LINING UP THE ELEGANT BORDERS DIES!

Jenny Hayward

You might have seen the gorgeous Elegant Borders Dies. They have such delicate edging to add to your cards.

You can add one edging BUT if you were to add 2 how do you line them up? Let me give you a little tip.

If the images aren’t loading I will add the descriptions below.

1. Make a mark in pencil at half way on each side of the card.

2. Line up the middle of the die with the mark.

3. Then diecut.

Hope this helps.

Here is the finished card. I used the retiring Art Gallery Stamp set. The retiring Two Tone Flora Designer Series Paper and the Elegant Borders Dies (part of the Online Exclusives).

I would love to help you grab any of these Stampin’ Up! products. See how you can order below.

Happy Stamping,

IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS WITH SCORING!

Jenny Hayward

I have a card to share with you that I shared creating on an Instagram Reel just recently. I thought I would share it with you here today.

This card uses the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies and the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I have shared lots already with it. It is so gorgeous.

You can get a look of blending in the background of the circle using one of the prints in the Hello Irresistible Paper. You don’t have the mess with it.

What I particularly wanted to point out to you is the Scored lines. See them better in this image below top and bottom of the words.

To create the scored lines:

  • Stamp the sentiment. Measure the distance below the sentiment and above giving a little space either side.
  • Flip the card over. Using the Paper Trimmer and the Scoring Blade score a line near the bottom which would be below the sentiment.
  • Score higher up which should be just above the sentiment. Score another line just above that.

You can try a scored line vertically. Try a frame around the card. There are so many options. I hope you get to try one yourself.

The Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the Hello Irresistible Paper are part of the Online Exclusives available now.

There are so many lovely exclusive products.

The Online Exclusives can be viewed Online but can be ordered through my store or directly through me as with any of the other lovely products.

SUNDAY SUITES – LOVELY IN LINEN!

Jenny Hayward

Sunday Suites today looking at the Lovely in Linen Suite Collection available in the Annual Catalogue.

This suite with the stamps and punch, Paper and Embossing Folder will create projects with a rustic style to a more elegant style. It’s a very versatile one.

The Lovely in Linen Suite Collection ($101.50 AUD) includes:

  • The lovely and Lasting Stamps and the Lasting Label Punch. Grab these individually but save 10% to get them together.
  • Lovely in Linen 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper.
  • Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Paper.

The sentiments in the Lovely and Lasting stamp set would be useful for many different occasions. The Lasting Label Punch has a very unique shape but is a good size that would work with many of your other sentiments.

The Lovely in Linen Designer Series Paper has intricate designs you can use for many of your projects. Colours in the paper are – Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Sweet Sorbet.

I think the star though is the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder. Don’t you love the intricate detail.

Check this idea out. Stamp your image and then run the card through your Emboss Machine with the embossing folder. It adds so much texture to your projects.

Now for some other samples.

This Lovely in Linen Suite and any other Stampin’ Up! products are available in my store.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #135 – DIES THAT CUT THE PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #135 – Diecut those paper images!

Stampin’ Up! are clever. A big appeal with Stampin’ Up! is the co-ordination and it is not just with the colours. The tools work with the other products too.

Have you noticed? Many dies available in a suite can be used to diecut the images on the Designer Series Paper. No snipping with scissors for many of these.

I discovered this with the Blossoming Happiness Dies on the flowers of the Hues Of Happiness Paper. And it is not just the larger flower. It is also with the smaller flowers and the leaves.

Check it out below.

I had started cutting these with scissors and then discovered this little gem so just had to share with you.

Have a happy Wednesday,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #116 – CUT THE MANY MESSAGES STAMP!

Jenny Hayward

For Wednesday’s WOW! #116 I have a little tip for you with the Many Messages stamp set. What I’m going to tell you is … cut that stamp!

Yes I know it is pretty horrific to cut in to the rubber on a stamp. Why did I cut the stamp though??

When I first got the Many Messages stamp I realised it is one big stamp. Yes I was in a hurry when I ordered and didn’t read the catalogue properly. That’s ok though. 🙂

I loved many of the sentiments on the stamp but I didn’t want to ink the whole stamp or most of it to get the one sentiment. And I didn’t want to have a multiple of sentiments sitting around waiting to be used.

So … I cut it up.


With all the sentiments now separated I could use whatever one I wanted to.

TIPS WHEN CUTTING THE STAMP

First adhere the backing sheet (stickers) with the words on it on to the stamp. To do this, only remove half of the backing sheet. Line it up with the stamp and only put the one half of the sticker on to the stamp and press it down to smooth it out. Then peel off the other half and adhere the rest of the sheet.

When cutting the stamp, have the rubber of the stamp facing up so you can see the actual stamp. Cut carefully around the words being sure to leave an edge. It is better to cut them with the rubber side up rather than following the sticker as you don’t want to cut any of the words off. Use sharp scissors and take your time. After they are all separated you can then go back to each one and trim and straighten any of the edges.

The stamps can be stored directly on to the inside back of the case.

—

Another note on the Messages Die since we are talking about this. Don’t be limited just to the stamps in the Many Messages stamp set. Although they are a bundle and work together there are many other stamps you would have in your other stamp sets where the sentiments would fit in some of these spaces in the die. Check them out and see what you can find.

I hope you find these tips helpful when using this stamp set and the Die. You will find it so much more versatile.

The Many Messages Bundle can be found in my store now -> HERE.

Have a great Wednesday,

MERRY AND BRIGHT CURVY CHRISTMAS + A VIDEO!

Jenny Hayward

I am loving the gorgeous new Quite Curvy Bundle of products we have available this week. I have been creating lots. Today I wanted to share not one but 2 projects with them.

The layouts are the same but one is a Christmas card and then I created another as a Birthday card just changing it a little. Today’s video will show you how to create them with a few tips on how to use these new products.

Check the video below.

On these cards I have used the new Classic Christmas paper in the Crumb Cake prints. There are some great prints in this pack in Crumb Cake, Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler. I have neglected the Scalloped Lace Trim but it is so soft and adds that elegant touch to your cards.

The Crumb Cake card was embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder to add a little extra texture. The bow and the bird were coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

Are you loving the Curvy Celebrations Bundle of Products? They are available to order now in my store -> HERE.

Be sure to check out my class details too. View that -> HERE. (Australian residents only at this stage).

Happy Curvy Creating.
