BY THE BAY 

This was a fun Smooshing technique.  See the post HERE.

This By The Bay was stamped on the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets.  See the post HERE.

SO HOPPY TOGETHER

This is a bright, cheery froggy card.  I called it a Half-Fold card but it’s not quite half. You can see it in this post HERE.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #62 – 5 WAYS WITH THE STORY LABEL PUNCH!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #62  If you have the Story Label Punch (or realise that you do need it 🙂 ), then check this out.  I want to show you 5 Ways to use the Story Label Punch.

The Story Label Punch is available now as a Sale-A-Bration Co-ordination product.  THIS ENDS ON SUNDAY!!! I don’t know if it will be carried over though.

Here are some different ways to use this punch.  Of course, you can stamp a sentiment, punch it out and add that to your card which is nice but what about some other ways.

1.Tie it – Punch a hole in one end and thread some ribbon or twine through OR wrap some Thread or Twine around one of the ends.

2. Layer it – Stamp a sentiment on a smaller shape, adhere that to another shape then layer them all together on the punched label. For this one I have used the Everyday Label Punch.

3. Add a Different Punch – Check out your other punches or dies to adhere them together to make a fun shape.

4. Cut it – stamp a sentiment on white and punch it out.  Then punch the label from another colour cardstock.  You can cut that label in half (either horizontally or vertically). Adhere this one behind your stamped label by just separating them slightly so you just see an edge of the coloured label.

5. Change it – Make it a different shape.  This is great for smaller sentiments that might look too big on the original punch shape.  Trim it with your Paper Trimmer by lining up the points of the curve in the Trimmer and cut off the edge.

Let me show you a card where I layered the punch.  This is actually a card we are making in class this Friday.  I have CASED it from Le Ann Greff ->HERE.  I loved the way the label was used on this card BUT also check the flowers.  This is from the Painted Blooms set.  I daubered the centre with Early Espresso ink like she did.  It gives it a different look.  I embossed my stamped white card piece with the Subtle Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

What other different ways could you try?

Now as I was playing around with these I realised that some of the images from the set Label Me Pretty fit well in to this punch shape.  I stamped one up to show you.  Well actually I took one of the images and coloured it with the Markers and then punched it out.  I really haven’t used this set very much in the years that I have had it.  And did you know there is actually little butterflies in this image?  I hadn’t even noticed.

In Australia? Grab your Story Label Punch in my store today before you miss out. Shop -> HERE.  Please use the Host Code: JQGFKFT9

This ends on Sunday (or while supplies last).  So don’t delay.

BOTANICAL BUTTERFLIES WEEK BONUS – W CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have a bonus project to share with you today for Botanical Butterflies week.  It’s a ‘W’ card.  I have seen a few of them around and was wanting to try one.  We made this one at our team meeting on Wednesday night and I thought it was good timing. So you get a bonus project.

Don’t look closely.  It was made in a rush at the meeting.  There are lots of parts to this card but it will give you an idea.  And can’t beat those pretty butterflies from the gorgeous Botanical Butterflies paper.

This is the card closed.  Tied up with some of the lovely soft Lemon Lime Twist Organdy ribbon.  The sentiment is from Incredible Like You and the paper on the front is from the Gingham Gala Paper. 

This is the inside of the card with more pretty butterflies.

I won’t give you the details of how to make one as you can check it out for yourself.  The card was CASED from Jan B cards.  HERE is the link to her Youtube video.  It’s long one.  It goes for 47 minutes so be prepared with a drink in hand and take notes.  The card is very easy though once all the cutting is done and you can decorate it anyway you like.

What could you do inside? Some stamped and cut images, a baby card, maybe a 4 letter name. Endless ideas to work with.

Have fun with it.

I hope you like the Botanical Butterflies week.  The ideas I have shared could work with any paper.  This gorgeous paper is Free though.  Can’t beat that. 

This is a Sale-A-Bration choice for orders over $90.  You could choose the gorgeous Painted Seasons paper or any of the other choices.  You only have one week left so get on it.

In Australia? You can order in my store -> HERE.  

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD MARCH BLOG HOP – RAINBOW FLOWERS!

Jenny Hayward

2 posts in one day! This post I am joining in with a Blog Hop for the Stamping Around the World Tutorial team.  Each month we join in a hop with a project using the same stamp set we used in our Monthly Tutorials.  It’s a great way of seeing a different way of using them.  You might be starting here or have just come from Sandra’s amazing creations.

For my project today I am using the Painted Seasons Stamp set.  It’s been a very popular set in recently and to think that it is a free set with your order!

I wanted a fun, bright card.  I have made a rainbow of flowers on my card.

I stamped the flower in the set over a piece of white card to create a rainbow effect.  The inks used were Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape.  The sentiment is from Love What You Do set.  And did you notice the label shape? I used the new Story Label Punch.  I stamped a piece in Granny Apple Green too and then cut the piece in half and layered it behind the stamped white piece.

While making this card I stamped a few pieces of Whisper White to work on the arrangement.  I didn’t want to waste them so I made another 2 cards with the pieces.

The sentiment on the above cards are from the Butterfly Gala Stamp set and diecut with a small rectangle from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits.  I cut another one in Silver Foil and cut it in half and layered it behind the stamped rectangle.

I hope you like the cards.  They are simple but I think bright and colourful and very quick to make.

BOTANICAL BUTTERFLIES PAPER WEEK – BUTTERFLY LACE!

Jenny Hayward

Another project to share with you today for our Botanical Butterflies Paper Week.  This one is a simple one but I think elegant.  Hope you like it.

I haven’t used this gorgeous Lace Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder a lot.  It has such lovely detail to it.  You don’t need to do much more with it.  Emboss the white card and wrap around some Lemon Lime Twist Organdy Ribbon. (Did you know we have limited supplies of this ribbon back.  They won’t be around long though).

Then adhere the white card to the Lemon Lime Twist card.  Diecut a circle from Vellum using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and adhere that down on your card.  I used a little Snail Adhesive to the back of the circle in the centre.  Punch a butterfly from the Botanical Butterflies paper using the Butterfly Duet Punch and adhere that on to the circle.

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala Stamp set and cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits with a few loopy, loops of Copper Thread.

So it is just a touch of the paper but how pretty are these butterflies to make a feature in themselves.

Thanks for visiting me.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #61 – BOTANICAL BUTTERFLIES GIFT BAG!

Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #61.  I have something special today.  I hope you like it.  I am featuring the Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper all week.  Of course you can use any paper for these projects but how pretty is this paper – and bonus because it is free!

Today I want to show you this cutie Butterfly bag.  I have the tutorial below for you.

For the cute tag above I punched a butterfly from a scrap piece of the paper using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I used the Detailed Trio Punch on the white tag. The sentiment is from Beauty Abounds.

Here is the side view.

This is such an easy Gift Bag to make and it only uses 1/2 sheet of the Designer Series Paper.  You can make a few in no time.

BUTTERFLY GIFT BAG

METRIC MEASUREMENTS:

30.5cm x 15cm.

Score on the long side at 12cm, 14.5cm, 26.5cm and 29cm.

Score on the short side at 2.5cm and 12.5cm.

 

IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS:

12” x 6”.

Score on the long side at 4 ¾”, 5 ¾”, 10 ½”, and 11 ½”

Score on the short side at 1” and 5”.

 

With the paper in landscape orientation, cut up on the scored lines along the bottom up to the score line.  Angle the cuts if you prefer so the tabs will sit better when they are folded up.

Fold on all the score lines.  On the top score lines fold the paper forward to show the other side of the paper.  Adhere this down on to the front.  See the photo to show it clearer.

Place adhesive on the narrow side tab and fold the paper to form a box shape.  Adhere this narrow tab to join the other side.  Place adhesive to the bottom small tabs.  Fold up and then adhere the long tabs at the bottom to form the box.

HANDLES:

Card strip – 2 @ 1.2cm x 14.8cm.

2 @ ½” x 6”

For the handles: Firstly, take a strip and run it up and down on the edge of the table.  This helps curve the card and breaks down the tissue a little.

Place adhesive on each end of one strip, Position one end inside the bag at the top.  Gently curve the strip and adhere the other end to the inside of the bag.  Repeat the same for the second strip on the other side.

———-

Have fun creating them,

Jenny

FAB FRIDAY #145 WITH BOTANICAL BUTTERFLIES PAPER!

Jenny Hayward

Continuing with the Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper series for this week.  I have another cute card with this gorgeous paper.

How pretty are these butterflies?  You don’t need much to put together a card when you have paper like this.  I went for the colourful butterflies print for this card.  The black and white diagonal stripe paper at the sides are the reverse of this print.  I simply cut 2 strips to run along the edge of some Lemon, Lime Twist card and then adhered them both to the back of the paper piece.

To put the card together I used a card sketch from Fab Friday #145.  You can see that sketch -> HERE.

Watch out for another project tomorrow – and it’s our Wednesday’s WOW! project so be sure to stop by.

BOTANICAL BUTTERFLY PAPER WITH BLENDS!

Jenny Hayward

It’s a Botanical Butterflies Week this week. 

I will share a number of projects with you using the gorgeous Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration.  There is only 2 weeks left for this gorgeous paper so let’s get it out and use it.  It follows my theme from posts some time ago to #usethatpaper

I used a piece of the small black and white butterfly print and coloured the butterflies with the Stampin’ Blends.  It is such an easy way to add colour. I used the Balmy Blue and the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I think looking at it now I should have added some bright green like the Granny Apple Green on parts of the “wisps”.  I also coloured one butterfly from the paper and cut it out to add on the sentiment.

The sentiment is from Butterfly Gala and cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits.  I cut a 2nd rectangle in Daffodil Delight card and adhered it underneath the sentiment.  Perhaps I should have done some silver under there instead.  I did this card weeks ago and I can see so many things I would do differently.  But anyway, perhaps it will inspire you in some way and know that you can colour the paper with the Stampin’ Blends.

Have a closer look at this paper.  Keep in mind that there is only 2 weeks left to grab this as your free choice.  It could be sooner if it runs out so don’t delay on this.

Also, note:  There is a small supply of this Organdy Ribbon back in stock too as your Sale-A-Bration choice but that won’t stay around long either.

Watch out this week as I bring some more projects using this pretty paper.

SO HOPPY HALF FOLD CARD!

Jenny Hayward

I have a bright, happy card for you today.  I wanted to create some more with this fun Sale-A-Bration set So Hoppy Together.  I have made a few cards recently.  If you missed them you can click on the tag ‘So Hoppy Together’ down the bottom.

For the card I cut off about 3cm (1 1/4″) on the front panel.  The cheery paper is from the How Sweet It Is DSP pack.  I had JUST enough of that paper for the front.  The frog is stamped in Memento and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. 

Of course, I used the Layering Circles Framelits and the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  These don’t move too far off my table. The little tag is from the Wood Crate Framelits.  It’s just the right size.  The card was inspired by THIS card here but I decided to cut the card down and changed it around a little. 

Here is the inside.  I stamped the flies down the side.  Cute but in real life I don’t like being in a swarm of flies especially with those bulging eyes.  🙂  The sentiment is from Amazing Life.

How fun is it??

You can still get the So Hoppy Together stamp set but not for much longer.  2 weeks left for Sale-A-Bration. The Hop Around Framelits are still available here but in short supply so if you want them Get Them Now.  NOTE: These are additional products to purchase not a Free Sale-A-Bration choice. Available for $47 AUS.

You can order in my store -> HERE.  Please use the Host Code JQGFKFT9    Don’t forget to choose your Sale-A-Bration item.
