SUNDAY SUITES – GARDEN WALK SUITE!

Jenny Hayward

It’s Sunday Suites time. Today let’s check out the Garden Walk Suite a little more.

The Garden Walk Suite has stamps and paper to make floral paper crafts with a modern spin. Although I think it’s a little more rustic/vintage.

The images in this suite represent flowers from all seasons, so you can create your own season-specific floral cards or projects. So it’s great for Birthdays and Christmas and Just Because cards.

Let’s have a look closer at all that is included.

The Garden Walk Suite includes:

  • The Modern Garden Bundle (Stamp Set and the Modern Oval Punch)
  • Garden Walk 6″x6″ (15.2cm x 15.2cm) Designer Series Paper
  • Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim 9.1m
  • Blooming Pearls – 120 adhesives pieces in Garden Green, Gold, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock.

The Modern Garden Bundle can be ordered as a Bundle or individually. But you can save 10% by buying it as a bundle. The stamps can be used for all occasions and make up different flower combinations. The Modern Oval Punch can be used for many different elements not just for sentiments on your projects. The Punch is 6×4.1cm, 2-3/8″ x 1-5/8″

The Garden Walk Designer Series Paper comes in 48 sheets – 6 each of 8 designs.

It contains flower patterns ranging in size from small to large. Use it as a background or try fussy cutting some of the larger flowers to use as accent pieces. Even stamp directly on the paper prints with some of the flower images. The colours in the paper are –  Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat.

You want to see how it’s used though don’t you. These samples were created by Stampin’ Up! artists.

Use the punch as an element on your cards.

Use strips of the pretty Paper.

A gift bag box but check the tag?? It’s a little shaker tag with the Loose Daisy Embellishments inside.

Fussy cut some of the flowers from the paper out. But check the background too. White card was embossed with the leaves Embossing Folder and then circles diecut with the Deckled Circles Dies. Pretty cool effect!

Stamp directly on the paper.

SUNFLOWERS WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! ABUNDANT BEAUTY MASKS

Jenny Hayward

Can you believe it? This was my first time at using masks of any time. And I do love how you create the layering Sunflowers from the Abundant Beauty Masks.

The colours I used was Daffodil Delight first on the flowers and then a little Pumpkin Pie in the middle of the flowers. I used Pecan Pie for the centre and then Pecan Pie for the detailed area in the centre. The leaves were with Garden Green.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett to emboss the card with an embossing folder after sponging. This one uses the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

The paper strip behind the stamped image is from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings.

This is one of the cards we were making in class today.

I have had lots of play with these masks so I will show you more soon.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #153 – TONE ON TONE WITH VERSAMARK

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #153 – Get a Tone on Tone effect with Versamark Ink Pad.

The Versamark Ink Pad is what you need to use when Heat Embossing. You ink the images with Versamark before adding your powder to heat up.

BUT Versamark is great to give a Tone on Tone effect. It’s really effective but also good if you don’t have the matching ink pad. You can use Versamark to stamp the images on the card and it gives a slightly darker tone. It does look cool!

Have you tried this?

What other ways have you used Versamark? Drop me a comment to let me know.

Hope you pull out your card and ink and start creating soon.

Happy Crafting,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #152 – M&M

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #152 – M&M.

What???

Melt and Move. Not the chocolate variety. Although that would be nice right now …

Think M&M when you are Heat Embossing. That is Melt and Move.

Once your Embossing Powder turns shiny when heating you know that it has melted. Don’t stay heating there or it will burn. Keep on moving along to the next section.

So next time you are Heat Embossing think M&M.

Now I think I need some M&M’s. Some Crunchy Peanut ones. 🙂

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #151 – FLAGGING YOUR RIBBON!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #151 – Flagging your Ribbon ends.

Do you like to flag the ends of your ribbon? Flagging is cutting the ends to a ‘V’ Point. Don’t try and cut the points individually. They never turn out even…

Here is a tip for you to “flag” those ends. Fold the sides of one of the ends of the ribbon together in half and make one snip to a point. The longer part – the point is towards the end of the ribbon. It makes them cut so much easier.

Hope this helps you.

EVERLASTING BEAUTY WITH AN EASY BACKGROUND!

Jenny Hayward

This is an easy card when you don’t want to fuss with colouring or creating backgrounds. I shared how to on my Instagram Reel last week if you caught it there.

You can use your Patterned paper. This one uses the Hello Irresistible Paper. It is a really cool effect. The flower from Everlasting Beauty is stamped in black. It comes together quickly.

The white card is embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles Stamp set and cut with the co-ordinating dies. I have used a little Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon under.

Why not try that idea yourself. Grab some patterned paper and create.

Happy Stamping,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #150 – OUTLINE YOUR DIES.

Jenny Hayward

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #150 – Outline your dies on the card insert.

Firstly – 150 WOW’s! That’s a lot of tips and tricks with your cardmaking that I have shared over the last few years. I hope they have been helpful for you. If you have missed some you can do check the “TAGS” in the side bar on my blog for Wednesday’s WOW! and it will come up with a lot of them.

Thanks for following along with me.

For today’s tip. Do you find when you take the dies off the card sheet you can never get them back right. It’s a bit of a game of Tetris.

So BEFORE you take them off, grab a pen or pencil and trace around the dies. Then you can easily put them back in place and it will show you if any are missing. Sometimes I add a magnetic sheet to my die card so you could trace around your magnetic sheet too if you do that.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH A VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

I’m back with another video for you. This one is using the Spotlighting Technique. Have you tried it?

The Spotlighting Technique is highlighting a part of an image with colour. The part highlighted can be created by diecutting any shape eg circle or square. The section can be raised up or sunk below the card mat.

You can see the video below to see how it is done. I share another version too in the video so stay tuned.

This is the card I created using the Irresistible Blooms. The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp set and diecut with the Natural Prints dies.

It is a standard size card base. I have cut the card sheet down vertically for a different look.

The exact measurements I will send out in my newsletter this week. By the way, Are you on my newsletter?? You can head to the side bar, there is a tab there.

I will let you go and watch the video now. I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #149 – HOLD DOWN THOSE DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #149 – Stop those dies moving.

Do you find your dies wriggle around and slip when you cut them?

Here’s a tip. Add a little Washi Tape to them. Or you could add a little tape. If you use tape you may want to dab it on your clothes or something to take off some of the sticky.

Check it out below.

Do you do this already? It’s a good idea.

Hope it helps you out if you didn’t know.

Jenny

ARTISTICALLY INKED FOR COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS CHALLENGE!

Jenny Hayward

I had a little play this week – just because. I played along with the Colour Inkspirations Challenge #CI144.

I have to say I found it hard colours to put together. They are beautiful colours but just being so many it was hard to work them in.

I first pulled out a few stamp sets that I thought may work and then ended up choosing the Artistically Inked Stamp set. It’s nice to play with “older” stamp sets.

This is what I came up with. The colours were Bubble Bath, Crushed Curry, Lemon Lolly, Parakeet Party and Azure Afternoon.

I stamped a number of different flowers in the different colours and then played around with the placement. Eventually I got something together. 🙂

What would you do with these colours?

There is still time to play if you want to join in too. You can follow along on the Colour Inkspirations Facebook group -> HERE.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny
