MINI CHRISTMAS TREAT BAG + VIDEO!

December 17, 2022 Jenny Hayward

Christmas is getting closer and I’m sure you are getting frantic. Well I am anyway. Still haven’t finished the Christmas shopping – and as for cards …

Anyway, if you are in a rush but you need a speedy little treat bag for someone then I have one to share with you today. These are just the size for some chocolates or jewellery or even a Gift Card.

I shared the Snowflake Vellum bags I created for my class attendees on my Facebook last week. And everyone loved them. I thought I would put together a video to show you just how easy they are to make so you can whip up some yourself.

These are the Snowflake Vellum Treat Bags if you missed them on Facebook and Instagram.

Now here is the little bag created with the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper.

The Gift Tag is one we created in class at our Tags and More class last week. I just thought it would work well with this paper. It uses the Merriest Moments Stamp set and the dies. Unfortunately the stamp set is now sold out.

These bags were inspired by ones I saw on my lovely friends Sam’s blog on Pootles. I couldn’t find the original when I went back to them. I did change these a little. But if you haven’t checked out Pootles yet you really should. Sam has some quick, easy gift bags and treat holders to create. You can find Pootles -> HERE.

You can catch the video here or now on Youtube.

Do you want to make your own?

Here are the measurements for you.

CHRISTMAS TREAT BAG

Designer Series Paper – 19cm x 13.5cm 7 ½” x 5 ¼”

AN AUSSIE CHRISTMAS WITH SEASHELLS AND PELICANS!

December 12, 2022December 12, 2022 Jenny Hayward

Our Christmas is (usually) hot and sunny. We will see what this year turns out to be considering the weather lately …

Today’s card is one for our Aussie Christmas. Or for those in a warm, sunny climate at this time of year.

We are forgetting the snowmen and snowflakes and going for all things beachy.

The Stamps used were Christmas Lights, Waves of Inspiration and Friends are Like Seashells. The sentiment is from Inspired Thoughts. The paper is the Celebrate Everything Paper Pack.

This card was inspired by one I saw searching online but now I can’t remember who sorry.

What do you think?

Hope your week goes awesome. And you get those Christmas preparations done. I need to hit the shops tomorrow to finish (or get close…)

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #143 – ADD LUMINESCENCE TO YOUR BAUBLES

December 7, 2022December 12, 2022 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #143 – How to create Luminescence to your “lights”.

Here’s a different effect for your Baubles or Ornament type stamps to give that glow (luminescence).

Stamp them on a coloured card rather than white. Then with a Sponge Dauber and White Ink add a little white over them. This would work well with Embossed images preferably. How cool!

While I’m not showing you here how to do it you can see the effect.

This particular project uses the Family and Friends stamp set.

Hope you get to try it yourself.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! FITTING FLORETS CELEBRATE

November 28, 2022November 28, 2022 Jenny Hayward

I shared this card in my recent video with ‘5 Ways with the Fitting Florets’. If you haven’t caught that video just head back a few posts on my blog or head to my Youtube channel and you can view it.

I wanted to show how when you diecut your oval with the Framed Florets Dies. Not to waste them. You can create another card with them. I actually have a couple of ideas on that video.

This is the card.

The white background is embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. And – save on colouring the flower. You can easily snip it from the pretty Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. Some of the dies from the Framed Florets Dies do cut some of the flower images but not this particular one.

Have you got any of the Fitting Florets Suite yet?

The paper and the Gold Swirls are only for a limited time. So you will want to grab those very soon while they are around. The Framed Florets Bundle will carry over to the Mini Catalogue coming in January.

You can see them in my store -> HERE. You can order directly there. Please use the Host Code: JCBE3B2U

Or contact me directly and I can help you out to order them for you.

Have a great day,

This was the inspiration.

The colours from this that I could see where Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, Soft Succulent, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray.

I used all but the Balmy Blue. (It could even be more Smoky Slate).

This was the card I created. I share the making of it on an Instagram Reel yesterday if you caught it.

I used the Merriest Moments Stamp Set and the Dies.

Why not have a go at the colour inspiration yourself. And share it with me. I always love to see others creations. You can email me or head over to my Facebook Group and share it there.

A SANDMAN WITH STAMPIN’ UP! SNOWMAN MAGIC

November 21, 2022 Jenny Hayward

This card brought back fun memories. When I was young I spent a lot of time on the beach creating sandmen. Big mounds of sand and I collected seaweed for their hair and decorated them with shells and stuck sticks for arms. So much fun.

A few weeks ago for our “Summery” Christmas class we created this card with the Snowman Magic Bundle. It was such fun to create it.

The background is using the Oceanfront Stamp Set. The paper is the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper.

Isn’t it fun?? 🙂

I’m thinking though with the way the weather has been here we will be needing to make snowmen at Christmas time. Crazy weather!

Let me help you with your creating supplies? If you are in Australia you can stop by my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: JCBE3B2U

Or contact me directly. I would love to help you out.

Happy Crafting,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #142 – PARTIAL SNOWFLAKES!

November 16, 2022November 16, 2022 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #142 – Creating Partial Snowflakes.

Snowflakes are not typical for our warm, Summery Christmas. For some reason though many people still love them on their cards. I think it is the soft, magical effect.

These snowflakes created with the Frosted Flurry Dies are something different though. They add these partial snowflakes to your Christmas projects.

They are very simple and easy effect.

Diecut them and just gently lift the edges. Use the spatula end from the Take Your Pick Tool or use the Paper Piercer. It’s a cool effect with those slightly raised edges and adds just another dimension to your projects. With the Joyful Flurry Stamp Set you have added snowflakes but the sentiments are so soft and “magical”.

Check out these samples with this Joyful Flurry Bundle.

These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
