WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #147 – 2023-2025 IN COLOR COMPARISONS

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.

Just click on the link below.

Hope you find these resources helpful when you come to create your projects with these In Colors.

Tell me though, what is your favourite new colour?

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #146 – COUNTRYSIDE PARTNERS ~

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?

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #145 – SO MUCH INSPIRATION ON ONE CATALOGUE PAGE

Do you just pause at a page in the catalogue and study all the gorgeousness on it?

I couldn’t help but stop at this one of the By the Bay Suite. It’s page 22 of the current Mini Catalogue. So much inspiration on one page!

I noted them all down so you can see for our Wednesday’s WOW! #145.

Let’s have a look.

Aren’t they amazing ideas! What are you going to try?

Happy Wednesday,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #144 – ADD COLOUR TO YOUR DIECUTS

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 – ADD LUMINESCENCE TO YOUR BAUBLES

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

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #142 – PARTIAL SNOWFLAKES!

Wednesday’s WOW! #142 – Creating Partial Snowflakes.

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.

If you need these Dies or even the Bundle you can jump over to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code:JCBE3B2U

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #141 – WHAT’S THIS LOVELY LAYERS VELLUM!

Wednesday’s WOW! #141 – See the Lovely Layers Vellum.

You might have missed this vellum in the Annual Catalogue. You can find it on page 93 and p139.

I love using vellum on projects. It adds a subtle softness. This vellum though comes printed in various patterns. You can use them as they are directly on your projects. But did you know you can stamp on this vellum too to add that extra dimension??

Check these samples out below. Created by Stampin’ Up! artists.

On these projects below.

Left – Stamp directly on the vellum. Be careful using Classic Inks as the ink will slip on the vellum paper. Allow to dry completely too.

Centre – Layer the Vellum on coloured card. See how it changes the colour of the pattern.

Right – Use the Vellum directly to the project and layer other elements to the front.

For this project below apply colour to the back of the vellum with the Stampin’ Blends. Then swirl the colours with the Water Painter and Rubbing Alcohol. Allow to dry.

A different Look for this one. Add strips of the different vellum patterns but stamp on them first.

The Lovely Layers Vellum can be purchased individually. Also as a bundle in the Botanical Layers Bundle.

This is the bundle below. $46.25 AUD. You can also see it in store -> HERE.

In Australia and want to give this vellum a try? Head to my store at the above link. Or contact me directly and I can add it for you.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #140 – MAKE YOUR OWN PEARLIZED DOTS AND STRIPES!

Wednesday’s WOW! #140 – Pearlized Dots.

This is so cool. You can create your own shiny, pearly dots or lines with the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics.

See them below.

The Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics come in 3 little bottles (1oz or 29.5g each), in Red, Black and White lacquer.

With them you can create some really special elements for your projects.

• Outline your stamped images to add some extra depth.
• Add extra details like dots or lines.
• Add detail to part of a stamped image or other embellishment piece.
• Write words to give a “raised” effect.
• Draw shapes like stars or hearts.

Here are some ideas how to use them.

Add little dots around the wreath to create little “berries”.

Add the white to the end of the Textural Elements or similar to make a shiny surface.

How would you use it?

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #140 – USING EMBOSSING PASTE!

Wednesday’s WOW! #140 – Ways to use the Embossing Paste.

Have you used the Embossing Paste? I have to admit I haven’t nearly enough. If you like adding that extra texture to your projects then this paste would be just the thing.

Let’s see how to use it.

The Embossing Paste comes in little tubs. 4oz or 1.18ml. You can get it in Matte finish or Shimmery White which has a little sparkle.

With a little spatula you can scrape on your paste. Use it directly on your projects to add texture or use it through a mask for an effective pattern. There are masks available but you could also use a diecut shape on Foil Sheet or acetate to apply the paste through it.

Leave it to dry for some time before completing the project or you can use the Heat Tool gently to speed up the process.

See the effect with the different masks available. Apply it all over or just in sections for your project. Be sure to wash off your masks straight away.

Try colouring the paste.

In a small container mix together drops of reinker to a little paste. The more reinker, the more intense the colour is. Then apply the paste as you would.

This project below uses a diecut shape using the Aspen Tree Dies. The shape was cut in Silver Foil as this is more rigid than card. Apply some Embossing Paste adding the coloured paste to the lower section and then add some plain paste to the top section. It adds some lovely texture.

It is hard to see in the photo clearly sorry. Project created by Stampin’ Up! artists.

You can find the Paste in my store.

For the Matte Embossing Paste ($14.00 AUD), See it -> HERE.

For the Shimmery Embossing Paste ($15.75 AUD), See it -> HERE.

Go and grab some and add texture to your next project.

Shop in store at the above links or contact me directly and I am happy to help you out.

Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #138 – THE HOTTEST HIPPEST HIPPOS!

Wednesday’s WOW! #138 – Check out the Hippest Hippos.

Some cute little hippos are in town. I couldn’t help but tell you about them for our Wednesday’s WOW! this week.

Hippest Hippos and the Hippo Dies are available for Sale-A-Bration. You can choose each one with orders over $90 AUD.

The Hippest Hippos stamp set is really cool. But let’s really take a moment to notice the Hippo Dies though.

See them in the video below.

You can dress up your hippos to be really well …hip. Create a snorkelling hippo, a hippo splashing about in a tub, or walking along in the rain, maybe a dancing hippo, or just a sweet little hippo sending you some love. It’s lots of fun.

Check out these samples from Stampin’ Up! artists.

Aren’t they cute?

And just a note on that sunrays card. It is stamped with the Rays of Light Background stamp, then each sunray is cut along the lines. Some are lifted up and some are even cut out. Pretty cool idea!

So are you going to add the Hippos to your next qualifying order??

They would be fun cards for lots of different occasions.

Happy Wednesday,
