BIRD BALLAD WEEK DAY 5 – CUTE TAGS!

June 21, 2019August 13, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I have been sharing cards all week for my Bird Ballad Week. Have you liked seeing them? Today I thought I would show you some tags I have made.

These first ones are very simple. I adhered a strip of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to a strip of White card. This makes the tags more sturdy. Then I could punch them with the new Delightful Tag Topper Punch. It was just a matter of tying through some Mint Macaron Ribbon and I added a small sentiment on Petal Pink card with some loops of Silver Thread behind.

I made a number of these tags below. These were little Thank You tags for customer orders this month. Did you get one??

For these tags I added some of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to White card again and punched them out with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. These were then decorated a little differently.

For the “thank you” flower one I stamped the flower on some scrap white card and coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment was stamped on Mint Macaron card and punched out with the new Timeless Label Punch. I positioned the flower on the card so I could see where to stamp the leaves on it. Then when I had done that I raised up the flower with Dimensionals.

For the other tag I stamped the sentiment (which is from a Demonstrator stamp set – Workshop Words Too). It’s hard to see but I diecut a flower from the Wild Rose Dies out of Vellum and added it under the sentiment piece.

Did you see the fringing though?? This is made from the Woven Threads Trim. I just pulled off the stitching from along the bottom to the length I wanted. Here you can see it clearer in the photo below.

Below is an image for you to PIN on Pinterest as an easy reminder.

There you have it. 5 Days of the Bird Ballad Suite showing lots of different projects with this lovely suite. I am sure I will be creating a lot more with them so watch out.

BIRD BALLAD WEEK DAY 4 – CATALOGUE KICK OFF MAKE AND TAKE!

June 20, 2019August 13, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Bird Ballad Week Day 4. Have you liked the projects so far?

A few weeks ago I had my Catalogue Kick-Off event for everyone to come and see the new catalogue and have fun creating. This was one of the cards that everyone got to make using the Bird Ballad Suite.

I have CASED this card from Angie’s blog -> HERE. I loved the simpleness of it yet it is still elegant. Everyone who came to my Kick-Off loved the card too.

I used the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and the gorgeous Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. The birds were coloured with the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. I had never used Petal Pink until a few weeks ago. Now I am really starting to love it – possibly. They certainly work nicely with this suite.

You can grab the Bird Ballad Bundle in my store now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: H2BBRFTE

I really love those Stitched Nested Labels Dies. You won’t be sorry you bought those. You can buy them as the bundle or individually.

Thanks for visiting today. Have a great day/night wherever you may be visiting me from.

BIRD BALLAD WEEK – DAY 2 – MORE WITH THE GORGEOUS PAPER!

June 18, 2019June 20, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I have 2 more cards for you forDay 2 of Bird Ballad Week. These use the gorgeous Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper again and now with a little colouring with the Stampin’ Blends.

This one above is another really quick card. This little birdie was coloured with the Petal Pink and the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. It was inspired by the sweet birds on the paper. I just added some of the gorgeous Mint Macaron Ribbon.

For this one above I diecut a window using the new Stitched Nested Labels Dies in the Calypso Coral card base. I added a piece of the Bird Ballad paper behind it. To cover it on the inside of the card I adhered a piece of white card over it. You don’t have to do that if you don’t want to. I just thought that would make it look neater on the inside.

Back to the front of the card I stamped some small flowers in Calypso Coral ink over the front of the card and added a “thank you” – nervously I must admit as I didn’t want to mess it up. But all good that worked.

On some additional Thick Whisper White I stamped some of the flowers and leaves in Memento Black ink and coloured them in with the Stampin’ Blends. These were fussy cut out.

Thanks for visiting me again today. See you tomorrow for some more pretty birds.

STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD JUNE BLOG HOP – DAISY LANE!

June 13, 2019June 13, 2019 Jenny Hayward

It’s time for another exciting Blog Hop with Stamping Around the World Team. You might have come from Linda’s Blog HERE or starting on my blog. Either way. Enjoy seeing all the amazing projects from Demonstrators around the World.

Each month the team all contribute tutorials to send out as a Thank You for when you order with any one of us. That’s pretty exciting – and I can tell you these projects have been pretty amazing AND they are exclusive too so you won’t see them anywhere else. I am honoured to be a part of it.

The idea with these Blog Hops is to share a project with you with products we have used in our Tutorial for the month. I have used the new Daisy Lane Bundle.

Today I have 2 cards using the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Medium Daisy Punch. I have also used the larger Daisy Punch.

The layout for the cards was based on the Freshly Made Sketches #339. I thought it was a great way to use the paper. On these cards I used the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper.

It’s great way to show off the both side of the paper. The Designer Series Paper needs to be square and to be the width of the white card mat whatever size you choose to make the card in. These are standard card sizes. See the measurements below.

Card Measurements:

Card Base: Mint Macaron 14.8cm x 21cm Scored at 10.5cm (5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″)

Soft Suede Card Mat: 10.1cm x 14.4cm (4 1/8″x 5 3/8″)

Whisper White Card Mat: 9.7cm x 14cm (4”x 5 1/4″)

Designer Series Paper: 9.7cm x 9.7cm (4″x 4″).

Cut the DSP diagonally and flip one side. For these cards I used 2 different prints in the pack and actually swapped one half with the other as I thought the colours worked better together.

See the cards close up

I have punched 2 flowers of each size and layered them together. The flowers were stamped in Soft Suede. and I used the Gold Faceted Gems in the centre of the flowers.

The sentiments are from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.

Now the Daisy Lane Bundle is in store now -> HERE for $61 AUS When shopping in store please use the Host Code: H2BBRFTE

If you have the Daisy Delight set and the larger Daisy Punch then this is a great compliment to them and will really extend your creating so you can make the layered daisies in both sizes. You can grab those in my store too if you haven’t already got them. With your qualifying orders you will get the Tutorial bundle with 12 projects that I will send out to you.

NEW WONDERS CHALLENGE CARD!

June 11, 2019June 11, 2019 Jenny Hayward

It was a long weekend here for us this weekend. With a little extra time and for something fun we had a different kind of challenge on my Facebook group. I got the group members to design my next card. Twice on Saturday and then on Sunday I set a Poll with different categories for the card each time. There were 4 different options in each category and they could vote on it. The categories were Stamp sets to use, Colour Collection, Style and shape that must be on it.

The end result was that the stamp set New Wonders was chosen using Subtles colours. It was to be in Vintage style (which is not one I do much of) and it had to have a oval on it. So do you want to see the card??

I was happy that this set was chosen as I have been using this a bit lately – and it is a bit sweet. 🙂 I posted some cards yesterday here on my blog. Head back a post if you missed it. I think I pulled the vintage style off ok as it is not my usual style. I used a little distressing and a little sponging.

When I put together a card from scratch myself I often turn to card sketches to help. This one was based on this Sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #251.

Have you joined my Facebook group yet?? Head -> HERE and ask to join.

Thanks for visiting me.

NEW WONDERS TRIO!

June 10, 2019June 10, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I don’t really do cute-sy, But I really loved this sweet set New Wonders in the catalogue. It arrived recently and of course had to have a play.

Disclaimer: I am not great at colouring. And I will try and avoid it if I can. I will say though that this set makes colouring a whole lot easier. The designers of this set have created shadows in the images so I just followed these to give the different depths of colour. A bit like Colour by number except with shading instead.

Here are the trio of cards for you.

I will show you them individually to get a closer look.

This one above was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The Highland Heather mat is embossed with the Lace 3D embossing Folder.

The top one here is coloured with the Stampin’ Blends as well. I have to say this was the second attempt at colouring this one. It wasn’t going well. I outlined the little fairy image with the Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends to give it some dimension. It’s much softer than the grey I usually use. I have used the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder with this one. I love the sweet sentiments in this set too. Behind the diecut circle the image is on I diecut a scalloped circle in the Dazzling Glimmer Paper. That is a little hard to see though.

This one above in Rococo Rose is coloured with the Watercolor Pencils. While the Stampin’ Blends are easy to use I do prefer to colour with the pencils. I feel I have a little more control with the colours. To highlight the “hi” I gave it a light wash with the Daffodil Delight pencil and washed it a little with the Aquapainter. I have used the gorgeous Scalloped Lace Trim on each card.

Do you like this set? It’s a sweet one.

This New Wonders set is a Host set and only available as a Host of an event when the total orders are over $250 AUS OR if your own orders are over $250. I have had a few of those already with people stocking up on all the gorgeous products in the catalogue.

Shop in my store now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code EUEAGC3N

All orders receive a little “something” from me. And if your order is over $78 AUS receive the exclusive project tutorial Bundle to make 12 gorgeous projects.

Thanks for stopping by. And if you are in Australia I hope you have enjoyed the Long Weekend. Maybe extra time to create. 🙂

MAGNOLIA LANE MEMORIES AND MORE CARDS!

June 6, 2019June 6, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Since I have been sharing about the Good Morning Magnolia suite this week I thought I would share these cards. Since the Magnolia suite is just so gorgeous I had to get these Magnolia Lane Memories and More cards. I don’t do a lot of memory keeping (well very little) but these are not just for your memory keeping/scrapbooking. They make the most absolutely gorgeous cards.

Here are two I made recently.

The top one I used 2 of the cards. The larger one and the small size. The large one was adhered to a Petal Pink card base. For the smaller card I stamped the sentiment from the Bird Ballad stamp set in Mossy Meadow card. Added some of the gorgeous Petal Pink ribbon and raised that up off the card with Dimensionals.

This next one I added the larger card to a Mint Macaron card base. Before I did that I wrapped around some Mint Macaron ribbon. The smaller card was already printed so I just raised that up off the card with Dimensionals.

These cards are so quick to make up.

With some of these smaller cards in the set I made up some little Thank you tags for the gift packs I made for my Catalogue Kick-off last weekend BUT … I forgot to take any photos. I couldn’t believe it!

Hope you like the cards though.

You can grab these Magnolia Lane Memories and More card pack in my store -> HERE. You get 50 Cards (2 each of 25 designs) for only $19.25 AUS. There is also some vellum cards and some gorgeous Magnolia stickers. Please use the Host Code: EUEAGC3N when you order. You need to get these.

Everyone who purchases these this week will receive a sampler of the Mint Macaron and the Petal Pink ribbon as a little Thank You.

Thanks for stopping by.

Well today I am going to share with you how to create your own Paper Magnolia Flowers.

Very simple and very gorgeous. I like that you can make the smaller flowers too. Ok. Are you off to make some Magnolia Flowers now?

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER:
