This Friday at our Card Class we will be using some of the loved Sale-A-Bration items for one last time and make 3 Classy cards.

If you are local to Wollongong come along. Here are the details.

WHEN: Friday 24th March at 10am or 7pm.

Please RSVP by Thursday 23rd March. Book early to reserve your seat.

Here is just one of the cards we will be making. This is using the Sale-A-Bration set Delicate Details. It pairs so well with the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.

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,

DELICATE DETAILS AND A DRAGONFLY!

February 1, 2017February 1, 2017 Jenny Hayward

The last few days I have been busy getting ready for my Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Review this weekend. Lots of creating happening – even in the heat! I will get to share some of them shortly but I really wanted to share this one first. I was happy with the result.

I have used the Delicate Details stamp set. A free choice for Sale-A-Bration this year when you order over $90! This was my first pick for Sale-A-Bration but I have only just managed to ink it up.

I used one of the stamps to create a lacy effect by stamping in Memento ink onto Whisper White card. I lined each one up by eye. I have to say that was a little nerve racking! You could use a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (SAMJ) or similar tool. I always forget to pull my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig out. (or lazy!).

Once I stamped them – and breathed a sigh of relief – I then inked up the card. I haven’t got the sponge rollers yet so I used the brayer which is now retired. Funny that, my brayer is in the same box as my SAMJ. 🙂 I used Mint Macaron ink to add the colour gradually going from dark to light.

TO ASSEMBLE THE CARD:

A dragonfly was cut from the Copper Foil Sheet. It looks a bit more gold in the photo. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder on to a strip of Whisper White. I cut a banner end with scissors. It needed a little something underneath so I cut a thinner strip from the Copper Foil and cut the end of that too.

The inked piece was added to a Mint Macaron card base. Before I added the Dragonfly I twirled around some Copper Thread and added some Pearls to finish. The sentiment was raised up with Dimensionals.

You can check out the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle HERE at my store. It is $81.25 AUS. Maybe grab an inkpad or some cardstock to take you over $90 and you can grab the gorgeous Delicate Details set from Sale-A-Bration FREE (or grab one of the other great Free products). Check out the Sale-A-Bration catalogue by clicking on the link in the right hand side bar.

Have a lovely day/night. It is a little cooler here today and rainy which is nice so I am off to my stamp room again. 🙂

DAPPER AVANT GARDEN!

January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 Jenny Hayward

This card is one I created for a Private Card class last week using the Sale-A-Bration set Avant Garden. This card was adapted from a couple of cards I have seen around. You might have noticed a similar design on page 4 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue??

Colours used are Dapper Denim, Marina Mist and Mint Macaron. The Smoky Slate base is at a bit more of an angle than it appears in the photo. I added some Silver Ribbon to the card.

I have to tell you a funny story. When I went to the class I forgot to take the Marina Mist inkpad. Minor panic! Never mind I got them stamping off the Dapper Denim to create a lighter effect. It turned out OK. 🙂

The Avant Garden is such a versatile stamp set – and it is Free! Even better! With your $90 order you can choose this set or any of the other choices for Sale-A-Bration.

You can head to my store HERE to order. Please use the Host Code for this week. SS7JW4QQ You can then pick up your Free set of Avant Garden or choose one of the other great choices. Check the items in store under Sale-A-Bration or look at the catalogue in the right side bar here.

If you would like to book your own Private Card Class with me to make beautiful cards like this and you are a Wollongong local then drop me a message and we can work out a date.

CARD IN A BOX FOR A 2 YEAR OLD!

April 3, 2016April 3, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I can finally share this card with you. I was so excited to finish this card but it had to wait. It’s kinda cute. 🙂

I was asked by a friend to make a special card for her 2 year old. Things she liked was pink, purple and orange – and fish! How to incorporate all that?? I decided to go with the ‘Balloon Builders’ stamp set.

So, here it is for you. I have a few different angles for you.

The “Hugs and Kisses” sentiment is from the ‘Party Pants’ Sale-A-Bration set. The ideas for the different balloon animals were from Pinterest. I had to incorporate a couple of fish in there somewhere. 😉 The Designer Series Paper is from ‘It’s My Party’ paper stack.

And the back gives a place to write on.

What do you think? This was a labour of love and I had so much fun creating and it was very well received.

Thanks for visiting me.

SPARKLY BOTANICALS FOR YOU!

March 31, 2016March 31, 2016 Jenny Hayward

LAST DAY OF SALE-A-BRATION FOR 2016! Are you sad? I can’t believe it. Today I have my last card to share with you for Sale-A-Bration using the ‘Botanicals For You’ set. This one I made a few weeks ago at a stamping day at my friend Leonie’s. She CASED it from Pinterest and I CASED it from her. That’s what friends are for right. 🙂

To get the 3 colours on the image I inked up the top 1/3 in Smoky Slate, then inked the bottom 1/3 in Black. Then with the Basic Gray marker I coloured in the centre. The stems are stamped in Smoky Slate. Then I added some little red flowers for some ‘POP’ of colour. These flowers are punched from a retired punch. I can’t remember what that is. It is all layered on some Neutrals Colour Collections Stack with black mats and the base is the Thick Whisper White. The card is cut lengthways on the card sheet and scored half way so the opening is at the top.

You might not see too well but I stella-d the words. (Yes, that is a new stamping term didn’t you know!).

I went over the words with the Clear Wink of Stella Brush for some sparkle.

I did decorate the inside but forgot a photo. I just added a strip of the DSP and then added another red punched flower.

OK, so I hope you have all your Sale-A-Bration orders in? Tomorrow is too late.

Thanks for visiting me today. I will see you again,

Jenny 🙂

HONEYCOMB HAPPINESS CHICK!

March 30, 2016March 30, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Tomorrow is the last day of Sale-A-Bration for the year! Do you think this time has flown by too? Crazy! I am squeezing in a couple of last minute Sale-A-Bration cards with you.

I have loved colouring this little chick from ‘Honeycomb Happiness’. Isn’t his (or her) face sweet? This card I made a few weeks ago to send out to a few customers I haven’t heard from in a while. The idea came from Pinterest. I changed the size to make it a standard size card.

I have coloured the chick with the Hello Honey inkpad and aquapainter. I love how he is peeking out from the circle. I cut 2 circles in Calypso Coral card and created a window frame for him. I have layered it on the Sale-A-Bration paper ‘Wildfower Fields’ and layered this to a Calypso Coral card mat and then a Thick Whisper White cared base. The card was finished off with some punched flowers using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and some Rhinestone bling.

This next card was made for a friend’s daughter who is not well. I just thought I would cheer her up. This card was also cased from Pinterest.

The chick is once again painted with the Inkpad (Daffodil Delight) and aquapainter. I cut it out and raised it up off the card with dimensionals. I stamped the balloon on the card and then stamped it again separately and raised it up. The Designer Series Paper is from the ‘It’s My Party’ paper stack and matted on Black and then on the card base of Calypso Coral. You can’t see it but I did add some Wink of Stella sparkle on the balloon.

Don’t forget to get your last minute Sale-A-Bration orders in. I am taking orders until 8pm tomorrow night or you can order online at my store HERE.

Thanks for visiting,

PARTY PANTS 21ST!

March 16, 2016March 16, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I needed to make a 21st card for Josh to give to a friend. It needed to be quick. I didn’t have a lot of time. I had just received the Large Numbers Framelits so I thought this might be just the thing. Plus I received the Sale-A-Bration ‘Party Pants’ set. I love these little sentiments in this set.

Here is the card for you.

I have used some of ‘It’s My Party’ Paper Stack. I have used so much of these papers. There is 48 12″x12″ sheets in the pack. Not just some bright party type papers but some neutral Sahara Sand and black and white sheets. Very versatile I think. 🙂

I cut the 21 from the black DSP piece and then added a piece of Real Red card behind it. I matted it all on some Whisper White and then a Black card base. The sentiment from ‘Party Pants’ is cut from the ‘Tags and Labels’ Framelits and matted on Real Red card frame. I looped up some Silver Cord to add behind the sentiment. Josh thought it was cool as it looked like barbed wire!!! 🙂

So a quick masculine 21st card was made in record time!

Thanks for visiting today.
