So, let’s begin!
You may have just come from Angie’s blog or you might be starting here. Either way, enjoy your travels – and I hope you are inspired. Don’t forget to leave a comment at the end to say you have visited.
Today I want to show you one of the new stamp sets ‘Wishing You’. This is on Page 23 of the Holiday Catalogue.
When you are looking for inspiration to create your projects you can spend hours trawling the internet (pinterest perhaps???!!!!!!). Don’t forget the Catalogues for ideas. They have some fantastic simple projects for you to Copy. For this one I have CASED from page 9 of the Holiday Catalogue. I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper (page 23) and the lovely Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edged Grosgrain Ribbon (page 22). The little parcels I coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers. Being a clear- mount set I could easily see where to place them. Maybe I should have got the Stamp-A-ma-jig out BUT I was lazy!!
This next card was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers. (Another great source of inspiraton!).
For this one I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper again. I have stamped the gifts and the greeting on Whisper White card and layered this on Silver Glimmer Paper for some sparkle. You have to have that, don’t you! I added a bow again using the Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon. This one is very quick to make. As long as it doesn’t take several attempts at making a half-decent bow. How do I know that? I think it took me as long to make the bow as it did to make the card.
Now the great thing with this set is it is very versatile. I like to show how you can use your Christmas sets for other occasions. You can pull this set out for Birthdays throughout the year.
This card was inspired by a card on Page 3 of the Annual Catalogue. For this I have used the ‘I Am Me’ Designer Series Paper. The gifts were coloured with Pear Pizzazz and Tangerine Tango Markers. The piece was layered under a Tangerine Tango frame cut with the Squares Collection Framelits. The greeting is from ‘Remembering your Birthday’. The card was finished off with a clip from the Essentials Hardware (page 170).
Now you can head off to the next blog on your journey. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will visit me again soon. Now you can see what fabulous creations Jenny Humphreys has made for you.
See you next time,
Jenny
This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. This is using Mosaic Madness, Papillion Potpourri and the greeting is from Remembering your Birthday. The funny thing is I would never have thought to use Summer Starfruit and Marina Mist together and when I have just gone back to the original photo now I see she didn’t use those colours. I think she used Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding. (OK, it was a small picture and I was going by memory!) I quite like this colour combination I used though. I will store that away for future reference!!
Have yourself a great weekend. The weather is turning out really nice again here. I think I can handle this ‘Winter’ weather we are having at the moment as long as the wind stays away.
Stop by again soon,

Today I held my Catalogue Showcase and I just had to stop by and show you what we made. It was a fun time and I was so grateful that so many came out despite the constant rain we have had for a week now!!
There are so many gorgeous new products but I had to use the set ‘Wildflower Meadow’. It is a beautiful stamp and to have a matching Embossing Folder is fantastic! Of course we used the new In Colors too. Here is the card. It is very simple but having the embossing just adds that little texture to it with very little effort. It is a bit hard to tell in the photo though. I have used Crisp Cantaloupe here but everyone could choose the colour they liked to. The greeting is from ‘Sketched Birthday’ and stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. Don’t you just love the names!! I have cut it out with the Itty Bitty Banners die and layered on a Baked Brown Sugar piece underneath. A little linen thread bow finished it off.
For everyone that came I covered little notebooks. They can use them for their wishlists perhaps??? Or anything really!
I had 2 different designs. They were all covered with card that had been run through with the Mosaic Embossing Folder. One design had a strip of DSP. I then punched a 1 1/4″ scallop circle and layered a butterfly with the Elegant Butterfly punched with matching DSP and then a Bitty Butterfly punched with coordinating card. Some Rhinestones finished them off. The other one I simply cut a dress from the Dress Up die in DSP and then dressed it up with a punched flower and pearls. I think everyone liked them.
I have made some other cards using the ‘Wildflower Meadow’ stamp that I will show you soon.
I hope you are dry where you are? I am looking forward to some sunshine to dry everything out.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jenny
