STAMPIN’ UP! WILDFLOWER BIRTHDAY – ME TO YOU

April 28, 2025April 28, 2025 Jenny Hayward

In my Facebook Group this week I have set a little “Creative Spark” post to perhaps inspire the members creating.

This week it was to use 2 different pieces of patterned paper on their cards. So of course I created too. This was my card.

I used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper. It has gorgeous paper prints as well as Diecut images and pieces ready to use. I love that this can make creating a lot quicker.

I used a sketch to create the card. The square Birthday Cake image was cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies to add some extra detail and layered on a Old Olive Card Mat.

The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set and cut with one of the dies from the Mixed Labels Dies. A little flower piece was added that was in the diecut paper pack.

So why not try this yourself. Grab 2 different pieces of patterned paper and create a card. If you need to check out a Card Sketch to work with to help you put the card together.

If you haven’t seen the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper before this is the pack.

You can see it more Online -> HERE. You can order there or Contact me directly. I would love to help you get that pretty paper.

Happy Creating

TRIFOLD ARCHES CARD + VIDEO!

April 12, 2025April 12, 2025 Jenny Hayward

This week for our video we have … a Trifold Arches Card.

You can make them any shape you like though if you don’t have the Everyday Arches Dies. Try with Oval or Rectangle Dies or cut your Rectangles with the Paper Trimmer if you don’t have any.

Here is the card folded up.

You can also decorate it as you like. I have used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper which has the gorgeous paper with gold touches and the Diecut pieces so no colouring involved.

The card is very easy to make. In the video I show you the measurements in Metric and Imperial. If you would like the written Tutorial I will be sending that out to my newsletter Subscribers next week. (Tuesday 15th April).

I send out a Tutorial each week to my lovely Subscribers so be sure to be on the list. You can find the link in the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

Here’s the video for you.

I hope you get to make one. If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to contact me.

These are the Everyday Arches Dies. There are 10 Dies in total you can use one on their own or layer them together.

You can see them more in my store -> HERE.

A SIMPLE CARD WITH THE THANKFUL GARDEN STAMP SET!

April 3, 2025April 3, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Recently we had the Thankful Garden Class. I showed different ways of using the Stamps, Dies and Masks. Everyone created 3 cards.

I like to start off with a very simple card. Then step them up and then usually a different technique or Fun Fold.

This was the Simple card. Just stamping the big flowers on the card and adding some pretty paper from the Unbounded Beauty Paper.

This is a great one when you don’t feel like colouring. But if the colouring urge grabs you it’s an easy one to colour. It has Masks in the Bundle which you can colour with ink and the Blending Brushes. Or you could colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or other colouring mediums.

I have to point out the sentiment rectangle piece. These are my new favourite. They are the Textured Notes Dies. I have talked about these previously but they are gorgeous. They have different edgings around the rectangles. You can use them on their own or layering them together.

If you are in Australia I would love to help you grab your latest crafting goodness. You can head to my Store -> HERE.

Don’t miss out on the Last Chance retiring items though too. Great discounts there.

AND, if you are a Wollongong Local and would love to get together with some new found friends and be creative I would love you to join my classes. We always look forward to people joining us. Drop me a Comment or an email and I can tell you about it.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! 167 – TEXTURED NOTES DIES SIZES

March 26, 2025March 26, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #167 – What’s the sizes of the Textured Notes Dies??

People often ask the sized of the Textured Notes Dies. And that’s a good question. You want to know how they will fit on your card.

So here you go. I put together this little chart that shows the sizes. Save it for future reference.

These dies are part of the Textured Notes Bundle but I particularly like the Dies. They have different markings on the edges that create embossed look on the edge of your card. Use them to create a frame or to add an image directly on them. They are very versatile on their own or layer them together.

The Dies and stamps have just been released as an Online Exclusives this month.

You can see the Dies more in store -> HERE.

You can see the Bundle more in store -> HERE.

I am loving these dies. They are very versatile and I think they will be a great one for your collection.

Hope that is helpful for you.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! THANKFUL GARDEN WITH PAPER STRIPS

March 18, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Our class last week was using the Thankful Garden Bundle. There are lots of ways to use this gorgeous bundle.

This was one of the cards we made. We coloured the flower with the Stampin’ Blends as in the class it is hard to use the masks with a group to share them around. But it shows that you can use these in many different ways.

The paper strips are with the Mixed Media Floral Paper that is an Online Exclusives. They just make a different element to the card mat and highlights the colours used.

This is the Thankful Garden Bundle. You can see it more -> HERE.

MINI BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES CARD!

March 15, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I have been sharing a lot with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. It is a gorgeous one. You might have caught the 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies Video I posted just recently. You can find this in a previous post on my blog or now on Youtube. But I will also have the link below if you missed it.

This is one of the cards I created. It is a Mini Beautiful Butterflies folded card in Fresh Freesia.

MAKE IT YOURSELF:

To create this place your die on the fold line of your card base with the little score marks on the die lining up on the fold. Diecut it out. You will have a fold card. If you want some pretty paper on the butterfly adhere your paper to the front of the card first. I used the Beautiful Bokeh paper for this one.

I added a detailed diecut body in white on the front of the card.

If you missed the tip on how to cut the black body then be sure to check on my page or on the video -> HERE.

If you have the Beautiful Butterflies I hope you get to make one similar. Have a play with it. It’s lots of fun.

This is the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. You can see it more in my store -> HERE.

TRY THE FAUX WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUE WITH THE VIDEO~

March 8, 2025March 8, 2025 Jenny Hayward

I came across the Faux Watercolour Technique recently. I was intrigued and had to try it. I thought you might like it too so I put together a video. You can follow along and give it a try.

As you watch you might see it is a bit like the Smooshing Technique. But there are some differences.

Here is the video.

Here is the card I created.

The Thankful Garden Bundle includes Stamps, Dies and Masks and is an Online Exclusives.

If you have missed it you can see it online -> HERE.

I have also used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder which adds a nice, curvy texture. Also, using the Arched Dies for the sentiment adds a different element.

Hope you like it and get to try the technique yourself.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – FRIENDS OF THE OCEAN SUITE

February 9, 2025February 9, 2025 Jenny Hayward

Back with Sunday Suites. We have Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection.

The ocean is my favourite place. This suite is different to your typical marine style stamps and dies I think.

The colours in the suite move away from the typical blues you might associate with the ocean. There is the bright pinks and oranges. I think it leans more to the sunrise and sunset colours perhaps?

The Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection includes:

The Ocean Friends Bundle
The Soft Waves Embossing Folder
Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper 12″x12″
Sunny Day Iridescent Dots 135 adhesive dots 5mm and 6mm. In Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Splash

Let’s look closer.

The Ocean Friends Bundle

This is a two-step stamp set making it easy to stamp the outline, stamp the inside image and diecut. You can choose to colour these too if you would like.

The Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper.

The colours in the paper are Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash.

The paper has the ocean creature images on one side and patterns on the other. So these papers can be used to create projects of other fun types. Great for those bright, cheery Birthday cards.

The Soft Waves Embossing Folder.

The folder measures 6″ x 6-1/4″ (15.2 x 15.9 cm) so it is a large one but that works great to get the wavy impression whether your card is portrait or landscape position.

I particularly love the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. It creates deep impressions to add extra texture. The curvy lines could be used on any project beyond water images.
