Wednesday’s WOW! #151 – Flagging your Ribbon ends.
Do you like to flag the ends of your ribbon? Flagging is cutting the ends to a ‘V’ Point. Don’t try and cut the points individually. They never turn out even…
Here is a tip for you to “flag” those ends. Fold the sides of one of the ends of the ribbon together in half and make one snip to a point. The longer part – the point is towards the end of the ribbon. It makes them cut so much easier.
Hope this helps you.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #150 – Outline your dies on the card insert.
Firstly – 150 WOW’s! That’s a lot of tips and tricks with your cardmaking that I have shared over the last few years. I hope they have been helpful for you. If you have missed some you can do check the “TAGS” in the side bar on my blog for Wednesday’s WOW! and it will come up with a lot of them.
Thanks for following along with me.
For today’s tip. Do you find when you take the dies off the card sheet you can never get them back right. It’s a bit of a game of Tetris.
So BEFORE you take them off, grab a pen or pencil and trace around the dies. Then you can easily put them back in place and it will show you if any are missing. Sometimes I add a magnetic sheet to my die card so you could trace around your magnetic sheet too if you do that.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Do you find your dies wriggle around and slip when you cut them?
Here’s a tip. Add a little Washi Tape to them. Or you could add a little tape. If you use tape you may want to dab it on your clothes or something to take off some of the sticky.
Check it out below.
Do you do this already? It’s a good idea.
Hope it helps you out if you didn’t know.

Wednesday’s WOW! #147 – Comparing the 2023-2025 In Colors.
You are probably quite familiar with the 2023-2025 In Colors by now. So I won’t go in to detail about each colour but today I thought I would share some comparisons with you to other Stampin’ Up! Colours.
I have 2 great resources for you.
IN COLOR COMPARISON CHART
As in past years I have put together a Colour Comparison Chart so you can see how they look with similar colours.
Here are the 2023-2025 In Colors.
I have to say I wasn’t sure about them. But I am slowly warming up to some. When I had my Catalogue Launch a few weeks ago everyone loved Wild Wheat. I must say it is a great shade that goes with so many other colours.
Here is the 2023-2025 In Color Comparison Chart.
It’s always interesting to see how they compare. Sometimes ever so slightly.
Be sure to save the In Color Chart image that is above so you have it for reference later.
COLOR COACH CHART
Now if you would like a Color Coach Chart for the In Colors to help you when creating with them then you can download a chart. This chart helps you create with other colours using them.
You can Download it as a Photo version below or as a PDF further below.
Wednesday’s WOW! #146 –Countryside Inn and Countryside Blossoms partner together.
I was playing with the new Countryside Inn Suite. And did you know – the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder matches one of prints in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
How clever! Now that is taking the Stampin’ Up! co-ordination to the next level right!
I thought I would show you the idea for our Wednesday’s WOW! Stamping tip today.
TIPS IN DOING THIS –
Cut your piece larger than the Embossing Folder so you can line it up exactly. It’s easy to trim it to size later.
When you position it in the Embossing Folder take your time to jiggle it around a little. There will be some points that won’t exactly line up but that’s ok they are not too far off.
Here is the finished card.
The sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and diecut with the label shape in the Cheerful Daisies Dies.
The leaves are punched with the Bough Punch and then some Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon added.
What do you think? Are you going to try this?

Back with our Wednesday’s WOW for the year. These are little tips, techniques, ideas to help your crafting.
Wednesday’s WOW! #144 – A fun way to add colour to your diecut pieces.
I came across this idea and thought it was so cool. Want to add some colour?
Grab a small piece of card and your colouring pencils. Scribble some colour in patches on the card in different areas just a little larger than the die you want to use. No need to add water to blend the colour. When you diecut it the piece will have “lines” or different colourings which add some lovely colour contrasts.
Hope you get to try it out yourself.
Have a Happy Wednesday,
Jenny

Wednesday’s WOW! #143 – How to create Luminescence to your “lights”.
Here’s a different effect for your Baubles or Ornament type stamps to give that glow (luminescence).
Stamp them on a coloured card rather than white. Then with a Sponge Dauber and White Ink add a little white over them. This would work well with Embossed images preferably. How cool!
While I’m not showing you here how to do it you can see the effect.
This particular project uses the Family and Friends stamp set.
Hope you get to try it yourself.
Happy Stamping,
Jenny

Snowflakes are not typical for our warm, Summery Christmas. For some reason though many people still love them on their cards. I think it is the soft, magical effect.
These snowflakes created with the Frosted Flurry Dies are something different though. They add these partial snowflakes to your Christmas projects.
They are very simple and easy effect.
Diecut them and just gently lift the edges. Use the spatula end from the Take Your Pick Tool or use the Paper Piercer. It’s a cool effect with those slightly raised edges and adds just another dimension to your projects. With the Joyful Flurry Stamp Set you have added snowflakes but the sentiments are so soft and “magical”.
Check out these samples with this Joyful Flurry Bundle.
These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
This is the Frosted Flurry Dies.
We have the Joyful Flurry Bundle.
Getting them together will save 10% and you can use those lovely sentiments and have added stamped snowflakes on your projects.
