Stampin’ Up! – Page 129 – A Stamping Journey

The Envelope Punch Board is one HOT item at the moment. I have been having so much fun with mine. Last week I made this Christmas Bon-Bon. I shared it on my Facebook Business page and realised I hadn’t shown you all yet. (If you haven’t LIKED me on Facebook yet, make sure you look me up so you don’t miss out on some of the projects I post).

These are so easy to make. You can whip up a few of these at a time. They will be great filled with some treats to give out at Christmas. You can find the video on how to make these here. I have used the lovely ‘Season of Style’ DSP. For the tag I have used ‘Chalk Talk’ stamped in Gumball Green and the Christmas Bauble is from the ‘Best of Christmas’ set. Here is a close-up of the tag if you want to see it.

So have you got your Envelope Punch Board yet??? If not, why not??? You do have to have one you know! Don’t just think they are for envelopes!

We have a wet Monday here but that is good. The ground is so dry. We so need the rain.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

LET’S CATCH UP – THINLETS AND AN ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD!

November 1, 2013November 1, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I am a little behind with my blogging lately. Life is busy and with Josh studying on the computer a lot at the moment with the HSC I have had little access to the computer. BUT I am here now. Just squeezing in a little time while he is still in bed!

By now you would have known about the wonderful new products released just this past week. I thought I would show you what I have been doing with them.

Firstly, have you seen the new Thinlets Card dies??? These make fun, interactive cards in no time. Check them out.

These come in the Labels shape or the circle and come with lots of other fun bits to add to your cards. They are $55.95. I had a chance to play with Leonie’s circle thinlets the other day as I am still waiting on mine to arrive. (Thank you Leonie). Here is a fun, birthday card to create.

I have used the set ‘Sketched Birthday’ and the paper is from ‘Birthday Basics’. This is really a great pack of paper. I think it gets lost in the catalogue. Leonie kindly gave me a piece. (Thanks again Leonie!!!). You are a star 🙂

I think it was the 1 3/4″ circle punch I used to punch the circle in Summer Starfruit card and the Whisper White scallop circle is the 1 3/4″ scallop circle. I added a little bling to this too.

Now on to the Envelope Punch Board. I have been having so much fun with this new little gadget. You MUST have one of these. Not only does it cut up to 66 different size envelopes BUT there are so many other fun boxes and projects you can do with it PLUS it has a corner rounder punch on it if you need one for any of your projects.

Here are some little treat pouches I have been making with them.

Made with the ‘Sweater Weather DSP’ and ‘Label Love’ stamp set. I added a little Burlap Ribbon. Add a little treat and this might be a good one for the men in your life???

How about a Christmas one with the ‘Season of Style’ DSP.

The label is from ‘Chalk Talk’ and stamped in Gumball Green. The ornament is one from the ‘Best of Christmas’ sets and stamped in Cherry Cobbler. You could add ribbon and hang these in the Christmas tree with a special Christmas treat. These are the right size to hold a Gift card. If you want to make one you can use the Gift card size shown on the Envelope Punch Board. The original idea came from Angie over at Chic N Scratch here.

Here is a little sneak of another project I created using the Envelope Punch Board. If you are on my Facebook Business page you would have already seen it. (BTW: You can click on the link in the right hand column and ‘LIKE’ my page to see my projects I show there). I will show you the rest of this project in the new few days.

So I hope you grab yourself the Thinlets Cards Dies AND the Envelope Punch Board. I can tell you they are essential 😉

Have a good day however you spend it.

See them all here.

Here are some cards with some of the discounted sets on offer.

One with Betsy’s Blossoms I made last year using Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Rasperry Ripple.

‘Oh Hello’ Another earlier card. I used the ‘Tea for Two’ DSP and added a Lace Doily. The flower was coloured with Tangerine Tango and Lucky Limeade Markers.

This is a card I made just today using ‘A Dozen Thoughts’. I needed to make a card for a reply to a wedding for Glenn’s Nephew and his Partner. I didn’t want to just email a reply. The colour and the hearts were inspired by the Wedding Invitation. The Background stamp is one from ‘Clockworks’. I punched hearts out using the large Heart Punch and cut one from the Gold Foil Sheets and I punched one from Blushing Bride. They were both embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

There are so many more fantastic sets so go and check them out now.

You can Email or phone your order to me.

MINI CHRISTMAS TAGS

September 30, 2013September 30, 2013 Jenny Hayward

A couple of weeks ago just before our last team meeting I realised I hadn’t done swaps yet. These are not compulsory but I really hadn’t done any for a few months and yet another meeting comes by and I haven’t got anything to share. What was I going to do??? It was a couple of hours before I had to leave. I did a quick trawl on Pinterest. Isn’t that your ‘go to’ site!!!! I found some little Christmas tags that inspired me. So thought I would create some little simple tags similar to the ones I saw.

Here are the ones I created. It is not the best photo as I was just dashing out the door to leave. I gave everyone a couple of them each. I know it is only a small token BUT it was something. I realised I didn’t even keep any for myself though! DOH!

I used the Chalk Talk Framelits to cut the tags from Whisper White and Crumb Cake. I punched out little shapes using the Merry Minis punch pack. Did you know these were still available??? They are very cute. I adhered these to the tags and added a Rhinestone on the ones cut from coloured card. Then I added a small greeting. These ones are from Petite Pairs and Teeny Tiny Sentiments. I added some co-ordinating twine to finish them off. Job done in record time. I will just have to be a bit more organised next time. 🙂 Have a great day in your part of the world. It’s a lovely sunny day here. I think Summer has hit us early.

Till next time,

Jenny

Blog Hops, cards, Stampin' Up!

ESAD HOLIDAY CATALOGUE BLOG-HOP

August 29, 2013August 29, 2013 Jenny Hayward

Today is the launch of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue and what better way to showcase the fantastic new products now available is going on a Blog Hop. Come and join me in a little cyber hopping to some see some wonderful creations from my ESAD friends. Firstly,

What is ESAD?

ESAD – stands for “Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators” and is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.

We love what we do & love to share with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors. We also share what we love in our ESAD Demonstrator community, through swaps, challenges, sharing knowledge, ideas & friendship, and we’re always there to help and support each other.

So if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to leave me a comment with your Email address and I’ll contact you with information on how to join our wonderful group.

So, let’s begin!

You may have just come from Angie’s blog or you might be starting here. Either way, enjoy your travels – and I hope you are inspired. Don’t forget to leave a comment at the end to say you have visited.

Today I want to show you one of the new stamp sets ‘Wishing You’. This is on Page 23 of the Holiday Catalogue.

When you are looking for inspiration to create your projects you can spend hours trawling the internet (pinterest perhaps???!!!!!!). Don’t forget the Catalogues for ideas. They have some fantastic simple projects for you to Copy. For this one I have CASED from page 9 of the Holiday Catalogue. I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper (page 23) and the lovely Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edged Grosgrain Ribbon (page 22). The little parcels I coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers. Being a clear- mount set I could easily see where to place them. Maybe I should have got the Stamp-A-ma-jig out BUT I was lazy!!

This next card was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers. (Another great source of inspiraton!).

For this one I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper again. I have stamped the gifts and the greeting on Whisper White card and layered this on Silver Glimmer Paper for some sparkle. You have to have that, don’t you! I added a bow again using the Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon. This one is very quick to make. As long as it doesn’t take several attempts at making a half-decent bow. How do I know that? I think it took me as long to make the bow as it did to make the card.

Now the great thing with this set is it is very versatile. I like to show how you can use your Christmas sets for other occasions. You can pull this set out for Birthdays throughout the year.

This card was inspired by a card on Page 3 of the Annual Catalogue. For this I have used the ‘I Am Me’ Designer Series Paper. The gifts were coloured with Pear Pizzazz and Tangerine Tango Markers. The piece was layered under a Tangerine Tango frame cut with the Squares Collection Framelits. The greeting is from ‘Remembering your Birthday’. The card was finished off with a clip from the Essentials Hardware (page 170).

Now you can head off to the next blog on your journey. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will visit me again soon. Now you can see what fabulous creations Jenny Humphreys has made for you.

See you next time,

Jenny
