SOFTLY SOPHISTICATED MINI TAGS!

February 20, 2024February 20, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Last week I had my Summer Craftastic event. Lots of fun and crafting and chatting.

I will share the projects we made in another post but today I thought I would show you the cute Mini Tag I made for all the guests to go on their gifts they received for coming.

These were so quick and simple to make – especially when I was on a time crunch!

I used the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. I love how the flowers and leaves are separate so you can stamp the flowers in different colours without trying to colour the stamps.

The white tag was cut with one of the smaller sized Perennial Postage Dies. I punched a hole in the top of them and tied through some of the Natural Wavy Trim and tied off with Linen Thread.

Don’t miss the sweet little birds. They are from the Dragonflies and Birds Embellishments available only online. Often they get missed being an Online Exclusive. They add an elegant touch to your projects.

The Softly Sophisticated stamp set is a Sale-A-Bration choice as a Bundle with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. They are a great addition to your crafting supplies. I think they are so versatile – and lovely.

The Bundle can be chosen with orders over $180 AUD.

But it’s only around for just over 1 week. How time does fly! So I don’t want you missing out if you would like them.

If you are in Australia and “need” these or any other supplies I would love to serve you.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #159 – CREATE AN OMBRE BACKGROUND

February 14, 2024February 13, 2024 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #159 – An Ombre Background.

Add an extra addition to your next project with an Ombre background – with texture. Try this out.

Emboss your card mat with an embossing folder.

Using a Blending Brush or Brayer sponge over some ink in the same colour as your card. Starting darker towards the bottom and lighten as you work up the card. This creates a subtle variation in colour and is such a great effect.

See how it is done here.

Here’s a card showing this idea.

This one uses the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. The Embossing Folder is the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder.

They come as a bundle for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $180.

Hope you can try this idea out on your next project.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SOFTLY SOPHISTICATED IN CRUMB CAKE!

February 12, 2024February 12, 2024 Jenny Hayward

I like this Softly Sophisticated stamp set.

I like that the stamps for the flowers and leaves are separate so you can create different colours without using markers to add to the stamps. Especially being a photopolymer stamp set. They don’t work so well on those stamps.

I stamped them on scrap paper to get a feel for them first. Then I created this card with it.

The background is embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. The paper is the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.

The stamps and folder come as a bundle for Sale-A-Bration with your qualifying orders of $180 AUD.

It’s not much longer for Sale-A-Bration. How quickly the time flies!

Make sure you stock up on your card and ink and favourite stamps or dies now. Then you can pick up any of other bonus gifts for Sale-A-Bration. There are so many choices as well as some select Catalogue choices too.
