MAGNOLIA HALF-FOLD CARD!

September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Today I have a Magnolia Card for you. I shared a card recently with the Magnolia Blooms set. This is another card I made at the time.

The Magnolia flower was coloured with the Petal Pink and the Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.

This is a Half-Fold Card. The front of the card base is cut in half. I used a strip of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper down the left hand edge of the card base.

There is a smaller panel that is placed off the edge of the front flap with the magnolia image. It’s simple but adds another dimension to your card. See the inside below.

I should have coloured the inside leaves. I forgot about them.

I’m really liking this Magnolia Blooms set. Why?

It’s simple to use.
It’s easy to colour. The simple lines and shading makes it easy to follow when colouring to get the depth of colour on it.
It’s great for a Beginner stamper starting out in stamping but great for the Avid stamper who can step it up with other products they have.
It has great sentiments for any occasion. I love the font too.
It’s affordable. $24 AUD people! How great is that.

So have you got this set?? Really. It’s one of THE most affordable sets in the catalogue. You won’t find it in the Annual Catalogue. It is in the Experience Creativity brochure.

Available to order in my store now -> HERE.

SUNDAY SUITES – TOILE TIDINGS!

September 15, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Today’s Sunday Suite is the Toile Tidings Suite in the Holiday Catalogue. Lots of lovely products in this suite and all in the traditional red and green for Christmas. Let’s check it out.

The Toile Tidings Suite Bundle. One Item code and it makes it easier than picking each item. $252 AUD It seems a lot but look at all you get.

The Toile Christmas Bundle. I have to say I wasn’t sure about the Cardinal. It is very popular in the US and perhaps in other parts but we don’t have them in Australia. They are apparently a very symbolic bird though. Which is interesting.

There is also another stamp and die bundle. The Tidings All Around Bundle. I love that wreath. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper in the traditional red and green – Garden Green and Real Red.

In addition to the 12″x 12″ paper there is the Toile Tidings Gift Wrap. This is 4 sheets in total. 2 Sheets each of 2 designs. Each sheet is 24″ x 36″ or 61cm x 91cm. Great for those larger gifts.

I have to say I love these Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots. So sparkly!

Let’s see some more projects.

Do you like the Toile Tidings Suite? Do you have Cardinals in your area? It would be interesting to see.

The Toile Tidings Suite is available now in my store -> HERE. When ordering please use the Host Code: 3JU96AZN

Receive the Tutorial Bundle free of 12 projects with your qualifying orders. (Projects not including the Toile Tidings Suite)

PENGUIN EASEL FOR SEPTEMBER STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD BLOGHOP!

September 10, 2019September 9, 2019 Jenny Hayward

It’s time for September Blog Hop with the Stamping Around the World Tutorial Group. You might have come from Sue’s Blog or starting here.

For our Blog Hop we use the stamp set/bundle that we used in this month’s Tutorial Bundle that are sent out. Of course I used the Playful Penguins set from the new 2019 Holiday Catalogue. They are just too cute.

For this Blog Hop I have made probably the easiest Easel card you could create. The idea came from Lou’s blog -> HERE.

Let me show you the card and I will tell you how I have made it.

Front View

From Top

Side View

Folded card

To create the Super Simple Easel Card

See the ‘Side View’ photo above to get an idea of the fold.

Cut card to the standard size base card whether you are using Metric or the Imperial US card size.

Score 2.5 cm (1″) on the front of the card base. Fold on the score line. This is for the fold of the Easel.

Cut a strip of card 2.5cm wide (1″) and the length being the width of the card.

I added a strip of the Christmas Gleaming stripe pattern on this piece of card. This strip is then adhered to the bottom edge of the inside of the card with dimensionals. This strip creates the anchor point to hold the Easel up.

Decorate

Decorate the Easel card as you like.

I cut a curved strip of Sparkle Glimmer Paper and adhered it on the folded tab. 3 Penguins were stamped with their scarves and then hand-cut and raised up off the Glimmer Paper. A piece of the Christmas Gleaming Designer Series Paper was adhered to the front of the card which you can see as the star pattern on the top panel.

The sentiment was stamped on a strip of white card but check out the flourish banner Gold Foil. That was cut using the Ornate Frames Dies from the Holiday Catalogue.

Such an easy card to create but so fun with these penguins.

Remember you can grab the Tutorial Bundle from any of us for your qualifying orders. Or purchase the Tutorial on it’s own ($20 AUD).

Now continue on the Blog Hop To Linda -> HERE.

Or Click on the little blue box below and it will take you to the list.

Enjoy

PLAID CHRISTMAS GLEAMING!

September 9, 2019September 9, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Sharing some Christmas Gleaming with you again today. This is my recent one but I will be honest I am not sure about it. I am putting it out here though but thought I tell you the process.

The idea was to punch out the ornament from the Wrapped in Plaid paper and adhere some co-ordinating card behind it. This was Shaded Spruce card. Then the smaller ornament was adhered on that had been embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder on Gold Foil and then punched with the smaller Gleaming Ornaments Punch.

While the idea was there the execution didn’t seem quite right.

The centre of the ornament seemed bare so I stamped an ornament in Cherry Cobbler on to the Cherry Cobbler card and punched it out with the 1″ circle punch. It still seemed bare so I added a Gold Stitched Shapes Circle behind it. The bow seemed to finish it off more.

The sentiment was diecut with the Ornate Frames Dies.

What do you think? I’m still unsure.

Thanks for visiting me,

Have a great day.

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – BRIGHTLY GLEAMING!

September 8, 2019September 7, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Now that the Holiday Catalogue is live we can share some of the suites from this catalogue. Of course, I will be visiting the Annual Catalogue still as there is still so much to look at.

Today’s Sunday Suite is the Brightly Gleaming Suite. I think this is my favourite from the catalogue. Maybe it’s the shine and the gorgeous papers. Let’s look at them.

This is all that is included in the Brightly Gleaming Bundle. So much shine and sparkle. 🙂

With one item code you can order the lot which is so much easier. $169.25 AUD #153467

The complete Brightly Gleaming Suite Bundle includes:

* Christmas Gleaming Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack (10% off)
* Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder
* Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper
* 1/2″ (1.3 cm) Classic Weave Ribbon
* Star Designer Elements
* Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements

This is the Christmas Gleaming Bundle with the stamp set and punch pack. $86.25 AUD #153006

BUT, you need to check the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. The catalogue really doesn’t show the shine enough.

The colours in this pack are Copper Foil, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla. This pack is so versatile though. Some of those prints can be used for any occasion not just Christmas.

Ok, you need to check the paper out closer. See it in the video below.

Included in this suite is this gorgeous ribbon. The Very Vanilla/Copper Classic Weave Ribbon. Great for wrapping around your gifts or for tags or cards.

What about some projects. These are ones featured in the catalogue. I have lots I have been creating with it and I will be sharing those with you this week.

Isn’t that Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder cool??

Now on this card below the stamp set is not in the Suite but it works great with the Gleaming Ornaments Punches so I thought I would add that in for you. This is the Memories of Home stamp set.

So what do you think of this Suite? Have you got any of these products yet?

See it all in store now -> HERE. If ordering, please use the Host Code: 6F6336UW

DAISY LANE GIFT CARD HOLDER!

September 2, 2019September 2, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I can now share this project with you as I know it has been delivered. I recently had a request for a Gift Card for one of my customers. It was ordered by her Sister In Law who contacted me. Of course one doesn’t provide just a Gift Card. It must be dressed up. So here is the Gift Card packaging.

It’s just a simple style. I will share more about that further below. The front is decorated with daisies. 2 large Daisies were stamped and punched with the Daisy Punch. 2 smaller Daisies were stamped and punched with the Medium Daisy Punch. They were all layered together and curled up a little. A Clear Gem was added in the centre.

The leaves were punched with the Leaf Punch. See the leaf? I ran a score line down the centre of the leaf and folded it slightly. This adds a little dimension to your leaf.

The Sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings. I stamped it on a little strip of white card and sponged the edges with the Petal Pink ink.

The paper is from the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.

This is the inside of the holder. I stamped some of the fern leaves inside.

The colours look very different in the photos to each other. I can say they are both the same one but the lighting changed effecting the colour of the holder.

To make your own:

Cut your card to 10.5cm x 15.5cm. Score at 6cm and 13cm.

4 1/8″ x 6 1/8″. Score at 2 3/8″ x 5 1/8″

I stapled the small flap down but you could adhere it with strong tape. Be sure the tape is not too wide so you have enough room for the card to fit. Decorate it as you like. Card mat for the front and paper piece is slightly smaller on each layer (4mm or 1/8″).

Hope that helps.

Are you in need of a Gift Card? Maybe for yourself (because it is the perfect gift for you) or it is for a friend or family. You can order it to any value. I have Christmas Gift Cards too so keep that in mind as Christmas approaches.

Thanks for visiting,

Jenny
