GLOW OF HARVEST SPECIALTY PAPER FOR AUGUST PRODUCT OF THE MONTH ~

The Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper is this month’s Product of the Month. I have been creating with it for a few weeks now as part of the Demonstrator Council.

The paper has lovely fall/Autumn patterns. We don’t create that much for those type of occasions in Australia. It works well for other occasions though as I discovered when I started playing with it.

This is the paper.

I thought this print worked well with the cow from the Wild Bunch set. And maybe I had one already coloured – and it worked!!

You could replace the idea with something else you have.

The Glow of Harvest paper has a really nice sheen to it. Just a subtle sparkle.

You can select this paper when you place your qualifying order. In Australia if your order is over $125, Select this paper and you only pay an additional $9.

If you need to order you can head to my store -> HERE Or contact me directly and I can help you out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! WILD BUNCH SENDING LOVE COW ~

We can’t miss the cow with the Wild Bunch Stamp Set.

I coloured this cow with the Stampin’ Blends and layered it on some of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. I thought that paper worked well for this cow. What do you think?

It’s nice to give a card to “send some love”. Hope you get to send out a card for that soon to someone who needs a little “love”.

Have a great day,

Jenny

PENGUIN FRIENDS WITH THE WILD BUNCH STAMP SET ~

It’s Penguin Friends today with the Wild Bunch set. Aren’t these just the cutest?? Lots of penguin smiles to send to a friend. I’m sure it will cheer them up.

I coloured the penguins lightly with Watercolor Pencils and fussy cut them and raised them up on to white card circles with Dimensionals. The circles were raised up too. Adding some of the Painted Illusions paper gives some extra happiness and cheer too.

Check back for more with the Wild Bunch stamp set this week.

Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is sold out. It has been so popular. If you don’t have that one you might have a different stamp to substitute with.

Happy Crafting,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SNAIL WITH THE WILD BUNCH SET

It’s a Wild Bunch Week this week. We are starting off slow with the snail.

For this fun snail I coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends using the Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight colours for the shell and Balmy Blue for the body. The white card is embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder. It has so much detail.

Be sure to check in this week with some more cute Wild Bunch Cards.

Have a great week,

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE WILD BUNCH KOALA ~

It’s Sweet Sunday time. I have been colouring the little critters from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set. It is a cute one. Today I put together one of those little ones. Of course being an Aussie it had to be the Koala.

I coloured the Koala with the Watercolor Pencils and fussy cut it out.

I used the Nature Walk Paper. It looks a bit “bushy” or among “trees”. The diecut leaf is from the Nature’s Symphony Dies. I don’t know if they leaf would work for a Eucalyptus leaf (their favourite) but it would substitute on this.

The Wild Bunch is this month’s Product of the Month. Have you noticed it? It’s a cute one. I don’t often do cute but well this has a Koala and lots of fun, happy critters it would work for grown ups too.

The Product of the Month is available for an additional small amount when your order reaches the qualifying amount. It differs in each market. In Australia purchase the Product of the Month for an additional $9 when your order reaches $125.

Have a wonderful week and I hope it is a crafty one for you.

STAMPIN’ UP! OPULENT OASIS WITH BERRY BOTANICAL VELLUM

The Opulent Oasis Bundle has been on my desk for some weeks now. I have been having lots of fun creating with this. So why put it away …

I shared one card in a recent post. This is another similar card I have made.

I like with this set that you can simply stamp the flower and diecut or there is the additional diecut flower/leaves that you can add. I will share more with that one in later posts.

For this card I went for the Hydrangea Hue and Lemon Lime Twist colour again. Because why not! I do like those colours. I added in the Peaceful Pine leaves also.

I used the Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Paper. This is the May Product of the Month. I have been creating a lot with this paper over the past month working for the Demonstrator Council. I will show you more projects later with this

The Product of the Month is available with your qualifying purchases. In Australia when your order is over $125 you can purchase the product for an additional $9. Check your market for your amount.

If you need your own supplies and you are in Australia I would love to help you get them. You can order through my Online store -> HERE OR Contact me directly.

EYELET BLOOMS WITH THE NATURE WALK PAPER ~

When I was creating recently I wanted to create a background with the inkpads and Blending Brushes. Time was short though. So I found some patterned paper that would work still. Although I was going to use different ink colours over the card piece the blues would still look ok.

I used a piece from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper pack and diecut it with the Eyelet Blooms Dies. I had spent a bit of time lifting the petals but I see they did flatten a little when I put the card together. I can lift some again now. I just used the Paper Piercer to do that.

I tried out the new Words and Wishes Bundle.The dies have numerous diecut words for your greetings. I will say that the words were larger than I expected. It does pay to read the labels better … But they do make a nice statement and I love how they layer together.

Another surprise was the ‘B’ separated when I diecut it out. I thought I had torn it but it is meant to be that way. I will have to check that when I do the other words.

So when you want a “varied” colour background see what paper you have that could work. Although the creative process can be fun. What do you think?

The Eyelet Blooms Die is May’s Product of the Month. You can select that with a small additional amount with your qualifying order. Check your market. In Australia it is a $9 purchase with your $125 order.

The Words and Wishes Bundle will be available in the upcoming May-September catalogue.

Have fun crafting and experiment with what you have.

STAMPIN’ UP! EYELET BLOOMS DIE IN HYDRANGEA HUE ~

My new favourite colour – Hydrangea Hue. What do you think of the colour?

I created a simple card with the Eyelet Blooms Die.

This card was inspired by Ingrid from the Product of the Month Demonstrator Council. I stepped it up a little with some ribbon and diecut a small piece for the flower and fussy cut it out. To highlight the flower I added some ink to the edges.

The edge of the diecut is easy to snip off with scissors as the flowers are partly diecut anyway. I did cut the card mat a bit bigger than the card mat size so I can trim it down to size to get the edging in the right place with enough room to add the sentiment.

A tip with using this die.

I found I needed to run the die and card through the machine twice then turned the die and card over and ran it through twice again. Then I could peel if off easily from the die. You can brush over it with the brush to help if you find you need to help take it off.

The Eyelet Blooms Die is April Product of the Month. It is a gorgeous, detailed die to add either to the front of your cards or add a small section like the card I had shared in a previous post.

You can receive the Product of the Month item when your order reaches the qualifying amount and with an additional small cost. In Australia it is $125 order and pay an additional $9. You select that when you place your order. Check your own market for the price there.

LOVELY BLOSSOMS WITH THE EYELET BLOOMS DIE

This was an Oopsie card! I hadn’t intended it to turn out quite like this but that’s ok right. Sometimes you start out with an idea in your head and something doesn’t quite go to plan. There is an Oopsie! We are crafters. We can pivot and change it up.

I wanted to use the Eyelet Blooms Die that is this month’s Product of the Month. I diecut a panel for the front of the card. But it slipped when I diecut and it went slightly crooked. That wasn’t going to work for the front. I could have diecut it again. And I probably will try that again at another time but why waste this piece.

I was inspired by a card that Stampin’ Up! artists created diecutting a tag shape. So I used the Party Banners Dies and diecut a piece from it and added that to a piece of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. And I stamped the flowers and leaves. Bonus, no colouring the flowers … The lighting is not great but it might give you some ideas.

When you use this die you can use the Take a Pick tool or a piercer to lift the little petals of some of the flowers. You could use a Dauber and add some ink to the edges of the petals to highlight them.

So don’t throw away your Oopsies. See how you can change them. Have you done that before?

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
