TIME FOR A CHANGE!

under maintenance

They say a change is as good as a holiday, right?? I thought it was time to freshen up my blog and update it. I spent a few hours last night and today changing the look and updating all the information.  It is still a work in progress but it is a good feeling.  Maybe this is following my decluttering of the house. 🙂

If you receive my blog posts as an email or in your reader you wouldn’t notice any changes. Maybe stop by occasionally.  It is always surprising when I visit blogs that I get through email.

You will now find the Page Tabs at the top.  I have a page there for my tutorial posts which is updated often.  There is also pages there on Stampin’ Up! specials and Joining and Party information Plus my Class Schedule.  So stop a while and visit. I always like a comment now and then too.  So don’t forget to say ‘HI’ once in a while. It’s nice to know I am not talking to myself. I do that enough 😉

I am going to be reorganising my Pinterest boards next and update my newsletters. So watch out!!! Have you subscribed to my newsletter? There is a link in the right hand side bar to do just that.

Thanks for stopping by.  Grab a cuppa and have a look around.  I will be back soon with some more inspiration.

FAVOURITE 5 FOR 2015!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!

I hope 2016 is a wonderful year for you full of great health, happiness – and I hope lots of opportunities to create. 🙂

I am looking forward to another year of stamping. It always excites me at the start of the year when I think of the new discoveries in stamping and being able to share them with my lovely customers and  you my lovely readers. 🙂  I am also excited when I think of the new people I will meet to share all this creativity with.

Before I look too far forward though I thought I would look back at this past year at some of my favourite projects from the year.  I hope you will indulge me a little and enjoy recapping these – or seeing them for the first time.

I will add the link below each project to the original post so you can read about them.

SKY IS THE LIMIT 3D CARD!

I shared the Fold Flat (3D) cards the other day.  I have made one of these cards using some great Sale-A-Bration products. (Only 5 sleeps to go until Sale-A-Bration begins!).  You will love this year’s offerings for Sale-A-Bration.  There are so many fantastic products.  It will be hard to choose believe me. 🙂

Here is the card but you can see how to make them in the earlier post HERE.

Don’t you love that swirly paper?? It makes the plane look like it is flying over the ocean!  This paper is the ‘Perfectly Artistic’ Designer Series paper and comes in 12 sheets of 12″x12″ and available in so many gorgeous colours in the pack.  This one is Tempting Turquoise.  The stamp set is ‘Sky is the Limit’  A great one for those male cards!

On the front panel I stamped the clouds on the white card and stamped the plane in Basic Gray.  I stamped the plane again on scrap white and cut it out and raised it up with Dimensionals.  The greetings which come in the set are stamped in Basic Gray on Crushed Curry card and cut with the ‘Lots of Labels’ Framelits.  They were raised up with Dimensionals too.  The little loops are from the Burlap Ribbon.  I cut off the edge of the Burlap and then pulled off a couple of threads and looped them around.  I adhered them onto the back of the label with glue dots.  These give a little wavy look rather than than using the Linen Thread this time.  I added a Turquoise Candy Dot to finish but I am still not convinced of that but it is there now. 🙂

There you have it.  Now I know you are going to want to grab this set.  This set and the paper are only available until February 15 and then some new products will be offered so be quick.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

Book your Sale-A-Bration party or Private Class now.  Times are limited but contact me to book your spot.  I would love to share more creations with you and your friends!

Christmas, Classes

LOTS OF JOY FOR CHRISTMAS!

I made this card a few months ago before the Holiday Catalogue came out and I was starting to plan for Christmas.  It is probably about time I showed you.  This is using one of the stamp sets in the Annual Catalogue – ‘Lots of Joy’ and using one of my “go-to” colour combinations of Island Indigo and Pool Party.

P1170120

I first stamped the angled lines in Pool Party and then stamped the baubles firstly in Smoky Slate on a piece of Whisper White and then again on scrap card in Island Indigo and Pool Party. I punched these out with the 1 1/2″ (3.8cm) Circle Punch. They were raised up off the card and I added some Adhesive Rhinestones for the bling factor.  The white card piece was matted on to some Silver Foil sheet BUT I want to show you a little trick to save your precious Silver Foil.

I cut the Silver Foil to size and then cut a rectangle in the centre.  This can then be used for a later project.  Check out the photo below.

Thanks for visiting me today.  Have a great day 🙂

CRAFT FAIR MAKE AND TAKE!

Now that I have shared a lot of the projects that I have made for the markets and Fairs I thought I would show you the Make and Take I had at the last Craft Fair event.  It had to be quick and I hope impressive??  I made a quick tag. Of course with the very beautiful set ‘Wonderland’.

P1170790

This tag was inspired by one from my friend Vanessa.  Simply stamp the trees in Garden Green on a piece of White cardstock and stamp again to stamp a fainter impression.  Tear a piece of the Winter Wonderland Vellum Stack to adhere at the bottom.  Punch out a small star with the Gold Foil and add a Rhinestone.  At the top punch with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and tie off some Garden Green Striped ribbon.

It was a simple one for even those who had never stamped before and they loved it. I don’t think you can make a bad project with this set really. Can you??

Did you realise that this set will not be available after January 4th?? You better grab it now. Don’t regret it.  Now how many times have you debated about a stamp set and then after it is gone you realised you REALLY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT!!!! Don’t regret this one.

Order it at my Online Store NOW!  Head HERE.  Please use the Host Code: DRVPX7DB

Now before I leave you I thought I would show you my display at the last Fair.  We were all squashed in but that was OK right??  This set up was similar to most of the events I have done recently.
