I am married to Glenn and we have 2 adult children: Josh and Carlie. I live in the Northern Suburbs of Wollongong; just south of Sydney, NSW Australia. I joined Stampin' Up! in August 2008. I'm having a great time playing with ink and paper and sharing my creations with you. Thank you for visiting me in my corner of the blogosphere. I hope I inspire you along the way. I hold regular classes and workshops in my studio in East Corrimal and offer classes and tutorials by mail. I hope I can share stamping with you and your friends soon. Take a look around. If I can help you with any of the gorgeous Stampin' Up! products please don't hesitate to ask me. Happy creating, Jenny

On the weekend I had a Zoom Craft and Chat with some stamping friends. It was so nice to connect and chat and craft together. (You could join next time too) 🙂

I did some colouring during it. I’m not a big fan of colouring I will say. I find it hard to get the right shading. I coloured some images with the Stampin’ Blends and some with Watercolor Pencils.

The image from Feels Like Home stamp set was one I coloured. I do like colouring with Watercolor Pencils better.

I put the card together and used the paper from the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper. It is a Christmas one but the colouring worked well with the image.

For the sentiment I masked some words with tape while inking it and then removed the tape to stamp just the “thank you”.

The Feels Like Home stamp set is one of the free choices for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90 AUD. It’s a sweet image. There are other free choices too with your orders. You can check them out ->HERE.

In Australia? You can order in my store (use the link just above) and don’t forget to add your Sale-A-Bration choice and if you add the Host Code: GS9S4AY9 too.

Thanks for shopping with me.

Have a great day. Keep on creating. 🙂

BEAUTIFULLY PENNED PAPER WEEK – HAVE A COLOURED BACKGROUND!

September 3, 2021September 2, 2021 Jenny Hayward

Another card for our Beautifully Penned Paper Week. Are you getting lots of ideas yet for this paper?

On this card you can colour the paper to create a lovely background. Not much more is needed really. Add a sentiment and add some pretty ribbon.

I have coloured this one in Mint Macaron. I have to say very quickly too. Oops! And my Dark Stampin’ Blends ran out. You get the idea though right. I thought I would show you anyway.

How cool though that the Soft Succulent ribbon matches so well. Add a little sparkle with the Be Dazzling Paper and you are good to go. 🙂

What other colours could you see yourself doing?

You would have seen the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper a lot now not just on my blog here but elsewhere on your internet travels. It is available as a free choice with your orders over $90 AUD for Sale-A-Bration.

Do you need to order any supplies to get creating??

BEAUTIFULLY PENNED PAPER WEEK – COLOUR THE FLOWERS!

September 2, 2021September 2, 2021 Jenny Hayward

Another project for you for Beautifully Penned Paper Week.

With the black and white paper prints you can colour the flowers like I have on this card. These were added to a different print of the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper.

The card base and ribbon were Pale Papaya but the flowers were actually coloured with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. (I think it was the light one anyway). The sentiment label was diecut with one of the Scalloped Contours Dies.

You would have seen the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper a lot now not just on my blog here. It is available as a free choice with your orders over $90 for Sale-A-Bration.

September 1, 2021September 1, 2021 Jenny Hayward

It’s Wednesday WOW! #127 and Beautifully Penned Paper Week. What a double bonus!

What about making some cute little Paper notes with pretty papers. I used the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper for these. They are so easy – and sweet!

These are little Customer Thank You notes for those of you who ordered this month. Are you getting one?

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN

Cut the paper to 15cm x 10cm. Score at 7.5cm. (6″ x 4″ score at 3″). It’s that easy!

I added a white card insert inside to write on. The small flower from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set (another Sale-A-Bration choice) was stamped inside to match the sentiment tag I added on the outside.

The sentiment is from the Many Messages stamp set and diecut with a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies.

This Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90.

You can see more of the prints on this paper -> HERE.

BEAUTIFULLY PENNED WEEK – DAY 1!

August 30, 2021August 30, 2021 Jenny Hayward

We are featuring the Beautifully Penned Week all week this week. Because it is so lovely and so versatile. Be sure to check in each day. (Better still be sure to follow my blog if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out).

I did start last post with our Sale-A-Bration Saturday so go back to that one if you missed it.

Today’s project.

For this card I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set which is another free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $180 AUD. It is very pretty with the detail you can get.

I used 2 prints of the Beautifully Penned DSP on this card and went with an angle on the floral pattern.

The scallop rectangle is diecut with one from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and used some Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon.

The Beautifully Penned DSP is available as a free choice with your orders over $90 for Sale-A-Bration.

You can contact me directly to order OR head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: 2N2FPKZB

Don’t forget to add your free Sale-A-Bration choice.

SALE-A-BRATION SATURDAY – BEAUTIFULLY PENNED DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!

August 28, 2021August 28, 2021 Jenny Hayward

We have so many lovely papers for Sale-A-Bration this round. The Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper is just one. I thought we should take a look at this one today.

This paper has 12 sheets of patterned paper: 4 each of 3 double-sided designs in 12″ x 12″ size. It comes in varying black and white patterns. You will notice that many of the patterns are similar to the Hand-Penned DSP in the Annual Catalogue.

You can choose to colour the papers or leave them as they are. I have been using them a lot recently. Some I have coloured and some I have left as they are. I have too many cards to just share in one post so I think this will be a Beautifully Penned Week! Watch out for this in the coming week.

Just to get your started I will share a few projects.

These cute pillow boxes (made by Stampin’ Up! artists) are created with the Pretty Pillow Box Dies.

For this card (also created by Stampin’ Up! artists) several patterns of the paper was used. The paper was diecut with the floral background and the white card piece was matted on the stripy pattern. Some little flowers were fussy cut out and added.

Here is a card I created recently with the papers. Don’t wasted even the little strips. They will all co-ordinate together on one card.

I love black with POPS of pink. This is Polished Pink. You could use any colour though to make it POP. What colour would you use??

The stamp set is from the Color and Contour stamp set.

This Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90.

You can see more of the prints on this paper -> HERE.

Be sure to head back here when I share more projects with this gorgeous paper.

Have a great Saturday,

Jenny

POCKET CONCERTINA BOOKLET WITH YOU’RE A PEACH PAPER!

August 25, 2021August 24, 2021 Jenny Hayward

Yesterday I shared the Concertina Card that I made for my daughter’s 21st. Today I wanted to share with you this special little booklet I made. Of course using the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper.

It was just a little booklet with some inspirational sentiments for her.

It’s small in size and tied up with some Pale Papaya ribbon. The peach is cut from the You’re A Peach paper.

When you open it there is a little concertina piece. I have held it down here in the photo with the Bone Folder so I could take the photo.

Folding out the strip of card there is a special sentiment on each section. I used a number of different stamp sets for the sentiments and for the images.

This was really fun to create (and made from the heart to my gorgeous girl).

I will share the dimensions for it another time. I only have them in metric at the moment.

Hope you like it.

Hope your week is going ok wherever you are in the world. Thanks for visiting me and take care.

21ST BIRTHDAY CONCERTINA WITH YOU’RE A PEACH PAPER!

August 24, 2021August 27, 2021 Jenny Hayward

I just wanted to share a special card with you today. Yesterday my gorgeous baby girl was 21. I can’t believe where that time has gone. We are a little peach crazy in our house with perfumes and creams and all kind of Peach Scented products. So of course it had to be the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper.

I wanted to make the card a little different and found a sweet concertina style card. It’s just a little bigger version than a regular zig-zag type fold.

Here is the card from a few different views.

The ’21’ was diecut from the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper from Sale-A-Bration using the Large Numbers Dies (now retired but really I can’t get rid of those). The peaches were diecut from the paper.

I found how to make this style of card from Suzie’s blog -> HERE. The measurements are in imperial. I used those measurements as I was short for time so I haven’t got them in metric as yet. I will make another card later to share those.

I made another mini version of a concertina card as well that I will share in the next post. It is so sweet so you will want to see that.

Have a great day,

Jenny
