MY PROJECT IS OUT FOR ‘WE STAMP FOR LARA 2016’!

May 4, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Have you joined in with ‘We Stamp For Lara’ yet? My project is released today. Here is a sneak peek for you.

I shared all the details in a recent blog post. This is a fundraiser event for a special little girl. Lara has so many medical challenges. We are seeking to raise money to get a special mattress for her that can help turn her in the night. You can read all about it in this blog post HERE.

For $15 you receive 1 tutorial a day for 15 days. All the money raised goes directly to help young Lara and her family. You can join anytime during the time (2nd May – 15th May) and still access all the tutorials. Tutorials are available on a special Facebook group. If you are not on Facebook then they can be emailed to you. You can comment or email me here if you would like to join in. Payment is made by Bank Transfer or Paypal.

We are mainly focusing on the ‘Number of Years’ stamp set and matching Framelits. To help with the fundraising too I am donating my commission to ‘We Stamp For Lara’ when you purchase the ‘Number of Years’ set and framelits. Buy the Bundle and save money. These are available in the new Catalogue but not as a Bundle so get them now.

Bundle Price is $85.75. (Stamp set alone is $47, Framelits are $54 – so great value!)

Stop by my store HERE to order directly or contact me by email or a comment here.

Please use the Host Code: APFCFBMW when ordering at my store this week.

Thank you

WE STAMP FOR LARA 2016!

April 29, 2016April 29, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I have been on a secret project the last few weeks. I am so excited and honoured to be a part of it and I am glad I can now share it with you. A group of demonstrators have put together some awesome tutorial projects for you all to raise money for this special family. Madonna is a former demonstrator and a friend and I have followed along with their struggles right from the beginning. Let me share a little bit about their story from her Mum Madonna….

Lara was born on the 5th of November 2008. The fourth child of Mark and Madonna. She was different to her siblings. She looked different…she had twisted feet….she didn’t cry like the other babies. She didn’t move like them either. However, after a week in the nicu we were released to go home, with a paediatrician’s words ringing in our heads “She may or may not be normal, depending of if she does or does not reach developmental milestones.” She was given a diagnosis of Cerebral palsy at 5 months during a hospital stint to correct a floppy voicebox. During that stay she was also put on naso-gastric feeding (a tube down the nose and into her tummy). By one she had started having seizures and had a number of other “foibles”.
Over the last seven and a bit years Lara has had many hospital stays with a number of illnesses. She has been diagnosed as having a “life-limited” condition. We do not know what that means. We do know that she is unable to talk or walk. She cannot communicate via traditional words or even gestures as her ability to control her limbs is very limited. What she does do is convey her love through her eyes. She verbalises some sounds and is very quick to moan and whinge if she wants to be moved or has a full nappy!

Lara has a plethora of drugs each day to keep her seizure activity stable. This is mostly successful but a simple cold can be enough to put us in hospital for a little visit due to her compromised immunity and poor lung function. She needs to be moved into different positions to help her manage her secretions and to prevent pressure areas.

One of the items we are looking at fundraising for over the next few months is a better pressure mattress for Lara’s bed. She has a hospital bed that we are able to manoeuvre into various positions for her (tilt, height etc) but the mattress is very simple and we use an egg shell topper at the moment to assist in the pressure management. We (actually, Mark..mostly) move her from side to side during the night to alleviate the risk of pressure areas. An appropriate mattress can help with those risks.

We are so grateful to all of you for always being willing to put your hands up to help us to Help Lara. She is a delight and a blessing. If you have ever gazed into the depths of her gorgeous blue eyes you would understand she is a special little person in more ways than just her diagnoses.

If you want to read more about Lara’s Life you can visit her Facebook page HERE.

So will you help us out? You can from anywhere in the world.

HOW IT WORKS.

For $15 you will receive 15 projects each day for 15 days! That’s $1 per tutorial! All the money goes directly to help get this family this special mattress. Let’s help give them a good night sleep.

This fundraiser runs from 1st May to the 15th May. You can join at any time during that time and still receive all the tutorials.

Drop me a comment and I will get back to you with the payment details (by bank deposit or Paypal) and to add you to the special Facebook group where you will access the tutorials. If you haven’t got Facebook but want to join in then please let me know that too. 🙂

Here is a sneak of my project coming up soon.

So let’s do this. I am joining in as I want to get all these great tutorials but more importantly help this lovely family.

FRY GIFT BOX!

April 14, 2016April 14, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Just a quick one for you today. I am heading off tomorrow to Sydney for the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event on Saturday. Exciting!!! And the new Catalogue will be revealed. More exciting!!! 🙂 Before I go though I thought I would show you another quick treat box I made for my markets last month.

This was the first time I have used the Fry Box after having it for some months. I have used some retired paper for them. I have used the ‘All About Sugar’ stamp set to decorate them.

I thought they might be good for the boys. What do you think?? Fill them up with some cool treats or small toys.

Thanks for visiting. I will fill you in on what I can tell you from Onstage when I come back.

SKINNY MINI TREAT BAG HOLDERS!

April 11, 2016April 11, 2016 Jenny Hayward

A few weeks ago I shared the Easter Baskets I made for the upcoming Easter markets. I made a few cute treat holders for the markets too. I have been wanting to show you the project for a couple of weeks but with Easter and Sale-A-Bration there were so many other projects to show you. 🙂

These are really quick to make and you can use them for any small treats. Here I have some little sherbet straws for the kiddies but you could add a chocolate treat or coffee sachet. I have used some retired Designer Series Paper.

Aren’t they fun and colourful?? I have simply decorated them with some ribbon (retired) and cut the “enjoy” (which is in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits set), from black card to add to the front. Really they probably took all of one hour to make. I didn’t have a lot of time but wanted something cute but inexpensive to add to my stall.

Do you want to know how to make them?

SKINNY MINI TREAT BAGS

1. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) a little larger than the large section of your ‘Mini Treat Bag Thinlits’= 10.5cm x 15cm (4″ x 6″). Cut the piece out on your Big Shot.

2. Score the large section in half vertically so at approximately 4.6cm (1 7/8″). The photo below shows the DSP piece with the right side facing up. Cut off the left hand side on the bottom tab section.

Place your piece on your Paper Trimmer with the narrow side tab at the top. Line up your zig zag edge at 2cm (3/4″) and score a line from the top edge and just to the score line in the middle.

Cut off the small tab on the top left with your scissors. (Which I hadn’t done yet in the photo). I like to taper the end of the long side tab to give a neater finish when you fold.

3. Fold on all the score lines and open out again. At the top cut down on the middle score line to where it meets the 2cm (3/4″) score line running across.

4. Fold again on the score lines so the folded flap piece is at the front and the taller section is at the back. Place adhesive on the right side (the outside) of the long tab and fold to adhere to the back of the bag with the tab section on the inside. (It doesn’t matter too much if it is adhered to the outside. Just for a neater finish I like it on the inside).

Place adhesive at the back of the small bottom tab and fold over to the back to adhere down. (I wasn’t worried that this was on the outside at the back). Place adhesive under the front flap to adhere down.

Decorate as you like and fill it with treats you would like to give.

I hope this is easy to follow for you. Please let me know if you any questions.

Enjoy 🙂

CARD IN A BOX FOR A 2 YEAR OLD!

April 3, 2016April 3, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I can finally share this card with you. I was so excited to finish this card but it had to wait. It’s kinda cute. 🙂

I was asked by a friend to make a special card for her 2 year old. Things she liked was pink, purple and orange – and fish! How to incorporate all that?? I decided to go with the ‘Balloon Builders’ stamp set.

So, here it is for you. I have a few different angles for you.

The “Hugs and Kisses” sentiment is from the ‘Party Pants’ Sale-A-Bration set. The ideas for the different balloon animals were from Pinterest. I had to incorporate a couple of fish in there somewhere. 😉 The Designer Series Paper is from ‘It’s My Party’ paper stack.

And the back gives a place to write on.

What do you think? This was a labour of love and I had so much fun creating and it was very well received.

Thanks for visiting me.

MORE EASTER BAGS AND TREATS!

March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Happy Easter to you all. I hope that the weekend will be a great one with those you love and that you remember the greatest act of Love we have been given as we celebrate this time.

Last post I shared some cute Easter baskets. I thought I would share another Easter bag as well as some Easter tags. It’s not too late to whip these up right! This bag and the basket from last post plus these 2 tags are ones we made at my Easter class last week.

This little treat bag was inspired by a project I found on Pinterest but you can find the tutorial HERE. It’s very easy to make. For mine I decorated it with the chick from ‘Honeycomb Happiness’. This is such a great image for Easter don’t you think? I stamped it on Shimmery White and coloured it with the Crushed Curry inkpad and the aquapainter. I cut the image with the Circles Framelits and layered it on a Crushed Curry card cut with the ‘Deco Labels’ Framelits. The strip of DSP is from the ‘It’s My Party’ Paper Stack. I decided to stamp the greeting on Vellum in Black Stazon so it didn’t cover the chick too much. The greeting is from the ‘Easter Lamb’ stamp. On the bag I punched the corners of the card with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch and added a slit with the punch too. I embossed the card with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder too. Cute!

Inside there is a separate little box that you adhere to the inside. It is so easy.

We made a similar tag. This time I cut some of the DSP with the Deco Labels Framelits and I cut one with Whisper White as well to adhere together for added strength and also to have white card to write on the back.

I added a White Cotton Ribbon bow and some White Baker’s Twine to hang from it.

This next tag we made was using the Easter Lamb stamp. So cute. The lamb was stamped on Sahara Sand and coloured with the White Gel Pen after it was cut with the Circles Framelits. I cut some DSP from the Bohemian DSP with the ‘Lots of Labels’ Framelits and also a larger one from Bermuda Bay. I tied through some Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine. A little flower was added punched in Crushed Curry with the ‘Itty Bitty Accents’ Punch Pack. The greeting is from ‘Teeny Tiny Sentiments’ and I cut this one with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

Now you can whip these up in no time – or file them away for next year 😉

Have a lovely Easter time. Visit again soon,

Jenny

EASTER TREAT BASKETS!

March 23, 2016March 23, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Can you believe it is Easter in a few days? I have been busy making some Easter Treat Baskets. Some were for my Easter class last week but I also have an Easter Night Markets tomorrow so I have been getting ready for them too. I thought I would show you some of the projects.

Here are some of the baskets I have made.

The Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo baskets wereone we did at my Easter Class last week.We made them in the Bermuda Bay. This is made with the Envelope Punch Board. There are a number of similar tutorials on the internet but the one I used for this basket was by Deb Valder and you can find that HERE.

I stamped the ‘Easter Lamb’ on Sahara Sand and cut it with a Circle Framelit. Then I coloured the fleece with the white Gel Pen. I saw this idea on Pinterest which I thought was very clever. The greeting is from ‘Teeny Tiny Sentiments’ and I added a flower punched in Daffodil Delight using the ‘Itty Bitty Accents’ Punch pack.

I added a mini butterfly punched with the ‘Bitty Butterfly’ Punch too to finish it off.

Now these cute little bags are made with the Envelope Punch Board too. (Have you got one of these punch boards yet? They do more than just envelopes!. Add one to your next order.)

These little bags are called Bag in a Box baskets by Sam on Pootles. You can find the Youtube video to make these HERE. I used some retired Designer Series Paper.

The little flower basket image is from the set ‘Sprinkles of Life‘ which is the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set. I stamped the basket on Daffodil Delight and hand cut that out. I stamped the flowers and punched this out with the punch. Then they were coloured with the Stampin’ Write Markers. The sentiment was stamped on Tempting Turquoise and punched with the Word Window Punch. I tied it up with some Retired Daffodil Delight ribbon.

I have some more Easter ideas that I will share tomorrow so come back again. 🙂
