HELLO LADYBUG SIDE STEPPER CARD!

Jenny Hayward

Sharing a card from my last class with you. Everyone loved it and I thought you might like it too.

This is a Side Stepper Fold card. We used the Hello Ladybug stamps and punch. I always love seeing yellow ladybugs. We used the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper with it.

I have made several of these in the past. I shared the template and instructions way back and dug up the post to share it with you again.

See how to create your own Side Stepper card -> HERE. It was some time ago so I do apologise for the quality of the template. The instructions in that post are for metric but check at the top of the post there is a link for imperial measurements.

Have fun creating one.

There is still some time for Sale-A-Bration. Don’t miss out on picking up your free gift with your orders over $90 or $180.

Head over to my store now -> HERE. If you need some help please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Have a great day,

Wednesday’s WOW! #133 – How to Layer the Daffodil Dies.

You might have seen the Daffodil Dies in the Mini Catalogue. Now I will admit when I see dies like this I get overwhelmed of how to put them together. I came across these layering ideas shared from Stampin’ Up! I thought it might help you.

That makes it so much easier to see them visually like this. I hope that helps you like it did me.

These are the Daffodil Dies.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #132 – A DETAILED BORDER DIE CREATES A BACKGROUND!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #132 – You can create a cool background with a detailed border die. What a great way to extend your dies. It does take a little time and is a little fiddly but the effect is so cool.

You can see the effect in this card below. (This card is created by Stampin’ Up! artists). Also note the rainboots have been stamped in reverse stamping which I am not going to address in this post today.

See the white background. This is actually created by the thin diamond strip die from the Rainboots Dies shown below.

How do you create such a cool background effect?

NOTE: This particular sample has been diecut just in white and then white card has been coloured with the Blending Brushes and inkpads.

Here is a simpler way.

You will diecut several of these dies out for the rows on the card. Firstly in white card. 5 was used on this card but check for the card you are creating. Then diecut the strip again in other colours. You can use individual colours for the centres. BUT…

There is an even easier effect – Diecut the detailed die strip in a piece of patterned paper.

Once all the pieces are diecut then assemble the card. Adhere the white diecut strips to a white card base. (You can adhere it straight to your card base but I think assembling it separately gives you some “control”). It might be helpful to lay out all the coloured diecut diamonds separately beside your card. Once you are happy with the layout then adhere each diamond inside the strips. This does take time but how effective is the end result. If you use the adhesive sheets this will also make it easier.

This method is call the Diecut Inlay Technique.

You could try this with any detailed die strip you have. Check them out and see what you can do.

1 PIECE OF 6″x6″ = 4 CARDS. SEE THE VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

Last weekend I joined in an online “Craft-along-athon”. (It’s a bit of a mouthful). It was a Zoom event for Demonstrators in the South Pacific Market – Australia and New Zealand. It was a fun time crafting together. Isn’t it always. 🙂 (And that’s why you need to join the family to take part in these fun type of events. I always love to welcome new crafters to my JEN’s INK team).

One of the projects we made was using one sheet of 6″x6″ piece of paper to create 4 cards. It’s similar to a One Sheet Wonder which you might have heard of. I loved it and I have to say I have been creating them all week. It’s a great way of creating lots of cards in a short time – and using up that paper you have.

So today’s video I’m going to share with you how to create 4 cards from one sheet of 6″x6″ paper.

Be sure to stay to the end and I will show you the other card sets I have made. I would love to hear what your favourite is. You can find the Template Link further below.

Watch the video below or it’s now on Youtube.

Here are the cards from today’s video using the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.

Would you like to get the Cutting Guide Template? Head -> HERE.

I hope you get to create these cards. They are fun and easy.

I will share the other cards I created at a later date.

Have a great day,

Jenny
