QUICK CHRISTMAS TAG INSPIRATION!

Jenny Hayward

I’m a little late to the party with this post. Life got away before Christmas to share these BUT… I thought I would share them anyway. You could save them or file them away for inspiration for next year. 🙂

These are some fairly quick Christmas Tags you can whip them up for your Christmas Gifts. You may even use some ideas for tags for other occasions.

We created these in my last class for the year. It was fun! Classes are on a little break now but will be back in the New Year.

For these tags we used Sending Cheer, Trucking Along and Cottage Wreaths.

I hope they can inspire you for later creating.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

A STOCKING SENDING CHEER CHRISTMAS CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have had so much fun with the Sending Cheer Bundle. It is such a great bundle of stamps and dies.

With this one I have used the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. The holly type print and the red Gingham print. They work so well with it.

And notice the stocking – when you diecut the stocking top run it through an Embossing Folder for added texture. I used one of the Basics Embossing Folders.

The Sending Cheer stamps and dies are leaving. I am a bit sad about that. Also the paper is going too. So if you want them you best get yourself together and grab them before they leave.

If you are in Australia and need to order then head over to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code ZRU4QJVE

Or Contact me directly.

Happy Crafting,

STAMPIN’ UP! MERRIEST TREES – TRIO OF TREES!

Jenny Hayward

More trees today with the Merriest Trees Bundle.

I have used these stamps and dies a lot. I mentioned this card in my video last week.

Did you catch the video?? You can head back a post or 2 and see 5 Ways with the Merriest Trees.

For this card 3 trees were diecut from the Joy of Christmas paper. The words were heat embossed in Gold on the green print one. It’s simple but adds a little elegance. And then a little gold star at the top.

The background white card is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Have you seen the Merriest Trees Bundle? There are some great tree dies and other elements in the dies?

Great news! These stamps and dies will be carried over to next year’s Catalogue. BUT they will be dearer as they will be available individually not as a bundle.

You can see them in Online -> HERE.

If you would like them and you are in Australia you can order directly at that link above. Please use the Host Code: ZRU4QJVE OR contact me directly.

Have a happy day,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #157 – TIPS FOR TYING BOWS

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #157 – Tip for tying your bows.

Do you struggle with tying bows on your cards?? I get a groan every time in class when I say we have bows to do.

Here’s a tip that might help you.

Wrap the ribbon around a block or you could try an inkpad. These are a little more sturdier to tie the ribbon which helps. Tie your bow then snip the ribbon at the back. Then you can add the the ribbon to the card by tying the ends around the back.

Give that a try. I hope it helps you.

TRIPTYCH WITH STARS AT NIGHT STAMPS AND DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Have you heard of the Triptych Technique? I have shared a card with this some months back.

A Triptych is a work of art made of 3 panels or pieces. Early known pieces date back to the Middle ages. This technique is a great one in our card project.

This was a card we created with this technique for our Stars at Night Bundle over the weekend. It works well with multiple images or a scene.

On white card stamp over the images. This card uses Boho Blue, Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate. Then cut the white panel in to 3 even pieces. For the class I had the card cut already in to 3 panels. Then place the white panels closely together and stamp.

The sentiment was diecut with the Something Fancy Dies.

We created 2 different cards with the Stars At Night Bundle too.

If you are in Australia and would love to create the cards we made you can grab the Class By Mail. Cost is $25. All pieces are diecut. You would need to substitute with stamps you have or you can order the Stars at Night Bundle in addition.

Let me know very Soon.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny
