CHEVRON TRAVELER!

July 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I wasn’t sure of this stamp set when I first saw it. How about you?? But with all my stamps before I buy them I do a little research on the internet to see what clever people have created with these sets. Sometimes I have a look at some cards with similar stamps or style that the set has. It gives me some ideas of what I might come up with. I decided that this set might just fill a hole in my masculine stamp sets – and I have to say I like it. I was playing around with this set the other day and created this card.

I was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers with a similar type of stamp set. I changed it a little and added the Starburst circles to it too.

The base card is Smoky Slate and I embossed a piece of Tangerine Tango card with the Chevron Embossing Folder. I stamped the train in black Stazon on Whisper White card and added the Washi Tape strips on the corner. This was adhered to a Smoky Slate card mat. The Starbursts were stamped in Tangerine Tango and Smoky Slate and raised up with Dimensionals. A simple card but HEYyou don’t need fancy for the boys 😉

Thanks for visiting me today.

SOMETHING FOR – A BABY BOY!

July 4, 2014July 4, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have a few baby cards to make at the moment and the set ‘Something For Baby’ has just arrived in time. If you have baby cards to make this set is great. I will tell you about the set below but I will show you the card first.

I have used Marina Mist and Real Red on this. I cut the little baby suit using the ‘Baby First’ Framelits from the Marina Mist card and then embossed it with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder. This folder is ideal for a cute baby type card. I wrapped around some White Baker’s Twine. On a piece of Whisper White card I pierced the baby suit from the ‘Eclectic’ Piercing Template set and adhered that behind the Marina Mist card. I adhered it all to the Marina Mist Base card. I stamped and cut the little tie in Real Red and adhered that with Dimensionals. (Don’t just think of this tie for baby cards what about for Dad for Father’s Day???). The tie adds a cute little touch. The greeting is from ‘Itty Bitty Banners’ and cut with the matching Framelits.

In the catalogue (p74) this is available as a bundle which is just fantastic as you save 15% off for the bundle ($80.50 W and $68.75 C). The Piercing Template is on p 218 is a great asset for this set and has piercing templates for the Tag Topper Punches, Star Framelits, Word Bubble Framelits and the Chalk Talk set. A very versatile Piercing Template set at only $13.95.

In cutting the Baby suit out for this card and a second one I didn’t want to waste the off-cuts so I made up some other cards similar to this.

The heart is punched from the 2 step Owl Punch. The Marina Mist piece at the bottom has been embossed with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder again. The greeting is from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’ and punched out with the Word Window Punch. I punched out a second one in Real Red and then cut it in half and layered it behind the white sentiment.

This is a little card measuring 10cmx10cm (4″x4″). The heart is punched from the ‘Itty Bitty Accents’ Punch Pack.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blog world. If you are in the US, wishing your a Happy 4th July. 🙂

“SOMETHING FOR BABY” CARD IN A BOX!

June 23, 2014June 23, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have just received the new “Something For Baby” set from the new Catalogue. It is so cute. I do have a few baby cards to make but I just had to make one of the ‘Card in a Box’ type cards first. I have to show you it.

Isn’t it the cutest?? (or can I say that about my own card!) I think all the images in the set are so cute and they all work together so well, PLUS no hand cutting. Just use the matching framelits!

”

It was such fun to put together. I have used the ‘Moonlight’ DSP paper stack which is also from the new catalogue. These paper stacks are great. The papers are just slightly larger than a card front so they are much easier to use and store. There are 48 sheets in the stacks with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. You can check them out when you get your new catalogue. I have used some of the new Incolors coming out – Hello Honey, and Lost Lagoon. I also added Basic Gray and Sahara Sand.

Here you can check out the side views.

Little booties and No, I didn’t have to hand cut these either! I added some White Baker’s Twine bows.

A little Bib with another White Baker’s Twine bow and a Rhinestone to finish it off.

These “card in a box” cards do take some time to create but the whole process is fun.

I have been busy with a lot more creating getting ready for my Catalogue Launch this coming weekend. I can show you all the creations after the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are enjoying some creating today.

DIGITAL BON VOYAGE!

June 19, 2014 Jenny Hayward

My son Josh heads off to Fiji today for 4 weeks with Year 13 Gap Year Program that he has been doing this year. They will be involved in the communities there providing care, support and ministry training. It is a huge endeavour and while I am very excited for him to go and for all that he will experience, as a Mum it is hard to see them fly the nest. 😦

I wanted to make a card to send him off with but I didn’t have any stamps suitable so I made one on MDS (Stampin’ Up! Digital software program). I am still finding my way around MDS but I SO LIKE it when I can just click ‘Undo’ if I am not happy with something I have put on there. No wastage of card!! After it was done I just printed it off on our printer. So here is my card.

I used the Digital sets: World Tour and Travel Log. The Background DSP is ‘Made from Scratch’ (I think!).

Thanks for looking. I am off to console myself now. I might just play with real ink and stamps today.

Have a Happy Day 🙂

BLAST OFF FOR A 1 YEAR OLD!

June 16, 2014June 16, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a few weeks ago now just before Convention but with the excitement of Convention and the new Catalogue I hadn’t got around to showing you this yet. This card was made for one of my Great Nephew’s 1st Birthday. This is using ‘Blast Off’ which is on the retiring list. It is such a cute set. Here is the card.

It was quite fun stamping and cutting these little characters out. For the grey “moon” I cut 2 circles from Smokey Slate cardstock using the Circle Framelits and with one I punched out holes using the Crop-A-Dile and a small circle punch. I then adhered them together and sponged the edge all around and over it randomly. I used ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ to create little splodges in Daffodil Delight. For the spaceman I taped some White Baker’s Twine to the back of him and to the back of the moon to let him “float” around. A cute little card for a cute one year old.

Make sure you grab this set before it leaves us in 2 weeks. Then it is gone!! You can check this cute set out below.

In the meantime, Happy Stamping 🙂
