PAINTED POPPIES FOR A CHALLENGE!

Jenny Hayward

Over the last week I encouraged members in my Facebook group to create a card. Each day I posted an element for a card with the card measurements and other pieces. By the end of the week they could create their card and share it with the group.

It was a fun activity and I was so excited to see people share that wouldn’t normally share in the group.

This was my card I created. I actually made this Saturday week ago in Anzac Day but I couldn’t share this until now.

I have used the Painted Poppies Stamp set. The poppy is coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is from Positive Thoughts.

You can join my Facebook group wherever you are. Drop me a comment or email and I can add you.

Have a happy day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #100 – USING YOUR DIECUTS AS STENCILS – AND A GIVEAWAY!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #100.  Woo Hoo! Who would have thought a couple of  years ago when I started this series that I would have 100 tips, techniques, product videos to share with you.  Number 100 is pretty amazing.  I think. 🙂

Today I have a special technique for you.  And to celebrate 100 WOW’s I thought it would be time for a Giveaway.  Check below after you see the fun technique.

For our Wednesday’s WOW! #100 I wanted to share a cool technique of using your Diecuts to create stencils.   It’s not a new technique BUT might not be one you think about readily.

I was inspired of this idea when I saw a project on a Demonstrator Facebook group I am on and I’m sorry I can’t remember the Demonstrators name.

I have used the Ornate Borders Dies and the Ornate Frames Dies to create these particular cards but you could use any detailed dies.

For this first card I have used the decorative flower border die from the Ornate Frames Dies.  Diecut this on a piece of white card.  Then use this card piece as a stencil to colour on to a different white card strip.

So for this one below you may not be able to see it but I have the other white card strip which is the same size as the diecut strip, so I could line them up and be sure it was straight.

I have used the Watercolor Pencils but not used them with the Aquapainter.  You could use Stampin’ Blends or a Blender Pen and inkpads.

This was the finished coloured strip.

To finish the card I used some of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  The Twine is from the Nature’s Twine set.  It is Grapefruit Grove but I think it worked OK with the Calypso Coral on the card.

The vellum “leafy” spray and the bird is from the Well Written Dies.

On this next card I used the dies in a different way.  I diecut the “flourish” type die in the Ornate Frames Dies from white card and then used that as a stencil to heat emboss.

To do this line up the diecut strip on your white card mat.  Press the Versamark ink over the diecut being careful not getting Versamark above the strip on to your main card.  You can add some scrap paper to mask it to protect the card if you like.

After using the Versamark, remove your stencil strip.  Sprinkle over Silver Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.  You have a nice shiny image.

Below is the finished card in more detail.

For the finished card I used the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.  The Hello Fabulous from the Dressed To Impress stamp set and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The Mint Macaron piece is also diecut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and embossed with the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder.

PAPER ADVENTURES TEAM BLOG HOP – APRIL 2020!

Jenny Hayward

I’m so honoured to be hopping along as a Guest with Kelly Kent and the Paper Adventures Team today.  Such a creative group of people. 🙂

The Blog Hop this month is a colour Theme with Pretty Peacock, Whisper White and Melon Mambo.  I love both these colours but have to say haven’t used these colours together.  So I wasn’t sure what I would do with them.

This is the card I have created.  I think we are all dreaming of a tropical paradise right now. 🙂

I have used the Timeless Tropical Bundle for this card.  The card was based on a recent Fab Friday sketch #187.

The frangipani flowers are stamped in Memento Black Ink on to Shimmery White card.  I took the liberty to use this card for the watercolouring. 🙂  The flowers were coloured with the ink pad and the Aquapainter.

The Pretty Peacock card piece was cut with one of the Stitched Nested Dies and then embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

When I was assembling the card I felt the white card was a bit plain.   I lightly swiped over some ink with the Aquapainter and Melon Mambo Ink.  I would suggest you use the Shimmery White for this or even Watercolour paper.  The Whisper White “pills” up a bit.  It was risky but I thought I might be stretching it to use the Shimmery White for that.  It turned out ok but then it is partly covered. 🙂

Now continue on your Blog Hop.  You are off to Siobhan’s blog -> HERE or click on the NEXT button below.

Thanks for hopping with me and the Paper Adventures Team.

ORNATE POPPY THANK YOU CARD!

Jenny Hayward

Playing with the Ornate Garden products last week. I teamed them with the Poppy Moments Dies.

I had a piece of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper left over so adhered that on the card base.

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks set was stamped in black on white card that had been diecut with one of the Ornate Layers Dies.  Then stamping the “my friend” on Blushing Bride card to punch out with the Classic Label Punch.

The poppies were created using the Poppy Moments Dies and layered on the card.

See the Gold Gem?? Some new bling is available in the Ornate Garden Suite of products.  Gotta love gold shiny bling.

The Ornate Garden products are now available in store.  See them now -> HERE.

Have a great week ahead,

Jenny

TAGS IN BLOOM THANKS!

Jenny Hayward

I have been making some simple Customer Thank You cards with the Tags In Bloom stamp set and some scraps of pretty patterned paper.  I made a few of each type.  It’s a great way to use those little pieces up.

On these cards above I used the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-Bration.  for the one on the left and for the larger card below.  The card on the right above was using the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

With the Tags In Bloom set you have the “solid” style of stamps that you can use to infill the lined flower images.  You can colour them with your Stampin’ Blends too if you would rather.  I love that with this set that the sentiment section can be punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch.  There is also the Label Me Fancy Punch that would punch the other sentiments out.  These cards are 10cm x 10cm (4″x4″) in size.

On the cards I made like the one above they were the standard card size.  I had some white card cut with the rectangle from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies.  The sentiment piece from the Tags in Bloom was stamped on the white card and again stamped on scrap white and punched out.

Simple and quick cards.  That’s what you need in a hurry.

I hope you are getting lots of creating done in these times.

Keep safe and well.

Jenny
