KNOW WHAT I LOVE??

February 18, 2016February 18, 2016 Jenny Hayward

This was another of the cards I made a couple of weeks ago when I was playing with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits. I had cut the heart from the Sale-A-Bration paper ‘Wildflower Fields’ DSP. This was one of the activities everyone got to do at my Launch at the Product Playground but I hadn’t got around to actually making a card from it at that time.

I wasn’t sure how to put it together but I teamed it with a few of my new Favourites the ‘Timeless Textures’ stamp set which I stamped in Sahara Sand and the greeting from one of the Sale-A-Bration sets ‘What I Love’.

The card base is Blackberry Bliss to match the DSP and the flowers were cut from Lost Lagoon. Simple but hey that’s me!! 🙂

Hope you like it.

See you soon,

Jenny

LAST DAYS FOR SOME SALE-A-BRATION ITEMS!

February 15, 2016February 15, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Today is the day we say Good-Bye to some Sale-A-Bration items and I will say it is a bit sad. I have loved these products. If you want to grab any of these items TODAY then let me know and remember they are FREE!!!!!

Here are some cards I have made recently using ‘Sky is the Limit’. I have CASED these cards. The one on the left we made at my class on Saturday. The one on the right I changed a little and added a few twirls of the Burlap Ribbon. I used the ‘World Traveler’ Embossing Folder. Some people brayer or ink over the embossing folder before they emboss to get the effect. I tried it a few times. In the end, I embossed Very Vanilla card with the Embossing Folder and sponged over the raised parts with Crumb Cake ink. I found that more effective.

This ‘Sky is the Limit’ set is great for your Masculine cards. I think you need this set. 🙂

I had a quick play with the ‘Perfectly Artistic DSP’ yesterday. I wanted to keep the card simple to show off the paper. It was harder than I thought to be honest. 🙂 I used the ‘Amazing Birthday’ set with this. I cut the greeting with the ‘Tags and Labels’ Framelits. The black piece I embossed with the ‘Softly Falling’ Embossing Folder. I finished the card off with the Black Satin Stitched Ribbon and some Silver Thread.

Now for the details. How do you get these items for Free??

Choose one of these items (or one of the other items in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue for Free when you place an order of $90. So easy! I am sure you have more than $90 on your wish list don’t you??

To order: Order directly by contacting me TODAY.

Order Online HERE. Please use the Host Code: 6ZRUDB6Z

I will be back tomorrow to show you the new Sale-A-Bration items that will replace these.

Have a great day,

Jenny

PERFECTLY ARTISTIC BAGS!

February 12, 2016February 12, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I know I told you I was going to share some more Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits cards and I will, but I HAVE to show you these bags. I realised the other day that there was less than a week left of some fantastic Sale-A-Bration products. I still had so much of the lovely ‘Perfectly Artistic’ DSP that I just HAD to use. What better way but to use it but to make some bags.

Here they are for you. I thought I would make 3 different ones. I will show you how to make them too.

BLUSHING BRIDE MINI BAG

This cute little pink one is very simple to make. I found the idea on the internet somewhere quite some time ago but I am not sure where now – sorry 🙂

Cut your paper to 15cm x 30cm. (6″ x 12″)

On the 15cm (6″) side, score at 4cm. (1 1/2″)

On the 30cm (12″) side score at 10cm, 14cm, 24cm and 28cm. (4″, 5 1/2″, 9 1/2″ and 11″)

Cut up on the score lines on the 30cm (12″) side up until it meets the other score line. Cut off the small tab at the end. Add adhesive on the small tab at the side and assemble. Add adhesive to the bottom tabs and fold up and adhere.

Decorate as you like. I have used the greeting from a Sale-A-Bration set ‘Botanicals For You’. I added a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper too for the dazzle factor. To close the bag I simply used a Wooden Clothespin over a folded Paper Doily.

MINT MACARON BAG

Here is a side view.

The Mint Macaron is another quick bag. You can find the tutorial to make this bag at ChicNScratch HERE.

LARGE BASIC GRAY BAG

This large bag is so easy to make. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to make one of these. You can find the instructions on a number of blogs.

For mine, I took 2 sheets of the Basic Gray pattern from the pack. On 3 sides, score at 5cm (2″). Cut up on the tabs at the bottom. Place adhesive along the bottom of one sheet and join the 2 sheets together. Place adhesive to the side tabs on one sheet and assemble together.

TIP #1 you could if you like score on the top edge as well when you are scoring and then fold that score line forward to show the inside colour on the outside, if that makes sense? I had decided that I wanted a black edge. I cut strips from black card stock approximately 5cm (2″) wide and adhered that along the top edge. I think it makes a striking contrast.

TIP #2 for your ribbon handles. I didn’t punch holes in my bags to add the ribbon. I added the strong Tear Tape to each end of the ribbon and adhered them to inside of the bag. To cover the ends I punched out an oval in card and adhered this over the ends. It gives a neater finish I think.

I hope you like these bags. They were fun and I was surprised how easy they were to make. Go and make some yourself. 🙂

Until next time,

Jenny

FLOWERING FIELDS FLAP FOLD!

February 4, 2016February 4, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Say that 10 times quickly! Seriously, sometimes it is hard to come up with names for blog posts!

Anyway, you want to see a card not my posting dilemmas. Today I have a sweet card for you using the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Flowering Fields’. I stamped and coloured this a few weeks ago at a team stamping day. I wasn’t sure how to put it together then so put it aside until later. Well later was a week or two later!

I decided to go for a slightly different style card. The flowers are so pretty so I wanted to show them off a little. We were told at Onstage last year when they showed this set that the flowers are based on Australian natives. I really struggle with colouring these different colours to what they are meant to be especially the Waratah. I think I used the aquapainter and inkpads to colour them – or was it the blender pen?? It was so long ago I can’t remember.

It is a standard size card but I cut off about 5cm (2″) from the bottom on the front of the card. I adhered some of the Sale-A-Bration paper ‘Wildflower Fields’. Isn’t it pretty?? I wrapped around some Calypso Coral Seam Binding Ribbon to the front. The finished stamped piece was adhered to a black mat and then adhered to the front with Dimensionals. Just add your dimensionals to the top sections of the panel.

Then it came to the greeting. Do you struggle with where to put your greeting on your cards? You don’t want to overshadow the main image but you don’t want it disappearing in the mix. The greeting I used is from another Sale-A-Bration set ‘Botanicals For You’. I love the greetings in this set. Did you have a close look at the greeting on this card? The smaller framelits or punches weren’t going to work and then the next sizes were too big. What to do? I have used the “ledge shape” die in the ‘Heart and Home’ Thinlets Dies. I was really happy how that turned out. I will have to keep that in mind to use again.

Here is a photo of the inside of the card. I stamped one of the flowers on the inside in Calypso Coral and under the paper strip I adhered a strip of black card to give it a lift.

Phew! Thanks for sticking with me with all my dilemmas for today’s post. 🙂

I hope you have a happy day wherever you are in the world. Thanks for visiting me today.

HELLO HONEY FOR BOTANICALS FOR YOU!

January 20, 2016January 20, 2016 Jenny Hayward

We had a HOT day today. Phew! I felt I was melting. A change in the weather has come through now which has lowered the temps a bit. I still managed to get a little stamping in. The fan was roaring but I was in a creative mood. I did have to stop though in the end after 3 cards because it just got a little too much.

I will share all the cards over time but I thought I would show you the last card I made today. Maybe it was my favourite from the day, then again I don’t know. 🙂

As I was melting the brain got a little foggy so I CASED this card. This is a sample of the card on page 5 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue using ‘Botanicals For You’.

It is a cute little 10cm x 10cm (4″ x 4″) card.

I wasn’t sure what colour it was in the catalogue. We have so many yellows to choose from. I have made mine in Hello Honey. The colours for the images are Hello Honey, Soft Sky, Mossy Meadow and Blushing Bride. A little sparkle with Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver Doily. I realise just now that I forgot to add the Pearls to the centre of the flowers. I will go back and do that now but just imagine they are there. 😉

This cute set is one of the free choices you can get with your $90 order during Sale-A-Bration. I hope you have had a chance to check out the catalogues now. (The links are in the side column).

Thanks for visiting me today. I hope the weather is kind to you wherever you are. It will be another hot one here tomorrow but then I guess it is Summer and it has been slow coming this season.

SOME THANK YOU GIFTS AND QUICK UPDATES!!

April 8, 2015 Jenny Hayward

The weather has been a little ordinary the last few days BUT that means it is inside days AND that means some creating time!!!! Today I have been busy creating some Thank You gifts for some lovely people who ordered during my recent ‘Celebrate Sale-A-Bration’ event that I ran for my newsletter subscribers. These were fun to put together.

I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets dies to embellish the cello gift bags. They were filled with some of the Irresistibly Yours DSP and Sheer Perfection Vellum Sheets. I think they might like these as both of these items were sold out at the end of Sale-A-Bration so at least now they get a little sampler. 🙂

NOW I have some quick Stampin’ Up! Updates for you.

1) Don’t forget this week’s Weekly Deals. If you love your Big Shot then you will love these great discounts this week.

2) The Retirement List will be released on April 21st. That is not long AT ALL. I will add the link here on that date for you to find out what will be leaving us. It’s always sad to say farewell to our favourites but that means that it makes room for some new exciting products!!

3) With the Retirement List out we will say Farewell to the 2013-2015 Incolors. These are the colours that will be leaving us. I am a bit sad about these colours leaving. I have loved every one of them. NOW is the time to stock up on cardstock, ink refills, inkpads etc. Please don’t wait until the retirement list is out as these items are the first to sell out within the first day or 2. Grab them now! Seriously, you don’t want to be disappointed and miss out on your supplies of these colours.

4) I am selling off my Retired stamps and Big Shot Embossing Folders and Dies. Have you checked them out yet?? Check out the page HERE. (Australian Residents Only).

THE END OF SALE-A-BRATION 2015!

March 31, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I can’t believe how quickly the past few months have gone with Sale-A-Bration. There has been so many great products that are going to be sadly missed. What has been your favourite??? I have already mentioned a few of my favourites with ‘Lotus Blossom’ and ‘Big Day’. Then we had some fantastic new additions. Sadly not much time to play with them but the papers were gorgeous.

Here are some projects to share with you courtesy of Stampin’ Up! I don’t know who the original creators are so I do apologise but these showcase some of the gorgeous products we have enjoyed during Sale-A-Bration.

‘You Brighten My Day’ stamp. We do always have something to be thankful for and today I am thankful for my wonderful customers and my team for a great Sale-A-Bration.

Great gift bag with ‘Big Day’.

The lovely ‘Lotus Blossom’.

The fantastic ‘Irresistibly Yours’ Designer Series Paper. This looks stunning in gold!

So have you got your free Sale-A-Bration products yet?? You only have hours to go, so make sure you get them in to your Demonstrator. I will be adding my last orders in a few hours time so be quick!! I can ship anywhere in Australia.

Tomorrow is another day with a great new special and we can look at the Occasions Catalogue which has been a little neglected lately.

SHEER PERFECTION VELLUM!

March 26, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last post I shared a video from Stampin’ Up! colouring the new ‘Sheer Perfection’ Vellum sheets. Have you checked that video out yet??? I have been playing some more with these sheets. I love the patterns on them.

For this first card I have layered 2 of the sheets together. Underneath is the small dotty sheet with the flower sheet over the top. I layered this on Smoky Slate and the base card is Calypso Coral. The flower is from the set ‘Crazy About You’. I stamped it twice in Calypso Coral and then cut around one of the smaller flowers to layer on top. The greeting is from ‘Teeny Tiny Sentiments’. Honest opinions please – I am really not sure about this card but I thought I would show you anyway. What do you think???

I don’t often use Pear Pizzazz as a colour but I have taken to it recently. For this second card I cut out the centre from a piece creating a window using the Deco Labels Framelits then I adhered a piece of the leaf patterned vellum that that had been coloured with the Pear Pizzazz Marker. This is very easy to do but just be sure to colour ON THE BACK OF THE VELLUM. 😉 The whole piece was then adhered to a Pear Pizzazz card base. I added a few little butterflies “fluttering by” stamped from ‘Papillion Potpourri’. To colour them I picked up some ink from the inkpads with my Aquapainter. Then I wrapped around some of the Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine underneath the greeting from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’. I was much happier the way THIS one turned out.

Less that one week to go to get your Free Sale-A-Bration Free choices. Just $90 order and you can pick any of the Sale-A-Bration items – and don’t forget the new recent additions to the Sale-A-Bration pickings. So many choices! But please don’t delay because come next Wednesday it is TOO LATE 🙂 HERE is the link to the Catalogues and flyers for you to check out if you need them.
