CUTE DEER WITH THE REINDEER FUN FOR WEEK 3 OF 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS

It’s Week 3 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series.

This card is using the Reindeer Fun Stamps and Dies which are just the cutest. The card shows a great way of using different papers together too. I used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.

This is the card.

You can follow along with the video.

You can PIN this image now to come back to later for your creating.

The tutorial to create the card will be sent out in next week’s newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed yet to my newsletter you can find the link in the right hand column on my blog.

In the video I showed a template for variations in colour with the deer head. I have that below so you can refer back to it later.

They can look so different using different colours. Don’t forget the Red Glimmer for a Rudolph nose.

Enjoy Week 3. Be sure to check back again soon. If you have missed the last 2 then head back some posts on my blog to catch them.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE MUSICAL JAMBOREE STAMP SET!

It’s a cute sing, song with the Muscial Jamboree Stamp Set for Sweet Sunday.

Isn’t this character having such a great time singing his heart out??

Stampin' Up! Musical Jamboree Stamp Set

(Card created by Stampin’ Up! artists)

On the circle diecut with one from the Spotlight in Nature dies the image was stamped and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The clouds were first cut from the Hot Air Balloon Dies and then placed on the circle creating a mask. Then brush over the sky with some ink with the Blending Brushes.

On the Timber 3D Embossing Folder ink was swiped over the inside of the folder. You can swipe over with the Ink Pad or use the Brayer with ink. Then add your Balmy Blue card mat and run it through the machine. This adds an extra dimension to you card and highlights the embossed detail.

So enjoy a little sing along with this cutie for our Sweet Sunday. Have a great week ahead. I hope you escape to your craft space this week.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

NEW FROSTED FOREST FROM STAMPIN’ UP!

New products are arriving Online from tomorrow (July 3rd). I will bring you more news about those later but today I wanted to show you a card I made recently with one of these new bundles. This is with the Frosted Forest Bundle.

The Frosted Forest Bundle comes with a stamp set, dies and masks. The stamp set has a number of different trees, great for any occasion. The masks have 2-3 masks for each tree so you can layer the colours on the image. I like that because I’m not a huge fan of colouring.

I will show you the bundle more later but for now I couldn’t wait to share the card. I used Pecan Pie for the trunk and Old Olive for the tree. Using the different layers added to the depth of the tree branches.

With the sentiment I added a sticky note over the full sentiment and just showed the Thinking of You on a small strip of Crushed Curry. Then I snipped the sentiment in half to separate it for the card.

Watch out from tomorrow for more products released as part of the Online Exclusives. There are a number of products for different occasions including Christmas. Great if you are planning some Christmas in July creating. Or to get started for your Christmas cards now. So check back soon.

If you love any of the Stampin’ Up! products and you are in Australia I would love you to stop by my store -> HERE. You can order Online. Please use the Host Code: JTRANKN3

Two Tone flora with Blended background

FAREWELL TWO-TONE FLORA!

We say Farewell today to the Two-Tone Flora Stamps and Dies. I have LOVED these ones. Yes another 2-step stamp set. Maybe that’s way. But the colouring you can get with these stamps are so lovely. And the dies… Well what about they detailed background die. So gorgeous and delicate.

Let’s see some past projects.

This one below a piece of white card was blended with Gorgeous Grape ink with it darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. Then the detailed Diecut was added over the top. It creates a soft, subtle background.

Two Tone flora with Blended background

On this one below I diecut the detailed die and then added it to the back of a rectangle diecut frame. Any overhanging edges of the detailed diecut was trimmed off.

Simple flowers and leaves with the white card diecut with one of the Elegant Borders Dies. These border dies are available as an Online Exclusives set and can often be missed. There are 4 in the set and each one is lovely.

Both the Two Tone Flora Stamp Set and the Dies are reduced at 50% off. Crazy!

The Two-Tone Flora Stamps are reduced to $20.50. See them -> HERE.

The Two-Tone Flora Dies are reduced to $34.00. See them -> HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #160 – USING THE TAKE YOUR PICK TOOL!

Do you love the Take Your Pick Tool? It’s like a Swiss army knife for crafters. 🙂

Wednesday’s WOW! #160 – Let’s look at just some of the features of the Take Your Pick Tool.

About the Take Your Pick Tool:

  • It is a Multipurpose Pickup and Precision tool simplifies some of the fiddly crafting tasks.
  • The Tacky Putty end easily picks up sequins, paper accents, and other small objects; twist to dispense more putty. There is also a Putty Refill that you can replace on the tool when you run out. AND TIP: Don’t sit there fiddling and twisting the end when you are not noticing. Ask me how I know …
  • The other end has 2 changeable, double-ended tips with paper piercer, mini spatula, small stylus, and large stylus. See I said it was a the Swiss Army Knife.

Here is the Take Your PickTool plus the extra Attachments.

There is the Take Your Pick Die Brush attachment. This will help remove those tiny little diecuts from the dies when diecutting.

There is also the Take Your Pick Crafter Tips. These tips include:

  • The Hobby Blade for precision cutting.
  • A Double-Ended Pick Tip for piercing or removing pieces from intricate die cuts.
  • And a Rotary Perforating Tip for cutting perforated patterns. 

These tips fit onto the Take Your Pick Tool to give you even more crafting tools to work with! Simply remove a tip from the tool and insert a different tip for the task you need. 

What a versatile Tool! It certainly makes some of those crafting tasks that much easier.

See it in action.

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

If you need assistance you can contact me directly if you are in Australia. Or shop in my store at the above link.

Happy Wednesday crafting,

Jenny
