STAMPIN’ UP! HIPPEST HIPPO AND PICTURE THIS!

For today’s card we have the Hippest Hippos Stamp Set. I wanted to use the Picture This Dies.

With the Picture This Dies I added some different pieces of pretty Happiness of Hues Paper and also added texture with some co-ordinating card embossed with different folders (Bark 3D, Splatters and the Gingham Folders)

I like the fun, bright colours in this card. And that hippo … You can’t help but smile when you see him.

And … You really are the best too so don’t forget that.

The Hippest Hippos Stamp set is one you can pick with your qualifying orders over $90 AUD for Sale-A-Bration. The Hippo Dies you can select with another $90.

There are lots of other choices though too. Even some catalogue choices. Have you checked them out?

You can view all the Sale-A-Bration choices online -> HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #139 – 3 WAYS TO COLOUR THE FOILS PAPER!

Wednesday’s WOW! #139 – Add colour to the Silver and Gold Foils.

You might have seen the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper available for Sale-A-Bration? Of course you can leave it as it is but why not have some fun with it and colour it. There are a number of different ways you can do that.

The Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper have embossed designs on them. There are dots and stripes in Silver and in Gold. The dots or stripes will resist the ink when you add colour so you have nice shiny additions to the colour. Once you add the colour just wipe off lightly with a tissue to remove any excess ink on the foil parts.

Let me show you 3 Ways to add colour to this paper.

1. Use the Blending Brushes to add colour. Use one colour or a number of colours and brush over a piece of the paper. (bottom left)

2. Use markers to add additional coloured stripes on the striped print. Using 2 colours will add an extra pizzazz to your cards. (right).

Of course you can leave it plain as a lovely background and add extra stamped images or elements on the card. (top left)

3. Stamp directly on to the Foils with regular Classic Ink Pads. You will have the “embossed” lines or dots run through it but it adds a cool effect. (below)

Want some more ideas with colouring Foils Paper?

A few years back there was some other range of Foils Paper. I shared a few projects using them way back then. Check out the posts -> HERE and -> HERE. Or you can do a search for Springtime Foils Paper on my blog.

Below is the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper. It is a pack of 24 sheets in 6″x6″ size. 12 each in 2 patterns (stripes and dots) and in 2 colours (silver and Gold).

And bonus, it is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90 AUD. (Only while supplies last).

Grab it now with your orders (or grab any of the other great Sale-A-Bration choices.

HAND-PENNED CARD SET WITH BASIC BORDERS DIES!

Today I have 5 very simple cards to share with you. I created these as samples for my launch a few weeks ago. I have used the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.

They might be simple but let me tell you what they show.

1. They show a different print of the gorgeous Hand-Penned paper on each card.
2. They show a decorative edge with a different die from the Basic Borders Dies.
3. Each card has a different sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set cut with a different shape from the Messages Die.
4. Each card has co-ordinating ribbon as an accent. The ribbon is the White Crinkled Seam Binding coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. (How cool is it to be able to get matching colours)

To finish I added an Opal Round or an Adhesive Pearl on each one.

I have added a vellum leaf under the sentiment punched out with the Sprig Punch.

Cards in a hurry that’s what they are. Probably the longest part was colouring the ribbon.

Check them out closer.

Mint Macaron

Daffodil Delight

Highland Heather

Cinnamon Cider

Blushing Bride

Very simple but I hope you like them.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

UNDER MY UMBRELLA CARD ON A RAINY DAY!

The other day I decided to play just because. No creating for classes, blog posts, Youtube, Challenge cards, Thank You cards. I just decided to pull out a set to create. I very rarely do that. (Maybe I should do it more too).

It was grey and rainy here and has been for some time. By looking at the weather it’s going to be raining for some time still. That doesn’t matter when you can just pull out card and ink and play.

I grabbed the Under My Umbrella stamp set. Maybe because it was raining. Here is the card. I was surprised it didn’t take long to put together.

The images were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.

You can find the Under My Umbrella stamp set in my store -> HERE. Don’t forget the Umbrella Punch too. That makes cutting the umbrellas out so easy. You do need to fussy cut the boots.

Have a happy day. If it’s raining where you are keep safe and dry.

HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK POP OUT SWING CARD + VIDEO!

Friday Flicks. I have a fun card for you in today’s video. This video is a replay from my Facebook Live on Wednesday. I created a Pop Out Swing Card with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle. I have made a few of these over the years and I love making them. It has been a while so thought I would pull it out again and freshen it up.

Here is the card for you first.

Check it out on the video. (If you are receiving this via email then the video may not show. Head to the blog post by clicking on the title above or head to Youtube).

It is now also uploaded to Youtube -> HERE. (Have you subscribed to my Youtube channel yet. I’m shooting for 200 subscribers by the end of the month so head on over there) 🙂

MAKE YOUR OWN POP OUT SWING CARD

The video will show you the details. I will give you general details and measurements below.

Base card is a standard size card. Designer Series paper is 4mm (1/8″) smaller. I used the Balmy Blue pattern in the Subtles pack New demonstrators receive free in Sale-A-Bration. (They will receive a pack from each Colour Collection. 200 6″x6″ in total valued at $100)

I used the Layering Squares Dies for the window cut-out. You can use a circle or rectangle also if you wish.

The inside White card measures. 15.2cm x 12.8cm (6″ x 5″). Score at 5cm and 10cm. (2″ and 4″). Adhere to the inside of the card with the white card in the folded position. ONLY place adhesive on the back of the right hand section. Centre it inside the card to the right and at the top and bottom. Close up the card and adhere the square panel in through the window to adhere to the white bi-folded card. Only place adhesive on the back on the right hand section.

FINE ART FLORAL THANK YOU CARDS!

I like making little Thank You cards for my customers for when they order with me. I couldn’t help this month to use the new gorgeous Fine Art Floral Suite.

The Smoky Slate card base was stamped with the flower a couple of times with Smoky Slate ink. For the white card piece. Firstly diecut the white card with the scalloped rectangle frame from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Some tips with stamping the flower.

I first inked it with Old Olive and before stamping I used the Blender Pen to wipe off the Old Olive Ink on the small flower heads. To do this, swipe with the Blender Pen and rub off the ink on to scrap paper. Keep doing this until the ink is off. It takes a couple of goes. Then coloured them with a Blender Pen dipped in Pumpkin Pie ink. Then you can stamp it on the white card. With the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends I coloured a little dot on the flowers.

I stamped the flowers again in Pumpkin Pie ink on to scrap white card and used the small detail flower stamped in Poppy Parade. Diecut the flower using the Floral Gallery Dies. I snipped off the stem on this one then raised the flower head up off the card Dimensionals. I love the extra height and dimension you get that way.

If you order with me this month you will get to receive one of these cards. 🙂

Stop by my store to order -> HERE or you can contact me directly and I will help you out.

Thank you for your orders. I know you will love the products when you get that package on your doorstep. 🙂

QUITE CURVY CARD IN CALYPSO CORAL!

Today’s card was created in my Facebook Live on Wednesday. Yes! I have ventured in to doing Lives. This is something I have put off for so long. But I am hoping that each Wednesday afternoon I can share a card with you on Facebook.

The video is now on my Youtube channel and I will post it here for you. For the card I used the Quite Curvy Bundle. I am loving these stamps and dies.

Here is the card.

The leaves were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I used the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder and the sentiment piece is diecut with the Tasteful Labels Dies.

I had made one of these cards before the Live for a swap card in my JEN’s INK Team Facebook Group. It was great to get some of my team creating for that. I will share the other swap cards soon. The card I made for the swap was in Highland Heather.
