Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Wollongong – Page 46

If you have followed me for a while you would notice that I don’t do a lot of scrapbooking. I have done a page here and there. (If you want to see some of them then be sure to click on the tag ‘scrapbooking’ at the top and it will take you to some of the posts).

I have had this photo for a couple of years now with the idea of scrapping it. I needed to make a page this week and thought of this photo again – and it was time to do something with it. So … I made a scrap page. 🙂

Here it is for you.

WHAT I HAVE USED

Card and Paper: Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, Tranquil Tide cardstock, Sahara Sand cardstock, Whisper White, Vellum.

Stamps: Petal Palette. Dies: Petals and More Thinlits, Layering Oval Thinlits, Stitched Labels Thinlits.

THE PROCESS

Choosing the photo was the easy part but working out how to put it together took a little time. I first went through some scrapbooking page ideas I had pinned on Pinterest. I also looked at some ideas I saved to my computer and in some magazines. I wanted to use some of the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! paper in some way. I had thought in strips. I tried a few sheets of paper that I had to see what worked. I found that this piece looked the best against the black and white photo. I thought I might cut it in strips with some other prints from the Nature’s Poem pack but I liked this piece left as it was.

I narrowed down the stamps and the dies to the Petal Palette set and cut a few pieces from the Petals and More Thinlits and the Stitched Labels Framelits. I played around with the positioning and then added the sentiment. I have to say it was a fun process putting the page together and I was happy with the way it turned out.

Now don’t hold your breathe for me to scrap another page in a hurry. 😉

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #35 – LET’S LOOK AT THE BLENDED SEASONS BUNDLE!

August 8, 2018August 8, 2018 Jenny Hayward

By now you would have seen quite a bit of the Blended Seasons Bundle around different blogs and Pinterest. It is a beautiful bundle. I am just sad that it is only around for this month. It is so versatile. So today for Wednesday’s WOW! #35 I thought we would take a closer look at it.

Here is the Blended Seasons stamp set and the matching Stitched Seasons Framelits.

How many different occasions can you see using this set for?

Birthday – The sentiments are fitting for a birthday. The flowers come up beautifully coloured with whatever your choice of medium whether it is Watercolor Pencils, Stampin’ Blends or Inkpads and Aquapainter. You could also use the ‘husk’ type image or the leaves for a great male card.

Congratulations/All the Best – Try colouring the flowers for this occasion too. The leaves are great as well.

Wedding – Those sweet bells are not just good for Christmas but they make a lovely wedding card.

Thinking of You – Add flowers, leaves or the husks and with those sentiments you have a lovely card to let someone know you are thinking of them.

Christmas – There are lots of stamps to use for this occasion, the bells or that gorgeous holly. I love the font in this set.

Teamed with the Framelits they make cards for every occasion. It is such a versatile set.

Speaking of those Framelits though. Did you realise they are double stitched? They have a stitched line effect on the outside edge and the inside edge of the diecut. It looks really cool. With 3 different sizes you can layer them together.

Below is a video from Shannon West at Stampin’ Up! to show how these stamps and dies can work together but it especially has some great tips on watercolouring, so be sure to check it out. If you are viewing this from an email update and the video is not showing be sure to click on the blog link above to go directly to my blog to view it. 🙂

Here are some ideas courtesy of Stampin’ Up! Some of the cards are the ones featured in the video.

I think this one below is one of my favourites I have seen with this bundle. It shows how the Framelits work with the stitching and I love the colours used.

Lots of great ideas for you.

JOY OF SETS 2018 CATALOGUE BLOG HOP!

August 1, 2018August 1, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I am taking part in a Blog Hop today with the Facebook group – The Joy Of Sets.

You might have just come from Kirsten’s blog. (click on the arrow below to go back if you missed it or you will get there after going around the hop).

Today’s theme is a project using any product from the current 2018 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.

Focusing on ANY product from this current catalogue is pretty overwhelming really. There are so many wonderful products. What do you choose!! After trying a few options I chose the Sitting Pretty Bundle. I made a card set in some fun bright colours.

I used the Brights Paper stack and the co-ordinating Glitter Enamel Dots in Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Melon Mambo.

The lovely ornate seat is heat embossed in Copper and then cut with the Pretty Park Framelits. I added a vellum scallop circle under the seats and cut a small heart that is in the Framelits set in the matching colour. The sentiments and the fun swirl is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous set.

Here is a close-up of the Gorgeous Grape one so you can see it more clearer. They are all the same layout.

Now you can continue the Blog Hop and see all the other creations. Head to Susan’s Blog by clicking on the arrow below.

Happy Hopping,

TEAM SHOEBOX SWAP – DAY 2!

July 27, 2018July 27, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I have another group of photos to share with you today from out Team Stamp day a couple of months ago. We all created a card in the Shoebox Swap for each person to create. I showed you some lovely ones yesterday. (Head back to the last post if you missed it).

This is a mix of different cards.

I haven’t used Sheltering Tree set in a while. After stamping the tree on the white Diecut oval, then stamp the small “dots” in the set in different colours over the branches. We used Tranquil Tide, Pineapple Punch (I think), Grapefruit Grove, and Lovely Lipstick. There was a purple colour created but that was from mixing the Lovely Lipstick and the Tranquil Tide I think. The white card piece was backed on to a diecut black oval that was cut in half.

The next one below uses the High Tide set and the cool seat from Seasonal Layers Thinlits. The sentiment is from Colorful Seasons. To create the background on the card, ink the clear block in the Pool Party inkpad. Lightly spritz it with water and stamp on to the Shimmery White cardstock. The reeds are stamped in Soft Suede and then stamped off again on the card to make it lighter. This was repeated a couple of times.

This next one is using the Coffee Cafe stamp set and the Coffee Cups Framelits. The card was distressed a little with some sponging with Soft Suede ink. This was a fun card to create.

Hope you like them.

Be back again soon with more,

Jenny
