HOT CHOCOLATE BAR CATALOGUE REVIEW!

Jenny Hayward

A few weeks ago now I had the catalogue launch for the 2019 Holiday Catalogue.  I decided on a Hot Chocolate Bar for it.  Since Christmas is so hot here it’s not the time for Hot Chocolate.  Actually it had been quite hot the days leading up to the weekend so it was a bit ironic.  On the day though the weather cooled down.  It was a lot of fun and always so nice for everyone to see what is out for their Christmas creating.

I thought I would share a little bit of it with you.

Firstly, since it was a Hot Chocolate Bar I made up the little gifts in take-away coffee cups.  I know they are not environmentally friendly but I had these sitting around so why not use them.

They were decorated with the snowflake from the Christmas Layers Dies from the Dazzling Glimmer Paper.  It is a bit hard to see the sparkle.  How gorgeous is that Cherry Cobbler Diagonal stripe Ribbon.

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas set but check the frame.  You might actually miss these in the catalogue.  They are created with the Ornate Frames Dies from Shaded Spruce card and then a Cherry Cobber Scallop square from the Layering Squares Dies.

See it here closer.

In the cups I had some ribbon and little embellishments and of course the obligatory chocolate treat. 🙂

We made 2 cards on the day.  I will show you one today and then another tomorrow.

We used the Brightly Gleaming Suite for the cards.

The card above is quite simple really but it looks quite classy with the gorgeous shiny copper accents on the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and the sparkly Star Designer Elements. The Copper Foil was embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.  Doesn’t that look a cool effect.

When I made the card originally I made a small gift tag up with some “bits” left over.  It’s good to have a matching tag.

The Classic Weave Ribbon is gorgeous with the embossed copper words on it.

I will show you the other card next time.

Until then, why not stop on by my store and check out all the Brightly Gleaming items in the suite. HEAD -> HERE.

Thanks for visiting.  Be sure to stop by again to see the other project. And By the way, If you live in Wollongong be sure to come along to a class sometime.  We are a friendly bunch.  It will be great to see you.

SUNDAY SUITES – FEELS LIKE FROST!

Jenny Hayward

This suite I am showing you today is a very gorgeous one.  It has been very popular with many people.  You might have seen it around your blog travels yourself.

This is the Feels Like Frost Suite Bundle of products. Below you can see all that is contained in this suite. If you like it all you can get it for one Item Code which makes ordering easier. $135.50 AUD #153474

There is lots of sparkle and shine in this suite.  That’s why I think it is so popular.  Nothing like sparkle for Christmas.

I have to point out a couple of the products though.  How is this gorgeous (I know I keep saying it) but lovely Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper features photographic imagery on one side and hand-drawn designs with silver foil on the other side.  You receive 48 sheets of 6″x6″ paper –  4 each of 12 double-sided designs.

Colours: in the paper are: Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate, Whisper White.

You can see it -> HERE in more detail.  It is worth seeing it close up.  Check on each of the individual photos to see the prints.

Another fun product is the Shimmery Crystal Effects. We have had Crystal Effects before but this is all shimmery. Only $8.75 for a 15ml bottle.  See it -> HERE.

The Shimmery Crystal Effects has white and silver craft glitter flecks in the glossy lacquer. The small, thin tip makes it easy to outline stamped images or add detail. Be careful though using it right on your stamped image.  It may causing smudging.

Do you want to see more with this suite?

I have to say it again, It is gorgeous!  So head off and grab some now.

MAGNOLIA FLOURISH!

Jenny Hayward

Back with another Magnolia card today.  The Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper has been very popular.  Everyone who sees it just wants to have some. It is gorgeous.

I showed how to colour the paper last post.  That was cool.  Today though we are making the paper the feature.

You don’t need much more.

I diecut the gorgeous edging using the Delicate Lace Dies from the Petal Pink card.  The sentiment is from the Magnolia Blooms set and added a little Petal Pink Organdy ribbon and Adhesive Pearls for some elegance.

Simple as.  So go and cut in to that gorgeous paper.

Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #82 – COLOURING THE MAGNOLIA LANE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #82.  Today is a little technique, or a little trick however you like to look at it.  It is colouring the Designer Series Paper, particularly the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper with the Stampin’ Blends.

Perhaps you have seen this around the internet so apologies that you have already seen it. It’s not my original idea.  I have had this card made for a few weeks and just managing to share it with you now.  It might just be a new trick though for you.

The Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper is very pretty already. You really don’t need to add colour but it’s good to add a little different colour to make it for a totally different occasion.

Colouring with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends makes the flowers look more like Poinsettias for a Christmas paper.  With this particular print you don’t need to colour the leaves.  They will work just as well as they are.

So here is the finished card.

The sentiment for the card is from the Itty Bitty Christmas set punched out with the Timeless Label Punch. They are great Christmas sentiments in this.  Add a little of the Scalloped Lace Trim and I cut some gold leafy shapes using the Flourish dies.

It looks pretty Christmas-y now don’t you think?? 🙂

I am sure this would work well for other papers and colours too.  I was going to try another one but ran out of time.  Add it to the ‘To Do’ list.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

MAGNOLIA HALF-FOLD CARD!

Jenny Hayward

Today I have a Magnolia Card for you.  I shared a card recently with the Magnolia Blooms set.  This is another card I made at the time.

The Magnolia flower was coloured with the Petal Pink and the Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.

This is a Half-Fold Card.  The front of the card base is cut in half. I used a strip of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper down the left hand edge of the card base.

There is a smaller panel that is placed off the edge of the front flap with the magnolia image.  It’s simple but adds another dimension to your card.  See the inside below.

I should have coloured the inside leaves.  I forgot about them.

 

I’m really liking this Magnolia Blooms set.  Why?

  • It’s simple to use.
  • It’s easy to colour. The simple lines and shading makes it easy to follow when colouring to get the depth of colour on it.
  • It’s great for a Beginner stamper starting out in stamping but great for the Avid stamper who can step it up with other products they have.
  • It has great sentiments for any occasion.  I love the font too.
  • It’s affordable.  $24 AUD people! How great is that.

So have you got this set?? Really.  It’s one of THE most affordable sets in the catalogue.  You won’t find it in the Annual Catalogue.  It is in the Experience Creativity brochure.

Available to order in my store now -> HERE.

Please use the Host Code: 3JU96AZN

SUNDAY SUITES – TOILE TIDINGS!

Jenny Hayward

Today’s Sunday Suite is the Toile Tidings Suite in the Holiday Catalogue.  Lots of lovely products in this suite and all in the traditional red and green for Christmas.  Let’s check it out.

The Toile Tidings Suite Bundle. One Item code and it makes it easier than picking each item. $252 AUD It seems a lot but look at all you get.

The Toile Christmas Bundle.  I have to say I wasn’t sure about the Cardinal.  It is very popular in the US and perhaps in other parts but we don’t have them in Australia.  They are apparently a very symbolic bird though.  Which is interesting.

There is also another stamp and die bundle.  The Tidings All Around Bundle. I love that wreath.  Isn’t it gorgeous?

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper in the traditional red and green – Garden Green and Real Red.

In addition to the 12″x 12″ paper there is the Toile Tidings Gift Wrap.  This is 4 sheets in total.  2 Sheets each of 2 designs.  Each sheet is 24″ x 36″ or 61cm x 91cm.  Great for those larger gifts.

I have to say I love these Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots.  So sparkly!

Let’s see some more projects.

Do you like the Toile Tidings Suite?  Do you have Cardinals in your area?  It would be interesting to see.

The Toile Tidings Suite is available now in my store -> HERE.  When ordering please use the Host Code: 3JU96AZN

Receive the Tutorial Bundle free of 12 projects with your qualifying orders.  (Projects not including the Toile Tidings Suite)

PLAID CHRISTMAS GLEAMING!

Jenny Hayward

Sharing some Christmas Gleaming with you again today.  This is my recent one but I will be honest I am not sure about it.  I am putting it out here though but thought I tell you the process.

The idea was to punch out the ornament from the Wrapped in Plaid paper and adhere some co-ordinating card behind it.  This was Shaded Spruce card.  Then the smaller ornament was adhered on that had been embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder on Gold Foil and then punched with the smaller Gleaming Ornaments Punch. 

While the idea was there the execution didn’t seem quite right.

The centre of the ornament seemed bare so I stamped an ornament in Cherry Cobbler on to the Cherry Cobbler card and punched it out with the 1″ circle punch. It still seemed bare so I added a Gold Stitched Shapes Circle behind it. The bow seemed to finish it off more.

The sentiment was diecut with the Ornate Frames Dies.  

What do you think? I’m still unsure.

Thanks for visiting me,

Have a great day.

SUNDAY SUITES – BRIGHTLY GLEAMING!

Jenny Hayward

Now that the Holiday Catalogue is live we can share some of the suites from this catalogue.  Of course, I will be visiting the Annual Catalogue still as there is still so much to look at.

Today’s Sunday Suite is the Brightly Gleaming Suite.  I think this is my favourite from the catalogue.  Maybe it’s the shine and the gorgeous papers. Let’s look at them.

This is all that is included in the Brightly Gleaming Bundle.  So much shine and sparkle. 🙂

* Star Designer Elements
* Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements

This is the Christmas Gleaming Bundle with the stamp set and punch pack. $86.25 AUD #153006

BUT, you need to check the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The catalogue really doesn’t show the shine enough.

The colours in this pack are Copper Foil, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla.  This pack is so versatile though.  Some of those prints can be used for any occasion not just Christmas.

Ok, you need to check the paper out closer.  See it in the video below.

Included in this suite is this gorgeous ribbon. The Very Vanilla/Copper Classic Weave Ribbon.  Great for wrapping around your gifts or for tags or cards.

What about some projects.  These are ones featured in the catalogue.  I have lots I have been creating with it and I will be sharing those with you this week.

Isn’t that Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder cool??

Now on this card below the stamp set is not in the Suite but it works great with the Gleaming Ornaments Punches so I thought I would add that in for you. This is the Memories of Home stamp set.
