STAMPIN’ UP! ONSTAGE SWAPS, SNEAKS AND WHERE AM I AT?

Jenny Hayward

You have probably heard a lot of talk of the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event last weekend. You might have even gone yourself at one of the event centres. I went to the Onstage in Sydney, Australia. It was awesome connecting with all my Stampin’ Up! Friends again rather than see them on a screen or on Social Media. It fills your cup. 🙂

I put together a Video Sharing the Swaps I receive. You could see photos of the Swaps. (And I will share them in the next post later) but showing them in the Video I can look more closely at the details and look at all that extra texture. I share some Sneak Peeks and news too. And What is happening in my World. Changes are coming! (I will add that further below too).

You can see that Video -> HERE (if it doesn’t show below)

Of course going to Onstage we receive a Swag of goodies including a Tote Bag, pens, notebook and other bits. Also some Prize Patrol and … Paper Pumpkin. More on that in another post too.

It’s taken a while and finally cracked the 200,000 CSV in Sales (equivalent to just over 300,000 AUD). I got to do a stage walk for that. Pretty exciting!

So, What’s happening in my World…

Changes are coming. I’m still not 100% sure how I will navigate it but it will work out I am sure. I mention briefly in the video but thought I would give more background.

I have been running Face to Face Classes for nearly all of the 18 years I have been a Demonstrator. It’s been wonderful meeting in person and sharing cardmaking.

We are moving. Soon, my studio, our large shed and our house is being demolished. (Quietly freaking out here now …). We are building a new house so will rent elsewhere during the build. With our rental house I will have a small craft room and when we return to our new house I will have a small craft room also. But the designated Studio will be gone. I still endeavour to hold classes though. You can still have fun around the Dining Table. While I’m renting it may be a little more difficult but I will try.

I’m planning to turn more frequently to Online. Maybe some more regular videos, maybe some Online Classes. What would you like to see more of?

It’s all fun and exciting, scary and overwhelming. But we will work some way to create together.

So I will leave you to watch the video. I will share more of the swaps and news in later posts.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY WITH A PATCHWORK CARD!

Jenny Hayward

Sweet Sunday with this fun Patchwork card idea. This one is created by Stampin’ Up! Artists with the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper. You could try with any pretty paper though.

Here’s How:

You would need to cut numerous white squares. Diecutting them with one of the small squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies give you that “stitched edge” look. For a card like this you would need 16 squares. Then diecut some squares with your patterned paper. Cut the squares diagonally. Then you can position the white squares over your card mat and place the cut paper squares in position to create the patchwork look. This card would work best with a Square style card.

Try this idea out for a card. And I would love to see it too if you like.

This paper is the Product of the Month that has been out this month. There is a new exclusive product each month.

You can purchase this True Blue Florals Paper for $9 when your order reaches $125. (AUD)

You can find more about the Product of the Month -> HERE.

If you need any supplies you can order at my store at that link above too.

STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCT OF THE MONTH IS HERE~

(Check your market for your own value amount).

✨ Product of the Month is brand-new Exclusive product releases near the start of each month.
✨ There wil be a different product each month.
✨ You must have a Stampin’ Up!® online account to participate.

✨ If you order one month and you missed a previous month Product of the Month you can have the opportunity to choose that product option instead if there are supplies available.

December Product of the Month has just been released. This is the gorgeous True Blue Florals 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper.

What do you think??

Here are some projects with this paper. I will be back later to share more with you.

With this one below the lined flowers were fussy cut from one of the papers. It looks so great. The other smaller flowers were cut from another pattern and the centres coloured in yellow.

Use your paper as the card base as a different option.

This one below uses 3 patterns from the paper. And those lovely flowers from the Pretty Florals Bundle but you could use any stamps/dies.

That about a patchwork design. It’s a great way of showing off the different patterns. For this one diecut a number of squares. Having the “dotted” edge from the Stylish Shapes gives a good effect but you could cut your squares with a Paper Trimmer. With the paper squares and some of the white square cut them in half diagonally. I would suggest then laying the pieces out in your patchwork look pattern before you adhere them down. And a TIP: maybe cut a piece of card the same size as your finished piece and adhere the white triangles and paper triangles directly to them to make it easier.

Don’t miss out on your Product of the Month this month. But remember these are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

NEW STAMPIN’ UP! PACKAGING REVIEW + VIDEO

Jenny Hayward

You might have heard the Stampin’ Up! packaging for the stamps and dies are changing. I have just received my first order with the new packaging so I thought I would put together a review so you can see it.

The video is on my Youtube now or you can see it below.

I would love to hear your thoughts and especially how you will store your stamps and dies now.

On a side note: If you prefer the clear DVD cases for your stamps you are able to purchase additional cases to convert your stamps. Or you can purchase additional clear envelopes to store them that way (starting in November).

Adding this Thumb Image below so you can PIN it to come back to.

FRAMED PRETTY FLORALS CARD – SAME BUT DIFFERENT!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Pretty Florals Bundle. I have shared some different ones already. These 2 cards are very similar. There are just some variations.

They have the same paper, the Florals in Bloom Paper, and I have created the black frames to really highlight the flowers. You might be able to tell the differences though.

The one with the Fresh Freesia flowers is using the larger diecut flower and the outline edge. I sponged over a little Fresh Freesia ink to add some extra definition. This one is on a Fresh Freesia Card Base. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set and diecut with the Mixed Labels Dies. We made this one in our class last week using the Pretty Florals Bundle.

The other one is with the small pink flowers. The flowers are in Pretty In Pink and the little edges, (Not sure what you would call them) are in the Strawberry Slush. This one has a Pretty In Pink Card Base. The sentiment on this one is from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set I think.

So which one do you prefer?

This is a great bundle. I have had a lot of fun creating with it.

Jenny Hayward

New cool crafty products are out today. The 2025 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue is now Live and ready for you.

I have been playing a little with lots of fun new things.

This is just one of them.

These Pretty Florals Dies are – well pretty. 😀

They are part of the Pretty Florals Bundle with the Stamps and Dies. The paper is The Florals in Bloom Paper. There is gorgeous flower prints. For this card I chose the subtle pattern so as not to clash with the flowers.

And you can’t see the full shine on the side of the card but that is from the Flower Garden Foils Specialty Paper.

Here is the Florals in Bloom Paper.

This is the Pretty Florals Bundle. I particularly like the dies to layer together.

You can see the full Suite including the papers -> HERE. You can get each item individually too.

I will be back soon sharing more of the fun new products and projects soon so be sure to check back.

If you haven’t checked out the full catalogue yet you can see it online now -> HERE.

FRONT FLAP CARD WITH A SURPRISE + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

Today’s card is a cool Fun Fold. It is a Front Flap Card. It has an added flap that you could add a surprise inside.

This card was shared to me by a Demonstrator friend Linny. I loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

Here is the card.

Lift up the Flap.

Open the card.

Under the flap would be a great to add a Numbered birthday perhaps or even add a pocked for a Gift Card.

I have a video for you to follow along.

I used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. Also the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. It makes a special Christmas card to send. This could be used for so many different occasions though.

I share another one version at the end of the video so be sure to check out that one.

Follow along and I hope you get to make one.

A SIMPLE LOVELIEST TREE BIRTHDAY CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Loveliest Tree Bundle recently. This is one of the cards we made at our Loveliest Tree class last month.

I went simple on this card. Embossing the white card with the Metal Place Embossing Folder gives it added texture.

The paper is from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper.

This Loveliest Tree stamp set is very similar to the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set from years back. But this one has dies! Which is so good.

This is the Loveliest Tree Bundle.

You can see more of it in my store -> HERE.

A STOCKING SENDING CHEER CHRISTMAS CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have had so much fun with the Sending Cheer Bundle. It is such a great bundle of stamps and dies.

With this one I have used the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. The holly type print and the red Gingham print. They work so well with it.

And notice the stocking – when you diecut the stocking top run it through an Embossing Folder for added texture. I used one of the Basics Embossing Folders.

The Sending Cheer stamps and dies are leaving. I am a bit sad about that. Also the paper is going too. So if you want them you best get yourself together and grab them before they leave.

STAMPIN’ UP! TRANSLUCENT FLORALS!

Jenny Hayward

I have a new favourite. Yes indeed!

If you have followed me along for a while you may know that I am not big on colouring. I find it hard and I know I need to work on it BUT when there is a stamp set that I don’t have to colour I’m all over it. 🙂

I love the new Translucent Florals Bundle that is in the upcoming Mini Catalogue starting on September 6th.

With the stamps you get colour gradients just by stamping. No need for colouring. And there are some really lovely, versatile sentiments in the set.

I have been playing with it a bit these past few days and I will show you more but for today this is one of the cards I have created with it.

There is the stamp set and the co-ordinating dies for it.

What do you think? Is this your type of stamp set??

You will be able to see it in the new Mini when it comes out on Wednesday. And if you are in Australia and haven’t got a Mini Catalogue yet then drop me a comment or email to request one and I can get one out in the mail to you.

If you need to order supplies and especially grab some of the great products coming in the Mini Catalogue then I would love to help you.
