Stitched So Sweetly Dies – Page 2

Moving along on our Beautiful Moments Showcase Week. Day 3. This card is a little different. I don’t know what you might call it but I call it a Top Panel Card. I will share the instructions below.

The base card is a little smaller than the standard size allowing you to have a panel overhanging the edge.

Of course, you could do the base any size but for this one, the base card measures 21cm x 10.5cm scored at 10.5cm. (8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 4 1/4″). The paper mat is slightly smaller 4mm (1/8″).

The stamped piece is watercolor card cut with the larger die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The image was stamped in Black Stazon and coloured with the Watercolor Pencils and washed over lightly with the Aquapainter. When the watercolor card was cut it left some scratches on the other side. (maybe because my plates are scratched!). I didn’t want it showing on the reverse so I adhered a piece of White card on the back.

The sentiment was also stamped on watercolour card to match the stamped piece. The sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set. It was stamped in Black Stazon so I could do a light colour with the Daffodil Delight pencil and lightly wash it. The flourish piece behind the sentiment is from the Flourish Dies.

Check back tomorrow for Day 4 of our Showcase using this lovely set.

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS WEEK – DAY 1 – BEST DRESSED GIRLS!

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020 Jenny Hayward

This week I am showcasing the Beautiful Moments stamp set. Such a beautiful one with line art images ready for colouring. I am not great at colouring but I am working on it.

Today’s card uses the sweet little girls.

The images were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and cut with my new favourite dies the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The paper is from the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper pack and seemed to fit the image so well. Before adding the stamped piece on to the card and looped some Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. It was stamped on a strip of Mint Macaron card and then I cut the end on an angle adding some Sparkle Glimmer Paper behind it.

Watch out for more cards with this stamp set this week.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

A FRUITY TAG WITH THE TROPICAL OASIS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!

February 23, 2020February 23, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I meant to show you this a while ago. I had my ALOHA Catalogue Kick-Off a few weeks ago. This was the tag I made up to go on everyone’s gifts that came along to the fun event. This is using the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.

The strip of paper was 5cm wide by about 10cm long. (2″ x 4″). I cut a piece of white card to that size and adhered it on the back of the paper to make it more rigid but also so I could write a little Thank You message on it.

The corners were punched with the Detailed Trio Punch. To decorate it I heat embossed the pineapple in Copper Embossing Powder. It was nice and shiny although you can’t see that in the photo.

From red card I diecut a small frame from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to adhere the pineapple to. They were raised up with Dimensionals. Thread through some of the Mint Macaron Sheer ribbon to finish it off.

They were quick to make once I embossed and cut all the pineapples. To make it quicker you could just stamp them.

Have a great day,

Jenny

STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD FEBRUARY BLOGHOP – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

February 11, 2020February 11, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Time for another Blog Hop with the Stamping Around The World Tutorial Group. This month I am sharing a project with the Happy Birthday To You stamp set as that is the stamp set I used for the Tutorials this month.

I wanted to try something a little different with the dies. I wanted to layer up the flowers on the card to give more dimension. A bit like the old Paper Tole effect. You can tell in the photo how it looks.

I stamped the cake from Happy Birthday To You on white card 3 times. I used Basic Gray ink as it is a little softer. I coloured just the cake on one, and then the flowers on the other 2 cakes. They were coloured with Stampin’ Blends (Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive). The cake was coloured with Mint Macaron.

On one of the cakes (the one without the flowers coloured in), I cut the full cake out with the Birthday Dies. On the other two cakes I cut the flowers out with the flower die. On one of these diecut flowers I trimmed off the top flower to have just a single flower.

Then diecut some leaves from Old Olive and Mint Macaron and adhere them behind the flowers before assembling them together. You will find it so much easier – trust me!! 😉

After all the diecutting you can layer the cake together using Dimensionals to layer up the flowers. The full diecut flowers was layered on to the diecut cake and then the single flower was raised up on top of these flowers. If that makes sense? So there were 3 layers with the top flowers. Check the photo below to see it.

To finish the card I adhered a piece of the Perennial Essence paper on to a white card mat and then they were adhered to a Flirty Flamingo card base.

A rectangle from Vellum was cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. To adhere this to the card I added a little Snail Adhesive behind where the cake would be and then the cake was adhered on to the Vellum with Dimensionals.

The little sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings and cut with the cute little shape in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Just a reminder that the Stamping Around The World are put together by 12 Demonstrators from around the world. You can receive these tutorials as a Thank you for ordering from one of us. Or you can purchase the Tutorials from me for $20 AUD.

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE CARD!

February 7, 2020February 6, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I have created lots with the Tropical Oasis Suite recently getting ready for my launch last weekend. I forgot to take photos of the actual event which was a shame. We had a lot of fun with Hawaiian music and a lei greeting. And lots of creating. I will share photos of the projects shortly.

This card was a sample I made to show. I wasn’t sure what to do with the pineapple die from the In The Tropics die set. I found a card on Pinterest HERE that I CASED. I simplified it and changed it a little. This was my card.

Isn’t the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper gorgeous? On the leaves of the pineapple I sponged a little Old Olive Ink and lifted the leaves up for some dimension.

The sentiment was stamped on white and cut with the tiny curvy die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I just added a small strip of the Braided Burlap Trim and frayed out the end.

Hope you like my pineapple card.

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD JANUARY BLOG HOP – TROPICAL OASIS!

January 14, 2020January 14, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Back with another Blog Hop from some of the Stamping Around The World Tutorial group.

The monthly tutorials are put together by a number of demonstrators from around the world and we send the tutorials out as a Thanks for ordering OR you can purchase the tutorials too. I send one tutorial project out as a Thanks for people when they join my newsletter too. (see the link in the side column)

For the projects with these Blog Hops we use the same stamp sets/dies that we used for our own tutorial project for that month. This month I have a project for you using the Tropical Oasis bundle. I am loving this bundle for it’s freshness and memories of a tropical paradise. I have been to Hawaii a few times so this brings back lovely memories.

Enough waffling – on to my project as that is what you all really came to see.

This card was designed from a sketch like this one -> HERE.

The sketch had an angled focus piece which I have created with the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper. I think on looking at this now I should have angled the paper piece a little more.

The white card was embossed with the new Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

The hibiscus flower and the leaves from the Timeless Tropical Stamp set were stamped on Shimmery White card with Black Stazon and coloured with the Watercolor Pencils.

TIP: when colouring, lightly colour and use the Aquapainter to wash over the colour slightly. LET IT DRY! Don’t be in a hurry. Allow time to dry. It doesn’t take too long. Then add some more colour to add a little more depth of colour. Wash over it again then allow to dry. Then go back over it and add highlights. It is a slow process I know but it gives you that depth of colour. It’s easier to add colour than take it away.

Before adhering the flower and leaves on to the card I added some loops of the Linen Thread behind them.

The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake card and cut with my new favourite the Stitched So sweetly Dies. I added a little of the Braided Burlap Trim under the sentiment and just fluffed up the end of it. To do this with your fingers rub the end and separate the threads until you are happy with it. To adhere it to the back of the card I added a strip of the Tear and Tape on the back of the sentiment card piece and stuck the trim onto that.

ESAD 2020 MINI CATALOGUE AND SALE-A-BRATION BLOG HOP!

January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Time for another ESAD Blog Hop. This time we are sharing projects from the new 2020 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created. You might have come from Cathy’s Blog -> HERE or starting from this blog. The full list of participants will be below.

Firstly with the Blog Hop. What is ESAD anyway??

Now for my project. It’s a very hard decision to work out what you are going to use with these Blog Hops. There are so many new and exciting products. What’s a person to do?? 🙂 In the end I chose to use the new So Sentimental Bundle because I love the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I think many people will love them. I have made a few projects with them recently but today I have this one to share with you.

I created a card and a little treat holder with the Kraft Pillow boxes.

With the card you don’t need too much with the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Add a piece of this to a Granny Apple Green card mat and add this to the Poppy Parade card base. The Granny Apple Green is not a colour that is featured in the paper but I think it gives it a little POP against the Poppy Parade colour.

The sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set was stamped on white and cut with one of the label shapes in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set. This was layered on to a piece of Granny Apple Green cut with one of the other label die shapes. It’s hard to tell but I embossed the green card with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

I tied around some Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Wait, what?? Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Where is that in the catalogue??

It’s actually the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon on p 25 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue. You can create any colour ribbon you like with the Stampin’ Blends.

Check it out below. Just run along the ribbon with the Stampin’ Blends Marker. It dries quickly and ready to use on your projects.

Now for the Treat Holder.

Assemble the Kraft Pillow Box. Then wrap a strip of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper around the Pillow Box. I wrapped around some more ribbon I had coloured around the box too.

The label for this box was using a different stamp in the So Sentimental stamp set and cut with different dies in the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The Granny Apple Green card was embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder as well.

If you haven’t noticed the So Sentimental Bundle you can find it on p 20 of the Mini Catalogue. It has the different label shapes and Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies of varying sizes. Great for layering together. Available for $56 AUD.
