ANOTHER HELLO LADYBUG CARD!

I have another card for you today with the Hello Ladybug stamps and the Ladybug Builder punch.

I will say I meant to position the white card up a little higher but I stuck it down and realised – and it was stuck!!

I used the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper too. It was a sweet pattern for these Ladybugs stamped in Bumblebee and Calypso Coral.

The diecut edge under the white is from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. The sparkly paper is the Supple Shimmer Paper.

You can see the Hello Ladybug stamps and dies (Price is $56.50 AUD) in my store now -> HERE.

If you need help with your order please don’t hesitate to contact me. If ordering online at that link please use the Host Code: 9JUM9XCP.

These Ladybugs are going to fly off now.

Have a great week,

Jenny

HELLO LADYBUG SIDE STEPPER CARD!

Sharing a card from my last class with you. Everyone loved it and I thought you might like it too.

This is a Side Stepper Fold card. We used the Hello Ladybug stamps and punch. I always love seeing yellow ladybugs. We used the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper with it.

I have made several of these in the past. I shared the template and instructions way back and dug up the post to share it with you again.

See how to create your own Side Stepper card -> HERE. It was some time ago so I do apologise for the quality of the template. The instructions in that post are for metric but check at the top of the post there is a link for imperial measurements.

Have fun creating one.

There is still some time for Sale-A-Bration. Don’t miss out on picking up your free gift with your orders over $90 or $180.

A FLATTENED RAINBOWS OF HAPPINESS CARD!

I’m putting this card out there. Is it just me?? I feel that this rainbow is a bit flat. I added them the wrong way. But I thought I would show you anyway. Maybe it’s near the top of the rainbow?? Maybe it’s just so cloudy you can’t see it all? Is there a wrong way? Maybe I’m overthinking it …

I used the Brilliant Rainbows Dies with the Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper. I do love the pretty paper though with it’s fun colours and patterns.

The sentiment is from the Many Messages Stamp set.

You can see the Rainbows in my store -> HERE.

SPARKLY RAINBOW CARD WITH THE RAINBOWS OF HAPPINESS BUNDLE!

Another card for you today with the Rainbows of Happiness Bundle. This is another one I shared in the recent video.

I think the Supple Shimmer Paper adds a special sparkle to the card.

The curvy edge can be created with ones of the dies in the Rainbows Dies set. What about the Gingham Embossing Folder though? Have you noticed that in the catalogue?

See 5 Ways with the Rainbows of Happiness Bundle in the video now on Youtube -> HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #132 – A DETAILED BORDER DIE CREATES A BACKGROUND!

Wednesday’s WOW! #132 – You can create a cool background with a detailed border die. What a great way to extend your dies. It does take a little time and is a little fiddly but the effect is so cool.

You can see the effect in this card below. (This card is created by Stampin’ Up! artists). Also note the rainboots have been stamped in reverse stamping which I am not going to address in this post today.

See the white background. This is actually created by the thin diamond strip die from the Rainboots Dies shown below.

How do you create such a cool background effect?

NOTE: This particular sample has been diecut just in white and then white card has been coloured with the Blending Brushes and inkpads.

Here is a simpler way.

You will diecut several of these dies out for the rows on the card. Firstly in white card. 5 was used on this card but check for the card you are creating. Then diecut the strip again in other colours. You can use individual colours for the centres. BUT…

There is an even easier effect – Diecut the detailed die strip in a piece of patterned paper.

Once all the pieces are diecut then assemble the card. Adhere the white diecut strips to a white card base. (You can adhere it straight to your card base but I think assembling it separately gives you some “control”). It might be helpful to lay out all the coloured diecut diamonds separately beside your card. Once you are happy with the layout then adhere each diamond inside the strips. This does take time but how effective is the end result. If you use the adhesive sheets this will also make it easier.

This method is call the Diecut Inlay Technique.

You could try this with any detailed die strip you have. Check them out and see what you can do.
