WHY I LOVE SHARING STAMPING??

March 10, 2016March 10, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Three posts in one day. What is happening! Today I have been feeling a little reflective and I thought I would share some things with you. I have been on this journey with Stampin’ Up! for 7 1/2 years now. It has been a crazy time. You know I still don’t know all there is to stamping and cardmaking. There is always fun new techniques and products to play around with. Sometimes I wonder why am I doing this though.

I always come back to the conclusion that I love sharing stamping with others. I love sharing my projects with you here on my blog. (I do hope you like what I share – if you don’t well I guess you won’t come back will you!! LOL). I love sharing my projects with my customers in my class room. It’s always a fun time and I have to say that sometimes they laugh at my expense. Well hey, I am not perfect am I. There are never any mistakes in stamping though right. 🙂 I love it though when new people I meet have that smile on their face that says “I did it!” after continually telling me that they are not crafty.

I love sharing projects I make with others too to give as gifts or to celebrate an occasion. That’s what it is all about. Sharing with others. I am thankful to Stampin’ Up! for enabling me to do this. Without Stampin’ Up! I wouldn’t have fantastic products to use, I wouldn’t have team mates and wonderful friends here and around the world that I can share with. I couldn’t afford to buy all these amazing products without the great discount I get or the little freebies (or rewards!) I get along the way.

I love being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator to be able to do all this. I am thankful for all it has given me. I am thankful for my customers (who I call my friends). Many who have been with me from those very early days. I am thankful for my friends I have made near and far. I am thankful to my blog readers (MWAH!). I will be around for a little while still.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MY LIFE!

I found this on the internet. I hope they don’t mind me sharing but it sums it all up really.

IT’S MY PARTY THANKS TAGS!

March 1, 2016March 1, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I forgot to show you these. So many other exciting things to show. I made a number of these tags a couple of weeks ago for the lovely ladies who ordered at my Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogue Launch.

These were very quick to make. They had to be. I cut a strip of white card 10cm x 5cm (4″ x 2″) and a piece of the ‘It’s My Party’ DSP stack. I adhered them together and then punched out the end with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I added a strip of the Sahara Sand print from the ‘It’s My Party’ stack along the bottom. I then tied around some of the Melon Mambo or Mint Macaron Baker’s Twine. The greeting is from the ‘Tin of Cards’ set and that was raised up with dimensionals and then a couple of the balloons from the ‘Party Wishes’ set were stamped and punched out to add to this. I think I may have even added some sparkle with the Wink of Stella brush. It’s a bit hard to see that though sadly.

Thanks for stopping by today,

LAUNCHING THE NEW OCCASIONS CATALOGUE!

February 1, 2016February 1, 2016 Jenny Hayward

On Saturday I had my Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Launch. I know that the catalogue has been around for nearly a month but with our School Holidays on it is a bit hard to get people together. So it was Launch day on Saturday. It was fun! Thanks to all the lovely ladies who came and it was nice to see some new faces and some regular ladies too.

So what did we do?? Well, it was a party of course. With all the fun party products in the catalogue, why wouldn’t we. There was balloons and cake and treat bags for everyone. You know I got so busy and I forgot to take photos of everything. 😦 I will share what we did though.

I can show you the Treat Bags I made. I was inspired by a couple of projects I had seen recently on Pinterest and shared by Stampin’ Up! too.

These are 2 versions of them. I have used some lunch bags and cut part way down the front and folded down the flap. I added a strip of the ‘It’s My Party’ DSP and then cut a strip of card with the star Thinlets from the Mini Treat Bags. The cake from ‘Party Wishes’ was stamped on white card and then it was cut with a mid-size Circle Thinlets. I added a punched flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack, a Dot from the ‘It’s My Party’ Enamel Dots pack and finished off with a bow from either the Melon Mambo or Mint Macaron Baker’s Twine. The greeting from ‘Party Wishes’ was stamped down the bottom of the bag.

I filled the bag with some 6″x6″ pieces of the ‘It’s My Party’ DSP stack and a square of the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. Of course there may have been some chocolate and other treats in there too. 😉

I had some different products set up to have a test run like the ‘Bloomin’ Heart Thinlets Die and Die Brush and the Confetti Embossing Folder and ‘Wink of Stella’ Brush. All good fun too.

Now for the Make and Take. I can’t take credit for these cards. I CASED them from Janet HERE. I loved how you can use the Rose Garden Thinlets as a mask. Everyone loved the idea too and started thinking of other dies that they could do this with.

For this card we cut the rose and leaves out from some Whisper White card. Then placing it on to a Whisper White card mat carefully sponge the Watermelon Wonder ink over the rose adding more ink to the centre. Sponge the leaves with Mint Macaron. It doesn’t matter if the ink merges with each other or goes out of the lines. It’s all part of the effect. We then embossed some dots in gold from ‘Timeless Textures’ and heat embossed the greeting from ‘Rose Wonder’ in gold too. The card piece was adhered to a Mint Macaron card base and the greeting was raised up with dimensionals.

I showed everyone then how to use the mask you have sponged. Don’t waste it, you can create another card. I have used ‘Timeless Textures’ again stamping in Sahara Sand on white card. The greeting was stamped in black, cut with the framelit and sponged around the edge. This was all adhered to a card base in Watermelon Wonder.

Here they are together. A nice matching pair.

If you would like me to come and share some fun, creative ideas with you and your friends then let me know. OK maybe not my international visitors. 🙂 With Sale-A-Bration there are lots of extra free products you can receive. Let’s fix a date now!

Thanks for visiting me today. Visit again soon,

TIMELESS TEXTURES IN SUEDE!

January 18, 2016January 18, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I had overlooked the ‘Timeless Textures’ stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue. I really couldn’t see how I would use it but then at our Team Stamping Day last weekend I saw a card that my friend Leonie made and I wanted to CASE it. I soon discovered what a great set it was. Lots of little elements that could be used on their own or to create backgrounds with other stamps. It’s a great alternative to ‘Gorgeous Grunge’. So since then I may have purchased this set myself. 😉

Here is the card. This was originally CASED from Pinterest. I made mine in Soft Suede. I am keen to try this in other colours to see how it would look.

I used Crumb cake for the “speckly” edge and for some of the “dots”. The rest of the images were stamped in Soft Suede. The greeting is from ‘Rose Wonder’ set and cut with the matching framelits.

Here is a tip to create a mat for the framelit from my friend Leonie. Trace around the outside edge of the framelit with pencil on to some scrap card. Then cut it out with scissors and rub out the pencil marks. Clever idea!! I added some Linen Thread loops behind the greeting too. This might be good for a masculine card??

This is the inside.

So I think this is a good addition to your stamps. Here is the set so you can see all the different elements.

It is $49 for Wood mount and $35 for Clear mount. I think you will find this set very useful. Stay tuned for some more projects with this set.

POINSETTIA SPARKLE!

October 15, 2015October 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Today’s card I want to share is using the great bundle ‘Reason For The Season’ stamp set and Festive Flower Builder Punch. I love how this card came together.

The base card is Real Red. That seems to be the colour card I have used most with these recent Christmas cards! I embossed some Whisper White cardstock with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. The flower is so easy to put together. Stamp out all your petals and leaves, I have used Real Red on Whisper White and Mossy Meadow ink on the cardstock. I punched out a circle with the 1 3/8″ circle punch in scrap white card and built up the flower on this. I have used the Multipurpose adhesive to adhere it all together. The centre is punched out with Gold Foil and I added a Real Red Brights Candy Dot to the centre. The “merry” cut from Gold Foil is from the Christmas Greetings Thinlets.

I would really recommend this Bundle. You can find it on p31 of the Holiday Catalogue. In Australia it is $57.75. Save 15% as a Bundle. Gotta love that! You can order this through my Online Store HERE or by phoning/emailing me.

Here are these great products.
