CUT AND FLIP FOR WEEK 4 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

Jenny Hayward

Back with Week 4 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series.

This week we are looking at the Cut and Flip Method for our Christmas cards. This method can be a great one for making multiple cards at one time too. It’s very quick and easy.

You can just use this idea to make as a single card too.

You just need some gorgeous paper with co-ordinating patterns on each side of the paper. Watch the video below to find out how.

I have used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper on this one. And also used the Golden Greenery Stamps and Dies and the Greetings of the Season Stamps and Dies.

At the end of the video I share another version with different papers.

I will send out the measurements in next week’s Newsletter. If you would like the written version you can sign up for my free newsletters. You will see the link in the right hand column on my blog.

This is the card that was made.

Happy Christmas creating,

Jenny

Jenny Hayward

Week 2 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series is half front with the Merriest Trees stamps and dies.

Here’s our card.

If you don’t have the Merriest Trees another trees stamp would work just as easily I am sure.

FAUX TEARING TECHNIQUE FUN!

Jenny Hayward

Our last class was creating with the Faux Tearing Technique. It was a lot of fun looking back at this older technique. Have you tried it?

This was one of the cards we made. This one using the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies.

It is very easy technique to do. All you need is Blending Brushes and ink and use any stamps you have. You can use scrap paper for the masks or use the Masking Paper or large Sticky Note Paper.

Tear your paper so it is at least as wide as your white card. Position that over your card at the top and bottom leaving a gap on the card in the centre section.

Blend over some ink on the white card building up your colour. Hold your paper firmly so it doesn’t move. I then moved the paper away from the inked edge just slightly and added some more ink for a light edge. Then return your masks to the original position and stamp over the images having some go off the edge of the masked area.

Finish your card as you like.

Are you game to try it?

Happy crafting,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE MUSICAL JAMBOREE STAMP SET!

Jenny Hayward

It’s a cute sing, song with the Muscial Jamboree Stamp Set for Sweet Sunday.

Isn’t this character having such a great time singing his heart out??

Stampin' Up! Musical Jamboree Stamp Set

(Card created by Stampin’ Up! artists)

On the circle diecut with one from the Spotlight in Nature dies the image was stamped and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The clouds were first cut from the Hot Air Balloon Dies and then placed on the circle creating a mask. Then brush over the sky with some ink with the Blending Brushes.

On the Timber 3D Embossing Folder ink was swiped over the inside of the folder. You can swipe over with the Ink Pad or use the Brayer with ink. Then add your Balmy Blue card mat and run it through the machine. This adds an extra dimension to you card and highlights the embossed detail.

So enjoy a little sing along with this cutie for our Sweet Sunday. Have a great week ahead. I hope you escape to your craft space this week.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #164 – MASK A BACKGROUND ~

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #164 – Creating a masked background.

Here’s a technique for you to try sometime. You can create a masked frame and add colour to the centre area.

To do this use the Masking Paper to add strips around the edge of your card leaving a rectangle or square shape in the middle. Using the Brayer or the Blending Brushes roll (or brush) over your ink. Try different colours to create a coloured background.

Once you are done gently remove the masking paper and stamp over your images. Stamping them in black ink will really highlight them against the background. Then it is a matter of adding a simple greeting.

Hope you get to try this out in your crafting soon.

Happy Crafting,

BATIK STYLE WITH LEAF COLLECTION FOR CI 169

Jenny Hayward

I had a little play over the weekend just for me. I checked out the Colour Inkspirations Challenge and created along with the colours for this week.

The CI 169 colours for this week were: Basic Beige, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy.

I had the Leaf Collection stamp out from other creating so thought I would try these colours with this stamp. This is the result.

I used the Emboss Resist Technique and then sponged over the different colours in different areas over the white card. It gives it a Batik style to the look.

To do this technique – Ink up the stamp in Versamark. Press the stamp on to the card and pour over the Clear Embossing Powder. Heat to melt the powder. Then with the Blending Brushes rub over ink in different parts. You will get some ink on the Embossed areas but that’s ok. Wipe off the excess ink with a tissue.

Heat Embossing is one of my favourite techniques.

You can join in with this colour challenge. Head to the Facebook group there. If you are not already a member then request to join. Then add your projects too. There is a different colour challenge every 2 weeks.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #163 – TRY A WATERCOLOUR WASH ON YOUR IMAGES

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #163 – A Watercolour Wash on your images.

You might have tried Watercolour Washing over your card to create a background, but have you tried giving your stamped images a wash? It creates a really soft look.

Stamp your image on to Watercolour Paper. This one uses the Painted Lavender stamp set. Spritz over the image lightly with water. Allow to dry for a short time. Then stamp over the washed area again with the same image. You will get a mottled look with a wash in the background. It looks really lovely.

Hope you get to try it out. I have added this image below so you can save it to try later.

NEW STAMPIN’ UP! CHANGING LEAVES BUNDLE!

Jenny Hayward

We have been talking Online Exclusives. There is another great new Bundle. This one is the Changing Leaves Bundle.

This bundle consists of the Changing Leaves Stamp set, the Dies and the Hybrid Embossing Folder.

The Changing Leaves Stamp set has some lovely sentiments in it. The leaf images give a skeleton detail. The dies will diecut the leaves and there are additional leaves and little sentiment shapes.

The dies can also work with the Embossing Folder. It is a Hybrid folder which means the dies fit the leaf shape that are in the pattern. Run your card piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, and out come die-cut, embossed accents. You can also use the embossing folder without the dies for embossing large pieces or use the dies alone to cut out solid, flat leaves and labels.

It is a great bundle for cards for any occasion but especially those ‘Thinking of You’ and ‘You are special’ type cards with those sentiments.

Let’s check some ideas for this. These are created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.

This one the images are stamped and simply diecut. The White card mat has been embossed with the Embossing Folder.

For this one it appears the card has been given a watercolour wash and then the card embossed and diecut.

You can see the Changing Leaves Bundle in my store -> HERE.

You can view all the great new Online Exclusives Products there too.

If you are in Australia and would love these for your crafting or any of the other amazing products you can stop by my store at the above link

FLOWERS OF BEAUTY SPARKLE!

Jenny Hayward

I shared a post recently of a card I CASED from the Annual Catalogue. Head back 2-3 posts back on my blog if you missed it. I thought I would share more of the card here now.

This is the card created copying one from page 53 of the Annual Catalogue.

I have used the Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies. I diecut the leafy stem from the Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper which adds a lovely sparkle. You can see that below.

The small flowers were diecut with one of the dies and then some Pretty in Pink Ink dabbed on the edges of the petals.

Don’t forget to use your Catalogue for inspiration when you are stuck. It is a great resource that we overlook.

The Flowers of Beauty are at the moment unavailable which is a shame BUT they will be back very soon. So you can grab your set then. Or if you would like me to let you know when they are back please comment or email me and I can notify you as soon as they are.
