FLOWERS OF BEAUTY SPARKLE!

Jenny Hayward

I shared a post recently of a card I CASED from the Annual Catalogue. Head back 2-3 posts back on my blog if you missed it. I thought I would share more of the card here now.

This is the card created copying one from page 53 of the Annual Catalogue.

I have used the Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies. I diecut the leafy stem from the Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper which adds a lovely sparkle. You can see that below.

The small flowers were diecut with one of the dies and then some Pretty in Pink Ink dabbed on the edges of the petals.

Don’t forget to use your Catalogue for inspiration when you are stuck. It is a great resource that we overlook.

The Flowers of Beauty are at the moment unavailable which is a shame BUT they will be back very soon. So you can grab your set then. Or if you would like me to let you know when they are back please comment or email me and I can notify you as soon as they are.

If you are in Australia and Need any supplies then you can head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG

Or contact me directly.

Now off you go and grab your catalogue. Have a flick through and see what card inspires you to create.

Happy Crafting,

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH THE LAYERS OF BEAUTY!

Jenny Hayward

For one of our cards in our “Beauty Class” last week we played with the Spotlighting technique with the Layers of Beauty.

To create the Spotlighting Technique, firstly stamp the large flower and diecut a circle out in an area on the flower. The Stylish Shapes dies were used for that. Instead of using the masks to colour the flowers on the diecut circle we coloured them with the Stampin’ Blends.

Colouring the background area with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends helps to make the flowers POP. Adding a black circle mat behind the coloured circle part helps to make it POP too.

During the class while others were working on their projects I created a different version of the card by turning the card the other way.

This one has added sparkle too with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper.

Here is a close-up of the Spotlight area.

What do you think? Maybe try the Spotlighting Technique yourself.

The Layers of Beauty is a lovely bundle. For this one I have only used the Stamps which work so well in themselves.

You can see the full bundle in my store -> HERE. BONUS – They are 10% off this month which is awesome!

If you are in Australia you can shop for them directly there if you would like to add them to your crafty supplies. OR Contact me and I can help you out.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! WILDFLOWER DESIGNS ~

Jenny Hayward

Wildflower Designs Bundle. Have you noticed this one?

I’m loving the dies and how they layer together. Check these cards out. (Created by Stampin’ Up! Artists)

This is a great way of showing off the pretty papers. Make it a star within the diecuts. The papers are the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper.

Or this one, Diecutting the paper this time and layering them over the card as a background. This is a great way instead of just adding a piece of paper as a card mat.

What do you think of these ideas?

The Wildflower Designs Bundle are just one of the bundles reduced this month with the Bundle Sale in June.

If you want to check them all out you can see them out in my store -> HERE.

If you are in Australia and need to order any of these great reduced bundles then you can order in my store at the above link. OR Contact me directly and I can help you.

Have a great day,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! 162 – USE YOUR CATALOGUE FOR INSPIRATION ~

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #162 – Use Your Catalogue for Inspiration.

Do you struggle with creating sometimes?

You can find so much inspiration with the projects in the catalogue.

  • Copy them as they are.
  • Give them a twist in direction.
  • Change the colours.
  • Use a different stamp set or other products.

I was looking for ideas for the Unbounded Beauty Suite and came across this card on page 53 of the catalogue. Then changed it a little for my card.

I created a larger frame and added a sparkly leaf spray with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper. I used a piece of the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for the mat behind the white card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp set.

So next time you are stuck with inspiration, pull out your catalogue.

Don’t have a catalogue?

You can view the catalogue online now -> HERE.

OR contact me and I can send you a paper copy out. (Australian residents only).

Happy Crafting,

A SIMPLE LOVELIEST TREE BIRTHDAY CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Loveliest Tree Bundle recently. This is one of the cards we made at our Loveliest Tree class last month.

I went simple on this card. Embossing the white card with the Metal Place Embossing Folder gives it added texture.

The paper is from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper.

This Loveliest Tree stamp set is very similar to the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set from years back. But this one has dies! Which is so good.

This is the Loveliest Tree Bundle.

You can see more of it in my store -> HERE.

You can order at the above link (if you are in Australia). Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG

TIPS USING THE LAYERS OF BEAUTY!

Jenny Hayward

I shared a card just last post with the Layers of Beauty Bundle. That gorgeous bundle is so popular right now.

After a request I have put together a video in creating the card and shared some tips in using the masks particularly. They are fun to use but there might be some little points to look out for when using them.

This is the card.

You can follow along with the video here or it is now on Youtube.

Hope you find them helpful.

BEACH DAY BOARDS!

Jenny Hayward

It’s Beach Days Today. We have had so much rain here recently and I’m missing the beach. So I pulled out Beach Day stamps and dies that I had just received and created my own beach days.

The circle was diecut with one of the Deckled Circles Dies. I then diecut a circle using the small Circle in the Beach Day Dies to create a mask to blend the sun. The colours for the sun was Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. After that I sponged Balmy Blue around the edges for the sky.

If you want to see how it is done I have added a quick video on my Facebook page and on Instagram. You can view it on Facebook -> HERE. By the way do you follow me there? Be sure to HIT the Follow so you can catch what I share there.

The board were stamped in Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight. Then with the light Stampin’ Blends I coloured an outline inside the board edge. I saw this idea on another card on Pinterest but now I don’t know who that was.

When I diecut the sand from Crumb Cake I brushed on some Crumb Cake Ink to the edge and then stamped the seashells.

The paper background is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. The greeting was diecut from the Happy Little Things Dies.

Does that bring you Beach Day vibes? I hope so.

These are available in the new catalogue now.

Need them or any other crafty products? You can order directly in my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: R4QU9DB3

Or contact me and I would love to help you get them.
