Wednesday’s WOW! #159 – An Ombre Background.

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.

Here’s a card showing this idea.

This one uses the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. The Embossing Folder is the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder.

They come as a bundle for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $180.

Hope you can try this idea out on your next project.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

January 8, 2024January 8, 2024 Jenny Hayward

With the new Mini Catalogue released last week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Mini Catalogue Launch Party. Demonstrators from around the world shared project videos of some of the great new products.

It was so great to be a part of it. You can follow along now too and maybe be inspired by the projects. I will tell you how to find it but firstly let me show you the project I created.

I worked with the Trusty Tools Bundle creating a Split Front Card.

Perhaps you have made this style before?

How cool is the Trusty Tools though. I love the Trusty Toolbox paper. That is one of the free choices for Sale-A-Bration. Some of the dies will diecut some of the tools.

In the Mini Catalogue Launch there are 28 project videos. Also though there are fun games to join in on. You can choose what you like to do and can come back to it later at any time.

TRIPTYCH WITH STARS AT NIGHT STAMPS AND DIES!

November 27, 2023November 27, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Have you heard of the Triptych Technique? I have shared a card with this some months back.

A Triptych is a work of art made of 3 panels or pieces. Early known pieces date back to the Middle ages. This technique is a great one in our card project.

This was a card we created with this technique for our Stars at Night Bundle over the weekend. It works well with multiple images or a scene.

On white card stamp over the images. This card uses Boho Blue, Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate. Then cut the white panel in to 3 even pieces. For the class I had the card cut already in to 3 panels. Then place the white panels closely together and stamp.

The sentiment was diecut with the Something Fancy Dies.

We created 2 different cards with the Stars At Night Bundle too.

If you are in Australia and would love to create the cards we made you can grab the Class By Mail. Cost is $25. All pieces are diecut. You would need to substitute with stamps you have or you can order the Stars at Night Bundle in addition.

Let me know very Soon.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #156 – USE BOTH DAISY DIES AT THE SAME TIME FOR DIFFERENT COLOURS!

November 15, 2023November 14, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #156 – Use both Daisy Dies at the same time for different coloured flowers.

This is a great effect. If you don’t have the Daisy Dies you could use any layering flower dies.

How it works? Layer the dies together on one coloured card and diecut out. Diecut again on a different coloured card. This works well with white and another colour.

Swap over the different shapes and layer them together for a different look.

Try it out with what you have.

For more tips be sure to stop by often. Especially for our Wednesday’s WOW! You can search for other tips I have shared in the past by doing a search in the tags. There could be lots of helpful tips for your crafting.

SWEET SUNDAY – WISHES ALL AROUND!

November 5, 2023November 5, 2023 Jenny Hayward

It’s not just one card for this Sweet Sunday. It’s the whole bundle. The Wishes All Around Bundle.

I think this bundle is so fun with the circles of trees and snowflakes. We don’t often make cards with snowflakes here in Australia. It’s too hot and sunny for that at Christmas. But the trees are very cool!

Let’s see them.

This one is stamping the trees twice. Once in Garden Green on Soft Seafoam and again in Garden Green on Garden Green. Then layer them together and add a little of the foliage. But how quick is it with the Brushed Gold Cards and Envelopes.

This is another one with the trees. Stamped in Bubble Bath and then again in Moody Mauve. The Moody Mauve trees are snipped out and layered on to the Bubble Bath ones. Oh! And check out the background. There Bubble Bath Ink has been swiped over the card base.

Here is another card so you can see the circle of snowflakes.

This is the Wishes All Around Bundle (stamps and dies).

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

ABUNDANT BEAUTY – A HAPPY ACCIDENT!

October 17, 2023October 17, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This card came about by a Happy Accident.

When I was creating an earlier card I diecut a square from a piece of white card with the Stylish Shapes Dies. There was still some white on the scrap piece that I could do something with later. You save bits like that right??

When I made one of the Sunflower cards recently I grabbed it to stamp my sentiment on.

BUT I thought hang on a minute – that would make a great frame! So I sponged some more Sunflowers with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, cut them out and added them to the frame. How good was it that I actually centred the words on it though too.

Here is the card.

Here it is side on to get a closer look.

The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks has layers that you can build up your flower adding ink or texture paste or even heat embossing. It creates such a great effect.

The paper is from the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set.

Do you have “happy accidents”?

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – GARDEN WALK SUITE!

October 15, 2023October 15, 2023 Jenny Hayward

It’s Sunday Suites time. Today let’s check out the Garden Walk Suite a little more.

The Garden Walk Suite has stamps and paper to make floral paper crafts with a modern spin. Although I think it’s a little more rustic/vintage.

The images in this suite represent flowers from all seasons, so you can create your own season-specific floral cards or projects. So it’s great for Birthdays and Christmas and Just Because cards.

Let’s have a look closer at all that is included.

The Garden Walk Suite includes:

The Modern Garden Bundle (Stamp Set and the Modern Oval Punch)
Garden Walk 6″x6″ (15.2cm x 15.2cm) Designer Series Paper
Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim 9.1m
Blooming Pearls – 120 adhesives pieces in Garden Green, Gold, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock.

The Modern Garden Bundle can be ordered as a Bundle or individually. But you can save 10% by buying it as a bundle. The stamps can be used for all occasions and make up different flower combinations. The Modern Oval Punch can be used for many different elements not just for sentiments on your projects. The Punch is 6×4.1cm, 2-3/8″ x 1-5/8″

The Garden Walk Designer Series Paper comes in 48 sheets – 6 each of 8 designs.

It contains flower patterns ranging in size from small to large. Use it as a background or try fussy cutting some of the larger flowers to use as accent pieces. Even stamp directly on the paper prints with some of the flower images. The colours in the paper are – Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat.

You want to see how it’s used though don’t you. These samples were created by Stampin’ Up! artists.

Use the punch as an element on your cards.

Use strips of the pretty Paper.

A gift bag box but check the tag?? It’s a little shaker tag with the Loose Daisy Embellishments inside.

Fussy cut some of the flowers from the paper out. But check the background too. White card was embossed with the leaves Embossing Folder and then circles diecut with the Deckled Circles Dies. Pretty cool effect!

Stamp directly on the paper.

SUNFLOWERS WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! ABUNDANT BEAUTY MASKS

October 13, 2023October 12, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Can you believe it? This was my first time at using masks of any time. And I do love how you create the layering Sunflowers from the Abundant Beauty Masks.

The colours I used was Daffodil Delight first on the flowers and then a little Pumpkin Pie in the middle of the flowers. I used Pecan Pie for the centre and then Pecan Pie for the detailed area in the centre. The leaves were with Garden Green.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett to emboss the card with an embossing folder after sponging. This one uses the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

The paper strip behind the stamped image is from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings.

This is one of the cards we were making in class today.

I have had lots of play with these masks so I will show you more soon.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #153 – TONE ON TONE WITH VERSAMARK

September 27, 2023September 27, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #153 – Get a Tone on Tone effect with Versamark Ink Pad.

The Versamark Ink Pad is what you need to use when Heat Embossing. You ink the images with Versamark before adding your powder to heat up.

BUT Versamark is great to give a Tone on Tone effect. It’s really effective but also good if you don’t have the matching ink pad. You can use Versamark to stamp the images on the card and it gives a slightly darker tone. It does look cool!
