SWEET SATURDAY WITH HEART SHAPED DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Sweet Saturday. Today it’s a cute little card – with leftovers.

Do you have “bits” leftover from another project. They just sit there for some time taunting you. Pull them out and see what you can create.

For this one I had some bits of the Toadstool Gardens Paper. I had a diecut heart from the Heart Shaped Dies along with the little flower. So it was all just the size to make a Mini Thank You card. This didn’t take long at all and I can send it out soon for a special Thank You to one of my customers.

The paper and the Heart Shaped Dies are available as Sale-A-Bration choices with your orders over the qualifying amount. ($100 AUD for the paper and $200 for the Heart Shaped Stamp Set and the Dies).

The words were diecut with one of the dies in the Mixed Labels Dies available as on Online Exclusives product.

So if you like these you will have to be quick to get them. It is only 2 weeks left for them.

If you need to order any of your crafty supplies and you are in Australia I would love to serve you. You can stop by my store OR Contact me directly. I would be happy to help you.

Happy Weekend,

Jenny

BEAUTIFUL BOKEH BUTTERFLIES CARDS

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle along with the Beautiful Bokeh Paper. They are a pretty combination together.

For some simple cards I embossed the paper with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I love the depth of texture you get with this folder. The paper gives you the Bokeh effect without creating the mess doing the technique.

These are 2 of the colours. A Balmy Blue look and Calypso Coral.

Then there is this one a little more blue and Fresh Freesia showing on the pattern.

I diecut 3 butterflies in white card to add to the card with a simple HELLO Sentiment. This was cut with the Perennial Postage Dies. Simple but sweet cards. We made this as one of our cards in class last week.

What colour do you like?

This is the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle which includes the Stamp Set, the Dies and the Hybrid Embossing Folder.

THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY BOOKBINDING CARD

Jenny Hayward

Recently I shared a Book Binding Card with the cute Toadstool Gardens Paper. That was part of a Blog Hop I was in. Today I’m sharing another version along with the link to create your own.

This one is created with the Thoughtful Journey Paper. The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set and using the To The Point Label Punch.

This is the inside. I added a strip of the paper across the bottom.

The Bright Borders Stamp Set has some really versatile sentiments and I love the pretty bordered edges.

See it more -> HERE.

It is great to cut these sentiments with the punch too. See it more -> HERE.

Now let’s get back to the card.

BOOK BINDING CARD

I have made quite a few of these cards previously and have put together a video too.

You can see the original Blog Post with the measurements and including a video -> HERE.

WHITE HOLLY BACKGROUND WITH REINDEER FUN DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Did you know you can create your own textured background with dies?

For this card I diecut lots of white Berries and Holly leaves from the Reindeer Fun Dies and adhered these together. Then I added them to a white card mat. It adds a subtle texture.

Here’s how to Create this effect:

  • Diecut lots of Holly Leaves and Berries from the dies on white card.
  • Adhere the Holly and Berries together.
  • Lay all the Holly/Berry pieces out on the white card mat to position them how you like. Have some overhanging the edges.
  • Adhere them down to the card mat. Turn over the card and trim off the overhanging pieces.

Then complete the card as you like.

I added a strip of Reindeer Days Paper and a strip of the Green Glimmer Paper along with the bells coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I finished it off with a bow from the Real Red and Gold Ribbon.

Try this idea with some dies you have. It takes a little diecutting and sticking together but it is a fun way to use them.

Hope your Christmas Creating is going along well.
