‘HEARTFELT’ STAMPIN’ UP! EVENT – SYDNEY

Jenny Hayward

On Saturday I went to the Stampin’ Up! Regional Event in Sydney.  These days are always full of inspiration and awesome creativity.  I wanted to show you some of the happenings.  Silly me though was so busy chatting and checking out all the different demonstrations I didn’t take any photos of the overall displays!!!!!!!  Still somehow I managed to take over 500 photos.  Seriously how can one person take that many photos of paper and card!!! I think I have a problem!  There was so much to take in and my head is buzzing with all the new ideas.  I can’t wait to try them out.  There were so many fantastic presentations by some very clever people.  I want to be clever like them when I grow up!

I will show you some of the ideas I saw.

Check this wreath out!  This was created by Sophie, one of the team from Stampin’ Up!  This is created with various different flowers and then with buttons and bit added and all attached to a foam ring.  It looked even more spectacular in real life!

Aren’t these stars gorgeous?  They were created by Tania Willis.  She will have a tutorial on her blog in the next few days on how to create them.

Look at these awesome ideas on using the Lattice Bigz die.  These are fantastic.  They were created by the very talented Teresa Dabrowski.  (Sorry I couldn’t find a blog for Teresa).

Here is a close-up of one of them.  This is cut from the silver Shimmer paper.

I think I will be making some of these this Christmas.  How clever are they??  Little chocolates wrapped in the Lattice Bigz Die made to look like little puddings.

Apart from all the creativity, these events are fantastic for meeting up with stamping buddies.  One special person I FINALLY managed to meet was my very loyal blog friend Lynda.  Lynda has faithfully commented on my blog for over 3 years and we have swapped many a late night emails.

Thanks Lynda for all your encouragement and friendship over the years.  Hopefully it won’t be so long next time until we meet again. x

Come and visit again very soon.  I will show you my project I made for the display boards.

Until next time,

‘J’ FOR ME!!

Jenny Hayward

I have been wanting to show you this for a little while.  Over the recent school holidays Carlie and I found these letters in a discount shop.  It was good to find our own letters.  I undercoated them in White paint.  Carlie decided to paint her’s with coloured paint spots but when it was done she didn’t like it, so I had to sand it all back and repaint it in white again.  I think she has lost heart now so it could be some time until she has it finished.  So, I will show you mine.

Here is a side-on view.

 

I have used the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The white doily is cut from one of the pieces in this pack.  The butterflies are cut with the ‘Beautiful Wings’ Embosslits and the swirls from ‘Swirls Scribbles’.  I added some pearls to finish it off.  I was happy with the way it turned out.  It now sits proudly on a shelf in my craft room.

Just a quick update on my swaps for Convention.  I haven’t had a chance to get back here all week.  I have been working really hard.  I can now say they are ALL DONE.  I managed to get 85 completed.  It is a bit short of my original goal but that will have to do.  I still need to put the recipe labels on them and bag them BUT they are finished!  (I am so relieved let me tell you.  I was getting a bit over it!!!).  I will show you what I have come up with next week.

Thanks for stopping by.  Stop in for a visit again very soon.  You are going to have to now aren’t you because you want to know what my swaps look like!!

“TAKE-OUT BOX TUTORIAL”

Jenny Hayward

Last post I showed you a Take-Out Box I had created.  I have now put together a tutorial for you.  This is created with the Petal Cone Die on the Big Shot.   I hope it is clear enough for you.

TAKE-OUT BOX

1. Cut 2 Petal Cone Die pieces.  You would need to do these one at a time so it doesn’t cut the score line rather than score it.

2.  Place ONE of the pieces in your cutter.  Place the score line at the circle end at the 7.5cm (3″) mark.  The score line must run Vertical in the cutter.  (This is really important).  Have the point of the tab resting against the grid at the top.  Check the photo for correct placement.  I hope this is clear enough.  Once in position cut the card piece.  Do this with both pieces.

3.  Move the piece along the cutter to the 5cm (2″) mark.  Have the score line running vertical again at this mark.  Have the point of the tab running up against the grid on the cutter.  See the photo again for placement.  Now score the card piece.  I use my bone folder some people have the scoring blade on the cutter.

4. Now you have your pieces cut.  Cut up the score line at the bottom to the score line and also cut off the small rectangle at the bottom of the side tab.  (Does that make sense??).  Now your pieces are ready.  Place Sticky Strip along one tab at the side and attach the 2 pieces to have one long length.  (Sorry missed a photo of this step). Stamp your pieces at this point before assembling.

5.  Assemble your box together now.  Add Sticky Strip to the other tab and adhere the box together.  On the bottom of the box fold in 2 opposite tabs.  Then place Sticky Strip to the very top edge of one of the other tabs and adhere these 2 tabs together.

6.  To fold up the top I interlocked each of the curved edges like this shown in the photo.  If you want to add a wire handle like the sample I did in the previous post then you can punch two holes in either side of the box with the Crop-A-Dile.  Then I curved a piece of wire and pushed it through. This is optional to add the wire.

7.  Now you can dress it up how you like.  On this version I added some Very Vanilla Satin ribbon and a tag using the Triple Layer Doily Punch.

The ideas are endless as to how you can create your box, let alone all the goodies you can fill in it. 🙂

I hope you enjoy creating your own.  Thanks for looking.

DOILY BOX!

Jenny Hayward

I have been wanting to make these little Take-Out boxes as they call them for such a long time.  I just haven’t had a chance to.  Then last month at our Team Meeting Ness showed us how they were done.  Well, I didn’t actually get around to making mine then – perhaps a little too much chatting was being done!!!!  Anyway, I managed to make mine the next day.  It’s just taken me this long until I have had a chance to show you.

This was cut with the Petal Cone Die.  I was going to explain how to do it but it was getting a bit complicated.  I will try and make another one soon and show you some step-by step photos.  Would you like that????

Before I assembled the box I stamped it with the ‘Delicate Doilies’ stamp set with Whisper White and Pretty in Pink. I added some wire (just the sort you might use for beading).  Then I added the banner.  It is a bit hard to tell but I sponged the edges in Pretty in Pink and stamped over it with the small doily from the ‘Delicate Doilies’ set.  The ‘Thanks’ is from the set ‘Kindness Matters’.  I punched out a doily with the Doily Triple Layer Punch and added a Rhinestone to the centre.  Then it was a matter of tying around some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and some White Organza.  These would be great to fill with some chocolates.  Maybe an idea for Easter coming up very quickly????

Have a great weekend.  I do hope it is a dry one this weekend.  I think we are all getting a little water-logged around here!

“BUTTERFLY MAGNETS!”

Jenny Hayward

You can tell how far behind I am with blog posts with this project.  I created these before Christmas for some special people.  It has just taken some time to get them up here!   These are fridge magnets created with the Butterfly Bigz Die.

Here are just some of them.  I made various colour combinations.   I will show you a close-up of one.

I first cut a scallop circle with the Big Shot.  I stamped the swirl from ‘Elements of Style’ and sponged the edges.  The butterfly was cut with the Butterfly Bigz Die and then ran through the Big Shot again with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  I adhered this to the scallop circle.  I stamped on a greeting.  This one is from ‘Tiny Tags’.  I added co-ordinating ribbon and a mini calendar.  On the back I added a magnet.  These were fun to make – and give!!

Have a lovely weekend.  If you’re on the East Coast of Australia.  I hope you stay dry.  We have had a lot of rain and still a lot to come apparently!  Great weather to stay indoors and stamp. 🙂

Till next time,

Jenny

“ANOTHER TREAT POUCH”

Jenny Hayward

In the last post I showed you a little Valentine’s Treat pouch.  I have made another one.  This was for a workshop last week.  (Thanks Deb 🙂 )  I have used the gorgeous papers you can choose Free during Sale-A-Bration.  This is from the Everyday Enchantment pack.

If you want to know how to make them just head to my previous post. For the band,  I stamped the little images from Everyday Elegance along the Lucky Limeade card strip and wrapped around some of the Lucky Limeade organdy ribbon.  You can choose this as one of your Free Sale-A-Bration items too.

See the loopy ribbon??  I came across this idea from Barb here.   I think it is a cute idea.  Just a little different to a regular bow and it is very easy.  Basically, take a small piece of scrap card, the width of it being the size of the loops you want.  The size I used here was 5cmx6cm roughly (approx. 2″x 2 1/2″).  Then just wrap your ribbon around the card an odd number of times not too tightly.  I did this one 7 times.  Then carefully slide your loops off and wrap a brad around the centre of the loops.  Does that make sense??? I adhered this to the pouch with a dimensional or you could use a glue dot.

I have more Sale-A-Bration goodness to show you next time.  Have a good weekend everyone.  Stop by again soon.  Don’t forget to say Hello.  It is nice to hear from you.

LARGE TOTE BAG TUTORIAL!!!!

Jenny Hayward

A few months ago I wanted a larger size Gift bag.  When I went surfing around the internet I could only find Tote Bags that would be large enough for Note cards or similar.  So I created my own! I wanted to share this Tutorial with you before Christmas – but it didn’t happen.  The other day I created another one and put together some step-by-step photos to help you.  I have to apologise in advance for the quality of the photos.  It was a very overcast day when I took them.  I hope it gives you an idea though.

Here is the Tote Bag that I had created previously.

I used the Rich Razzleberry Paper from the Brights DSP stack.  The tag is from the hostess set ‘Posy Punch’.  The design of the tote is based around the Box in a Bag you may have seen around.

Now do you want to make one??  Here is the tutorial.  I hope it is clear enough. 🙂  The finished size is ~ Width: 18cm at the base (approx. 7″), Height: 15cm to the top of the bag not including the handles (approx 6″), Depth is 8cm at the base (approx. 3″).  EDITED: I have now updated the tutorial to include the Imperial Measurements. I have also added a new version. You can see that post HERE.

LARGE TOTE BAG

BASE: Card measuring 27.5cmx17.5cm (11″x7″)

On the 27.5cm side score at 5cm and 22.5cm (2″ and 9″) On the 17.5cm side score at 5cm and 12.5cm (2″ and 5″).  Fold on the score lines and then cut the score lines on the long side up to the score line running across to create 2 small tabs on each end. 

Add Sticky Strip to the small tabs and fold in and assemble the box.

DSP (patterned paper) FOR SIDES: 2 pieces @ 15cmx27cm (6″x10 1/2″).  

Place sticky strip along the 15cm (6″) side and join the 2 pieces together to make one long length.

CARD STRIP: for along bottom edge.  2 pieces measuring 3.5cmx27cm (1 1/2″ x11″). Join the two pieces together and scallop along the top edge of the long piece.  It’s a bit hard to see because it is so long but this shows the joined strip with the scallop edge!

CARD STRIP: for along top edge. 2 pieces measuring 1.6cmx27cm (1/2″x11 1/2″). Join the 2 pieces together to make a long strip.

HANDLES: 2 card strips measuring 2.4cmx29.5cm (1″x11 1/2″)

Score both pieces lengthways at 1.2cm (1/2″).  This is from the 3cm (1 1/4″) mark at the top down to 3cm (1 1/4″) from the bottom edge. (ie 26.5cm mark on cutter).  That is, you don’t want to score right to each end.   Check the photos out.

Here is a close-up of the ends to get an idea of the scoring.  So you stop 3cm (1 1/4″) short of the end.

Fold along score line but flatten out the ends. Round the corners with the corner punch. 

Now when you get to the finished bag below you will notice that the handles I have made are different to the tote above.  To create the ends of these handles I have used the Scallop Oval Punch.  To do this I slipped the ends of the handle strips in through the top of the punch.  I put it in on the side first and then turned the strip to the end of the scallop.  Make sense???  Here are some photos to show you what I have done.

Slip the card strip into the top of the Punch on the side.

Gently turn the strip to the end and punch the end of the strip.

Here are the punched ends.

Now all the pieces are prepared you are ready to assemble the Tote.

Add Sticky Strip along the bottom edge of the DSP piece and along one of the short sides.  (Don’t take the red backing off the side piece yet!!!!).   Lay box along the edge of DSP and slowly wrap the DSP around the box. (See the photo below). Stop before you get to the end so you can remove the backing off the side piece.  Now you can finish wrapping the DSP around the bottom and then adhere the side pieces together.  I do it this way because if you remove the backing of the Sticky strip on the side piece at the same time as the bottom you get it stuck to everything (believe me it happens!! You might be more skilled than me :)).

Adhere the scallop edge strip and wrap this around the outside of your DSP covered box at the bottom.

Adhere the other long strip along the top edge of the bag as a trim.

Now you can add the handles.  You can pierce holes through the top of the bag to attach the brads and handles together, or attach the brads to the handles and then adhere the handles with sticky strip or dimensionals.  Whatever you prefer. 

Here is the finished bag.

You are wondering what that DSP is from????  Well, you can get that for FREE!  This is part of the DSP pack (Everyday Enchantment) that you can select for Free during Sale-A-Bration when you place a $100 order.  It is just gorgeous paper!

Here is the inside of the tote.

Here is a side view.

Thought I would show you a close-up of the tag on the bag.  This is using the Hostess set ‘Posy Punch’.

Hope you enjoy this project.  If you create one of these Totes, I would love to see your version.  Drop me a link or a photo.  I like to share with my creative friends but please, don’t forget to give credit if you do create one 🙂

If you have any questions just drop me a note in the Comment section.

Happy Creating!

STOCKING CHRISTMAS BAGS!

Jenny Hayward

Christmas has come and gone but I wanted to show you these gift bags.  I created these for some customers who ordered gifts for other people for Christmas.  I had some stockings left over from my Christmas Gift packaging class a few weeks ago.  I had a template for the stockings and could print them off directly onto the card.  We had created Gift card holders with them.  (We joined 2 together with the topper).

 Here is the Gift Bag.

For the stocking, I embossed the Old Olive stocking part with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  The Real Red pieces were embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I added the tag from the Stitched Stocking stamp set but I am still really not sure about that addition???

Here is a close-up.

The presents were created by punching out DSP with the 1 1/4″ square punch.  (The gold card is not SU!).  I created the bows with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.  I thought they looked pretty cute!!!

Once I worked out how to create them it was quite quick to put together.

I hope you have had a lovely Christmas??? For us, it’s been a nice time  sharing it with family.  The last 2 days have been spent collecting together the gift wrapping and packaging!

I hope you stop by and visit again soon.  I can start showing you some new creations now instead of Christmas cards!

SUMMER MINI CHRISTMAS TAGS!!

Jenny Hayward

Last Friday I had my Summer Mini Catalogue Launch and it was my last class for the year.  I am a bit sad about that.  I love meeting up with my lovely ladies, although I am looking forward to a little break.  I just wanted to show you the fun project we did.  Christmas is almost upon us (17 days to go apparently I was reminded of today – and I still have to hit the shops!). I thought it would be good to create some Christmas tags as I haven’t had a chance to get any done in classes so far.  This is the little bag and tags.  (sorry it is a bit hard to catch the bag without the glare).

To create this I cut a large scallop circle with the Big Shot and then embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  This was folded in half and 2 holes punched with the Crop-A-Dile to thread the Old Olive Satin Ribbon through.  The backing to the bag is a piece of Old Olive Card measuring 10cmx16cm and attached inside the Scallop Circle topper with Sticky Strip.  You can then attach a cellophane bag onto the card piece with sticky strip.  The ‘Joy at Christmas’ label is punched from Perfect Punches in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive.  A rhinestone is added to the label although you can’t see that too clearly.

Here is a close up of the tags.  At the launch they made 4 of each.

For both of them I punched out a 6cm (2 3/8″) scallop circle in Cherry Cobbler.   On the left is the tag from Stitched Stockings set stamped in Old Olive.  A small bow from Old Olive Taffeta ribbon was added to the top (Yes, I know it was small I heard enough complaints the whole time about how hard it was to tie the bows – Sorry ladies!!!!)

On the right we used the new A la Carte stamp ‘Stylish Star’.  It was embossed in silver on Whisper White card and punched out with the 1 3/8″ circle punch.  A 1 3/4″ circle in Old Olive was punched out and they were both added to the Scallop Circle.  I added a large Rhinestone in the centre.  A hole was punched at the top and the new Cherry Cobbler Twine was tied on.  I love that new Twine it is so soft.  It comes in the Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso and the White – so good!!!  I haven’t shown the back on this one but we also punched out a circle with the 1 3/4″ in Whisper White and “to” and “from” from the set ‘Fabulous Phrases’ was stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

Hope your not getting too frantic with the Christmas chaos.  I might even head out to the shops.  I am so bad.  I have never left it this late for Christmas shopping but life has been a little choatic lately!

Thanks for stopping by.  Come visit again soon and don’t forget to say Hi and leave a comment when you stop by 🙂
