For one of our cards in our “Beauty Class” last week we played with the Spotlighting technique with the Layers of Beauty.
To create the Spotlighting Technique, firstly stamp the large flower and diecut a circle out in an area on the flower. The Stylish Shapes dies were used for that. Instead of using the masks to colour the flowers on the diecut circle we coloured them with the Stampin’ Blends.
Colouring the background area with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends helps to make the flowers POP. Adding a black circle mat behind the coloured circle part helps to make it POP too.
During the class while others were working on their projects I created a different version of the card by turning the card the other way.
This one has added sparkle too with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper.
Here is a close-up of the Spotlight area.
What do you think? Maybe try the Spotlighting Technique yourself.
The Layers of Beauty is a lovely bundle. For this one I have only used the Stamps which work so well in themselves.
You can see the full bundle in my store -> HERE. BONUS – They are 10% off this month which is awesome!
If you are in Australia you can shop for them directly there if you would like to add them to your crafty supplies. OR Contact me and I can help you out.

I don’t have a Green Thumb. I love plants. I admire them BUT I forget to water them and I don’t know all the nutrients they need. I do like this Planted Paradise stamp set though. I can create cards with lovely potted plants and not worry about killing them.
This card was one I made for a class last week. It was a ‘Thoughts of You’ Class. It’s nice to send out Thinking of You cards to let others know you care.
The paper is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper pack.
It’s a simple card. Having the loop of ribbon between the white circle and the Copper Clay Circle. It just adds a little variation. Ribbon is great for added texture too. The white card is embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folder packs.
If you are local why not come and join us at class sometime. We would love to have you along. Look out for upcoming classes or contact me and I can let you know. Most of my classes are available By Mail option too and you can make them at home in your own time.

Jenny

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.
