GLOW OF HARVEST SPECIALTY PAPER FOR AUGUST PRODUCT OF THE MONTH ~

Jenny Hayward

The Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper is this month’s Product of the Month. I have been creating with it for a few weeks now as part of the Demonstrator Council.

The paper has lovely fall/Autumn patterns. We don’t create that much for those type of occasions in Australia. It works well for other occasions though as I discovered when I started playing with it.

This is the paper.

I thought this print worked well with the cow from the Wild Bunch set. And maybe I had one already coloured – and it worked!!

You could replace the idea with something else you have.

The Glow of Harvest paper has a really nice sheen to it. Just a subtle sparkle.

You can select this paper when you place your qualifying order. In Australia if your order is over $125, Select this paper and you only pay an additional $9.

If you need to order you can head to my store -> HERE Or contact me directly and I can help you out.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPING PATTERNED PAPER WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! VIOLET DREAMS

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the Violet Dreams Suite this last week. I will share more soon but this is the card I started out with.

I wasn’t sure where to go first. This card was CASED from one from Stampin’ Up!. I just added a little more stamping and more ribbon.

I liked the idea of stamping on the paper. It’s just a subtle amount in the corner rather than all over. The flowers are pre-diecut from the paper and I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends as they had in the original.

The Fresh Freesia ribbon is so satin-ny and adds a little elegance to the card.

I like this Sending Love sentiment. I like sending out cards like that to share a little love.

This is Violet Dreams Suite including the paper, ribbon and the Framed Violets Bundle.

Have a look at the Violet Dreams Paper. I think that is my favourite part of the suite. I love the soft images and pretty purple colours.

This is a closer look at the diecut sheets from the paper.

The Violet Dreams Suite is available now Online -> HERE. Or you can contact me directly. I would love to help you get this gorgeous suite. (If you are in Australia).

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – A STITCHED SEASON!

Jenny Hayward

It’s been a while since we have done Sunday Suites. So let’s have a little Christmas in July with the ‘A Stitched Season’ Suite.

If you like the look of quilting without all the stitching yourself or you are a quilter yourself you will like this suite. Fun shapes and Festive patterns with stockings, holly and trees.

Here is all that is included in the Suite Collection.

The A Stitched Season Suite includes:

  • Stitched Stocking Bundle
  • A Stitched Season 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper
  • Real Red Stitched Ribbon (6.4mm, 1/4″) 9.1m, 10 yards
  • Adhesive Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (45) 1cm x 1cm, 3/8″ x3/8″

Let’s look at them a bit more closely.

The Stitched Stocking Bundle

This is not just for your Christmas cards but it can create some cute Christmas Stockings and other projects to dress up your Christmas.

Pair classic Christmas sentiments with quilting-inspired designs like holly and pine trees for a warm, nostalgic look. I love how you can make those stockings and dress them up how you like with a patchwork look and add some buttons and ribbon. Make them personalised too by adding some initials or names on them even??

The largest Die in this Bundle measures 8.4cm x 12.1cm, 3-5/16″ x 4-3/4″ which would be the larger stocking.

A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper

Prints for your Christmas projects to with quilt-inspired patterns. And you don’t have to spend all that time sewing them! This paper is a perfect choice for creating seasonal projects that feel warm and nostalgic.

You can dress up the diecut stockings with the patterns or any other Christmas style project. But some of these patterns would work for any occasion not just Christmas.


The colours in this paper are: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, Real Red, Secret Sea.

Now let’s see some projects that Stampin’ Up! artists have put together with them to really show off this Suite.

Are you a quilter? You would love that you can get the look of quilted projects in paper.

If you are a Cardmaker and not dabble in the sewn quilted world you will love to be able to create these type of projects with little fuss and so much less time.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny

FRIENDLY FOLIAGE FOR THE COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS CHALLENGE 212 ~

Jenny Hayward

I had a little time over the weekend to play “Just Because”. Which was fun! I don’t often get that chance. So I had a go at this week’s Colour Inkspirations Challenge 212. It has been a while since I have played along with this.

The Colours were Golden Glow, Crisp Canteloupe, Barely Blush and Lost Lagoon.

It was a bit hard with these colours. I don’t have the Stampin’ Blends or the Ink Refills in these colours or any patterned paper. So I went with the Ink Pads. We are creative people. We can work with what we have right?? 😆

I thought I would go with the “smooshing” technique. I dabbed the ink pads in random places over the large Clear Block. If you don’t have that you could use a piece of acetate. Or if really desparate grab a plate.

I then lightly spritzed the inked block with water and moved the block around a little. Then lay some watercolour paper on to the clear block and pressed over the back of the paper. Voila! It worked ok. The fun thing with this is you could put another piece of paper over and create a second one too as there was enough ink to work it.

I used the Friendly Foliage stamp set and dies. And embossed the Lost Lagoon Card mat with the new Textured Tree Rings Embossing Folder for a subtle background. The sentiment was heat embossed in Gold for a little class.

There is time to play along too if you would like to. It’s good to stretch our creativity. You can find the challenges -> HERE (on Facebook).

Happy Crafting this week with whatever makes your heart happy.

Have a great week,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! WILD BUNCH SENDING LOVE COW ~

Jenny Hayward

We can’t miss the cow with the Wild Bunch Stamp Set.

I coloured this cow with the Stampin’ Blends and layered it on some of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. I thought that paper worked well for this cow. What do you think?

It’s nice to give a card to “send some love”. Hope you get to send out a card for that soon to someone who needs a little “love”.

Have a great day,

Jenny

Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is now sold out. I hope you had a chance to get one but you can substitute the idea with something you have.

PENGUIN FRIENDS WITH THE WILD BUNCH STAMP SET ~

Jenny Hayward

It’s Penguin Friends today with the Wild Bunch set. Aren’t these just the cutest?? Lots of penguin smiles to send to a friend. I’m sure it will cheer them up.

I coloured the penguins lightly with Watercolor Pencils and fussy cut them and raised them up on to white card circles with Dimensionals. The circles were raised up too. Adding some of the Painted Illusions paper gives some extra happiness and cheer too.

Check back for more with the Wild Bunch stamp set this week.

Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is sold out. It has been so popular. If you don’t have that one you might have a different stamp to substitute with.

Happy Crafting,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SNAIL WITH THE WILD BUNCH SET

Jenny Hayward

It’s a Wild Bunch Week this week. We are starting off slow with the snail.

For this fun snail I coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends using the Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight colours for the shell and Balmy Blue for the body. The white card is embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder. It has so much detail.

Be sure to check in this week with some more cute Wild Bunch Cards.

Have a great week,

Jenny
