WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #87 – EXTENDING YOUR DIES!

Wednesday’s WOW! #87.  I can’t believe I hadn’t shared this tip with you before.  I share it often in my classes.  I went searching back through my blog but can’t seem to find anything.

SO, today’s WOW!  How can you extend your Dies to fit behind a larger sentiment piece. It works with punch shapes too.

It’s very simple.  Die-cut (or punch), cut it and adhere it behind the stamped piece. It’s a great way to dress up your sentiments when you don’t have the right size.

I have done that with a different sentiment on this card here that I shared some posts back.

Hope you find this tip useful?

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

TO WELCOME MY NEW TEAM MEMBERS!

I have been going to share this card for a little while now – but so much to share!!

This card has been the recent one to welcome my new team members.  It’s always lovely to have new JEN’s INK’ers. 🙂

What more do you need with the gorgeous Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  I cut the window with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

I did cut a small flourish using the Flourish Dies from Granny Apple Green then tied on a small key from the Bird Ballad Trinkets.

This is inside.  Just stamping the birds from the Bird Ballad stamp set and the leaf in Calypso Coral.  The sentiment is from the Stamping Your Way To The Top stamp set for demonstrators.  We received this set at an Onstage event a few years ago.

I need to make some more of these.

EMBOSSED BACKGROUND WITH PLAYFUL PENGUINS!

I shared some cards with the Playful Penguins a little while ago.  This time I have a cute card for you but what I particularly want to show you is the background.

I have used the Christmas Layers Dies in the Holiday Catalogue to create this effect.

I have embossed the dies on the card rather than cutting them.

I have shared a few times how to emboss with your Dies -> HERE and -> HERE.  It’s very easy and gives you a little more versatility with them.  What a cool effect it creates!

To emboss with them you will need to change they way you layer them in your Diecut machine.  Here’s a table to help you.

Please note: the table below uses the term Big Shot.  Stampin’ Up! no longer uses the term Big Shot.  I will update this table very soon.

To finish the card the sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set and cut with one of the Ornate Frames Dies.  I added a strip of the Gold Foil under the sentiment piece that I had flagged the ends. The paper is from the Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper. 

For balance and for a little extra I added some of the Shaded Spruce Ribbon and cut a Gold snowflake to finish.

I do love these penguins.  How about you?? What about trying this effect on your next card.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

 

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #84 – NEW PAPER TRIMMER REVIEW!

Back with another Wednesday’s WOW!  I have just received the new Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer and wanted to share it all with you.  So today’s WOW! is a review video of the new Paper Trimmer. You can check it out below.

Just a few of the highlights of the Paper Trimmer that I see –

• Clearly marked measurements in both Metric and Imperial on the Trimmer base not only along the top but in the middle as well as along the bottom. This will enable you to line your  card up better to see that it is straight.
• Measurements clearly seen in the “gap” where the arm moves out from the side. Previously they were not shown so it was a little guesswork of the measurements.  For me this is a BIG PLUS!
• A wider cutting base to cut cardstock.
• Blades are larger which I think will enable better cutting – and hopefully longer lasting blade wear.
• The ability to cut tiny strips of card without any problem.

The Paper Trimmer is now available for Demonstrators.  You can include that in your Starter Kit when you join Stampin’ Up! this month.  It will be available Very Soon for customers.

I will be posting here further updates but if you would like to be notified personally then drop me a comment or email and I will advise you when it is released.

In Australia it will be available for purchase for $44 AUD.  Replacement Blades will be available to order also for $21 AUD for a pack of 4.

I will tell you more when this trimmer will be available as I know.

Thanks for visiting,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – LET IT SNOW!

I am back with another Sunday Suite today.  Before the weather heats up too much here I thought we should look at this cute Let It Snow Suite.  We don’t usually get snow at Christmas.  Well I can’t say never because strange things have happened … 🙂

Snowmen are not usually the first thing we think about for Christmas though with the heat and we are usually making sand men rather than snowmen.  But you gotta love these cute snowmen.

This is all the products available in the Let It Snow Suite Bundle.  You can buy them all with one item code (#153386 $230.25 AUD)

You can purchase the items individually too.

The Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper.  You really need to see this paper closer (HERE).  It has glittery patterns on one side and the other side is more versatile prints you could use at any time of the year.

Red Glimmer Paper is back!! I am really happy this lovely shiny paper is available again.  $8.75 AUD for 2 sheets 12″x12″

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.  This is a fun product.  Run it on to your project like a liquid glue.  Heat it up and see it puff up. You will just want to leave it a little time to let it set.

Way cool!  $7.75 AUD

Here are some samples with this fun suite.  You just have to love those snowmen having a fun time in the snow.

The little Tiny Keepsakes boxes are really sweet.  They make little treat holders measuring (5.4 x 4.8 x 4.8 cm).  Just the size for a chocolate or 2.  These are made with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies ($59 AUD) or the bundle with the stamp set is $84.50 AUD

You can see more details about the Let It Snow Suite at my store -> HERE and order.  Please use the Host Code: 6CCRNYH6

Happy Stamping,

SUNDAY SUITES – TOILE TIDINGS!

Today’s Sunday Suite is the Toile Tidings Suite in the Holiday Catalogue.  Lots of lovely products in this suite and all in the traditional red and green for Christmas.  Let’s check it out.

The Toile Tidings Suite Bundle. One Item code and it makes it easier than picking each item. $252 AUD It seems a lot but look at all you get.

The Toile Christmas Bundle.  I have to say I wasn’t sure about the Cardinal.  It is very popular in the US and perhaps in other parts but we don’t have them in Australia.  They are apparently a very symbolic bird though.  Which is interesting.

There is also another stamp and die bundle.  The Tidings All Around Bundle. I love that wreath.  Isn’t it gorgeous?

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper in the traditional red and green – Garden Green and Real Red.

In addition to the 12″x 12″ paper there is the Toile Tidings Gift Wrap.  This is 4 sheets in total.  2 Sheets each of 2 designs.  Each sheet is 24″ x 36″ or 61cm x 91cm.  Great for those larger gifts.

I have to say I love these Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots.  So sparkly!

Let’s see some more projects.

Do you like the Toile Tidings Suite?  Do you have Cardinals in your area?  It would be interesting to see.

The Toile Tidings Suite is available now in my store -> HERE.  When ordering please use the Host Code: 3JU96AZN

Receive the Tutorial Bundle free of 12 projects with your qualifying orders.  (Projects not including the Toile Tidings Suite)
