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.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have an inky day.

ADVENTURE BOUND + HELLO YOU. GREAT FOR THE MALE CARDS!!

January 9, 2015January 9, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I just have to share these cards I made yesterday. I am not great at making male cards. Aren’t they hard to make??? The new Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stacks in the Occasions Catalogue makes creating them so much easier. Actually there are a lot of great “male” sets in this catalogue.

The prints in the stack are beautiful. You really don’t need too much more with them on your cards. I have used the new ‘Hello You’ Thinlets and the ‘Crazy About You’ stamp set with them and kept the embellishments very simple. I was thinking of putting Candy Dots on them but didn’t get around to it. I don’t think it needs them really. I like the clean look.

Here they are individually.

The Adventure Bound Stacks are great value at $11.95. (p 40 of the Occasions Catalogue). You get 48 sheets – 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. Sized right for the front of your cards.

You can get the Thinlets and Crazy About You set as a Bundle. (p 31). For Bundle price W $112.95 C $94.25 Photopolymer $72.95. They are available individually too.

So if you have a hard time with cards for the boys then grab one of these stacks.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Jenny

Catalogues, Stampin' Up!

SALE-A-BRATION AND THE OCCASIONS CATALOGUE STARTS TODAY!!!

January 6, 2015January 6, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Two lots of exciting news for you today.

1) Sale-A-Bration is HERE!!

This has to be one of the most exciting times of the year because you get the Freebies!!! (All the details are below).

and

2) The Occasions Catalogue is out from TODAY!!

So many wonderful new products for many different events coming up in the next few months – Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day (OK they are great for male cards). There are also great sets for Birthdays, Thinking of you, Sympathy. You have to check it out!

One advantage of being a demonstrator, you can get hold of the products early and have a play. I have had a great time already. I will be showing you some of these projects over the coming days and weeks. I wanted to show you this one today.

I was inspired by another card I found on Pinterest using a different stamp set. They were quick cards to make to send out randomly this week to some people. 🙂 This is using the very lovely stamp set ‘Lotus Blossom’ that is a Sale-A-Bration set – which means you can get this for FREE!!! I think this is going to be a very popular choice. The colours I have used here are Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder; and Calypso Coral and Crisp Canteloupe.

HOW do you get these for free might you ask??

Spend $90 on any Stampin’ Up! Catalogue products between now and 31st March and you can choose any product in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue as your free choice. There are so many options for so many different tastes. (Psst! It will be hard to just choose one you know!!!).

OR, why not get extra freebies???

Host a party. When your sales reach $400 you get an extra $40 to spend.

This is on top of the already great Hostess rewards. For example, normally for a $400 party you would get $60, during Sale-A-bration you can now choose $100. (What would you choose for $100 of free products???). Now a party doesn’t have to be all your friends together in one place at a time, you can have a catalogue party. Pass the catalogues around to your friends/family/neighbours and collect your orders. When you reach $400 you still get the extra rewards – but hey! You miss out on me showing you some great projects. 😦

LET’S MAKE A DATE FOR YOUR PARTY NOW!!! Contact me ASAP to secure your date.

OK, you love the products. Why not join Stampin’ Up! Pay $169 of products, get $235 of products and then you can choose between 2 Free product options.

Option 1 is your choice of free kit from the Occasions Catalogue or Option 2 – choose any TWO Sale-A-Bration items.

How do you get to see these great new Catalogues??

1) You can view them Online now HERE.

2) Ask me to have one sent straight to you (Australian residents only).

I can’t wait to share more exciting projects with you so stay tuned. 🙂

NEW YEAR CREATING WITH BUTTERFLY BASICS!

January 1, 2015January 1, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year celebrations. We had a really nice family time. I love these special moments. I have been in my craft room the past week though. I can’t keep away. I have a number of projects to share with you over the next week. It has been so nice to ink up some new stamps. Today I thought I would show you a little gift box I have just made. This is using the new Bundle ‘Butterfly Basics’.

I have used Coastal Cabana. I cut a butterfly from the butterfly Dies from Whisper White and one from the silver foil sheets. (Read below for some tips for cutting out these little intricate dies). I sponged around the edge of the white butterfly in Coastal Cabana. The strip under the butterfly is vellum which I have embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and then flagged the ends. The little postage stamp is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I added a strip of Rhinestones to the centre of the butterflies for some bling.

For the box I recreated the little box I showed in a post some time back. You can find all the details HERE.

BUTTERFLY DIES CUTTING TIPS

These butterfly dies are very intricate and like similar ones you might have a few problems cutting them out. I thought I would share my tips in cutting them to have a nice clean cut.

1. Use baking paper between your die and cardstock. You may have to also add a scrap piece of copy paper to aid the cutting further. So lay your card down on the bottom Big Shot cutting plate, place a piece of baking paper over the card, top with your die face down then add the scrap piece of copy paper. Place the top cutting plate over it.

2. When running through your Big Shot you might want to run back and forth a few times. I found I needed to run it through about 6 times.

I had several attempts playing around with this die to cut well. After some frustrations (and maybe some mumblings under my breath!), I found this to be the best result. The butterfly lifted almost cleanly off the die. I just used the Paper Piercer to start popping it in the holes and lift it slightly and then it would lift off quite easily. See how you go trying this but do persevere as it is such a beautiful die and combines so lovely with the Butterfly Basics stamp set.

I look forward to sharing more projects with you so stop by again soon,

Jenny

Christmas, Classes, Stampin' Up!

DECEMBER WONDER CHRISTMAS!

November 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I was playing around with a new stamp set last week ‘December Wonder’ from the Holiday Supplement Catalogue. At first I dismissed the set because it was marked as Project Life – and well I don’t do a lot of Project Life and certainly not Christmas. (Did you think that about the set too???). Then I had another look at it and thought it is still such a great set for your cardmaking. There are some really great images. I will show you a few projects over the next few days with the set and you can see what you think.

Here are the cards I first made.

These cards were inspired by a card on Pinterest that used ‘Endless Wishes’ but I don’t have that set. (Yes really!). I stamped the small and large snowflake on the bottom of Whisper White card. Stamped the greeting from the set and then pierced holes around the card with the Paper Piercer and mat. I tied around some ribbon, added a snowflake embellishment from the Frosted Sequins Embellishments in the Holiday Catalogue and added a Rhinestone to the centre. Quick cards that you could reproduce in a hurry.

The colours I used were Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake with the Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon and then for the second one Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake with Lost Lagoon Satin Ribbon.

Here is the stamp set for you to check out if you haven’t already noticed it in the catalogue. 🙂
