COLOURING SHEER PERFECTION VELLUM!

March 23, 2015 Jenny Hayward

You have probably seen one of the new release product choices for Sale-A-Bration – the Sheer Perfection Vellum. This is so gorgeous. I am going to focus a little on this product this week. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is.

It is 24 sheets of patterned vellum paper. You receive 2 of each design. There are 12 designs all up and the paper measures 15.2cm x 15.2cm (6″x6″) sheet. Have I said how gorgeous it is already??? It truly is.

You can leave this vellum as it is and layer it on your cards OR you can layer it over another colour cardstock for the colour to show through OR colour it with your Markers.

To show you how easy it is to colour this vellum, Stampin’ Up! have put together a very quick video of 2 cards that are a cinch!

Here is the video.

You can receive a pack of these papers as your Free Sale-A-Bration gift with your $90 order. Now there is only 1 WEEK LEFT OF SALE-A-BRATION so don’t delay. I will show you some more cards using this paper later in the week. Until then, I hope you find some creating time for yourself. 🙂

STAMPIN’ UP! UPDATES!!

March 19, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Sorry no creations today. There are lots of Stampin’ Up! news to share with you so bare with me for a few minutes to update you all.

BLENDABILITIES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED

Due to quality issues with the Blendabilities Stampin’ Up! have made the difficult decision to discontinue them. Problems were occurring in the manufacture process and they cannot be rectified to Stampin’ Up! quality standards.

Here are some Q&A from Stampin’ Up! that might help.

Q: What are the quality problems with this product?

A: When the tip is welded to the barrel, the welding process can leave microscopic (invisible) holes in the marker tip. This leads to accelerated evaporation of the alcohol in the ink.

Q: Are all Blendabilities markers defective?

A: No. Most Blendabilities markers work as intended. We ask that you use your best judgment to determine whether your product is in good condition or if you need a refund.

If your Blendabilities work well then continue to enjoy using them. If you are having any problems with them especially with ones you have bought during Sale-A-Bration then please contact me if you have obtained them from me or from your Demonstrator.

MDS TO BE DISCONTINUED

The ‘My Digital Studio’ program will be discontinued on May 31st. You can continue to purchase the program or any digital images until that time. Ensure that you have backed up your program externally.

MORE FOR SALE-A-BRATION

With the Blendabilities being deleted as a Sale-A-Bration choice Stampin’ Up! have introduced some Catalogue options for you to select as your Free choice with your $90 order.

There are some great choices.

CELEBRATE YOUR BIG DAY!

March 12, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I was playing around with some Sale-A-Bration products the other day. Here is one of the cards I made.

You could pick out a few Sale-A-Bration choices on this card – The ‘Best Year Ever DSP’, the ribbon from the ‘Best Year Ever Accessory Pack’ and the the stamp set ‘Big Day’. The “Big Day” image was stamped on some Whisper White card in Coastal Cabana and punched the top with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I punched the top of a piece of Coastal Cabana card too with the punch and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. I tied off some ribbon and Pom Pom trim and then layered it on a piece of the DSP which had been adhered to the Calypso Coral base card. To colour the words I stamped the “Big Day” image onto some Crushed Curry card and cut out just the banner to adhere over the top and then coloured the “CAKE” word with Blender Pens and inkpad. The cake image was simply stamped in black onto Crushed Curry card and punched with the 1 3/8″ circle punch I think it was.

I will show you a close-up. I added some Dazzling Diamonds to make it sparkle. 🙂

Sale-A-Bration is quickly flying by. Only a couple of weeks left. Have you picked up your free Sale-A-Bration product yet with your $90 order? If you haven’t, you better hurry. I don’t want you missing out on Freebies!! You can shop online (link is in the right hand column) OR drop me an email with your order. I am happy to send it anywhere in Australia.

Thanks for stopping by today. I always love you visiting. 🙂

IRRESISTIBLY YOURS BUTTERFLY!

January 22, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I have just discovered the ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. I had fun creating with it the other day. I found this card on Splitcoaststampers. I loved the bright colours and just had to copy it.

I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. To colour the paper I sponged the ink picking it up from the inkpad with the sponge. Rather than dabbing with the sponge though I rubbed in a circular motion. I think that gives a smoother coverage of ink rather than it looking blotchy. Once you ink it then rub over the paper with a tissue and it will wipe off the ink over the embossed areas and give it a shine. For this card the paper is teamed with the gorgeous butterfly die available now in the Occasions Catalogue and I backed this with some Whisper White card to make it stand out. The greeting is from the Buttefly Basics stamp set.

The ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP contains 12 sheets (2 each of 6 designs) that are single sided. They each have a glossy white pattern. You can apply ink to the paper by sponge, brayer or directly with the inkpad. You could colour with Blendabilities too if you like. The embossed like pattern resists the ink leaving a gorgeous pattern. If you haven’t seen it yet or really paid attention to it, check it out on page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. Here are the patterns you will find in the pack. It’s great to create some beautiful patterned paper to the colour you would like and to make it look embossed and you haven’t had to drag out the embossing powder and Heat Tool!

Thanks for visiting today,

SALE-A-BRATION ‘BIG DAY’!

January 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I showed you one of these cards in a recent post but I thought I would show you it again and show the other card I made at the same time using one of the Free Sale-A-Bration stamp set ‘Big Day’. There are so many fantastic Free choices this year for Sale-A-Bration it is hard to choose a favourite but I think this is a fun one. There are so many ways of using it.

The card on the left was one of the cards we made at my stamp Day on the weekend. That was a fun card to colour. The “Happy Birthday” and the “Celebrate” stamp were stamped together on Whisper White and then cut with the Banners Framelits. To colour it I just used the blender pens and picked up the colour from the ink pad and coloured the lower part of the words. The “celebrate” word was stamped again on Crushed Curry, cut out and adhered over the word. The DSP on this card was another free Sale-A-Bration set ‘Best Day Ever’. I love the colours in this DSP of Crisp Canteloupe, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry (which is not a colour I have used before!!). I finished it off with a Coastal Cabana bow (Yes a Free Sale-A-Bration choice!).

The card on the right was from a sketch on Freshly Made Sketches #283. I turned the sketch when I created the card. I was pleased how quick this card came together. I stamped the “celebrate” stamp and cut it with the Circles Framelits. This was coloured the same way as the above card and the “celebrate” stamped on Crushed Curry card and cut and adhered over. The “icecream” greeting was stamped on Sahara Sand scrap. I added a button (yet another free Sale-A-Bration choice). The Coastal Cabana piece was ran through the Big Shot with the Arrows Embossing Folder.

Two quick cards which came together with little drama. Which for me is a great thing. I think these were both made in under an hour. Gotta love that! I agonise over cards way too much.

Here is the ‘Big Day’ Stamp set if you haven’t noticed it before.

Have you checked out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue yet?? There is a link in the right hand column to view it online. Don’t forget, for every $90 of product order you can choose one of these items for Free!!!! Go and check it out. You can order directly online at my store too (the link is in the right hand column). I can ship anywhere in Australia. Of course, if you have a HUGE wish list, maybe you should think about joining Stampin’ Up! (discounts every time you order!!!). Ask me for more information if you would like to know more. You won’t regret it. You can check out all the Sale-A-Bration news HERE.
