FOLD FLAT CARD FOR THIS WEEK’S VIDEO ~

Jenny Hayward

It’s a Fold Flat Card for this week’s video. It’s an easy one to create. I have used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies but you can decorate it as you like.

This is the card.

It can fold flat to post out. It will be a little bulky so check your postage.

You could even add a little chocolate or simlar in to the box part at the front when you give it directly to someone.

Don’t forget the inside.

You can watch along with the video below. If this doesn’t show in the post head to my Youtube channel.

See how you can decorate it if you don’t have the Beautiful Butterflies.

If you do like the videos did you catch the video of the 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies I shared. You can see that on my Youtube Channel -> HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW 168 – A HAPPY ACCIDENT WITH STAZON!

Jenny Hayward

I made this card recently. It resulted from a Happy Accident. I thought I would show you for our Wednesday’s WOW #168.

This is one of the flowers from the Thankful Garden Stamp Set. You could use any image though.

I was using it with Stazon and after I had stamped I wiped over the stamp with Stazon Cleaner and stamped it on scrap paper. It made the lines bleed but it looked cool. So I tried it again and this time I stamped on White card resulting in this effect giving it a washed out look.

I have tried it a few times since to replicate it. The results are different all the time. Some tips – Wipe over the stamp with the Stazon Cleaner. Stamp it off on to scrap paper very lightly first. Press firmly on to your card. Let it dry completely before finishing the card.

Be sure to clean your stamp carefully after you have stamped it.

Give it a go and see what you come up with.

If you would like other helpful tips click on the tag – Wednesday’s WOW! and find them.

STAMPIN’ UP! NATURAL BOTANICALS IN SOFT SEA FOAM

Jenny Hayward

This was the first time I have played with the Stampin’ Up! Natural Botanicals Stamp Set. I received this set months ago. It was a bonus pick during the second month of Sale-A-Bration. So it was so good to get it for Free!

This is a reverse stamp set. Which means you can stamp with either side. There is the detailed image then flip the stamp over. Some of the solid images will “fill” in the detail. Keep in mind though that some stamps when reversed will stamp the opposite way. But you can use them on their own.

Here we have the card in Soft Sea Foam. I love this soft green colour.

The Soft Sea Foam card mat was embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.

Having the heat embossed sentiment on black gives the card a POP. The words are from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

This is the Stamp Set.

If you are in Australia and would like this set or any other Stampin’ Up! Products I would love to help you. You can head to my store -> HERE Or Contact me Directly.

FRAMED PRETTY FLORALS CARD – SAME BUT DIFFERENT!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Pretty Florals Bundle. I have shared some different ones already. These 2 cards are very similar. There are just some variations.

They have the same paper, the Florals in Bloom Paper, and I have created the black frames to really highlight the flowers. You might be able to tell the differences though.

The one with the Fresh Freesia flowers is using the larger diecut flower and the outline edge. I sponged over a little Fresh Freesia ink to add some extra definition. This one is on a Fresh Freesia Card Base. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set and diecut with the Mixed Labels Dies. We made this one in our class last week using the Pretty Florals Bundle.

The other one is with the small pink flowers. The flowers are in Pretty In Pink and the little edges, (Not sure what you would call them) are in the Strawberry Slush. This one has a Pretty In Pink Card Base. The sentiment on this one is from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set I think.

So which one do you prefer?

This is a great bundle. I have had a lot of fun creating with it.

SPARKLE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES ~

Jenny Hayward

Back to more Butterfly cards. I have used the Beautiful Butterflies a lot!

This was one of the cards we made at class last week for my Card Buffet. It’s simple but with the diecut butterfly shape cut in paper it adds an extra element. The paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Paper. Then a little sparkle in Glimmer Paper was added. Got to love a sparkly, fluttery butterfly!

The wavy Embossed background gives a look of movement for the butterfly too. The Soft Waves Embossing Folder is a great versatile Folder. You don’t have to just use it for wavy seas.

The sentiment is from the Labeled With Love Stamp Set.

CREATE A WINDOW FLAP FOLD CARD + A VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

This week’s video is a Window Flap Fold Card. It gives a little surprise when you start opening the card.

This is the card when it is closed up.

I used the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. It has such lovely colours and prints in the pack. The flowers are from the Pretty Florals Bundle. These are new in the 2025 Annual Catalogue just out this week.

When you open the card…

The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. For the window you can use any shape but I think circles do work best.

This is the inside.

I’m going to show you how easy it is to make one yourself. So follow along in the video.

You can follow along with the video HERE or on Youtube. I share the measurements in Metric and Imperial.

TRANSLUCENT FLORALS PART FRONT CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I made this card for our Retiring Class last week. But then I had to cancel it as I was unwell all week. But I can still show you.

This is with the Translucent Florals Bundle. It is leaving us soon.

It’s such an easy stamp set to work with. It does give it a a “translucent” effect on the flowers when you stamp them and you don’t even need to add any other colour.

You can’t really tell too much in the photo but part of the front of the card is cut off so the front panel hangs over the inside of the card. This shows the card closed.

And the inside of the card.

The embossing Folder I used on the front is leaving too. (Actually I just checked and it is already sold out sorry).

Be sure to check out all the Last Chance items before they go. They are only while supplies last.

You can see all the Last Chance Items -> HERE. If you are in Australia and need to order you can Order in my store at that link OR contact me directly. I am happy to help you out.

TRIFOLD ARCHES CARD + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

This week for our video we have … a Trifold Arches Card.

You can make them any shape you like though if you don’t have the Everyday Arches Dies. Try with Oval or Rectangle Dies or cut your Rectangles with the Paper Trimmer if you don’t have any.

Here is the card folded up.

You can also decorate it as you like. I have used the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper which has the gorgeous paper with gold touches and the Diecut pieces so no colouring involved.

The card is very easy to make. In the video I show you the measurements in Metric and Imperial. If you would like the written Tutorial I will be sending that out to my newsletter Subscribers next week. (Tuesday 15th April).

I send out a Tutorial each week to my lovely Subscribers so be sure to be on the list. You can find the link in the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

A SIMPLE CARD WITH THE THANKFUL GARDEN STAMP SET!

Jenny Hayward

Recently we had the Thankful Garden Class. I showed different ways of using the Stamps, Dies and Masks. Everyone created 3 cards.

I like to start off with a very simple card. Then step them up and then usually a different technique or Fun Fold.

This was the Simple card. Just stamping the big flowers on the card and adding some pretty paper from the Unbounded Beauty Paper.

This is a great one when you don’t feel like colouring. But if the colouring urge grabs you it’s an easy one to colour. It has Masks in the Bundle which you can colour with ink and the Blending Brushes. Or you could colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or other colouring mediums.

I have to point out the sentiment rectangle piece. These are my new favourite. They are the Textured Notes Dies. I have talked about these previously but they are gorgeous. They have different edgings around the rectangles. You can use them on their own or layering them together.

If you are in Australia I would love to help you grab your latest crafting goodness. You can head to my Store -> HERE.

Don’t miss out on the Last Chance retiring items though too. Great discounts there.

AND, if you are a Wollongong Local and would love to get together with some new found friends and be creative I would love you to join my classes. We always look forward to people joining us. Drop me a Comment or an email and I can tell you about it.

Happy Crafting,

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES WITH BOKEH PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Beautiful Butterflies and pretty paper. It’s such a sweet combination. This card was one of the cards in the video of 5 Ways with the Beautiful Butterflies. I realised I hadn’t shown you more of it

I have used some strips of the Beautiful Bokeh Paper on the card mat. Then stamped and coloured 3 small butterflies to match the paper strips. I added some Wink of Stella to the wings to make them sparkle but it is hard to see in the photo.

Although there is a little colouring with the butteflies it is a card you can reproduce a number of to give to lovely people to brighten their day.

If you missed the video to see the 5 Ways I posted this recently on my blog. You can head back to see it on my blog just a little way back OR it is now on Youtube.

If you need some supplies to create the card yourself or for any other project I would love to help you if you live in Australia.
