12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 8!

November 22, 2014 Jenny Hayward

We are now up to Week 8!!! Today’s project is brought to you by Libby. This is very cute! Libby has made a bag with a shaker frame on the front, a Star Gift Box and two cards to pop inside the bag.This would make a lovely gift to give someone before Christmas.

Here is a closer look at the bag. What a great idea having the Shaker Star on the front!

The shaker frame is made using the Stars Framelit Dies, ‘Many Merry Stars’ Photopolymer Stamp Set, Confetti Stars Punch with Red Glimmer Paper and Frosted Sequins.

The bag itself is made using the ‘Under the Tree’ Speciality Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalogue.

The Star Gift Box has a small Kit Kat Chocolate inside it and would be great as a stocking filler or a teacher gift, teamed with a bottle of wine or a coffee voucher etc.

The two cards also use the ‘Many Merry Stars’ Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Stars Framelit Dies with the Big Shot.

This card uses layering of stars and Dimensionals to give depth and dimension. Both cards are stamped inside and the envelopes are also stamped.

The last card uses the nesting of the Stars Framelit Dies again to make a frame of Gold Glimmer Paper which adds some sparkle to this card along with the Frosted Sequins.

If you would like the full instructions for this set of projects then drop me an email or a comment.

NOTEBOOKS AND MORE FOR CRAFT FAIRS!

November 20, 2014November 17, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Today I thought I would show you the notebooks I made for my recent Fairs I have been to. These were all fun to make too and a great way to use up the scrap paper bits you have lying around.

Firstly, some notepad covers. Very useful to have around the home or by the computer for quick notes.

To make these: Check the size of your notepads but I will give you the measurements for these ones.

Cut your card to 28cm x 21cm. Score on the long side at 9cm, 10cm and 19cm. Turn your card 90′ and score on the short side at 1cm and 3cm. Cut off the small section on the top (only on this section and then the larger section below. Does that make sense?? I didn’t make a template to show you. You just want to end up with a small strip towards the top that the Notepad hangs off from the backing card on the notepad. Decorate the front as you like.

Some post-it note holders. These are fun to make.

I don’t have an exact measure for these but they are simply a small piece of card that folds over to fit. Make sure to allow extra to score 2 lines in the centre to create a spine in the middle. Decorate the front as you like.

Notepads: just cover notepads as you like. I didn’t want to fiddle with the spiral top so I just chose some coloured paper that co-ordinates closely to it. I think it is OK! Decorate with butterflies and bling!

These notebooks I picked up from the discount store too and just decorated them as I liked.

Hope you liked these ideas? If you missed the previous posts on Craft Fair projects then you can check HERE. Don’t forget to check the previous post too.

Thanks for stopping by,

PS. Week 8 of 12 Weeks of Christmas is due out today. As I am away from the computer I am not able to post it today so when I get back tomorrow I will post it as soon as I can. 🙂

MORE CRAFT FAIR PROJECTS!

November 18, 2014November 16, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I am away this week but thought I would schedule a few posts for you – so you don’t miss me too much 🙂 The last couple of months I have done a few Fairs and School Fetes so I thought I would show you the projects I have made for these. Previous posts for these on my blog have been really popular (and I will add the links at the end if you have missed those). I know when I have done these I have searched around the internet looking for ideas so I am sure you might do too.

Here are some of the projects I have recently made.

Firstly, I made up some Gift Card Holders. These are very useful at Christmas time I think as many people give Gift Cards as gifts. I used the Envelope Punch Board and made it to the Gift Card size holder on the measurements. These were decorated with all kinds of stars. Some of the stars had been sitting around my desk so it was a good way to use them.

Many people give money as Gifts too so I thought it would be nice to dress up the cash instead of just sticking it in an envelope. I found this idea on a blog somewhere and I am sorry I am not sure where now though. I did adjust the measurements to make a better fit for our size notes. I have the instructions just below. Just check your own currency note size to fit.

MONEY HOLDER (in metric).

Cut card to 18cmx18cm. Score on one side at 8.5cm and 17cm.

Fold on the score lines. Punch a half circle on the front flap with the 1″ circle punch. Add Sticky Strip or other strong adhesive along the narrow tab and fold up on the score lines and adhere together. Decorate as you like.

Insert

Cut card 8cmx16cm. Punch out 2 1″ circles from co-ordinating cardstock fold in half. Staple one on each end towards the edge of the card to allow the note to slip in on either end. Remember just to check the measurements for your own currency. You can’t see but I stamped the insert front too.

Now how can you forget your furry friend. These were very popular at my fairs. I just cut the topper from the Top Note die and folded it in half. The stamps are from the the set ‘D is for Dog’.

You can check previous posts on Craft Fair Projects HERE.

Stop by again in the next few days I have some more projects to share with you.

CURVY KEEPSAKES HANDBAG!!

November 16, 2014November 16, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I am sure you have seen all the amazing creations around using the Curvy Keepsakes Framelits. They are so clever. I have been making some projects myself with them and I will show you these another time. When I first saw the Framelits I thought it would make a cute little handbag. Recently I have seen some floating around the internet. I thought I would show you my Christmas version – and it uses the set ‘December Wonder’ that I have been focusing on this past week.

I am sorry I didn’t take a side-on view. It would give you a better idea how it looks. I will try and update this later. To create the bag I have used some of the Nordic Noel DSP. I just cut the paper to size to fit half of the Framelit, the section with the curvy handle. I cut 2 of these out. Where the base is I trimmed off about 2cm (3/4″). I added Sticky Strip to one of the bases and assembled the two together. You can add some little chocolate treats and tie around some ribbon and add a tag. For this tag I stamped the “Very Merry” in Garden Green and punched it out with the 1″ circle punch. I cut one of the Oval tags that come with the Curvy Keepsakes framelits from the Gold Foil Sheets and layered them together with a little Real Red banner cut from the Bitty Banners Framelits. I added 3 small pearls on the tag to finish and hung that from the ribbon with Whisper White Baker’s Twine. A cute treat bag in no time!!

I hope you enjoyed the projects this past week with the ‘December Wonder’ stamp set. It is a fun set. This is available in the Holiday Supplement Catalogue but these products are only available stocks are limited. So get in soon for any of these items. You can order directly from me or from my store HERE.

I hope you can join me again this week. I will be away on a Family Holiday but I have some posts scheduled so don’t forget to stop by,

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 6!

November 6, 2014 Jenny Hayward

We have another great project for you for Week 6 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas. Today’s project is this very cute Advent Calendar by Narelle.. It is such a clever idea!

Now this Advent Calendar is a little different to your normal Advent Calendar that is filled with sweets and small treats. This one is made up of little pouches, each with a tag inside. You can write anything you like on the tags, or you could add Gift Vouchers etc into the pouches. Now because there are little pegs to hold the pouches onto the bakers twine, you will need to make sure you don’t put anything heavy in them. And for the big day, Christmas Day, there is a gorgeous box which can contain a small gift.

In my Advent Calendar I have written something on each day that corresponds to the day number. The idea is that the child takes out the tag each day and on it is written things they can experience and claim throughout the year. For example, the tag may have on it “10 trips to the Movies”. They keep the tag and throughout the following year they can claim these 10 Movies. They simply keep count on the back of the tag how many times they have claimed it already.

I love this idea as it is a gift that keeps giving throughout the year and it isn’t all about buying gifts. A lot of the tags are about experiences and spending time with the child. And let’s face it, it also eliminates a lot of sweets that children really don’t need at this time of the year with all the extra treats around already.

Aren’t these little pouches cute that Narelle has made. And what a great idea to have little “gifts” that aren’t sweet treats?? I know that this is not how Narelle wanted it displayed as there was sickness in her house this week but I think it is a cool idea – and she has done an awesome job 🙂

If you would like to get instructions on how the different elements were created like the box and the little bags, then just drop me an email or comment and I will get that to you.

If you want some ideas of some “non-sweet” gifts then here are some ideas. Narelle tailored these to her daughter and include a lot of her favourite things but they might just work for you too.

1 trip to the Zoo
2 friends sleep over
3 favourite restaurant visits
4 trips to the drive-in
5 dates with Mum
6 dates with Dad
7 pizza cooking nights
8 trips to the beach
9 bowling games
10 baking sessions with Mum
11 trips to the local pool
12 trips to the Movies

13 shopping days with Mum
14 popcorn and movie nights at home
15 sightseeing drives
16 Youghurtland frozen youghurts
17 stories read by Mum
18 stories read by Dad
19 games of UNO
20 Ice Cream Sundaes
21 craft sessions with Mum
22 trips to the Library
23 family board game nights
24 trips to the park

Now as always we have a special bundle available for purchase. This bundle comprises some of the items used to create this Advent Calendar. So here it is:-

You get this product bundle for the special price of $89, AND get these FREE.

So not only do you get the items above at a reduced price but you also get the Clothespins added in for nothing.

Drop me an email or comment to order this and I can take care of it for you. Orders can be sent anywhere in Australia. You can not order this bundle through my online store, you must contact me to purchase.

Have a happy day,

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 4!

October 23, 2014October 23, 2014 Jenny Hayward

We bring you another Christmas project this week for our 12 Weeks of Christmas – and today it is my turn to share a project. I do hope you like it. Today I have a Tiny Treat Gift Holder for you.

This little Treat Holder will fit a variety of treats all together for you to give someone special this Christmas. Really it is just so simple. I have used 3 of the Tiny Treat Boxes available in the Holiday Catalogue. These are a bargain at $11.95 (AUS) for 24 boxes. They are so cute and there are so many different ways you can use them. This would be a really cute gift to give someone as a little extra or for those “Hard to buy for” people.

For this I have adhered 3 of the boxes together with Sticky Strip and then decorated them using the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper. I have added some stars from the Bright and Beautiful stamp set and cut with the Star Framelits. Additional stars were cut from Gold Foil Sheets with the smallest Stars Framelits. The gorgeous Red Satin Ribbon finishes the box off. Of course, you can decorate these boxes however you like. Fill some Cellophane bags with treats and tie them off. I used the Gold Twine for this.

If you would like a detailed tutorial to create this project then just drop me a message or email. If you need any products to create the project then let me know or you can order directly at my Online Store Here.

And of course, we have a special bundle for you this week to help you create this project. These are the items you will receive in your Bundle AND receive 10% off!

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 3!

October 16, 2014 Jenny Hayward

We have another project in our 12 Weeks of Christmas series today. This project is brought to you by Narelle. Check this project out for your Christmas entertaining. This is a lovely Table Setting.

This table setting consists of a cutlery bag, a bonbon and a name place card. I think these would really dress up your Christmas table and make it something special.

Here are some photos of the individual items and also some videos showing how to make the key components. For full instructions and a complete list of supplies, please email me for a detailed pdf.

CUTLERY BAG

I just love this Cutlery Bag. I know you could just put the cutlery on the table next to the plates, but that would be boring, right ? Making this bag gives you a reason to create and show off a little to your guests. I am sure they will be appreciative of the effort you went to and the table will look so festive and special.

Here are a couple of videos showing you how to make the rosettes.

BON BON

Bon Bons are a fun thing to have at Christmas time aren’t they?? The cute hat and funny jokes and the little novelty inside. But once they are pulled apart they are thrown away. With these Bon Bons not only are they a lot of fun but they will look pretty having them on the table. The bonus of these is that you can fill them with wrapped chocolates or something as an extra treat, and the guests get to keep them as a memento of a wonderful gathering with family and friends.

Here is a video how you can make them.

NAME PLACE CARD

Can you see this on your Christmas Table this year?? It would make all your guests feel pretty special.

The full materials you need for these projects are in the PDF that I can send you but here is some special products put together for the Bundle this week.

We have these 4 products on offer in our Latte Girls’ 12 Week of Christmas Bundle Three(3). You can get all these products for the fantastic price of $77. That’s a saving of 10% . Gotta love that !

Contact me with your order. This deal is not available online.

Don’t forget if you want the detailed instructions and a complete list of supplies used, please email me to get the pdf.

You can purchase everything you need to make these items and more, from my online shop.

I hope this helps you with your Christmas preparations.

Thanks for dropping by today.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 2!

October 9, 2014 Jenny Hayward

It’s Thursday and today I bring you the second week of our “12 Weeks of Christmas”. Today it is Virginia’s turn to bring you the project that I am sharing. Check this out!

It is a cute little Christmas Village scene in a Card in a Box. How sweet is it??? These are great too as they fold flat to fit in a standard size envelope.

Virginia has used Basic Black and Very Vanilla A4 cardstock. The Designer Series Paper used is the ‘Typeset’ pack from the Annual Catalogue. The cute houses are from the set ‘Holiday Home’ from the Holiday Catalogue. They have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Blendabilities. The gold stars have been punched from Gold Glimmer Paper and some have been ‘suspended’ by gluing them to strips of the Window Sheet. The Christmas trees are from the same Holiday Home stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow while the brown trees were double stamped in Baked Brown Sugar and Crumb Cake inks. Virginia added some accents on the trees by dabbing on Versamark ink and sprinkling Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat setting with a heat gun. Here is a close-up so you can see them.

You can create any scene in these little “Card in a Box” type cards.

Now how would you like to get all the goodies to make this card in a box and pay a special Latte Girls 12 Weeks of Christmas Bundle price? Here’s what you’ll get …
