STAMPIN’ UP! ONSTAGE SWAPS, SNEAKS AND WHERE AM I AT?

Jenny Hayward

You have probably heard a lot of talk of the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event last weekend. You might have even gone yourself at one of the event centres. I went to the Onstage in Sydney, Australia. It was awesome connecting with all my Stampin’ Up! Friends again rather than see them on a screen or on Social Media. It fills your cup. 🙂

I put together a Video Sharing the Swaps I receive. You could see photos of the Swaps. (And I will share them in the next post later) but showing them in the Video I can look more closely at the details and look at all that extra texture. I share some Sneak Peeks and news too. And What is happening in my World. Changes are coming! (I will add that further below too).

You can see that Video -> HERE (if it doesn’t show below)

Of course going to Onstage we receive a Swag of goodies including a Tote Bag, pens, notebook and other bits. Also some Prize Patrol and … Paper Pumpkin. More on that in another post too.

It’s taken a while and finally cracked the 200,000 CSV in Sales (equivalent to just over 300,000 AUD). I got to do a stage walk for that. Pretty exciting!

So, What’s happening in my World…

Changes are coming. I’m still not 100% sure how I will navigate it but it will work out I am sure. I mention briefly in the video but thought I would give more background.

I have been running Face to Face Classes for nearly all of the 18 years I have been a Demonstrator. It’s been wonderful meeting in person and sharing cardmaking.

We are moving. Soon, my studio, our large shed and our house is being demolished. (Quietly freaking out here now …). We are building a new house so will rent elsewhere during the build. With our rental house I will have a small craft room and when we return to our new house I will have a small craft room also. But the designated Studio will be gone. I still endeavour to hold classes though. You can still have fun around the Dining Table. While I’m renting it may be a little more difficult but I will try.

I’m planning to turn more frequently to Online. Maybe some more regular videos, maybe some Online Classes. What would you like to see more of?

It’s all fun and exciting, scary and overwhelming. But we will work some way to create together.

So I will leave you to watch the video. I will share more of the swaps and news in later posts.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

CHRISTMAS TAGS INSPIRATION!

Jenny Hayward

Only days out to Christmas but maybe you still need some inspiration for your Christmas Tags. These could be added straight to a Card Front too for Cards if you prefer.

These tags we made at our last Christmas Tag Class recently.

I have used a number of different products on these tags. You could use the same or substitute with what you have.

These tags used: the Ornamental Christmas Bundle. The Festive Friends Bundle. Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. The Patterned Tags Dies.

Here are some more Tag ideas that I have created from past years.

If you are still madly creating for Christmas I hope that you get it completed soon. And if it doesn’t get done don’t stress. All will be Ok.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! BRANCHING OUT BUNDLE WHILE FLIPPING THE PEACEFUL GREENERY EMBOSSING FOLDER ~

Jenny Hayward

We had our Branching Out Class last week. We made 3 different cards with this Bundle. It is so diverse and I will show you the cards over time but this is one of them.

We embossed the Mossy Meadow Card Mat with the Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder. Then diecut the leaf stems and the pinecones.

While I was sitting in the class I assembled one of the cards and decided to flip the embossed Card Mat. It gives a different impression but still looks ok I think.

What do you think? I don’t think there is a right or wrong with this folder. It just gives a different impression for your project.

If you are a Wollongong local I would love to see you at our classes. They have a lot of fun. I usually advertise them here on my blog or on my website or Facebook. If you still can’t find them contact me. It would be great to see you.

Hope you get some creative time in soon,

Jenny

FRAMED PRETTY FLORALS CARD – SAME BUT DIFFERENT!

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Pretty Florals Bundle. I have shared some different ones already. These 2 cards are very similar. There are just some variations.

They have the same paper, the Florals in Bloom Paper, and I have created the black frames to really highlight the flowers. You might be able to tell the differences though.

The one with the Fresh Freesia flowers is using the larger diecut flower and the outline edge. I sponged over a little Fresh Freesia ink to add some extra definition. This one is on a Fresh Freesia Card Base. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set and diecut with the Mixed Labels Dies. We made this one in our class last week using the Pretty Florals Bundle.

The other one is with the small pink flowers. The flowers are in Pretty In Pink and the little edges, (Not sure what you would call them) are in the Strawberry Slush. This one has a Pretty In Pink Card Base. The sentiment on this one is from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set I think.

So which one do you prefer?

This is a great bundle. I have had a lot of fun creating with it.

SPARKLE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES ~

Jenny Hayward

Back to more Butterfly cards. I have used the Beautiful Butterflies a lot!

This was one of the cards we made at class last week for my Card Buffet. It’s simple but with the diecut butterfly shape cut in paper it adds an extra element. The paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Paper. Then a little sparkle in Glimmer Paper was added. Got to love a sparkly, fluttery butterfly!

The wavy Embossed background gives a look of movement for the butterfly too. The Soft Waves Embossing Folder is a great versatile Folder. You don’t have to just use it for wavy seas.

The sentiment is from the Labeled With Love Stamp Set.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

BEAUTIFUL BOKEH BUTTERFLIES CARDS

Jenny Hayward

I have been playing a lot with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle along with the Beautiful Bokeh Paper. They are a pretty combination together.

For some simple cards I embossed the paper with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I love the depth of texture you get with this folder. The paper gives you the Bokeh effect without creating the mess doing the technique.

These are 2 of the colours. A Balmy Blue look and Calypso Coral.

Then there is this one a little more blue and Fresh Freesia showing on the pattern.

I diecut 3 butterflies in white card to add to the card with a simple HELLO Sentiment. This was cut with the Perennial Postage Dies. Simple but sweet cards. We made this as one of our cards in class last week.

What colour do you like?

This is the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle which includes the Stamp Set, the Dies and the Hybrid Embossing Folder.

SWEET SUNDAY WITH STAMPIN’ UP HUMBLE HOME!

Jenny Hayward

Sweet Sunday with the Humble Home Bundle. The Bundle comes with the Stamp Set and Punch. This is a new addition to my collection. Why did I wait so long… Do you have it yourself?

This was one of the cards we created for Our Christmas Card Buffet on Friday.

I have used the retired paper Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I thought the Candy Canes were so cute and suited the little house.

I stamped and coloured the house as I had in the recent video with this set. You can head back a post to see the video there. It was stamped on Crumb Cake card but it seems more yellow in the photo. The scallops were coloured in Real Red Stampin’ Blends, the window sills in Pecan Pie and the door in the Dark Granny Apple Green.

The white card piece with the sentiment was diecut with one of the rectangular dies from the Everyday Details Dies.

It’s a simple card but it’s cute. And when you have a Buffet of cards you want to keep them fairly simple to be able to make a lot and move on to the next course.

This is the cute Humble Home Stamps and Punch set.

You can see it more in my store -> HERE.

Happy Christmas Creating,

Jenny

LOVE AND JOY WITH NESTS OF WINTER PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

This is a simple card with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

The paper has such pretty bird images. This one you don’t need too much with. I added the Love and Joy from the Greetings of the Season Stamps and diecut it with the Nested Essentials Die. I added a smaller one diecut with Red Glimmer Paper. It just adds a little sparkle to the simpleness.

This is one of the cards we made at our recent Nests of Winter Class. I usually start off with a simple card and then move on to more detailed ones. Such fun! If you are local in Wollongong come along. Or you can have the Card Kits mailed out to you if you are in Australia.

This is the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.
