Simple stamping – A Stamping Journey

Another play with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day set. This time I went simple. No colouring just stamp and add it to a card.

To dress it up a little I added some texture by Embossing the Peach Pie card mat with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. And adding some of the gorgeous Floral Charm Designer Series Paper.

Don’t feel you have to colour every image you have. Sometimes just some simple stamping is good.

This is the Charming Day Bundle.

And more of that beautiful Floral Charm Paper.

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE IN GREENS!

May 6, 2024May 6, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Another Spotlight on Nature card for you. This is one of the cards we created at our Extra Stamping event at Onstage back in March.

It is created with 2 of the new In Colors too. The Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash. The other green is Granny Apple Green. I do love the stamping of the leaves on the background green.

Now I do love green. It is my favourite colour BUT I needed to add an extra white card piece between some green. It was all getting lost. I think that makes it POP a little more.

For the stamped flowers position the two Granny Apple Green pieces how you would like them and then stamp the flower on both pieces at the same time while they are together. It is so much easier than trying to line it up and getting the angles of the card right.

I love with this set that you can keep it simple or step it up. It is so versatile – and so lovely!

Have you seen the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set? It comes as a Bundle with the great circle dies or you can buy each of them separately. But just remember you save 10% by getting them as a bundle.

I do hope this is one on your list though. It really is pretty.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

EVERLASTING BEAUTY WITH AN EASY BACKGROUND!

August 22, 2023August 22, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This is an easy card when you don’t want to fuss with colouring or creating backgrounds. I shared how to on my Instagram Reel last week if you caught it there.

You can use your Patterned paper. This one uses the Hello Irresistible Paper. It is a really cool effect. The flower from Everlasting Beauty is stamped in black. It comes together quickly.

The white card is embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles Stamp set and cut with the co-ordinating dies. I have used a little Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon under.

Why not try that idea yourself. Grab some patterned paper and create.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

A SIMPLE CHRISTMAS CARD WITH STAMPIN’ UP! COTTAGE WREATH.

October 17, 2022October 17, 2022 Jenny Hayward

On Saturday I was at the local Doll, Bear and Craft Show. While there was a lot of doll and bear lovers I spoke to a number of crafty people. It’s always great chatting with others.

I had a card for everyone to make if they wished to join me. I thought I would share the card with you. This one is using the Cottage Wreath Stamps and Dies.

I love with the wreath stamp you get those colour variations. There was a version with Garden Green colour too. On that one we stamped the leaf on the background of the card. Also some flipped the paper over and had the lovely red print for the Garden Green base card. That looked really great too.

This Cottage Wreath Stamp Set is suitable for different occasions whether it’s Christmas, Halloween, Thanks. The Country Wreaths Dies have varying wreath dies which look great layered together.

Would you like this bundle in your collection?

MINI MOSSY MAGNOLIA CARD!

August 30, 2019August 30, 2019 Jenny Hayward

You have probably seen a lot of Magnolia cards around the internet. It’s quite a popular one and rightly so. This Good Morning Magnolia bundle is very gorgeous. But have you noticed the smaller version – the Magnolia Blooms set? It is a very gorgeous little sister. I have been playing with this set a bit recently.

I wanted to show you this Mini card we made last weekend. I was at a Craft Show last weekend and this was the Make and Take card that everyone got to make that stopped by my stand. It is a simple card with little stamping but very effective I think.

This mini card is about 10cm x 10cm (3″x 3″). Each layer is 4mm (1/8″) smaller in size.

Being a quick card I didn’t want people to be colouring the flowers in. There wasn’t time for that and for beginner’s that can be challenging. The small magnolia flower was stamped on the Petal Pink card mat in Mossy Meadow twice on the left hand edge. Reinking the stamp each time before stamping. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink.

The paper strip is from the Good Morning Magnolia Designer Series Paper Stack. It was all adhered together and of course – add some bling. 🙂

Simple but sweet.

The Magnolia Blooms set is not found in the Annual Catalogue. It can be found in the smaller Experience Creativity brochure which is aimed for new stampers. It’s a great little stamp set and what else is great?? The price. $24. How awesome is that!

You can find this set in my store though too. Find it -> HERE and add it to your collection. Please use the Host Code: 6F6336UW

You won’t be sorry. It has a lovely simple flower and a smaller bud and the little leaf. What I also love is the sentiments. These are such useful sentiments for lots of different occasions. I hope you grab it. I will share more with it over the next days and weeks.

Thanks for visiting,

SIMPLE AND AVID DAISY LANE!

June 28, 2019June 27, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I wasn’t sure about these cards and I’m still not but you know I am showing you anyway because sometimes things don’t always go right.

For these 2 cards I wanted to use the Daisy Lane to make a card for #simplestamping which is a big focus of Stampin’ Up! at the moment but then step it up a little for a Casual or avid stamper.

Firstly to define the two. Simple stamping is for those just starting out with limited supplies and putting together a card with card, ink and stamps.

A Casual stamper is one who likes to make a card semi-regularly you might stay. They are starting to collect a few more supplies and is using more involved steps and techniques.

An Avid Stamper who is one that you could say is “obsessed”. They collect all the tools and stamps and will create very regularly.

Who do you say you would be??

We have a card more for the simple stamping first.

This card is not quite one layer. There is the Rich Razzleberry card base and Petal Pink card mat. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Day stamp set with the little flourish from A Big Thank You. So there is more than one stamp set that you would normally use on a simple card for someone who has very limited supplies.

We have the next one which is for the Casual/Avid stamper.

This one has a couple of more layers. Using the same stamp sets though. Adding the extra elements gives it a little more detail.

I hope you like them. As I said I am still not sure about them and the lighting is not great but there they are for you.

Have a great day,

Jenny

FLIRTY DAISIES!

June 24, 2019June 24, 2019 Jenny Hayward

This week I am sharing some Daisy cards with you using the Daisy Lane Bundle.

I am sharing this card with you first. I am not sure about it still but, well … I am still putting it out here as it may inspire someone – in some way.

We are just keeping it simple with this one with a little stamping of the daisies in Flirty Flamingo and Rich Razzleberry.
