STAMPIN’ UP! PRETTY POINSETTIA CHANGES ~

Jenny Hayward

I recently made a card with the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Poinsettia Bundle.

I wasn’t happy with it. I will show you the card but then I will show you what I did. Sometimes making a card just doesn’t turn out right but it’s ok to review and change it up and even ask others what you could do.

Here is the original card. And to be honest I wasn’t really sure where I was going with it. It certainly didn’t look balanced or right.

I shared this on my Facebook page to see what others thought. I had some great suggestions too. Moving the leaves, move the flower, add more flowers. The issue was those leaves were stuck down hard. I couldn’t move them and I wasn’t about to remake the card. If I moved the flower it would still be unbalanced.

I managed to move the flower a little. It wasn’t stuck down too hard. Then I diecut and assembled another flower and added it lower down. So here is the updated card.

So what do you think of this now?? Better?

I added Wink of Stella to the leaves and flowers to add some sparkle.

So don’t be afraid to revisit a card that you are not happy with – and to ask others too. 🙂

This is the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle if you haven’t come across it before. It’s an Online Exclusives you can find on the website -> HERE.

Happy Crafting to you,

FALLING LEAVES WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! FRAMED VIOLETS

Jenny Hayward

It’s been a while since I have shown you a Violets card. This one is a falling leaves one.

For this card I didn’t add the Violets as diecuts or stamped ones. I added 3 diecut leaves. The little purple flower is one from the Framed Violets Dies set and I added colour to the centre with some ink. If you tie a little twine bow behind the flower it can help highlight the tiny flower.

You could substitute this idea with other leaves and little flowers though if you didn’t have the violets – if you wanted to.

At the bottom of the card I added a wider strip of the Violet Dreams paper and then a smaller strip just behind it sitting above there.

Maybe these ideas could help you creating a card even if you don’t have the violets.

SENDING SMILES WITH THE LOVELY ARRANGEMENTS BUNDLE ~

Jenny Hayward

I like to give cards that are “sending smiles”. I love the expression in this Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and adding the gorgeous Lovely Blossoms Paper for a card with a lot of heart.

In the Lovely Arrangements Dies there is the large “dotted” background die which adds an extra element. And there is also the small “dot” background for extra texture too.

The flowers I coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and then diecut some leaves to add.

Have you seen the Lovely Arrangements Bundle or the Lovely Blossoms Paper?? It is really gorgeous.

HOMEMADE TREATS BUNDLE FOR SWEET SUNDAY ~

Jenny Hayward

Sweet Sunday with the Homemade Treats Bundle.

I’m not a baker. And really not that great a cook. I will admit it. But I might be able to handle this one.

The Homemade Treats Bundle is a cute one. It has the Dies to cut little gingerbread men, and candy canes and other baking goodies, even a baking tray. How fun!

This would make great cards but how great would this be to dress up some cookies to give at Christmas. In my case maybe I can dress up some store bought cookies. 🙂 I will stick to making the cards and tags.

This is the Homemade Treats Bundle.

Even fun little sentiments for your baked goodies.

The card is cute but dress up some cookies too.

You can see the Homemade Treats Bundle in my store -> HERE.

If you need this one for your baked goodies or for cards for a wannabe cook (raising my hand), then you can grab it there OR contact me.

Happy Crafting,

CHARMING DAY IN BLACKBERRY BLISS ~

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the new Charming Day Bundle this week. It has some sweet flowers but the paper in the Suite is so, so gorgeous. I feel like I repeat myself a lot.

This is one of the cards I created with it.

The pretty paper is the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. The colours and patterns are so gorgeous. The Sentiment is the ‘With You In Mind’ Stamp Set and cut with the Textured Notes Dies.

It is hard to see but I stamped the Blackberry Bliss Base Card with the leaf stamp several times over the front.

This is the Charming Day Bundle. You can see it more -> HERE.

And now for the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. See it more -> HERE.

There are a lot more to this Suite which will be for another day. If you love these products and them in your life I would love to help you out.

A WATERCOLOUR WASH WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE STAMP SET ~

Jenny Hayward

Another one with the Stampin’ Up! Rustive Centerpiece Stamp Set. I have been playing with this over the last few days. Lots of creative fun with it.

This time I created a Watercolour Wash over some Watercolour Card.

To create it I washed over some Watercolour Card with the Soft Sea Foam. I added a few drops of the Reinker in to the lid of the Ink Pad and added some water to it and swirled it around to mix it. With the Water Painter I washed over the card. Then I left it to dry before stamping on it.

When I came back to it the piece nearly went in to the bin. When it was drying I didn’t like the colours that were coming out. I picked it up to throw it and thought maybe I will just try stamping on it and see how it turns out. (To see if it works ok 😄). It was my little experiment. I actually thought it turned out passable in the end.

The succulents are stamped in Garden Green. I think the Black sentiment helps it all to POP. That was heat embossed in White on the Black card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set. The paper is from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

So the card lived to fight another day. Just a word of encouragement. If you don’t like how something is turning out, persevere with it. Put it aside, walk away, come back and work on it. You never know. It might just become a hero.

This is the Rustic Centerpiece Stamp Set if you missed it. It was released yesterday as an Online Exclusives.

You can find the stamp set -> HERE along with other Online Exclusives.
