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

I have another card for you today with the Tasteful Touches Bundle. I hope you are not sick of this bundle yet. I think it is fast becoming my favourite from the catalogue.

Last week I shared a card and video with this bundle. If you missed it head back a couple of posts.

I have another version of that card.

A little simple stamping on the front of the card using Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow.

The flower has so much detail you don’t even need to colour it if you don’t want to. I have stamped this one in Old Olive. The white card piece was cut with one of the dies from the Tasteful Labels Dies. A Petal Pink piece was diecut with a different die, ran through the diecut machine with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder to add some texture. It was then adhered under the stamped flower piece.

I will share more cards with this lovely bundle again soon.

Grab this bundle for yourself.

You can see it in my store now -> HERE.

Happy stamping,

Jenny

STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD JUNE BLOG HOP!

June 9, 2020June 9, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Time for another Blog Hop with the Stamping Around The World Tutorial Group. We bring you different Tutorials each month and join together in a Blog Hop.

This month I am using the Tasteful Touches Bundle. I have loved using this bundle the last few weeks. It is so gorgeous.

Here is my project for you.

The flower is stamped over the white card with Basic Gray ink. It just makes a simple statement. The flower is stamped again on scrap white card and this one coloured with the Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. The flower is fussy cut out with scissors.

The sentiment piece is stamped on Sahara Sand and diecut with the small banner shape from the Tasteful Labels Dies. I thought the flower was a little bare so added a scallop circle cut from Vellum. This scallop is cut with the scallop die in the the Tasteful Label Dies set.

Card measurements:

Thick Whisper White card base: 21cm x 14.8cm scored at 10.5cm (8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″)

Flirty Flamingo card: 8.5cm x 12.8cm (3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″)

Whisper White card: 8.1cm x 12.4cm (3 3/8″ x 4 5/8″)

Scrap card pieces: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Vellum.

Also used:

Tasteful Touches Bundle, Many Mates stamp set.

Memento Ink, Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (light and Dark), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, Adhesive Pearls.

June 1, 2020June 1, 2020 Jenny Hayward

You might have seen the 2020-2022 Incolors by now?? If not I will introduce them to you and I thought it would be good to compare them with our other lovely Stampin’ Up! colours.

We have Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblebee.

What one is your favourite? I’m still not sure yet. I do love green so Just Jade is a winner. I have been using a bit of the Misty Moonlight recently and really loving the light shade of blue.

See how the colours compare to our other colours.

I will be sharing projects with you soon with these lovely colours – and the gorgeous products becoming available from Wednesday. 🙂

Have a great day,

MOUNTAIN AIR – CARD IN A BOX!

May 29, 2020May 28, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I had been playing with the Mountain Air Bundle recently. Before I move on to sharing projects with new products I thought I would share this card with you. It’s a Card In A Box. I love making these and I hadn’t made one in a while.

This bundle works so well with these style boxes. You have lots of different images and can build up your scene.

To create the Card In A Box I have teamed it with the Country Club Designer Series Paper (retiring).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (carrying over).

The template for making the Card In A Box can be found on Di’s blog -> HERE.

I’m glad to see that this will be carrying over in to the new catalogue. It gives me some more time to play with it later.

You can grab it now in store though -> HERE.

I have started playing with new products so I’m excited to be sharing some new projects with you starting next week. EEK! New Catalogue!!!! 🙂

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #103 – WHICH WAY TO FOLD YOUR CARDS??

May 27, 2020May 25, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #103. I get asked this question so many times so I thought maybe it’s a question you have. Which way do you fold your cards?? Inwards or Outwards after scoring??? I thought I would talk about this today for our Wednesday’s WOW!

I have my opinions but I did a little search on the internet to see what others might say. I have to say there were different opinions.

So which way do you fold your cards? Do you fold them inwards. By that I mean when you have scored the card and it is flat on the table. You have an indentation on the card where you have scored it. Do you take both sides and fold the sides in towards each other. Or do you fold the sides away from each other and fold it outwards?

Personally I fold the card outwards, so the scored indentation is on the outside.

Firstly, before I tell you why I fold it that way. Most crafters that I looked at online folded it this way. Perhaps I missed some if you find it the other way.

I fold it this way as when you score the card you are breaking the tissue of the card. This will enable some “give” to the card to be able to fold it. On another note, scoring the card will give you a crisper fold.

If you fold it inwards you then end up with the underside of the card as your front. I don’t know about you but I find that the cut edge has a little raised edge and I don’t like the look of that.

Maybe you have other reasons why you fold your card the way you do. I would love to hear it. Drop me a comment.

Now since we are on the topic of scoring your card. The other question I get asked a lot is What do you cut your card with?? I use the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer. It has a cutting blade and a scoring blade making the job of preparing your card very quick and easy. Everything is contained in one and you don’t have to muck around with different tools.

You can see the Paper Trimmer -> HERE.

Hope that helps you.

Have a great day,

Jenny

DRESSED TO IMPRESS SCRAP PAGE!

May 25, 2020May 24, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I don’t do a lot of memory keeping or scrapbooking but I created this page for Onstage back in November when I presented the Dressed To Impress Bundle. I realised I hadn’t shared it with you.

This page is of my sweet girl who is now a big girl. She LOVED dressing up. It was her most favourite thing to do. Everyday she would pull out the dress ups. I made a mini album some time ago just with photos of her in her dress ups. She had quite the style.

This is a 12″x12″ page. I used 3 different prints from the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper pack and layered them together. I added a few dies with the All Dressed Up Dies and a little stamping. I think this suite is ideal for these type of photos don’t you think??? 🙂 Perhaps I need to make a few more pages with it.

The Dressed To Impress Bundle is carrying over in to the new catalogue but it won’t be as a bundle. Buying it now will save you 10%.

The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper won’t be carrying over- grab that now before it goes.

See them in my store now -> HERE.

You can order there or Contact me to add your order.
