TOP PICKS FROM 2022!

It’s been another busy year of crafting here. Thanks for following me along.

I thought I would take a few minutes and share my favourite projects from the past year. So come on a little journey with me. And click on the heading of the project to take you back to the original post and read more about them. Even catch the video of many of them.

Friendly Hello Fun Fold

I loved this gorgeous Friendly Hello Paper available for Sale-A-Bration in January. And this is great fold to show both sides of the gorgeous paper. (Must try that again).

Driving By Slider Card

This was a great stamp set to create a Slider card. But you can try this with any of your stamps. What about that Sunshine and Rainbows paper. So bright and Happy. 🙂

Waves of Inspiration (Moon Effect)

I have loved creating with the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and I was so excited when I discovered how to create the moon effect with the stamps.

Half Fold Let’s Set Sail

Let’s face it – Male cards are hard to make aren’t they?? We had a great Masculine Cards Class earlier in the year. The Let’s Set Sail stamps and punch were fun to use.

Wild and Sweet Watercolouring

The Wild and Sweet Stamp set was one of my top picks from the new catalogue in May. I don’t do a lot of colouring but I loved colouring this cute Koala. I shared some tips colouring this image in the video for this card.

Tunnel Cards with Hues of Happiness

The Hues of Happiness was another of my top picks from the catalogue. I think many people also loved this suite. The Tunnel cards I created with this has been very popular.

Winter Crafternoon with Cup of Tea Bundle

The most popular event this year with the Winter Crafternoon. It was such a fun time crafting together followed by a Devonshire Tea. Watch out for more events in the new year.

A Pocket Card with Cup of Tea Bundle

Christmas Lights Diagonal Fold

Another very popular Fun Fold from this year was the Diagonal Fold Card with the Christmas Lights Bundle. Lots of people have shared their versions with me which has been so great.

Hello Hippest Hippos Half Fold Easel Card

Is there a theme here with Fun Folds that are my favourite projects for the year. I do love a Fun Fold card. This one was the Half Fold Easel Card with the Hippest Hippos Stamp set for Sale-A-Bration.

Adventurous Journey for the adventurer

Another great stamp set for the Male cards or the adventurer is the Adventurous Journey stamp set. We had a great class with this stamp set.

Merriest Moments Candle for the 12 Days of Christmas series

It was great to be part of a collaboration to share you some fantastic Christmas projects. I kicked the 12 days series off with my project, A candle with the Merriest Moments stamps and dies. You just have to go back to that post and start the 12 Days of Christmas to check out all the projects.

I hope you have enjoyed looking back at these projects. I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming year.

To lots of creating in 2022. Come and join in with me and follow along.

STAMPIN’ UP! WAVES OF THE OCEAN PELICAN!

How gorgeous is the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper?? I am just loving it.

This card today really let’s it shine.

You don’t need much more to it. I created a frame effect with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

I just love the blue and green colours together.

This card was inspired by one I saw on my travels but I didn’t take a note of it. This was one of my cards in the recent Waves of the Ocean Cards By Mail. I think it has been a popular one and just wanted to share it with you.

Hope you have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #135 – USE THE NEGATIVE WAVE DIECUT!

Wednesday’s WOW! #135 – Use the Negative Wave Diecut. Don’t waste the gorgeous Foil when you diecut a detailed wave from the Waves Dies. Use it for another project.

I shared a card recently with the diecut wave. When I finished I saw the negative piece on some paper. It looked cool. So I added it to a card.

And also I used some of the Silver Foil to diecut a swirly edge that you would use to line the clouds. That makes a cool wave under the post. I took off the pelican but I’m thinking I need to add it at the bottom.

The Waves of Inspiration Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous. I hope you have grabbed some of that already.

You can see all the beautiful Waves of the Ocean Collection products in my store -> HERE including the gorgeous paper and the Waves Dies.

PELICAN POP WITH THE WAVES OF INSPIRATION STAMP SET!

A different card for you today with the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set.

We didn’t have the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper initially so I created some cards using other products.

For this card I used the All Together Designer Series Paper. I love the POP of the pelican in Pacific Point against the black and white.

What do you think?

While the Waves of the Ocean paper is just gorgeous (and not around for too much longer) it is great to still see this stamp set used in other ways. Hope you like it.
