Daffodil Delight for the flower centres.

The sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set.  Such lovely words.  I had the vellum diecut from the Flourishes Dies left over from another project and it worked well with this.

It’s hard to tell in the photo but I have used the ornate die strip from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. You can see it better in the photo below.

These projects are created by Stampin’ Up! artists but it shows how pretty the paper is sponged.

So how do you get yourself some of this Flowering Foils paper??

It’s available free as part of Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD until the end of March.  

In Australia?  Head to my store now -> HERE and shop for your stamps, ink paper.  When your order totals over $90 you can select this as your free item.

There are other choices too and other options for over $180 too.  Don’t miss them.

Happy Shopping – and creating. 🙂

Have a great day,

Jenny

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS WEEK – DAY 4 – WHITEWASHED GIRLS!

Day 4 of our Beautiful Moments Week.  This card is a technique I have wanted to try for a while.  I thought this set was a great one to try it.  This technique is known as the Whitewash Technique.  Have you tried it before?

Here is my card.

To create the Whitewash:

Stamp your image on dark coloured cardstock  (Crumb Cake used here) using Versamark and heat emboss with White Embossing Powder.  Using White Reinker, drop 1-2 drops on to a clear block.  Add some drops of water using the Aquapainter and mix the 2 together.  Pick up some white ink with the Aquapainter and paint the image in white.  Allow this to dry completely.  It may take a little time.

Once dry pick up some colour from the inkpads using the Aquapainter. (Be sure to clean the Aquapainter after using the white ink). Paint the image in your colour choices.

To finish the card:

Diecut the card.  I have used the new Nature’s Thoughts Dies.

On a side note: How pretty is this die??  Something a little different to the stitched effect.  Using the decorative die in the Nature’s Thoughts Dies diecut a strip of white card.  Trim to size and then adhere to the back of the Crumb Cake card.

Adhere a piece of the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration on to Thick Whisper White card.  Raise up the stamped Crumb Cake card piece off the card using Dimensionals.

Stamp a Sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set and diecut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  Raise that up off the card.

Hope you get to try this technique.

Be sure to get  your Beautiful Moments stamp set in store but also I think you need to grab the Nature’s Thoughts Dies too.  They will be a great addition.  I will talk more about these another time but see them in store -> HERE.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

MEERKAT LOVE CARD!

So it’s Valentine’s Day on Friday.  We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day that much in Australia.  Maybe a card or a chocolate treat for our “significant other”. I don’t even make a card. (am I bad??) 🙂

I couldn’t resist this cute little card though.  This is created by Stampin’ Up! artists.  It seems the cute The Gang’s All Meer set has even made it to Valentine’s greetings.  You can’t resist their cute little faces can you.

Lots of hearts are added with this cute meerkat using the Heart Doilies, From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Heart Punches.  The “love” is from the Well Written Dies.

The Gang’s All Meer Set is a Free choice for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90.  Available now in my store -> HERE Ordering now you won’t receive it by Valentine’s Day but it’s a cute set for any occasion.

This card wouldn’t take long to put together if you still need a Valentine’s card in a hurry.

Just remember that even if you don’t receive a Valentine’s card or chocolates.  You are loved. ❤

Have a happy day,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – TROPICAL OASIS SUITE!

It’s time for another Sunday Suites.  I have been sharing a few projects recently with the Tropical Oasis Suite of products but let’s look more closely at them in more detail.

Here we have the full Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle of products.

The Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle includes
* Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* In the Tropics Dies (10% off)
* Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper
* Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder
* Tropical Oasis Trinkets
* Saddle Brown Stazon Ink Pad and Refill
* Timeless Tropical Memories & More Card Pack
* 5/16″ (8 mm) Braided Burlap Trim

I have a few favourites in this suite of products from the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to the cute Tropical Oasis Trinkets.  The Timeless Tropical Memories and More card pack is so versatile as it makes some really cool cards with them not just for your Memory keeping.

This is the paper below.  If you want to check it out closer head to the Youtube video -> HERE.

Below are the sweet Tropical Oasis Trinkets.  I think they are adorable.   You receive 24 trinkets: 6 each of 4 designs
The Largest trinket is 3/4″ x 1/2” (1.9 x 1.3 cm).  Not bad for $13 AUD. I find the best way to adhere these to your projects is with a Glue Dot.

The Tropical Oasis Memories and More cards.  You know some of these would be great to frame.  Well I think so as I have a “coastal” sort of style in my house.

I love the texture that the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder gives on your projects.

A great addition in this suite of products is the Saddle Brown Stazon.  It’s great for your watercolouring projects and I think it is a little softer than the Black Stazon.  It gives a more subtle outline.  You can use the regular Stazon Cleaner to clean your stamps after using the Saddle Brown Stazon.  The refill is available too. 

Not only is it good for watercolouring it’s a nice Brown shade for your earthy, neutral projects.

Some more projects with this suite, just because. 🙂

The Tropical Oasis Suite has certainly been popular with my customers.  What are your thoughts of it??

You can see the Suite in my store -> HERE and order there as well. Or contact me directly.

After you place your order I will send you out the Tutorial Bundle of 12 projects (not all are with this suite).

Have a great Sunday,

Jenny

BLUE POPPY PATCH WITH THE PAINTED POPPIES!

Last week I shared a card with the Painted Poppies stamp set in a blue colour.  I made another card at the same time too so thought I would show you that one.

I used the Stone 3D Embossing Folder on the Balmy Blue card as I did on the other one.  The Poppies was stamped in Memento Black and then coloured with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. Gotta love the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I used those to cut the white scalloped rectangle.

The sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings was heat embossed in white on black card and punched with the Classic Label Punch.

The Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon is so lovely.  It is soft and so easy to tie in to a bow.  Don’t forget you can colour this ribbon with your Stampin’ Blends if you want to match your project.

I’m thinking other colours for these poppies.  Let’s see how we go with that one.

Have a great week,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #94- MASKING WITH THE GANG’S ALL MEER!

Wednesday’s WOW! #94 – Let’s look at these cute little meerkats in the The Gang’s All Meer set available for Sale-A-Bration.  You have just got to love the sweet smiles don’t you?? 🙂

This set is great for fun birthday cards whether it’s just from you or from a whole group.  They are very easy to colour with any of your colour mediums whether it is the inkpads, watercolour pencils or Stampin’ Blends.  It has some other fun elements in the set with the little party hat for those meerkats or the cactus, or even a cute gecko that can join in the party.

See the stamp set in action in this video and particularly the great way of using this set with the masking technique.  It’s so easy and you can have a card full of these cute critters.

Below is the card with the masked Meerkats so you can get a better view of it.  Stamp as many meerkats as you like. You could use any other image you have using this same technique.

Here are some other samples Brian shared in this video so you can have a closer look.

 

Now you can have these cute meerkats yourself.

Choose this for your Free choice with orders over $90 AUD (or choose any other of the options) as your Free Sale-A-Bration choice.  Check it out in store-> HERE.

SUNDAY SUITES – BEST DRESSED SUITE!

Sunday Suites are back for 2020.  This week since I have been sharing projects with the Best Dressed Suite let’s have a closer look at the whole suite.

I think the Best Dressed Suite is a really fun one and can be quite classy too.

This is what is included in the entire Best Dressed Suite Bundle.

The Best Dressed Suite Bundle includes:

* Dressed to Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)
* All Dressed Up Dies (10% off)
* Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper
* Mint Macaron 1/8″ (3.2 cm) Sheer Linen Ribbon
* Best Dressed 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Note Cards & Envelopes
* Best Dressed Tassels

Colours used in the suite are: Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Mint Macaron.

Let’s have a closer look at the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.  It is gorgeous.  One side has stylish images, the other side has floral prints either large or small.

One thing I learned when preparing my projects for Onstage was that the larger floral prints have been designed with white spaces around the flowers so you can easily fussy cut them to add directly to your projects.  I will share more about that on another post.

The Best Dressed Notecards and envelopes make really quick note cards to give to others.  They have a partly printed “swoosh” on the front of the card and the envelopes are printed on as well.  There are 24 in total with the cards and envelopes and they come in Daffodil Delight, Purple Posy and Petal Pink.  They are really sweet.  They are little cards measuring 3″x3″ or 7.6cm x 7.6cm.

What about some samples with these mini notecards.  These are straight from the catalogue. The notecards fit nicely inside the bag too so that gives you an idea of the size of the bag.

The All Dressed Dies are really fun.  They make the sweetest little bags.  You can change them up anyway you like.  See the samples below.  I have created a few fun bags already that I will share with you soon.

Don’t forget the Best Dressed Tassels as well.  There are 18 in total. 6 each in Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock and Whisper White.  With the White ones too you can colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or sit them in a little dish with reinker and water.

In the dies set is the long stitched die.  It’s great for the handles on your bags or I have used it as an edging but what about this fun idea.  Add the strips to the front of a card to create added texture.  This card sample is from Stampin’ Up!

So what do you think of the Best Dressed Suite?? Fun hey??
