HUGS FROM SHELLI ALL IN A KIT!

Jenny Hayward

You might have heard the news already.  An exclusive Paper Pumpkin card kit has arrived in Australia.  We have been asking for Paper Pumpkin for some time.  This is not a subscription based Paper Pumpkin Kit like in the US but is an exclusive One-off kit.  If it is popular who knows …

Now to have Shelli, the Stampin’ Up! co-founder, to have her signature on this kit is pretty exciting.  And in Shelli’s usual style the projects have an earthy, vintage feel.  I think you will love it.

HUGS FROM SHELLI

The Shelli kit from Paper Pumpkin includes the following:

  • An exclusive stamp set not available anywhere else
  • One Classic Stampin’ Spot® from our Classic ink collection
  • Paper and crafting materials to create 12 cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs)
  • 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes
  • Adhesives and embellishments for all 12 cards

All you will need is a Clear Stamping Block (D).

One word of warning though:

These are only in limited supplies – and I mean limited.  So don’t think about whether you want it or not.  If you like it, grab it NOW.

It is now available in my store -> HERE  $37 AUS  Please use the Host Code: HQX47XHJ

Thank you for ordering with me.  Don’t forget – don’t mark your order anonymous in store or I won’t be able to send a Thank You out to you. 🙂

Have a great day,

Jenny

THE EVERYTHING IS ROSY MEDLEY WITH ROSE GOLD STREAKS!

Jenny Hayward

I have just received the Everything is Rosy suite of products.  Let me tell you it is more gorgeous in real life.  I shared the video unveiling it on my Facebook page the other day but maybe you would like to see it here.

This was my first play with it.  I have to say it is so easy to put cards together with all these products.  Stamp a few images or you can use the diecut images in the set and cut some of that gorgeous paper.  Yes cut it – don’t just stroke it and then store it away. 😉

For this card below I stamped the leaves and a flower and diecut them out with the lovely dies. I added one of the Rose Gold embellishments for the centre of the flower. They are sticky back so you just peel it off the sheet and stick it on.  It has a clear coating on the top so you need to peel that off too. The Thank You was stamped in the diecut banners that is included in the set.

Just to remind  you what you get in this bundle of products.  There is a lot!  Another demonstrator added it up and there was over $180 in value.  There is nothing like this paper.  Have I said that already?? 🙂

Purchase in my store now -> HERE. (Australian residents only). Please use the Host Code: HQX47XHJ

Once you place your order I will email you a Tutorial Bundle of 12 exclusive projects (these are not using the Everything is Rosy Medley) but just as a Thank You for your order.

You will also receive a roll of Rose Gold Metallic Thread Free which will work beautifully with this medley of products.

Thanks for your order and Thanks for stopping by,

Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #67 – USE THE LINE!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s come around quickly.  I have another Wednesday’s WOW! for you.  It was a recent revelation to me.  (OK, I am slow!).  This little tip might be a revelation to you too.  Although you are probably more cleverer than me. 😉

Wednesday’s WOW! #67 – Use the line on your Embossing Folder to keep your card straight.

Let me show you.

That black line on the Embossing Folder is not just a detail on the folder to go with the Logo. 🙂 It serves a purpose.  Use that line as a guide to see that your card is straight in the Embossing Folder.  The card might be longer than the line but you can still use that to see that the edge of the card is parallel with it.  These lines are on the more recent folders.

TIP: If you have some older folders that don’t have the line.  Draw one in with a ruler and black permanent marker.

On another note – when using folders you don’t want to position your card right up in to the top of the folder on the fold line.  You will get an edge on your card when you emboss it as the pattern doesn’t quite go right up to the top.

Hope that is helpful, or just confirming what you already knew.

Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #65 – EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR TRIMMER BLADES!

Jenny Hayward

I often have people telling me about problems when cutting with the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer.  The blades don’t seem to last long and they get furry edges when trimming. I have that problem too. Add to that now the Trimmer is being retired and there won’t be any more Trimmer blades available.

So I have a solution today for you for Wednesday’s WOW! #65 I think you will find very useful if you experience some of these problems.  How to extend the life of your blades to avoid those furry edges.  And also so you don’t have to replace your blade so quickly. 🙂

When you cut your card place a piece of scrap paper or copy paper in between the Trimmer and the card you are cutting.  You will get a crisper cut edge when you cut.  This will help you make those blades last longer before you have to replace them.

Of course you end up with shreds of paper but that’s ok.  Just recycle them.  I will say it can be tedious if you have to cut a lot of card but for a few quick cuts it is great. I have used this for some time now and I don’t have to replace my blades too frequently.

Hope this is helpful.  Share it around as it might help some of your cardmaking friends. 🙂

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #64 – EMBOSSED GEARS!

Jenny Hayward

For today’s Wednesday’s WOW! I have shared similar before – BUT I really like this technique.  I have used this on one of my recent makes with the Geared Up Garage Bundle and so I thought I would share the technique again with you.

For Wednesday’s WOW! #64 it’s all about embossing with you dies.  This is such a cool and different way to use your dies.

I have embossed the Real Red card with the large gears die in the Garage Gears Thinlits.  You can see on the card how it looks.  It’s really cool don’t you think?

I put together a chart to show you the layers to help you to emboss with your dies.  Then you can go on trying different dies to emboss with.

Have fun with it.

SPARK A LITTLE JOY WITH STORAGE BY STAMPIN’ UP!

Jenny Hayward

Decluttering and organising is THE thing at the moment.  No area in the house is safe.  Now you have simple, functional storage for your craft space whether you have a designated room or you work straight from a box.  Storage By Stampin’ Up! is now available.

These units are made of a lightweight, durable plastic material that is easy to assemble and can stack to fit in your own area whatever your size.

Watch this quick video -> HERE to see how they all work together. 

Here are the different units and prices.  You can see how functional these pieces are.  Units specifically designed for your inkpads, Stampin’ Blends, Markers, Ink Refills and other special pieces.

Get a closer look at these products in my store -> HERE.

I have attached a chart below to show some of the ways you can configure the units.

It is hard to read, so download and print out your own copy so you can use it to measure out your craft area.

Download the chart -> 04.01.19_STORAGE_BY_STAMPIN_UP_CONFIGURATION_SP

 

Below are some Q and A you might be asking yourself.

Will old-design Stampin’ Pads fit in the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays?
No. The Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays are designed to fit our new-design Stampin’ Pads only.

How high can I stack storage trays?
We stacked up to 50 storage trays without any issues, BUT we would not recommend stacking that high. While our Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are sturdy, the higher you stack them, the less stable they’ll become. Use your discretion when stacking.

Can I mount my Storage by Stampin’ Up! products on the wall?
No. Our modular storage products are designed to sit on a table (or similar flat surface).

How should I use the Open Storage Cube?
The Open Storage Cube can be used to hold any miscellaneous items like ribbon, embellishments and small punches. For more inspiration on ways to use items from our Storage by Stampin’ Up! product line, check out the configuration chart we created.

Can I mix and match Storage by Stampin’ Up! products?
Yes! Our Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are modular and designed with customisation in mind. Take a look at the flyer for more information on the size and dimensions of each item in our new modular storage product line.

How do the silicone feet work?
To protect your surface and prevent slipping, we’ve included peel-and-stick silicone feet with the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays, Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays and Open Storage Cube.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #62 – 5 WAYS WITH THE STORY LABEL PUNCH!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #62  If you have the Story Label Punch (or realise that you do need it 🙂 ), then check this out.  I want to show you 5 Ways to use the Story Label Punch.

The Story Label Punch is available now as a Sale-A-Bration Co-ordination product.  THIS ENDS ON SUNDAY!!! I don’t know if it will be carried over though.

Here are some different ways to use this punch.  Of course, you can stamp a sentiment, punch it out and add that to your card which is nice but what about some other ways.

1.Tie it – Punch a hole in one end and thread some ribbon or twine through OR wrap some Thread or Twine around one of the ends.

2. Layer it – Stamp a sentiment on a smaller shape, adhere that to another shape then layer them all together on the punched label. For this one I have used the Everyday Label Punch.

3. Add a Different Punch – Check out your other punches or dies to adhere them together to make a fun shape.

4. Cut it – stamp a sentiment on white and punch it out.  Then punch the label from another colour cardstock.  You can cut that label in half (either horizontally or vertically). Adhere this one behind your stamped label by just separating them slightly so you just see an edge of the coloured label.

5. Change it – Make it a different shape.  This is great for smaller sentiments that might look too big on the original punch shape.  Trim it with your Paper Trimmer by lining up the points of the curve in the Trimmer and cut off the edge.

Let me show you a card where I layered the punch.  This is actually a card we are making in class this Friday.  I have CASED it from Le Ann Greff ->HERE.  I loved the way the label was used on this card BUT also check the flowers.  This is from the Painted Blooms set.  I daubered the centre with Early Espresso ink like she did.  It gives it a different look.  I embossed my stamped white card piece with the Subtle Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

What other different ways could you try?

Now as I was playing around with these I realised that some of the images from the set Label Me Pretty fit well in to this punch shape.  I stamped one up to show you.  Well actually I took one of the images and coloured it with the Markers and then punched it out.  I really haven’t used this set very much in the years that I have had it.  And did you know there is actually little butterflies in this image?  I hadn’t even noticed.

In Australia? Grab your Story Label Punch in my store today before you miss out. Shop -> HERE.  Please use the Host Code: JQGFKFT9

This ends on Sunday (or while supplies last).  So don’t delay.
