A WEDDING CARD IN A HURRY!

Jenny Hayward

Last Friday I was in a rush.  Josh had yet another wedding to go to.  I thought I had a wedding card made as I made up quite a few at one time a couple of months ago.  But I didn’t keep up with how many weddings he has been to lately!!!  So this was a wedding card made in a hurry.

This card changed a lot over the time I made it but in the end I went with this.  It was hard to get a good photo of it so I do apologise for the lighting.

The base is Sweet Sugarplum and the white card is embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. I only just received this folder.  I can’t believe I waited so long! The sentiment which is from Always and Forever is heat embossed by Copper Embossing Powder.  The white circle was layered on a piece of Copper Foil cut with the Layering Circle Framelits.  I played around with different things on it and wasn’t sure which way to go.  Like I had so much time to muck around with it…  In the end I cut a few of the flowers and leaves from the Flourish Thinlits.  A few loopy Copper Threads and an adhesive pearl finished it off.  

I hope you like the finished result.  Maybe I should have done 2 as there is another wedding for him to go to in a couple of weeks … 🙂

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #10 – KEEPING THOSE LITTLE DIES SAFE!

Jenny Hayward

I have a very short video to share with you today for this week’s edition of WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #10.  I don’t know about you but sometimes those tiny little dies gets buried or dropped on the floor and you spend so long looking for them.  Well! I saw an idea somewhere quite a few months ago and just recently introduced this in the classroom.  I have to say this has been fantastic!! No more lost dies! Everyone loves the idea too when they come so I thought I would share it with you.

I hope you found that useful and you might be able to adapt it to your classroom or your own craft room.

If you want to keep up with the videos I share then be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel -> HERE and if you haven’t already then be sure to Subscribe to my blog here (click on the link in the right hand column) to keep updated.

Thanks for visiting today,

ELEVENTH HOUR STAMPING FOR COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS #20!

Jenny Hayward

I had a little time this afternoon to make a quick card for the Colour Inkspirations #20 Colour Challenge.  I usually don’t stamp on a Monday with other commitments on but in between them and phone calls I got some stamping in just in time for the challenge to close.  These were hard colours this round and I wasn’t sure what I would do.  This card changed a few times along the way.

Firstly, the colours: Calypso Coral, Dapper Denim, Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke.

They look so pretty in the picture don’t they but I don’t often work with such heavy colours.  And I don’t use Always Artichoke.  I don’t even own the inkpad for it!  I used the Stampin’ Write Marker.  Here is my card.

I dusted off the Swirly Bird set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits for this one.  The sentiment is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set.  I dusted that one off too. 🙂

To finish the card I added a touch of Paper Doily under the Banner with a strip of the Calypso Coral Sheer Ribbon.  And for the “bling” factor I added a small dragonfly from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and some adhesive Pearls.

So I have posted it just in time.  If you want to check the other cards out or join in these challenges yourself then head over HERE.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER ANNIVERSARY!

Jenny Hayward

I was asked by a lovely friend to make 2 Wedding anniversary cards for 2 of her children who are both celebrating their anniversaries this month.  I haven’t made too many anniversary cards so wondered what to do.  Then … My order arrived with my Stampin’ Blends and the Always and Forever set.  🙂

These are the cards I made.

I wasn’t sure what I would do with the stamps though.  I cut some squares of white card and would see where it would take me.  I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Ink on Thick Whisper White card.  That is essential when using the Stampin’ Blends.  Then they were coloured them with the Blends.  On scrap card I stamped them again. For the tree stump I stamped it in Night of Navy and cut the little hearts and adhered them straight on to the image. For the tree rings I stamped it on Night of Navy card and cut the heart out and then raised it up with Dimensionals and added a Rhinestone to the heart.

Instead of adhering the white card to a card mat I added a strip of either Silver Foil or Copper Foil at the top and bottom of the white card.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Delightful Daisy DSP.  The sentiment is from the Best Birds set and cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits.

What do you think?

You can see the Always and Forever stamp set in my store now -> HERE.

You can find out more about the Stampin’ Blends AND don’t forget my Blends Club.  Find out about that -> HERE.

Have a great weekend,

COLOR ME HAPPY WITH THE BLENDS!

Jenny Hayward

A bonus of being a demonstrator is that we get to order the products way before customers can.  It gives us much more time to play with them.  When I first got my Stampin’ Blends a couple of weeks ago I also ordered this new set Color Me Happy.  It’s such a sweet set.  I shared these cards on Instagram and Facebook but hadn’t got to share them with you as yet.  So it seems a good time now to show you what I have been doing.

What do you think of this Color Me Happy Set.  Very cute??  This set is $47 W or $33 C.

There is also the Color Me Happy Card Kit. This kit includes card stock and all embellishments to make 16 cards. Cost is $41 which is not bad for $2.60 per card.  You would need to buy the stamp set separately to use with this set.

Whether you are wanting to order the Blends, the stamps or any other products you can shop now.

LAST DAY TOMORROW FOR PAPER AND FOR MERRY PATTERNS!

Jenny Hayward

End of October tomorrow.  Yikes! That is scary how quickly the year is speeding by.  I wanted to let you know though that tomorrow is the last day for these Stampin’ Up! specials.

Yes! If you want to grab the free pack of Designer Series Paper with the purchase of 3 then you better be quick.

Here are the ones that are available just to remind you.

Here are the papers again to see them.

You can order them in store HERE.  Choose your 3 then you can add your 4th one for free!  Ordering Online?? Please use the Host Code: BRE396PY

OR to order you can contact me directly.

While we are talking paper.  I hadn’t shown you this cute card with the Delightful Daisy DSP that is one of the listed papers.

This card was inspired by Marcy Denning on Pinterest.

Just a little strip of the Delightful Daisy Paper, one happy piggy coloured with the Aquapainters and ink and a few loopy threads.  One Happy Card I think. 🙂

———————

Another quick reminder too, the stamp set Merry Patterns is only available for one more day.  Receive it free with a minimum $450 party order (or maybe you need to stock up big!) 🙂  I have had fun playing with this set these past 2 months.  It’s sad to see it go.

This is one of the cards we made at my Stamp A Stack class on Friday.  This was inspired by a couple of different cards on Pinterest.  Gotta love that Pinterest!! 🙂
