FOXY CATS!

November 11, 2016November 11, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Since I have got back from Stampin’ Up! Onstage last week I have been running. I think in circles more so but anyway… I haven’t had a lot of time to go through my photos to share with you as yet but I hope to very soon. In the meantime I still have cards to share.

Today is a card with cats!!

These cats are made with the Fox Builder Punch. I am not a fan of foxes so I haven’t got this punch but I used this punch on our stamping weekend. I found this idea on Pinterest so thought I would make a card with this. I thought it was a cute idea.

The cats are stamped in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso using the ‘Foxy Friends’ set. The sentiment is from the set ‘Better Together’. The leaf and the curvy spray of leaves is from the ‘Foxy Friends’ set too. A good thing with the stamps being photopolymer I could curve the spray before I inked it to match the White oval piece that I had already cut with the Oval Layering Framelits.

The base is Sweet Sugarplum and the paper is from the Playful Palette Paper stack. Before I adhered the cute cats and the Oval sentiment piece I swirled around some Silver Thread and tied around some Sweet Sugarplum Ruched ribbon.

These cats look pretty happy don’t you think. 🙂

Have an awesome day wherever you may be.

PEEKABOO PEACH FAIRY!

October 23, 2016October 23, 2016 Jenny Hayward

This is another project I made on our stamping weekend. Originally I stamped and coloured this Fairy from Fairy Celebration for the Panel card I showed a few posts back but I thought it was a little detailed to go on the card. So I created another card to put this on.

The fairy is stamped on to Watercolor card and coloured with the Aquapainter. (Don’t look too closely at the colouring. I have a bit to work on with that). I did finish it with the Clear Wink of Stella Brush but you can’t quite see the sparkle unfortunately. The sentiment is stamped on a strip of the Watercolor card.

I wanted the rest of the card to be kept simple so I adhered a piece of the Playful Palette DSP on to the Peekaboo Peach base card and then could assemble the coloured piece and the sentiment. It was finished off with a White Baker’s Twine bow and some Rhinestones. I thought the sentiment was a bit bare so I cut a small flower from Blushing Bride from the little flower in the Flourish Thinlits.

I hope you like this one. It was the first time I have played with this set.

Thanks for visiting

CRAFT ALIVE REVIEW!

October 20, 2016October 20, 2016 Jenny Hayward

All of a sudden it is Thursday! Where has this week gone to? I have had every intention of getting back here to share our exciting weekend at the Craft Alive Fair but there has been so much happening. So here we are today.

Craft Alive is a big Fair of papercraft and needlework exhibitors held in various large centres on the East Coast of Australia. I am so excited it has now come to Wollongong AND we got to have a stand there this year. I thought you might like to see our little display. It was such fun to share in this with my stamping sisters Leonie and Vanessa.

This was set up day. It took 5 hours to put together. Such a huge day but we were so pleased with the final display.

We had so many positive comments about our stand which was nice. We added stars on the space near the tree which I think just finished it off.

We had 6 Lucky Draw prizes over the weekend which some lucky visitors received a stamp set and some lovely embellishments. Of course you have to have them under the tree.

This photo was courtesy of the Craft Alive Facebook page. We were kept busy having a card for the visitors to make.

The Make and Take card was very popular so I thought I would show you. Everyone loved the Cookie Cutter set. This card was Cased from Jillstamps.

Thanks for sharing in this with me. I still have more cards from our stamping weekend. I might have to hit you hard with them all next week to catch up so stay tuned.

I am so grateful that I get a discount whenever I order anything. (Even a few freebies doesn’t hurt either!). 🙂

So what would it mean for YOU to get a discount on what you order?

Perhaps it will enable you to buy a few extra craft things you couldn’t get, or use that savings on your grocery bill? Why do we have to eat right, or clean the house for that matter!

You love stamping. You love the Stampin’ Up! products – and you want it all!

Have you considered Joining Stampin’ Up! to get your own Discount?

You don’t have to do Classes or Parties. It is entirely up to you. You can sit at your table and craft away – but save money in the process.

HOME SWEET HOME EXTENSION!

September 30, 2016September 30, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I showed you the little beach house yesterday. I have to show you this house though. When I started making these houses I thought they were cute but it would be good to be a little bigger. So the house underwent an extension.

Here is my extended version. I will explain the “how-to” below.

On this house I cut the house in Thick Whisper White and stamped the Hardwood Background stamp in Smoky Slate. The roof is Mint Macaron and the windows and door frames are in Basic Gray.

I did cut the door out but I think next time I won’t worry about this. It tends not to stay shut but then you could sneak one of those Hershey Kisses out! This size actually fits 24 Kisses in.

Side View

Back View.

HOW TO EXTEND YOUR HOME SWEET HOME HOUSE:

1. Cut 2 house pieces from the Home Sweet Home Thinlits. To save card you will only need to cut the front/back of the house section so the one with the peak leaving a small tab around each side. With the same colour card you will need 2 pieces cut at 10cm x 6cm (4″x 2 3/8″). Score at 1cm and 7cm (Score at 3/8″ and 2 3/4″)

2. Stamp or decorate your pieces as you like before assembling. Also, cut your door and windows. TIP: Before cutting your windows, mark a line in pencil across the card piece then line up the bottom edge of your window Framelit on the pencil line to be sure that the pieces are level.

3. Fold on all the score lines and assemble together. Consider where you want to be able to open your house to get the treats. On mine although I had the door cut I had the bottom open. I just used Glue dots to stick it together temporarily.

To assemble add your adhesive on the side tabs of the front and back of the house. I used Fast Fuse but you can use Tear and Tape or other adhesive. Adhere one side wall piece to the tab on the front of the house piece and one side wall to the other tab on the front of the house. Do this by lining up the top score line of the side of the house to the top of the tab piece if that makes sense. The bottom score line should line up with the bottom of the front tab.

Adhere the back of the house to the other wall piece. If you wish to have the back opening then just add adhesive to only one tab.

4. For the roof: Cut your card to 7 cm x 9cm. Score 4.5cm. (2 3/4″x 3 1/2″ Score at 1 3/4″)

Emboss your piece with the Brick Embossing Folder checking that the “bricks” line up the right way on your card. That is that they run across. Line up the score line of the card with an edge of the brick wall.

Place adhesive to the top tabs of the front/back house piece and also on the top tab on the side walls. Line up the “roof” piece with the top of the house and adhere together.

5. Now decorate to your little hearts content. 🙂 The options are endless really. With this size you can fit so many treats. As I had mentioned I was able to fit 24 Hershey Kisses. Unfortunately I didn’t have any Ferrero Rochers on hand. That would be interesting to see how many can fit. That’s for another day. 🙂

Have you been making Tiny Houses? I would love to see them. Why not drop me a comment with a link for us all to check out.

Thanks for visiting.

Have a great weekend. It’s a long weekend here so I am not sure what is in store.

WEEKEND STAMPING HAUL!

September 27, 2016September 27, 2016 Jenny Hayward

This past week I had a fun weekend with some of my stamping buddies. These are great times just to sit and stamp and not be interrupted … and have a few laughs and eat too much!!!

I want to show you all my creative efforts for the weekend. It still amazes me what you can put together with some ink and bits of card. I plan to share details on the projects individually over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned for that.

It was a mix of Christmas cards and general cards. I think the project I loved most was the Beach House and the card. It took some time put I was pleased with the end result. It has shown to be popular on my Facebook page and other group pages I am on too. I will tell you about that one soon.

The great thing when you get together with others too is sharing stamp sets that you don’t have yourself. It’s great to make cards using those sets.

Now what will I share with you first????

See you again soon.

Jenny
