BEST DRESSED – ALWAYS IN STYLE!

January 13, 2020January 13, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Another Best Dressed card for you since I am on that roll at the moment. I will mix it up a bit never fear. 🙂

This is a sample I made for the display board at Onstage with the Best Dressed Suite.

You don’t need much with the gorgeous Best Dressed Designer Series Paper do you?? Such pretty little flowers and pretty colours.

I added a little stamping on the Petal Pink Stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes dies. To add colour to the perfume stamp one of the “wash” stamps. The sentiment was cut with one of the stitched labels in the All Dressed Up dies and then you can tuck one of the Best Dressed Tassels in behind it. I used a Glue Dot to stick it down. The Pretty Peacock strip down the side was embossed with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture.

I think Kindness is Always In Style right. The world needs a little more kindness.

Have a great day to you and share a little kindness today,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – BEST DRESSED SUITE!

January 12, 2020January 12, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Sunday Suites are back for 2020. This week since I have been sharing projects with the Best Dressed Suite let’s have a closer look at the whole suite.

I think the Best Dressed Suite is a really fun one and can be quite classy too.

This is what is included in the entire Best Dressed Suite Bundle.

The Best Dressed Suite Bundle includes:

* Dressed to Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)
* All Dressed Up Dies (10% off)
* Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper
* Mint Macaron 1/8″ (3.2 cm) Sheer Linen Ribbon
* Best Dressed 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Note Cards & Envelopes
* Best Dressed Tassels

Colours used in the suite are: Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Mint Macaron.

Let’s have a closer look at the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. It is gorgeous. One side has stylish images, the other side has floral prints either large or small.

One thing I learned when preparing my projects for Onstage was that the larger floral prints have been designed with white spaces around the flowers so you can easily fussy cut them to add directly to your projects. I will share more about that on another post.

The Best Dressed Notecards and envelopes make really quick note cards to give to others. They have a partly printed “swoosh” on the front of the card and the envelopes are printed on as well. There are 24 in total with the cards and envelopes and they come in Daffodil Delight, Purple Posy and Petal Pink. They are really sweet. They are little cards measuring 3″x3″ or 7.6cm x 7.6cm.

What about some samples with these mini notecards. These are straight from the catalogue. The notecards fit nicely inside the bag too so that gives you an idea of the size of the bag.

The All Dressed Dies are really fun. They make the sweetest little bags. You can change them up anyway you like. See the samples below. I have created a few fun bags already that I will share with you soon.

Don’t forget the Best Dressed Tassels as well. There are 18 in total. 6 each in Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock and Whisper White. With the White ones too you can colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or sit them in a little dish with reinker and water.

In the dies set is the long stitched die. It’s great for the handles on your bags or I have used it as an edging but what about this fun idea. Add the strips to the front of a card to create added texture. This card sample is from Stampin’ Up!

So what do you think of the Best Dressed Suite?? Fun hey??

BEST DRESSED – LIPSTICK STREAK!

January 10, 2020January 10, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Another card for you today with the Best Dressed Suite. This was another project I shared at Onstage last November with this suite.

The Dressed To Impress stamp set has some cute images and some really fun “wash” type images. These washes are great to add colour to the cute images as an alternative to colouring them with the inks or the Stampin’ Blends, or you can use them as background stamping.

The stamp set is below so you get an idea.

I wanted to show a different way of using one of the longer “wash” streaks. As you can see in the card below, use it as a nice long lipstick steak. Make it any colour you like, BUT – Be as Bold As Your Lipstick. 🙂

For this card a piece of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper was cut with a large Stitched Rectangles Dies and then one was cut on white card with a smaller of the rectangles.

On the Lovely Lipstick base card stamp some of the smaller flowers in the top left corner and the bottom right corner with Lovely Lipstick ink to give just a subtle background stamping.

On the white card stamp the “streak” across the bottom of the white card. I used Lovely Lipstick. Stamp your lipstick at an angle. This one was coloured with the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends on the base of the lipstick. The lipstick colour was stamped with the small circular “wash”.

Stamp the sentiment in Memento black and punch that out. Add a few loops of the Silver Thread behind it before raising it up off the card. Of course add some bling with the Rhinestones to finish.

Now go and streak that lipstick. 🙂

You can see this set and buy in store now -> HERE.

Don’t forget with every order with me you receive a Tutorial Bundle of 12 different projects as a little Thank you. Plus I send out a little card and small gift to say Thanks so be sure to not mark it anonymous when you order. AND with orders over $90 you receive your choice of Free Sale-A-Bration set.

Thanks for visiting me today. Have a great weekend,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #92 – BEST DRESSED FOR DIFFERENT CRAFTERS!

January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Back with Wednesday’s WOW! For the year. You might hear people talking about different types of crafters but what does all that mean – and what type of crafter are you? Today’s Wednesday’s WOW! #92 – Looking at the different types of crafter, or you might here them being referred to as customer types.

As part of my presentation at Onstage in November I needed to talk about the different crafters and make samples to suit. So this is a good time to share some of the cards I made using the Best Dressed Suite for these different crafters.

The different Crafter Types are Beginner, Casual and Avid. You can see the 3 cards below.

A BEGINNER CRAFTER:

– New to stamping

– Needs guidance with where to start

– Needs a good experience and sense of accomplishment

– Wants simple designs and easy to use products.

– Wants affordable products.

So the top card is suitable for a Beginner crafter. The Note Cards and Envelopes are affordable and easy to use. Just add some simple stamping on the card and the envelope is great to stamp on as well.

A CASUAL CRAFTER:

– Likes to be helped when crafting

– Crafts occasionally

– More likely to copy projects

– Likes simple designs

– Needs crafting to fit the time they have

– Has less funds available for supplies

– Likes multiple uses for products

The card above is still simple in design but uses a little more products. The paper adds an extra touch to the card but is still affordable. Limited tools are needed to make the card. By layering the lipstick this will add some dimension to the card. The lipstick is easy to fussy cut if the crafter doesn’t have a die-cutting machine.

AN AVID CRAFTER:

– Crafts daily to weekly

– Frequently creates projects from scratch

– Does like a casual experience occasionally

– Makes crafting part of their lifestyle

– Frequently buys and uses the products

– Buys more frequently than beginner and casual crafters

– “collects” products

– Likes specialised products

The above card is suitable for an Avid crafter. It has several layers adding dimension to the card. It uses a number of different products as in the dies and the papers and even a little Wink of Stella sparkle on the lipstick. An Avid crafter loves it all and wants it all. Do you know an avid crafter?? 😉

****

So what type of crafter are you?? Are you a “collector”of crafting products? do you stamp frequently?? I think I waver between a Casual and Avid stamper. I like projects to be quick and I have a simple style but I do create often and like to have some “tools”.

Hope you found this helpful or slightly interesting at least. Maybe it inspires you in some way. 🙂

How ever often you create or what style you create I hope you enjoy it and that you be sure you take time for you to create. It’s important for the soul.

Have a great day,

Jenny

BEST DRESSED – HELLO FABULOUS!

January 6, 2020January 6, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Last November I presented with the Best Dressed Suite at the Onstage event in Sydney. I have lots of projects with this bundle and I can’t wait to share them with you now. So over the next few days and week you will see some cute samples.

Today’s card was not one from my presentation but was a sample I created for the display.

Hello Fabulous! Isn’t that a great sentiment?? 🙂

I just used some of the gorgeous Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. There are some great label dies in the All Dressed Up dies. I layered them together. You know what I love about these dies?? They are stitched!! YAY!

If you look closely the Pretty Peacock strips under the paper is using the Stitched strip die. It just shows a little edge of stitching peering out. It’s adds another dimension to your card. Finish the card off with some loops of the Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon under the sentiment labels.

The Best Dressed Suite is available now in store. You can grab the Dressed To Impress Bundle or grab the whole suite. 🙂 See them -> HERE.

Stop back here for more projects with this suite. It’s such a fun one.

ESAD 2020 MINI CATALOGUE AND SALE-A-BRATION BLOG HOP!

January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Time for another ESAD Blog Hop. This time we are sharing projects from the new 2020 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created. You might have come from Cathy’s Blog -> HERE or starting from this blog. The full list of participants will be below.

Firstly with the Blog Hop. What is ESAD anyway??

Now for my project. It’s a very hard decision to work out what you are going to use with these Blog Hops. There are so many new and exciting products. What’s a person to do?? 🙂 In the end I chose to use the new So Sentimental Bundle because I love the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I think many people will love them. I have made a few projects with them recently but today I have this one to share with you.

I created a card and a little treat holder with the Kraft Pillow boxes.

With the card you don’t need too much with the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Add a piece of this to a Granny Apple Green card mat and add this to the Poppy Parade card base. The Granny Apple Green is not a colour that is featured in the paper but I think it gives it a little POP against the Poppy Parade colour.

The sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set was stamped on white and cut with one of the label shapes in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set. This was layered on to a piece of Granny Apple Green cut with one of the other label die shapes. It’s hard to tell but I embossed the green card with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

I tied around some Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Wait, what?? Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Where is that in the catalogue??

It’s actually the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon on p 25 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue. You can create any colour ribbon you like with the Stampin’ Blends.

Check it out below. Just run along the ribbon with the Stampin’ Blends Marker. It dries quickly and ready to use on your projects.

Now for the Treat Holder.

Assemble the Kraft Pillow Box. Then wrap a strip of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper around the Pillow Box. I wrapped around some more ribbon I had coloured around the box too.

The label for this box was using a different stamp in the So Sentimental stamp set and cut with different dies in the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The Granny Apple Green card was embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder as well.

If you haven’t noticed the So Sentimental Bundle you can find it on p 20 of the Mini Catalogue. It has the different label shapes and Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies of varying sizes. Great for layering together. Available for $56 AUD.

SOME SPECIAL CUSTOMER THANK YOU CARDS!

December 30, 2019December 29, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I can show you these cards now. Recently I made these Thank You cards for a special group of customers. This group has been with me for 10 years now supporting me, encouraging me and attending my events. I wanted to mark the special occasion.

I made a couple of different variations but using similar products.

Paper: Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper,

Card: Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Balmy Blue.

Stamps: Butterfly Gala, Magnolia Blooms.

Inks: Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight,

Dies: Stitched Rectangles Dies, Stitched Nested Dies.

Other: Butterfly Duet Punch, Adhesive Rhinestones, Adhesive Pearls.

I wanted to tell you how I created the butterflies. I stamped the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set on white card. Before I punched them out I sponged over them. Firstly with a colour in the centre and then around the outside with another colour. The butterflies were all different colours. I punched them out with the Butterfly Duet Punch. To add some highlights I sponged around the edge of the butterfly with the colour I used on the outer edges.

I really appreciate these lovely group of ladies. They changed the direction of my business and continue to support me. They have become lovely friends.

Now let me just take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you. Thanks for all your support, your comments when you can, your pinning and Thanks for visiting my corner of Blog land. It’s because of you I post often hoping to inspire you. I hope I do that. Thanks for your support.

I’m looking forward to a new year of creating and sharing.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

TEAM CHRISTMAS SWAPS!

December 21, 2019December 20, 2019 Jenny Hayward

It was the last team meeting for the year on Wednesday. I wanted to share the swaps I received. I have to say I didn’t get to make any swaps for this time but people were very generous in giving me one.

Firstly, this tag set is from Bonnie. She made a cute little holder for the 6 tags. There were lots of different stamp sets used to create these tags.

Christmas treats and a tag. I liked the way Barbara made the tag using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. They are all lovely. I am sorry I don’t have any directions for the little chocolate box. The window is cut using the Stitched Rectangles dies though. It is really sweet.
