FRONT PANEL GATEFOLD CARD + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

I love Fun Folds. I have a cool Fun Fold card for you today AND a video to help you create it.

It’s a Front Panel Gatefold Card.

You have the Front of the card. Just like any regular looking card really. I have used the Stippled Roses Stamp Set for this one.

But lift the front and you have a Gatefold. It gives a little extra WOW! to the card. For this one I have used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper on the side panels.

Then open the 2 flaps and you have the inside. With a little stamping and a strip of the paper it adds to the specialness.

What do you think?

You can follow along with the Video to make your own.

The measurements are included in the video. Stop or pause or rewind. If you prefer the written version I’m sending that out in my newsletter next week.

If you are not a subscriber to my newsletter please consider it.

I send out a Free Tutorial each week with a bonus one when you first subscribe. You can find the tab to subscribe in the right hand column on my blog.

Hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

BEACH DAY BOARDS!

Jenny Hayward

It’s Beach Days Today. We have had so much rain here recently and I’m missing the beach. So I pulled out Beach Day stamps and dies that I had just received and created my own beach days.

The circle was diecut with one of the Deckled Circles Dies. I then diecut a circle using the small Circle in the Beach Day Dies to create a mask to blend the sun. The colours for the sun was Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. After that I sponged Balmy Blue around the edges for the sky.

If you want to see how it is done I have added a quick video on my Facebook page and on Instagram. You can view it on Facebook -> HERE. By the way do you follow me there? Be sure to HIT the Follow so you can catch what I share there.

The board were stamped in Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight. Then with the light Stampin’ Blends I coloured an outline inside the board edge. I saw this idea on another card on Pinterest but now I don’t know who that was.

When I diecut the sand from Crumb Cake I brushed on some Crumb Cake Ink to the edge and then stamped the seashells.

The paper background is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. The greeting was diecut from the Happy Little Things Dies.

Does that bring you Beach Day vibes? I hope so.

These are available in the new catalogue now.

Need them or any other crafty products? You can order directly in my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: R4QU9DB3

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE FOR THE BEGINNER STAMPER!

Jenny Hayward

The new catalogue began this week. Woo Hoo! Have you checked it out yet?

This week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Beginners Stamping series. It’s a large number of videos with tips for the Beginner crafter. They may even help the “well-seasoned” stamper too.

You can follow along with these videos -> HERE. Take your time and work through them. You can come back to them anytime too. AND it’s free!

It will take you through the basics of the types of stamps, inks, adhesives. Also, Cutting and scoring your cards (which I created a video for). That’s always tricky! Then goes through some simple techniques to try.

Head over and check in on it.

As part of this series there is also a number of videos with some more Simple designs. Simple stamping can be a challenge even for the more advanced stamper.

Continue on with that video series and you will find them.

I have added my video here for you to check out. This one is Cutting and Scoring your card in Metric.

I have added the Imperial Cutting and Scoring too as I know many of my followers here are from the US.

This is the project I created for my Simple stamping card.

I will add my video below here on the Simple Stamping project you can create. This simple card is above. For the Stepped Up version check below.

I created a Stepped Up version. Adding a little more texture and elements. Of course you could go way more avid but a few additions can really add to your project already.

I have used the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set.

You can see the added texture and elements here. I think a little glitter should be added to the butterfly.

So with a few steps you can take your card to the next level.

This Spotlight on Nature stamp set is really gorgeous for any level of crafter.

It does come as a Bundle too with some gorgeous shape dies great layering.

You can see it more -> HERE.

Head over and check the videos out.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #161 – CREATE YOUR OWN EMBELLISHMENTS!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #161 – Creating your own Embellishments.

Do you want to know a fun way of creating your own embellishments or accents? So easy. Let me show you.

Colour a piece of card with your Stampin’ Write Markers. You want to use the Markers rather than the Stampin’ Blends as you don’t want the colour to blend. It gives you the mottled, rough look.

Once you colour your card diecut it or punch it out and add it to your projects. It will give added texture to them.

See how it looks below.

This card is using the Quiet Meadow stamp set. What dies or punches could you use with this effect?

Hope you get to try it yourself.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

MAKE A FLIP Z-FOLD CARD + VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

For our recent Onstage event in Melbourne I created a Flip Z-Fold Card for my swap. Swapping is great fun to give and receive the cards. It’s always good to see the different ideas others use – and to meet with other Demonstrators too.

I created 3 coloured versions.

The Gorgeous Grape.

The Berry Burst version.

The Highland Heather version.

The Gorgeous Grape and the Highland Heather version uses the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with the Painted Lavender Dies. The Berry Burst version uses the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper with the Bough Punch. The sentiment for all 3 is from the Translucent Floral Stamp Set.

So what colour do you like?

I thought I would put together a video to show you how to make one yourself.

Hope you get to make one yourself.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #160 – USING THE TAKE YOUR PICK TOOL!

Jenny Hayward

Do you love the Take Your Pick Tool? It’s like a Swiss army knife for crafters. 🙂

Wednesday’s WOW! #160 – Let’s look at just some of the features of the Take Your Pick Tool.

About the Take Your Pick Tool:

  • It is a Multipurpose Pickup and Precision tool simplifies some of the fiddly crafting tasks.
  • The Tacky Putty end easily picks up sequins, paper accents, and other small objects; twist to dispense more putty. There is also a Putty Refill that you can replace on the tool when you run out. AND TIP: Don’t sit there fiddling and twisting the end when you are not noticing. Ask me how I know …
  • The other end has 2 changeable, double-ended tips with paper piercer, mini spatula, small stylus, and large stylus. See I said it was a the Swiss Army Knife.

Here is the Take Your PickTool plus the extra Attachments.

There is the Take Your Pick Die Brush attachment. This will help remove those tiny little diecuts from the dies when diecutting.

There is also the Take Your Pick Crafter Tips. These tips include:

  • The Hobby Blade for precision cutting.
  • A Double-Ended Pick Tip for piercing or removing pieces from intricate die cuts.
  • And a Rotary Perforating Tip for cutting perforated patterns. 

These tips fit onto the Take Your Pick Tool to give you even more crafting tools to work with! Simply remove a tip from the tool and insert a different tip for the task you need. 

What a versatile Tool! It certainly makes some of those crafting tasks that much easier.

See it in action.

You can see it more in my store -> HERE.

Jenny Hayward

Add an extra addition to your next project with an Ombre background – with texture. Try this out.

Emboss your card mat with an embossing folder.

Using a Blending Brush or Brayer sponge over some ink in the same colour as your card. Starting darker towards the bottom and lighten as you work up the card. This creates a subtle variation in colour and is such a great effect.

See how it is done here.
