STAMPIN’ UP! HEART SHAPED STAMPS AND DIES IN LAVENDER!

I have been loving the Heart Shaped Stamps and Dies.

They are so pretty. The elegant leafy heart die is different to your regular diecut heart. I think this type of heart can be used for many different occasions not just for the “love” type cards.

I teamed it with the Perennial Lavender Paper. I think we move on to the new and greatest new thing and forget the “older” products. The Lavender paper works so well with this leafy heart.

Here is the card.

If you notice too, I diecut the heart from the Perennial Lavender Paper too. It gives a nice, subtle colour variation. The stamped leafy heart add something extra to the diecut heart.

How pretty is this set??

It’s such a simple but elegant set. Sadly it is going this Friday. This is one of the Level 2 Sale-A-Bration choices. Meaning you can choose this one with orders over $200 AUD. I think it is a must have and it might even go to my “keep” pile after it is gone.

Be sure to get your order in by Friday to get this or any of the other Sale-A-Bration choices.

If you need to order you can Shop in my Store -> HERE OR contact me directly. I would love to help you.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

CORNER IN BLOOM LAVENDER CARD!

I was playing with the Corner in Bloom Stamp Set recently. I was wanting to colour the pretty lavender type flowers. I’m not exactly sure if they are lavender but we will go with that right. 🙂

I noticed in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue how the creator had coloured the sample and I thought I would try that. This is the card.

Here’s a closer look at the card. I used the Night of Navy Light Stampin’ Blends and the Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.

The card mat was embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder.

Both the Stamp Set and the Embossing Folder are available as Sale-A-Bration choices with your $100 order (AUD).

This is the Corner in Bloom Stamp Set.

Sale-A-Bration is not around for much longer so if you want to grab these great products as your bonus gifts then you need to get your order in very soon.

If you are in Australia and need supplies I would love to help you out. You can head to my store -> HERE Or Contact me directly.

Maybe you can use this idea from this card to colour your flowers when you are creating next.

Happy Creating,

Jenny

SWEET SATURDAY WITH HEART SHAPED DIES!

Sweet Saturday. Today it’s a cute little card – with leftovers.

Do you have “bits” leftover from another project. They just sit there for some time taunting you. Pull them out and see what you can create.

For this one I had some bits of the Toadstool Gardens Paper. I had a diecut heart from the Heart Shaped Dies along with the little flower. So it was all just the size to make a Mini Thank You card. This didn’t take long at all and I can send it out soon for a special Thank You to one of my customers.

The paper and the Heart Shaped Dies are available as Sale-A-Bration choices with your orders over the qualifying amount. ($100 AUD for the paper and $200 for the Heart Shaped Stamp Set and the Dies).

The words were diecut with one of the dies in the Mixed Labels Dies available as on Online Exclusives product.

So if you like these you will have to be quick to get them. It is only 2 weeks left for them.

If you need to order any of your crafty supplies and you are in Australia I would love to serve you. You can stop by my store OR Contact me directly. I would be happy to help you.

Happy Weekend,

SUNDAY SUITES – FRIENDS OF THE OCEAN SUITE

Back with Sunday Suites. We have Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection.

The ocean is my favourite place. This suite is different to your typical marine style stamps and dies I think.

The colours in the suite move away from the typical blues you might associate with the ocean. There is the bright pinks and oranges. I think it leans more to the sunrise and sunset colours perhaps?

The Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection includes:

  • The Ocean Friends Bundle
  • The Soft Waves Embossing Folder
  • Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper 12″x12″
  • Sunny Day Iridescent Dots 135 adhesive dots 5mm and 6mm. In Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Splash

Let’s look closer.

The Ocean Friends Bundle

This is a two-step stamp set making it easy to stamp the outline, stamp the inside image and diecut. You can choose to colour these too if you would like.

The Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper.

The colours in the paper are Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash.

The paper has the ocean creature images on one side and patterns on the other. So these papers can be used to create projects of other fun types. Great for those bright, cheery Birthday cards.

The Soft Waves Embossing Folder.

The folder measures 6″ x 6-1/4″ (15.2 x 15.9 cm) so it is a large one but that works great to get the wavy impression whether your card is portrait or landscape position.

I particularly love the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. It creates deep impressions to add extra texture. The curvy lines could be used on any project beyond water images.

Here are some project with this suite.

See the curvy texture you get with the folder. Here’s a tip: Add some inking on sections of the card to add extra colour.

What do you think? Are you loving the funky oranges and pinks or are you traditional blues for the ocean cards??

You can see more about this suite -> HERE.

HIDDEN GEMS – THANK YOU KINDLY KIT!

Each week I feature a “Hidden Gem”. With so many Online Exclusives happening they can sometimes be missed.

This week it is the Thank You Kindly Kit.

The Kit creates 8 cards and has envelopes included. Kit includes one of each item listed below.
– Pre-designed projects
– Step-by-step instructions
– 8 printed envelopes
– Adhesive
– Pre-cut paper with gold foil
– A 9-7/8″ x 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ (25.1 x 16.5 x 7 cm) printed box for storage or crafting on the go.

Now they may be a bit plain for you. Why not try sponging ink over the leaves? That would look pretty with these diecut leaves. You could make your own sentiments too if you didn’t want them as Thank You cards. Ooh! The possiblities…

This is newly released this month. Kits make super quick cards when you are in a hurry. You don’t have to thing about the design or cutting the “bits”.

You can see it -> HERE. If you want a kit do let me know.

Happy Crafting,

THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY BOOKBINDING CARD

Recently I shared a Book Binding Card with the cute Toadstool Gardens Paper. That was part of a Blog Hop I was in. Today I’m sharing another version along with the link to create your own.

This one is created with the Thoughtful Journey Paper. The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set and using the To The Point Label Punch.

This is the inside. I added a strip of the paper across the bottom.

The Bright Borders Stamp Set has some really versatile sentiments and I love the pretty bordered edges.

See it more -> HERE.

It is great to cut these sentiments with the punch too. See it more -> HERE.

Now let’s get back to the card.

BOOK BINDING CARD

I have made quite a few of these cards previously and have put together a video too.

You can see the original Blog Post with the measurements and including a video -> HERE.

I will add the video again below too.

I hope you get to make one.
