JOY TO THE WORLD – CREATING LIVE!

November 26, 2020 Jenny Hayward

On my Facebook Live this week I created with the Joy To The World Kit. Such a gorgeous one. Of course you can make the cards as they are but … isn’t it great to mix them up a bit – and use those stamps more too.

This was the card I made on the Live. I posted the video below too so you can check it out. And also, see some tips in using this gorgeous kit.

I don’t usually stamp the inside of the card but I did for this one.

I will share some more of these cards over the next few days.

The video is below or You can catch the replay of my Facebook Live. I am trying to go Live on my Facebook page every Wednesday afternoon so I hope you can come and join the chat and the fun.

There is only a few days left to get the Joy To The World kit. You will make 8 gorgeous cards but have some of the lovely kit to make more. They are very quick to put together. Of course, try something different with them too.

TEAM CARD SWAPS!

November 24, 2020November 23, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I shared recently a card I made for our recent Team Card swaps. That was the card shown in last week’s video. Today I thought I would share the swaps I received.

Part of the fun of our stamping events like Onstage is swapping and since we couldn’t all be together this year I thought it would be still fun to hold a swap. Some of my JEN’s INK team joined in. You might like to see the cards.

My card is the Highland Heather card in the bottom left with the Curvy Celebrations bundle. There was quite a mix of Christmas and other occasions. I think these cards are great what do you reckon?? Give them a cheer.

Swaps are just one part of the fun of being in my team. If you would love to join in then come and join us and be part of the Stampin’ Up! family and part of JEN’s INK. (If you are in Australia). I love my lovely team members. I’m so proud of them.

QUITE CURVY CARD IN CALYPSO CORAL!

November 20, 2020November 19, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Today’s card was created in my Facebook Live on Wednesday. Yes! I have ventured in to doing Lives. This is something I have put off for so long. But I am hoping that each Wednesday afternoon I can share a card with you on Facebook.

The video is now on my Youtube channel and I will post it here for you. For the card I used the Quite Curvy Bundle. I am loving these stamps and dies.

Here is the card.

The leaves were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I used the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder and the sentiment piece is diecut with the Tasteful Labels Dies.

I had made one of these cards before the Live for a swap card in my JEN’s INK Team Facebook Group. It was great to get some of my team creating for that. I will share the other swap cards soon. The card I made for the swap was in Highland Heather.

If you are in Australia and want to be part of these fun team card swaps and other activities we do then why not come and be a part of my JEN’s INK Team. You can find 9 reasons why you would want to -> HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #113 – DRESS UP YOUR ENVELOPES!

November 18, 2020November 17, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Shelli, (Stampin’ Up!’s wonderful co-founder) has stated that there should be no naked envelopes. 🙂 I’m guilty of that all the time I have to say. What about you?

I have discovered these fun products in the Holiday Catalogue to dress up our envelopes. They look really fancy. For Wednesday’s WOW! #113 – Why not dress up your envelopes with the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle.

I think these products are overlooked in the catalogue. The ornaments in the Ornamental Envelopes stamp set are gorgeous but I really wanted to focus on the Envelopes Dies.

Below is the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle.

Check out the Envelopes Dies closer though.

The Envelopes Dies consists of 12 dies. 4 Envelope liners, 1-2 decorative edges, and some other elements to diecut in to your paper liners or directly on to the envelope. It also has the dies to cut the ornaments from the stamp set too. The Largest die measures 6-3/16″ x 2-1/2″ (15.7 x 6.4 cm).

So how do you use these dies?? Check out the samples below.

On this one create a decorative wrap for your envelope. How fancy is that?? You can line inside the envelope as well.

Not just line the inside but you can make a pretty decorative liner for inside. How sweet! Or you can diecut the outside and add a liner inside of pretty paper that you can see through the edge.

For this one below I am not sure but I think that for the envelope a mask was made with one of the decorative dies and some coloured texture paste has been added through the mask. This adds to the festive feel.

If you want to dress up your envelopes with the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle or even just the Envelopes Dies you can check them out and order them in my store -> HERE

Happy Wednesday,

STARRY CURVY CHRISTMAS!

November 13, 2020November 12, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I have been having fun playing with the Curvy Christmas set and the Curvy Dies. As well as the Quite Curvy set as well.

For today’s card I teamed it with the Stitched Stars Dies. How great do they co-ordinate together!!

The soft Suede ink works well with the Copper Foil that I diecut the larger star with. The ornate smaller star is diecut in Cherry Cobbler.

The sentiment is diecut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The paper is part of the Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper pack.

The Curvy Christmas set and the Classic Christmas paper is only available until the 4th January.

ONSTAGE @ HOME TEAM DAY!

November 10, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Last weekend was the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event @ Home. It was sad not to meet together but a few from my team got together which was a lot of fun.

It was lovely of Sarah to open her home up to us and we could watch the big TV screen together with all the sessions and chat about them. There is always lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’. 🙂

We had a card display and I made up some gifts for my team.

Here are the little gifts. I included a Stampin’ Up! file folder with some Stampin’ Up! hand-outs, a clipboard (great for all those sessions notes), and I made up a little pack with a highlighter, sticky notes and a Stampin’ Up! magnet. These were all gifted in past Stampin’ Up! convention bags.

These were little table gifts for the tables. I made them up using some retired pillow boxes and decorated them with the new Dandy Garden suite. These are some gorgeous new products coming in the 2021 Occasions Catalogue starting in January. I thought this sentiment was good as we start out on a new Stampin’ Up! year.

Of course one needs to be hydrated at these events so I made up some bottle tags using the cute Zany Zebras.

Just some of the name tags. Sarah created these which were great!

And then you must have Prize Patrol right. We had drawings over the 2 days for some fun prizes. And that was in addition to the Stampin’ Up! giveaways over the weekend.

Some card displays with the Curvy Celebrations and the Curvy Christmas stamp set, the Dove of Hope and a few other stamp sets.

The Dandy Garden Suite. I will share closer views of the cards over the next couple of weeks and months. I think you will love this suite.

The Poinsettia Petals card samples created by Sarah.

Getting some creating going on with the Dandy Garden project. I will share those with you very soon.

Some of my JEN’s INK Team. (A socially distanced photo. 🙂 )

Recognition was announced. I was so pleased to achieve Sales and Team Building Recognition for this past year. Thank you to you all for your support and encouragement and Thank You to my wonderful team.

Thank you to you all for your support and encouragement whether you order from me or cheer for me from near and far. I appreciate you. Thanks for visiting my blog. And of course Thank You to my wonderful team.

If you would love to be a part of these fun get togethers then I would love to welcome you to my JEN’s INK team. I go on about the discount a lot but really being with Stampin’ Up! means a lot more. It’s connecting with so many “crazy” people like you who get excited about stamps and ink. You can find out more on my page HERE of 9 Reasons why you need to join the Stampin’ Up! Family.

Keep creating,

Jenny
