Have you seen the new Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes?? I have had mine for a couple of weeks but have just pulled them out this week. I have been having so much fun with them. How soft and delicate are the bristles!! They are lovely.

On yesterday’s Facebook Live I used the brushes on the card and shared some tips in using them.

The edited video is now on Youtube. I will add it below too. If you are receiving this blog post via email it might not show up so head to my blog or you can go to Youtube directly.

I will be sharing some more cards with the Blending Brushes very soon so watch out for them.

A couple of tips with using them though. You will want to treat them differently than the sponges or the Daubers.

When picking up the ink from the inkpad you will want to “rub gently” not dab like you might with the sponges.
Dab off a little on scrap paper first. I do this with the sponges anyway.
When applying ink to your card move in a circular motion with light pressure.
Hold the brush down towards the brush head.
If you are sponging the whole card start off the edge of the card and work lightly in.

I hope these tips help. I will put together a video soon sharing some cool ways of using the brushes.

Here is the card from the video. I have used the Dragonfly Garden on the card.

On the Dragonfly I stamped the “solid” wing stamp on the wing outline in Blushing Bride and then coloured just the tip of the wings with the Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Write Marker or you can use the Stampin’ Blends.

The Blending Brushes are available in my store now -> HERE. for $21 AUD

MERRY AND BRIGHT CURVY CHRISTMAS + A VIDEO!

November 6, 2020 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.

BUTTERFLY WATERCOLOUR WASH + VIDEO!

October 2, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Today’s card uses a fun watercolouring technique. I call it a watercolour wash. It’s a great way of colouring your images freely without worrying about staying in the lines. That’s so cool if you are not one for neat, “in the lines” colouring.

I have used the stamp set Positive Thoughts for this card.

You can check out the video below to see some tips in creating it.

Positive Thoughts is such a beautiful stamp set. I particularly love the sentiments in it.

I hope you give this idea a go. Try it with different stamp sets.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – DOUBLE LAYER CARD + VIDEO!

September 4, 2020September 4, 2020 Jenny Hayward

This card is one we made in class recently. I wanted to share this video with you today to show you how to create it.

It is with the sweet Life Is Beautiful Stamp set and is using the Double Layer Technique. That is using 2 layers of card mat that you stamp on and layer together. The card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest using the Sheltering Tree set. It didn’t have a watermark and I couldn’t tell you who created it. I changed it up a bit for this card though.
