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.

Today I wanted to share just some of my favourites creations from the 2021. It was hard to narrow it down.
A special Congratulations card for my son on his engagement. I think this was the highlight of the year when my son – and now daughter-in-law were married!
Another popular one and I know many have followed along with the video and used the template to create these cards. Create 4 cards with 1 piece of 6″x6″ paper.

Last post I shared with you the video to create 4 cards with 1 piece of 6″x6″ piece of paper. I thought I would show you the card sets I have created with this.
Firstly the set shown in the video using the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.
By the way did you notice the sentiments on these cards above? It is with the new Eden’s Garden bundle coming in November. Watch out for more on this gorgeous suite.
This next set is also using the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.
This set is a Christmas one using the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
Which set is your favourite?
To catch how to create them you can watch the video now -> HERE.
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.

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

Another card to share with you today with the Merriest Moments Bundle. I have been loving these gorgeous stamps and dies. I have showed you a number of cards in the last few posts. (Check back on my blog posts if you have missed them).
Today’s card is a CASE of one shown in the catalogue on p43.
The difference on mine – I added a card mat for the stamping and changed the colours of the Poinsettias. I used Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler. I also just stamped by sentiment in Basic Gray ink rather than heat embossing. (OK I was being lazy to get my heat tool and embossing powder out). I think it turned out ok just with that though.
I hope you have managed to grab the Merriest Moments Bundle. It will be great for your Christmas creating.
