SOME MORE SWIRLY BIRDS!!

June 27, 2016June 27, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I have some more Swirly Bird cards to show you today. This is such a fun set. Have I told you that before 😉

Here they are. These first 2 cards we made at our Swirly Bird class along with others I had already shared. These cards were inspired by ones I had seen on my internet travels.

On this first one, the sentiment is from ‘Butterfly Basics’ and the clouds are from ‘Sprinkles of Life’. The base card is Dapper Denim with the kite stamped in Dapper Denim and Real Red.

This next one, the card base is Chocolate Chip. This is a colour I haven’t used in AGES!!! I even dragged out the inkpad! This made a cute image of mummy bird and her eggs. The sentiment is from ‘Thoughtful Banners’. The background spots are stamped in Soft Sky. This card is fairly simple looking but it did take some time to cut and to put together.

What about a Christmas Swirly card? Yes I made a Christmas card! I couldn’t help it. I wanted to show the versatility of this set at my class. This card was CASED from Beth on a Facebook group I am on. I just made it into traditional Christmas colours. I added some dazzle with the Dazzling Diamonds in the centres of each bauble too. The sentiment for this is from ‘Wondrous Wreath’.

So many ideas for this set. What have you come up with?? I would love to see them. Send me a photo and I will share them here on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by. Today it is FREEZING!!! Is it Summer soon???

Have a great day wherever you are,

STAMPIN’ UP! CATALOGUE LAUNCH!! PART 1.

June 20, 2016June 20, 2016 Jenny Hayward

This week I had my Catalogue Launch for this fantastic new catalogue. I had 2 sessions. One Friday night and one on Saturday. Both of them were lots of fun and laughs and of course creating. I thought I would share some of the fun with you.

Firstly, I had a Product Playground area with lots of new products that everyone could have a play with. This was very popular.

Here we had an Incolor bookmark they could make. A great way to have a sample of the new Incolors for their catalogue. Then they could use the Ombre Ink pads. This one is the Bermuda Bay. I will tell you about the Ombre Inkpads in another post. They could stamp the flower and add it to a card when they get home.

Of course we had to play with Baby Bear. I had done a few different colour combinations to show and they could stamp their own Baby Bear. He (or she) was very popular! I will tell you about Baby Bear in another post too.:) I also had the new embossing folder ‘Floral Affection’ which is really lovely too. So many nice new products.

Now I like to spoil my lovely ones who come. There was some fun gifts and some very useful product gifts.

I made up some Catalogue Survival Kits. To help everyone through their catalogue.

I found these fun Post-It notes and made up these cards for everyone so they can add them to their catalogue. For the header on these Post-It note cards I created the heading on the computer and then stamped around it with the ‘Swirly Bird’ stamp set.

I have so much Designer Series Paper and ribbon and bits from past years so I bagged up a lot to give a special grab bag to everyone. I think everyone thought it was Christmas. 🙂 It was a lovely way to say Thanks to them not just for coming to my launch but for their loyal support many for some years. It was so lovely to see the joy in their faces. That made the day all worthwhile.

It wasn’t a fancy bag but these Stampin’ Up! Bags are a good size for the Designer Series paper – and I have so many of them! I made a quick tag using the ‘Thoughtful Banners’.

I have some more photos to share with you but that will be next post so do come and visit.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Jenny

WATER SPRITZING TUTORIAL!

May 8, 2016May 8, 2016 Jenny Hayward

A few weeks ago for Onstage I didn’t have an opportunity to make swaps to share with other demonstrators. Life has been a little busy. 🙂 I did make a card for the Display boards though where you can add your swap cards or samples. They are always so inspiring and is a big part of why I love to go. It’s like a live Pinterest board!!!! 😉

I thought it was time to show you the card. This is a technique I have been playing around with recentlly. I don’t really know what the name of the technique is but I call it the Water Spritzed technique. I will show you how to do this below so read on.

This is my card I made for the board.

You can see the little “splodges” in the ink where the colour has lifted. It creates a cool motley effect. Here is how it is done.

WATER SPRITZED TECHNIQUE

1. Using Thick Whisper White or Shimmery white cardstock, heat emboss your images. On these I embossed the coral and the fish with white Embossing powder. I stamped the seahorse with Black Stazon. It is important to emboss or to use the Stazon so the ink on the images don’t run when you spritz.

2. Use your first colour and sponge in patches over the card. I have used Bermuda Bay here.

Then add your 2nd colour. I have used Daffodil Delight.

3. Fill in with your 3rd colour. I have used Marina Mist I think. It’s good to have 3 co-ordinating colours. Once you have sponged the colours on, use a tissue to wipe off the ink where the images are embossed. This makes the embossing shine.

4. With a spritzer with water or I use an old Stampin’ mist bottle, hold the bottle a little away and lightly spray the card. You don’t want to soak the card just lightly mist. You will see some of the colour start to lift. Mist until you are happy with the coverage. Keep the card level or you will start to have runs from the water running down. Leave the card aside on the table for a few minutes. The longer you leave the card, the more effect you will get. Finish off drying your card with the Heat Tool lightly. You don’t want to melt your embossed images any more.

You can now finish your card as you like.

Here is the first card I made using this effect. I have used Rose Wonder set. Thank you to my friend Leonie for showing me this technique. We made this card at my last technique class too. I have heat embossed the images in white, The inks I have used are Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise and Bermuda Bay.

I made another card that day but I didn’t leave the water sitting on the card for long so it doesn’t have as much mottling. I was a little disappointed with the colour combination. I used Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron I think and Lavender Lace. I thought I would show you the card anyway. This is using Birthday Blossoms.

So how about you have a try at this technique. Each time you do one it will turn out different. It’s fun.

Thanks for visiting me today. Have a wonderful day/night.
