NEW WONDERS TRIO!

June 10, 2019June 10, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I don’t really do cute-sy, But I really loved this sweet set New Wonders in the catalogue. It arrived recently and of course had to have a play.

Disclaimer: I am not great at colouring. And I will try and avoid it if I can. I will say though that this set makes colouring a whole lot easier. The designers of this set have created shadows in the images so I just followed these to give the different depths of colour. A bit like Colour by number except with shading instead.

Here are the trio of cards for you.

I will show you them individually to get a closer look.

This one above was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The Highland Heather mat is embossed with the Lace 3D embossing Folder.

The top one here is coloured with the Stampin’ Blends as well. I have to say this was the second attempt at colouring this one. It wasn’t going well. I outlined the little fairy image with the Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends to give it some dimension. It’s much softer than the grey I usually use. I have used the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder with this one. I love the sweet sentiments in this set too. Behind the diecut circle the image is on I diecut a scalloped circle in the Dazzling Glimmer Paper. That is a little hard to see though.

This one above in Rococo Rose is coloured with the Watercolor Pencils. While the Stampin’ Blends are easy to use I do prefer to colour with the pencils. I feel I have a little more control with the colours. To highlight the “hi” I gave it a light wash with the Daffodil Delight pencil and washed it a little with the Aquapainter. I have used the gorgeous Scalloped Lace Trim on each card.

Do you like this set? It’s a sweet one.

This New Wonders set is a Host set and only available as a Host of an event when the total orders are over $250 AUS OR if your own orders are over $250. I have had a few of those already with people stocking up on all the gorgeous products in the catalogue.

Shop in my store now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code EUEAGC3N

Thanks for stopping by. And if you are in Australia I hope you have enjoyed the Long Weekend. Maybe extra time to create. 🙂

MAGNOLIA LANE MEMORIES AND MORE CARDS!

June 6, 2019June 6, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Since I have been sharing about the Good Morning Magnolia suite this week I thought I would share these cards. Since the Magnolia suite is just so gorgeous I had to get these Magnolia Lane Memories and More cards. I don’t do a lot of memory keeping (well very little) but these are not just for your memory keeping/scrapbooking. They make the most absolutely gorgeous cards.

Here are two I made recently.

The top one I used 2 of the cards. The larger one and the small size. The large one was adhered to a Petal Pink card base. For the smaller card I stamped the sentiment from the Bird Ballad stamp set in Mossy Meadow card. Added some of the gorgeous Petal Pink ribbon and raised that up off the card with Dimensionals.

This next one I added the larger card to a Mint Macaron card base. Before I did that I wrapped around some Mint Macaron ribbon. The smaller card was already printed so I just raised that up off the card with Dimensionals.

These cards are so quick to make up.

With some of these smaller cards in the set I made up some little Thank you tags for the gift packs I made for my Catalogue Kick-off last weekend BUT … I forgot to take any photos. I couldn’t believe it!

Hope you like the cards though.

You can grab these Magnolia Lane Memories and More card pack in my store -> HERE. You get 50 Cards (2 each of 25 designs) for only $19.25 AUS. There is also some vellum cards and some gorgeous Magnolia stickers. Please use the Host Code: EUEAGC3N when you order. You need to get these.

Everyone who purchases these this week will receive a sampler of the Mint Macaron and the Petal Pink ribbon as a little Thank You.

Thanks for stopping by.

HELLO 2019 INCOLORS!

June 3, 2019June 2, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I shared a card last post with the new Incolors. Today I wanted to look a little closer at them.

I put together a comparisons chart to show you how the 2019-2021 InColors compare with other current colours. I like to do this each year and everyone who comes along to my studio like to look at it closely. It gives you a good idea.

On the chart below the new Incolors are marked with an asterix (*).

Rococo Rose – It’s like a dusky pink. It’s very popular at the moment in fashion and even decor. Have you seen this colour around? It’s not as bright as Flirty Flamingo but darker then Blushing Bride.

Purple Posy – I will be honest, sometimes I am not sure of this colour. At times it can appear a bit washed out while other times it gives a subtle purple shade. It is certainly much lighter than the popular Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

Pretty Peacock – Another popular shade in fashion at the moment. I was out shopping today and saw so many clothes in this colour. I did tell my daughter it was Pretty Peacock. She just rolled her eyes. I don’t understand. 😉 I didn’t compare this to the Shaded Spruce or Garden Green here but when I looked at them earlier I find this is not as bright a green which is nice.

Terracotta Tile – When I pulled all the colours out I was amazed how close in colour it is to Calpso Coral. I do use this colour a lot so maybe this will be a good alternative sometimes. I will see about it. It has a more pinkier tones perhaps?? And too it is another popular colour in the clothing range.

Seaside Spray – I quite like this shade of blue. I have to say it was very popular at my Catalogue Kick off events over the weekend. It is not as bright a blue as the Balmy Blue. I think it is a nice blue for sea and sky stamping.

So I am not sure of what colour is my favourite as yet. I am warming more to them each time I use them so stayed tuned for further projects and how I use them.

What is your favourite? Can you take the quick poll please. It will be interesting to see what everyone thinks.

SUNSET WITH THE 2019 STAMPIN’ UP! INCOLORS!

May 31, 2019May 31, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Ok, maybe this is a bit of a loose title but hey sometimes it’s hard to be creative with blogging. 🙂

I have been playing with the new 2019 Incolors lately. I will say when I first saw them I was a bit blah! BUT now I have been playing with them a bit I am really warming to them. I will talk to you more about them in a later post but I thought we would start with this card today. I wanted to use all the Incolors together.

I thought this reminded me of a sunset over the ocean. That’s what it is like where I live anyway. We have Pretty Peacock at the bottom for the grass under the lighthouse, Seaside Spray for the water, Purple Posy as the sky is changing, a little more pink with Rococo Rose and the orange with the Terracotta Tile. Can you see it now??

Here is my inspiration. This is our local lighthouse in Wollongong. The sky wasn’t that orange this night unfortunately but it can get quite intense. You just have to imagine it.

To create the card I cut equal strips of the Incolors then adhered them to a piece of Whisper White card. This was a lot easier to line them up. Also since I was embossing it with the Subtle Embossing Folder it made it easier to run through the machine.

I used the new Sail Away stamp set which is a really cool one. Watch out for more with this.

Stay tuned for more creating with the Incolors too. Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #69 – REATTACHING THE LOCK BUTTON ON YOUR STAMPIN’ UP! PUNCHES

May 29, 2019June 4, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Do you have this problem? The lock mechanism on your punches pop out and you can’t get them back in. I found this video on Youtube to help you get them back in and to stop it happening in the first place.

So for Wednesday’s WOW! #69 – how to reattach the lock on your punches. I tried it and it works.

Thanks Kat for this video. It was very helpful.

Now you can go off and fix those little locks on your punches.

Have a great day,

TIME TO CELEBRATE WITH EVERYTHING IS ROSY!

May 28, 2019May 27, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I have another card for you with the Everything is Rosy Medley. I think this one might be one of my favourites.

I had a small piece of this pretty flowery pattern from the paper pack. It’s a shame that you can’t see the shiny Rose Gold embossed flowers. If you have this paper you will know what I mean. Most of the pieces in the pack have some Rose Gold embossing on it.

I cut this flowery piece in half then added them on to a white card mat with a strip of Melon Mambo. This card strip is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder but it is hard to see in the photo.

Before you add the piece to your Night of Navy card base wrap some of the Night of Navy ribbon around. This ribbon is gorgeous. I would love to have more of this ribbon. It has the Rose Gold Metallic edge to it. Just divine!

With the Rose Gold Diecuts in the pack simply stamp one of the sentiments on the piece and add that to your card front. I diecut one of the leafy pieces in the dies set in Melon Mambo card just for an added touch.

Have you got this medley yet? Have you enjoyed creating with it? You don’t realise how gorgeous it is until you unpack it do you.

If you plan on getting the Everything Is Rosy product Medley you need to be quick. There is only a few days left. I know it is a larger expense ($139 AUS) but I will tell you it is so much value. Someone calculated it to be over $180 in value. You really won’t be disappointed. Although I think you will be disappointed if you miss out.

Head to my store now -> HERE to pick one up. Please use the Host code: EUEAGC3N

After your order is placed I will send you out an email with the 12 Free Tutorial projects for this month (These are not including Everything is Rosy projects).
