STAMPIN’ UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE FOR CHRISTMAS ~

Jenny Hayward

I made this weeks ago but just remembering to share with you now.

This one is with the Rustic Centerpiece Stamp Set. It’s a set with images that can be used for different occasions through the year.

I like the rustic deer and tree on this one. I coloured it with the Watercolor Pencils. I find them easier to control rather than the Stampin’ Blends or Watercolouring especially when there are finer details.

The sentiment is from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set. The paper is with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. It works well for Christmas too.

This is the Rustic Centerpiece Stamp Set.

See it more -> HERE.

I realised I haven’t shared the other cards I have made with this set too. I shared them on my Facebook but missed it here. SO… I will be back soon with those projects.

Crafting time is a little sparse at the moment but I hope to be back soon with some more creating. Especially as we start getting in to the busy Christmas season.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS SUITE!

Jenny Hayward

Sunday Suites with the Traditions of Christmas Suite. If you love the classic red and greens for Christmas and the Holly and Poinsettias then you will love this.

The Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection includes:

  • Traditional Labels Bundle
  • Christmas Greenery Bundle
  • Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Real Red 1/2″ (1.3cm) Shiny Ribbon 10 Yards (9.1m)
  • Traditional Sparkling Sequins 240 adhesive-backed pieces 60mm each of 4 colours. 4mm, 5mm, 6mm.

The Traditional Labels Bundle contains individual sentiments that can be used together or by themselves and not just for Christmas so it is a versatile one. But I do like the Dies set with this one with the different shape dies.

The Christmas Greenery Bundle contains the poinsettia and greenery stamps and has coordinating dies to diecut the images plus a number of different shaped leaves to create Christmas floral arrangements.

The Traditions of Christmas Specialty Paper has touches of Gold through it which is really striking. It has the classic Christmas flowers and leaves like the Poinsettias and Holly. The paper is 12″x12″ with colours of Cherry Cobbler, gold, Old Olive, Pool Party, Real Red, Secret Sea.

The Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder. Note this Embossing Folder is very large. It is 6″ x 6-1/4″ (15.2 x 15.9 cm). So bigger than your standard Card Size you would just have a touch of texture on it. It is pretty though with lots of detail.

The Real Red Shiny Ribbon is very shimmery which really adds a delicate, soft touch to cards and gift packaging. In addition there is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

Here are some samples with these gorgeous products.

Are you a Classic Red and Green with the traditional flowers and foliage. This will be for you. See it more -> HERE.

A SANDMAN WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! FESTIVE FRIENDS BUNDLE ~

Jenny Hayward

I couldn’t resist. I recently got the Festive Friends Bundle. They are cute characters in this one BUT for our Hot Christmas time in Australia with many heading to the beach I couldn’t help but make the snowman a Sandman.

I remember so many times at the beach when I was young creating big mounds of sand and decorating it with seaweed for hair and added sticks and shells. And at Christmas time you did add a Santa Hat. Such fun memories.

So the Festive Friends snowman became a Sandman. Not too many shells or seaweed on this one but still all dressed up for Christmas.

The Sandman was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and the shells were from the Notes and Totes Dies set. The paper worked well with it. This was from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper pack.

I had a lot of fun colouring this character. I have created with the other characters too so I will get back to you soon on those ones.

This is the Festive Friends Bundle. It has some fun little additional elements too with the trees and snowflakes and a tag shape. See it more -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! TWO-TONE SUNFLOWERS ~

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and experimenting with the Two-Tone cardstock. So I put them together.

Here are 2 cards that I created. Some nice sunshine-y yellow to brighten your day.

For this one below I cut a piece of the Daffodil Delight Two-Tone Cardstock just slightly smaller than the front of the card. Then I cut the piece in half and flipped one half. I put the pieces together in the Embossing Folder and embossed them. I lightly sanded the embossed cardstock to reveal the white. I adhered them to the front of a white Card Base and added a simple sentiment.

We made this card recently in my local class playing with the Two-Tone Cardstock. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in our classes each month. Contact me to find out more about them.

On this one below I cut a piece of the Two-Tone Daffodil Delight and embossed that. I lightly sanded the piece and added it to a white card Base. The sentiment heat embossed in white on black card and the Granny Apple Green leaf gives a ‘POP’ to the card.

You could do this in many other colours too. Hope you get to try it out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

JUST A CIRCLE WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! EMBOSSING FOLDER ~

Jenny Hayward

The details in the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is amazing! I have had a lot of fun with this folder lately. And I can’t wait to show you more with what I have created with it. But today I am sharing this one with you.

When you don’t feel like colouring the whole embossed piece you can diecut a circle or other shape and colour that small area. And don’t forget to colour with the blue around the flowers. It helps them POP more.

I embossed a piece of white card with the Sunflower Embossing Folder then I diecut a circle in another piece of white card. Then embossed the card. It is better to diecut the shape first. If you do that after you have embossed the card it can flatten the detail.

I used the Daubers and inks to colour this one. And used the Balmy Blue Light Stampin’ Blend for the surrounds.

I heat embossed the sentiment on black card. This helps it POP more too. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

Have you tried the Sunflower Embossing Folder? It is a large one but there are lots of different Sunflower shapes over it and you can pick the area you like depending on your project.

The Embossing Folder measures 6″ x 8-1/2″ (15.2 x 21.6 cm). I said it was a large one!

You can see it more -> HERE.

Hope you get to create with it. I will bring you more with it soon.

We will be creating with this folder in class this week. If you are a Wollongong local I would love you to join in my classes. They are lots of fun and I can share lots of tips and and techniques that are sometimes a little tricky to share through a blog post.
