Stamping with Jen - How to use the Tulip dies!!

I have to admit, when I opened up my Tulip dies they looked a bit intimidating, but they really aren't! It is pretty straight forward actually.  So I thought we could make this beautiful card and see how to put them together!!!

There are so many things you can do with these dies.  The tulips they make are just gorgeous!  Can you count how many new items were used on this card???


Can you see the difference between the two cards (other than the butterflies).


I stamped the leaves in soft succulent before I cut them out with the dies in the first card.  I think it adds just that tiny touch!!

So this is a book fold, it is a very simple fancy fold card.


Do you see how the front seam is like a book binding :). 

Make sure you want my video for some tips and tricks on how to build the tulips as well as the two step stamping for the flower!!





This is the stamp set that we are featuring in our winter escapes Flowering Tulips Stamp Camp on Feb 19. Registration closes on Jan 7, so make sure you visit this link to sign up before then!!!

Happy Stamping!

Jen

Stamping with Jen - Stamping Symphony December Blog Hop

 Happy December 15th 2021 and the last blog hop of the year!  And what a year it has been. I was hopeful that we wouldn't be full fledge pandemic mode still and bracing ourselves for what is to come. But here we are.  But you know what, we still have so much to be grateful for and so many positive things to reflect on.  And one thing that I am very grateful for is my Stamping Family!! We have so much fun together and have shared our creativity together to get us through these tough times.  So for them and my friends and my family, I am thankful.  And this months blog hop theme is Thank you!!!! How appropriate eh LOL.

I finally inked up the Artistically Inked stamp set.  I fell in love with this when I saw it the annual catalogue and it has sat on my desk until now.  But isn't it just stunning.


So although there are a few layers here, it is really easy to make.  Adhesive sheets are your best friend with the intricate die cut that I used in the background to add some texture.  Then for the large flower and the leaves, I stamped off.  The sentiment is heat embossed in White embossing powder and then I added some bling from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack.

For the next card, I decided to add a little colour other than Polished Pink.  And I have a sneak peak of a super cute embossing folder that is coming up in the January to June Mini (starts Jan 4 2022) called Stripes and Splatters (I used the splatter one). The green I added was Pear Pizzazz.  For the sentiment I just stamped in Polished Pink on Basic White. Which one do you prefer?


For the inside I kept it really simple and left a large space to add a note of gratitude!


For a complete list of supplies check out below.  If you want to make this card, you can buy all the supplies from my online store  and while you are there don't forget to check out the Last Chance sale!!  Want to see how to make this card.  Watch my video here.


Make sure you hop on over to the other Stamping Symphony blogs and enjoy!!!

Blessings of Home Sneak Peak!!

 Happy December 8 2021!!! I was finally able to play with some new product from the up-coming January to June mini (2022) and Sale A Bration (2022)!! I can't wait to be able to share these amazing catalogues with you!!  So I made this card in both Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo.  Which one do you like? The first one is blushing bride.


And this one is Flirty Flamingo


For the flowers I used Soft Sea Foam on the Blushing Bride and Old Olive on the Flirty Flamingo.  It is amazing the difference a green can make!! The flowers on both are coloured with Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo blends.  I just went softer on the Blushing Bride card.

Can you see any other new products on the card? Other than the bundle I can count two on the outside and one on the inside....can you guess them????

For the inside I kept it pretty simple



I hope you enjoyed this card! Make sure you watch my video for the dimensions and to see how to put it together!!!



Hope you enjoy!

Happy stamping
