BEAUTIFUL YOU IN THE MOONLIGHT!

February 14, 2017February 14, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Last Saturday I held a ‘Beautiful You’ class showing lots of techniques that could be used with the very versatile set. It was very well received I think. I was busy last week playing a lot with this set to create some samples. I thought I would share some of the projects this week.

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest stamping it on black card so I really wanted to give it a go. Here is the card.

It is stamped with the White Craft Ink Pad. I thought I might have had to heat emboss it in White but I think it turned out crisp enough. For the moon, I punched out a circle from a Post It Note with the 2″ circle punch and laid the negative on the card in position and sponged ink over the punched circle. I then added a few highlights with the Blender Pen and ink.

The black card was adhered to Sweet Sugarplum and then to a Black card base. I added some Rhinestones to finish it off. I thought I would just keep it simple.

I will be back with some more cards with this great set later in the week.

A DIFFERENT WAY WITH FALLING PETALS!

February 11, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Another project from my Catalogue Review last week. I thought this needed it’s own post. 🙂

At my classes I show the cards and give everyone the same materials but I am happy for them to use their own creativity. I always learn so much when they do too. I thought I would share this idea with you. It’s pretty clever – and a pretty card too.

This was made by my lovely friend Harmony who is very creative. I love watching her work. This is what she created with some of the card she was given – and she used the Falling Petals Embossing in a totally different way. Check it out.

Harmony embossed the white card with the Embossing Folder. Then with the fine tip end of the Black Marker she drew lines down from some of the petals. I think they look like hearts a lot of them. This created little heart petals. Then with the Aquapainter (I didn’t have the blender pen available at the time) she very lightly coloured some of the petals with the Blushing Bride ink. It is regular Whisper White card so you don’t want to press too heavily with the colouring using the Aquapainter. Then she sponged the edge of the card and distressed it slightly. The sentiment is from Dragonfly Dreams.

Isn’t this so pretty? What a great idea! I have to try this myself sometime. I forgot to take a photo of the other card she made. Completely different again!

Thanks for visiting. If you want to give her some comment love I will be sure to pass it on. 🙂

OCCASIONS AND SALE-A-BRATION SAMPLER!

February 10, 2017February 10, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Last post I shared some of the creative fun from my Catalogue Reviews held last weekend. I forgot to share one more project. So I guess this gets it’s own little post.

With all the busyness leading up to last weekend with creating I was starting to run out of time. So I decided to use this frame I had sitting around for a while and make little samplers of some of the products. It is only simple but was a good way of showing them. Here it is for you to see.

I included a sample of some of the papers and the dies and then embellished them. It worked well I think??? The pieces are adhered in each box with glue dots so I can easily remove them and use them on cards. Then I can replace them with products from later catalogues. It’s a simple way of showing off some of the products.

What do you think??

Thanks for visiting. I have lots of samples to share that I made for my launch so I will get to share those soon.

For those on the East Coast of Australia, keep cool. The weather is heat wave conditions at the moment. I have lost count of how many days in a row it has been now. It’s a bit hard to be creative in this heat I will say.

CATALOGUE REVIEW UPDATE!

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Finally I can share some of the fun from my Catalogue Review last weekend for the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogues. I had a session on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Lots of laughs and creativity was involved I can assure you. 🙂

Firstly, I always like to make little gift bags up for my lovely guests and spoil them with some “bits” from the new catalogue. (Also a chocolate treat is a must in the bags!). These are the little bags this time.

These are using the Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bags in the Annual Catalogue. You know I did mean to emboss these bags BUT …. Well that slipped my mind until afterwards. I used a strip of the gorgeous Falling In Love DSP and flagged the end of the piece. From a square of the Sweet Sugarplum cardstock I cut the larger flower from the Stylish Stems Framelits and then layered it on some Whisper White cardstock. I thought the centre was a bit plain so I coloured it with the Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil and lightly brushed it over with the Aquapainter. This lightened the colour a little so it matched with the Kraft bags. I went over it with the Clear Wink of Stella pen for sparkle, although you can’t see that in the photo sadly.

The sentiment is from the Dragonfly Dreams set which I had coloured the “thanks” with the black marker before stamping it. Then punched it out with the Duo Banner Punch.

These are the cards we made. The first one using Dragonfly Dreams Bundle and the Falling Petals Embossing Folder. I had Cased this off Pinterest changing the Embossing Folder and adding the touch of the Paper Doily behind it.

The second card was Cased off Pinterest too using the Sale-A-Bration sets Avant Garden and Delicate Details. I LOVE both these sets! Sadly I lost my little stamens from the Avant Garden set so we had to add a little dot in the centre of the flowers. Some were very clever and drew stamens in with the Smoky Slate marker.

I always forget to take a photo of the groups as it gets pretty busy. I snapped one just as we were finishing up at the Saturday session. Some people had already started to leave. (sorry!) 🙂 There was lots of creative mess happening.

You might have seen the card tin in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue? I have dressed this one up. Everyone who has a party in the next month or 2 with me goes in the draw to win one.

Maybe I could just give some extras away too. Mmm? If you want a party or your own private stamping event, let me know. I only have a few dates available so you better be quick.

There you have it. We had a product playground too for everyone to test out the pencils and a few other new products. That’s always good to test those things out.

Thanks for visiting me. Visit again soon,

TEAM CHRISTMAS PARTY!

December 16, 2016December 16, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday night was the last Team meeting of the year with a Christmas Party. This is the larger Inky Fingers Team I am in with Vanessa Webb. We are a funny bunch! 😉

Each month we get to share swaps although not everyone gets around to it. (I know I don’t!) I think being the last meeting and our Christmas party most people made a special effort.

These are the tags I made for a swap. I was pressed for time for anything too complicated. They are based on some tags I made recently and shared here. These use the ‘Holly Jolly Greetings’ set and some scraps of the Candy Cane Lane DSP. So quick to make. 🙂

These are most of the swaps I received in return.

What a fantastic selection of cards and little treat holders. (Oops! I forgot your gift bag Katie!). Look at that gorgeous Dragonfly card given to me by Vanessa. That’s a beautiful stamps and dies set coming out soon. 😉

Here are some of the crazy Inky Fingers Team. It is a very creative bunch of people.

I have to show you the little make and take we made. I have been wanting to make one of these for ages but haven’t had a chance to. Barbara surprised us all in getting us to make it. So cute! Just the size for a little Ferrero Chocolate or a Lindt ball. Something nice to add to a table setting or as a simple gift.

Thanks for visiting. How are your Christmas celebrations going? It has been a little crazy this end. I think we are now at the end of the end of year activities and presentations, classes have finished and cards have been sent out. Still to put up the tree and finish shopping. I feel it is never going to end! Never mind. We still have a week. 🙂

Have a wonderful day and stay sane,

BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE CLASSROOM!

December 3, 2016 Jenny Hayward

It was my last class for the year today. That is a bit sad but it gets to a crazy time of year with end of school activities and preparations for Christmas.

Before the class today I took a video of what is happening in my classroom and shared it on my Facebook Business page. I thought I would share it with you.

Thanks for joining this stamping journey with me and for your visits to my blog.

I am excited to continue to share stamping with you all in 2017.
