A PAPER HUG WITH COMFORT AND HOPE!

July 20, 2020July 20, 2020 Jenny Hayward

This was another card created with the Comfort and Hope stamp set.

A paper hug with Comfort and Hope stamp set

To be honest I wasn’t sure where I was going with this card. Even though it is a simple card it took a long time. The sentiment alone took way longer than it should have!! After several variations I settled for this in the end. Still not sure whether I am loving it, but hey …I thought I would share it with you anyway.

I love the “Paper Hug” saying though. That was stamped on Petal Pink and diecut with one of the Ornate Frames Dies.

Have you noticed the Comfort and Hope stamp set? It’s a great one for those caring cards. And great for sending Paper Hugs. 🙂

In Australia? I would love you to order it from me. See it my store now -> HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #106 – 6 DIFFERENT LABELS WITH THE LOVELY LABELS PUNCH!

July 15, 2020July 14, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Today for Wednesday’s WOW! #106. Let’s look at the versatility of the new Lovely Labels Punch.

Did you know that this one punch can create 6 unique labels. Pretty cool right!

There are 2 different label styles on the punch and each punch can punch 3 size widths in–1″ (2.5 cm), 3/4″ (1.9 cm), and 1/2″ (1.3 cm). They create a different type of shape when they are punched depending on the size. That’s pretty clever.

To use the punch, cut the card to the width you want the label to be eg. 2.5cm, 1.9cm or 1.3cm. Slide the card in to the track on the punch being sure to go right to the end of the punch – And then punch away! Easy as. 🙂

Want to see a video of this fun punch? Check out the Stampin’ Up! one below.

See the pretty tags below.

The Lovely Labels Punch can be ordered on it’s own for $40 AUD. See it -> HERE.

OR as part of the Lovely You Bundle for $73.75 AUD. See it -> HERE.

Don’t forget it’s Bonus Days. Grab your $9 voucher to redeem in August for every $90 order you spend in July. It’s a great way to spread your savings – and save!

If you are in Australia I would love to help you with your order.

You can order online at the links above or you can contact me directly on email jghayward@yahoo.com and I will place the order for you. Every order I send a little Thank You card and something little to say Thanks. I do appreciate each and every order.

Have a great day,

SEE MY SWAPS FROM THE 2020 ANNUAL STAMPIN’ UP! CATALOGUE!

July 13, 2020July 12, 2020 Jenny Hayward

The last 2 posts I have shared swaps that I received from a Card Swap I joined in on with the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. If you missed them do pop back and see them in the last posts.

Today I thought I would share more details on the cards I created for the swaps.

This card was for the Round 1 Swap Group. I have used the set Comfort and Hope.

I picked the colours for this card from some of the Designer Series Paper from last year I think. Now I can’t remember which pack. The colours are Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss and Mango Melody. I wouldn’t have thought to put these colours together.

The Stitched circle with the swirly circles needed something underneath and I didn’t have any Blackberry Bliss Ribbon so I diecut 2 little banners from the Tasteful Labels Dies set and added them underneath. It just adds another element.

I love sending cards in the mail “Just Because” so I really like this Paper Hug sentiment.

My swap card for Round 2 Group I used the Tasteful Touches Bundle.

The colours used were Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron. When I was assembling the card I thought it was missed something so I added a vellum scallop circle using the die in the Tasteful Labels Dies set. It helps “ground” the flower. I used one of the other dies in the set to diecut the white card with the flower stamped on it.

The Mint Macaron card was embossed with the Greenery Embossing Folder. I added a little Linen Thread bow to finish it off.

I love joining in swaps and seeing all the amazing creations that I receive. It’s great getting the new ideas.

Have a great week. I hope it’s a creative one for you.

Jenny

PS. Don’t forget Bonus Days are on this month.

Lots of flowery cards. The card on the top left on the photos above is a Dutch Fold card which is cool. The one below that is a shaker card with the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. My swap for this round is the card on the bottom right in the photo just above with the Tasteful Touches Bundle.

I will share more details on my swaps in next post so be sure to stop by.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

2020 ANNUAL CATALOGUE SWAPS!

July 11, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Recently I joined a Card Swap with some other Australian Demonstrators using products from the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. Card swaps are great as you get to see projects with other stamps you may not have or using colours or techniques that you don’t normally see.

I joined in 2 rounds in the swaps so I got LOTS of cards. It meant I created 2 different cards for these but that’s OK. 🙂

I am going to share Round 1 cards today and Round 2 tomorrow. I have included my card swap but I will share more detail of these in a later post.

I’m not posting individual names on these cards but for those who swapped with me – Thank You.

If you would like more information on any of the cards or would like a close-up photo of any please drop me a comment.

BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM!

July 9, 2020July 9, 2020 Jenny Hayward

A few weeks ago I was playing around with the Blossoms in Bloom bundle. I have had a lot of fun with it. I have shared some cards already but thought it was time for some more.

The stamps are great just to simply stamp on your card.

I used Balmy Blue for the flowers. Then it has the individual leaves stamped in Mossy Meadow, and flower centres stamped in Crushed Curry that you can add to your image. There are so many different ways of building on your flowers when using this set.

You can give this simple card a little POP though. For the card below I have diecut the ‘thin’ outline flower die in black card. The black outline highlights the flowers and really lifts it don’t you think??

Stampin' Up! Blossoms in Bloom

TIP: When creating the card using the outline diecut you might like to stamp the flowers first. Then lay the black diecut outline on to the card and with a pencil lightly outline where the leaves and smaller flowers go. Then you can remove the diecut and stamp in the leaves and flowers (if you are using them) so they will be in position where they would need to go to line up with the die. NOTE: I didn’t do that on this card but learnt that’s what should be done when stamping it. I will share another card later where I did this.

The Blossoms in Bloom Bundle is gorgeous. Do you have it yet? I think it’s a must have with these pretty flowers that you can layer together and there are sentiments for many of your regular occasions.

In Australia? If you would love to order this for your “collection” or any of the other fantastic Stampin’ Up! products I would love to help you out. You can order online through my store or you can contact me directly on 0439 844574 and I will fix it all up for you with little stress.

Thank you so much. I will pop a little something in the mail for you including a card kit to create this card so be sure not to mark your order anonymous. 🙂

Thanks for visiting me.

Have a great day and be safe my friends,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON!

July 5, 2020July 4, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I have been sharing recently about some of the products in the Flowers For Every Season Suite particularly the lovely Sunflowers. I thought for Sunday Suites today we will look closer at all the products in the suite.

There are 2 different bundles within the suite. The Jar of Flowers and the Celebrate Sunflowers. Both of them co-ordinate with the other elements like the paper and the ribbon.

Here is all that is included in the Flowers For Every Season Suite. It retails for $313.25 AUD You can buy the full suite or the different elements on their own.

The Flowers for Every Season Suite Collection features gorgeous flowers representing each of the four seasons. You will be able to make projects for many different occasions.

You can get a whole collection of coordinating products, including clear stamps and rubber stamps, beautiful floral paper, craft jewels, craft ribbon, and more!

The Flowers for Every Season Suite Collection includes (and it’s a lot!) –

* Jar of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set
* Jar Punch
* Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set
* Sunflower Dies
* Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper
* Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack
* Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes

* Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack

Product colours: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Poppy Parade, Whisper White

Let’s look at them closer.

The Celebrate Sunflowers bundle I have featured a lot. I love the detailed sunflowers in the die set.

The Jar of Flowers Bundle with the stamp set and the cool punch.

The Jar Punch will punch the little jar shapes out and co-ordinates with the jar in the Jar of Flowers stamp set. It will punch the hole too so you can insert the Jar Shaker Domes. It’s very cool.

I have seen little notepads created by punching out some pieces of white printer paper and bundling them up and help together with a hole punched in with a ring. Very clever! I’m sure there are lots of other great uses for it.

The Jar Shaker Domes can be added in to your project with the jar has been punched. They can then be filled with all matter of items. Only limited to your imagination really. (Check the sample further below).

The Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper pack IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! I have to say I wasn’t sure at first as the flowers were all very bright and some are very big but they are beautiful.

They will create cards in no time by simply adding them to the front of the card on their own and just add a sentiment. But they will also work very nicely with either of the stamps in the suite too.

There are 48 sheets of patterned paper: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs and in 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) size.

The colours are Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Poppy Parade, Whisper White

The Flowers For Every Season Memories and More Includes 50 total double-sided cards (2 each of 25 designs) in 3″ x 4″ (7.6 x 10.2 cm) and 4″ x 6″ (10.2 x 15.2 cm) sizes; 4 sticker sheets, 2 each of 2 designs.

The colours are Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Poppy Parade, Whisper White. Available for $19.25 AUD You can use these cards for your memory Keeping but they will work so well

In addition to all these products there is also the Gems and the Ribbon Combo Pack.

The Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack This contains 3 different types of ribbon in the pack including Just Jade Gingham Ribbon, Whisper White Faux Linen Ribbon and Misty Moonlight/silver Baker’s Twine.

Now for some samples. These are created by Stampin’ Up! Artists. They really showcase how all the gorgeous products work together.
