SUNSET WITH THE 2019 STAMPIN’ UP! INCOLORS!

May 31, 2019May 31, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Ok, maybe this is a bit of a loose title but hey sometimes it’s hard to be creative with blogging. 🙂

I have been playing with the new 2019 Incolors lately. I will say when I first saw them I was a bit blah! BUT now I have been playing with them a bit I am really warming to them. I will talk to you more about them in a later post but I thought we would start with this card today. I wanted to use all the Incolors together.

I thought this reminded me of a sunset over the ocean. That’s what it is like where I live anyway. We have Pretty Peacock at the bottom for the grass under the lighthouse, Seaside Spray for the water, Purple Posy as the sky is changing, a little more pink with Rococo Rose and the orange with the Terracotta Tile. Can you see it now??

Here is my inspiration. This is our local lighthouse in Wollongong. The sky wasn’t that orange this night unfortunately but it can get quite intense. You just have to imagine it.

To create the card I cut equal strips of the Incolors then adhered them to a piece of Whisper White card. This was a lot easier to line them up. Also since I was embossing it with the Subtle Embossing Folder it made it easier to run through the machine.

I used the new Sail Away stamp set which is a really cool one. Watch out for more with this.

Stay tuned for more creating with the Incolors too. Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #69 – REATTACHING THE LOCK BUTTON ON YOUR STAMPIN’ UP! PUNCHES

May 29, 2019June 4, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Do you have this problem? The lock mechanism on your punches pop out and you can’t get them back in. I found this video on Youtube to help you get them back in and to stop it happening in the first place.

So for Wednesday’s WOW! #69 – how to reattach the lock on your punches. I tried it and it works.

Thanks Kat for this video. It was very helpful.

Now you can go off and fix those little locks on your punches.

Have a great day,

TIME TO CELEBRATE WITH EVERYTHING IS ROSY!

May 28, 2019May 27, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I have another card for you with the Everything is Rosy Medley. I think this one might be one of my favourites.

I had a small piece of this pretty flowery pattern from the paper pack. It’s a shame that you can’t see the shiny Rose Gold embossed flowers. If you have this paper you will know what I mean. Most of the pieces in the pack have some Rose Gold embossing on it.

I cut this flowery piece in half then added them on to a white card mat with a strip of Melon Mambo. This card strip is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder but it is hard to see in the photo.

Before you add the piece to your Night of Navy card base wrap some of the Night of Navy ribbon around. This ribbon is gorgeous. I would love to have more of this ribbon. It has the Rose Gold Metallic edge to it. Just divine!

With the Rose Gold Diecuts in the pack simply stamp one of the sentiments on the piece and add that to your card front. I diecut one of the leafy pieces in the dies set in Melon Mambo card just for an added touch.

Have you got this medley yet? Have you enjoyed creating with it? You don’t realise how gorgeous it is until you unpack it do you.

If you plan on getting the Everything Is Rosy product Medley you need to be quick. There is only a few days left. I know it is a larger expense ($139 AUS) but I will tell you it is so much value. Someone calculated it to be over $180 in value. You really won’t be disappointed. Although I think you will be disappointed if you miss out.

Head to my store now -> HERE to pick one up. Please use the Host code: EUEAGC3N

After your order is placed I will send you out an email with the 12 Free Tutorial projects for this month (These are not including Everything is Rosy projects).

FAREWELL TO THE 2017-2019 INCOLORS!

May 27, 2019May 27, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I am sad that these colours are leaving us. I have to say I have really liked working with most of these colours. Especially Lemon Lime Twist. I thought I would share a few photos of projects I have made over the last 2 years as we send off these colours.

At the beginning of the 2017 Catalogue when these colours launched I had to show them all together with a flower display using the Daisy Punch.

I like to create a group of cards using the Incolors. These ones use the Detailed Floral Thinlits.

I think Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist has been a popular colour combination I have used over the last 2 years.

Lemon Lime Twist is just as nice on it’s own. It does seem a lot more intense though.

Tranquil Tide. I used it a little bit. It was a nice shade of green. This one was using the Eastern Beauty stamp set.

Fresh Fig and Powder Pink I haven’t used all that much. But here they are together with Berry Burst.

So we farewell the 2017-2019 Incolors. What colour are you saddest to see going?

Inkpads and some of these colours of cardstock are still available to order. Be sure to stock up if you like them. The Reinkers have all sold out though so you are a little late with those.

See the retiring incolors and to order in my store head-> HERE

Please use the Host Code: EUEAGC3N when ordering. Thank you kindly. And be sure to not mark your order anonymous or I won’t be able to send you out a little Thank You. 🙂

Next week we will be welcoming in the 2019-2021 Incolors. I have been playing with these a lot over the weekend so I watch out for some projects soon.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #68 – FAREWELL LOVELY AS A TREE!

May 22, 2019May 21, 2019 Jenny Hayward

Today is a special Wednesday’s WOW!

Today we take a moment to remember the timeless Lovely As A Tree set. It is so sad that this set is leaving us. Each year we scour the catalogue to see if it has made it in. This year though I think we were all saddened to see that it’s time had finally come.

This set started in the Catalogue in the US back in 2001. I believe it was designed by Shelli Gardner’s sister who started Stampin’ Up! with Shelli. This set has been like a much loved family member so it is a sad occasion. I bought this set in my first Demonstrator order after I joined back in 2008. This set has had so much use and I think every Christmas it gets pulled out. It is such a classic stamp set.

So today for Wednesday’s WOW! #68 we look back at some of my projects with this stamp set. I am sad that I couldn’t find photos of some cards I had made but let’s have a look back at these projects I have kept. I have to say it is also a look back at my stamping style too. Perhaps that is a little embarrassing but … anyway. Enjoy the nostalgic journey. Apologies in advance for lots of photos.

May 2011 – See the original Post -> HERE.

I don’t know what I was thinking with that button.

Even the inside of the card was stamped with the trees.

From a Stamp A Stack Christmas 2011 with another classic stamp Dasher. What a great combination these stamps were. See the original post -> HERE.

These cards were some I received for Christmas 2013. It included a couple of cards using the Lovely As A Tree set. I like how the tree is used on it’s side to give the effect of branches. Very cute.

This Tunnel card was a favourite at a Christmas Card class in 2013. You can see that post -> HERE and I included a Tutorial how to make the Tunnel card there too in that blog post. Go and check it out.

This one below was a real WOW! at class back in 2011. Everyone loved this card. This was a Sparkly Christmas card. You can see it in this post -> HERE and I have a tutorial how to make it in that post. You can use this technique with any stamp set.

Now this next card we actually made at a team meeting like nearly 2 years ago. I didn’t quite finish it at the time. So I put it aside on my desk to finish. All it needed was to be stuck together and a sentiment added. Well I actually finished it a month ago. Or actually my daughter finished it for me.

On this card I masked a section of the card and sponged in the section. Then with the group of trees I heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder.

This card below was the most recent one from last Christmas. I realised I hadn’t shared this card with you before. We used the Copper Shimmer Paint and swiped it over the card mat that had been embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder.

Then for more shine we added the Shimmer Paint directly to the tree stamp and also on to the sentiment stamp. To do this use the Dauber and pick some Shimmer Paint from inside the lid of the Shimmer Paint bottle then lightly dauber over the stamp. Then stamp it on your card. Against the Merry Merlot colour it is quite classy.

So sadly the Lovely As A Tree stamp set has sold out now. I hope you managed to get hold of one.

A new replacement might just be the Rooted in Nature stamp set. Have you added that one yet to your collection? This set has a number of stamps AND dies. I think this will be a good alternative. Hopefully I will get to play more with that one again soon.

Thanks everyone for your patience as we wander down memory lane.

Farewell Lovely As A Tree. You have been a reliable stamp set for all those special projects and festive occasions. You will be missed. But I won’t be able to part with you just yet. Enjoy your retirement.

MELON MAMBO ROSY!

May 20, 2019May 20, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I have some more Everything is Rosy cards for you today. I have been smashing them out lately. They are all such gorgeous products and it really doesn’t take much to put a card together. Such pretty papers … 🙂

These diecut labels make it very easy – and fancy. Simply stamp on the sentiment and you are good to go. Perhaps the longest part is diecutting the detailed border trim but a couple of runs through your machine and the card pops out of the die really easily.

It is hard to catch the shine in the paper with the embossed Rose Gold details. Just gorgeous though.

Thanks for looking. Have an awesome week. I will be back soon with more.

Jenny

Don’t forget to grab your Everything is Rosy Medley before they run out. In Australia? See them in store -> HERE.

ROSE GOLD SHINE WITH EVERYTHING IS ROSY!

May 18, 2019May 17, 2019 Jenny Hayward

I shared this card on my Instagram stories the other day. (If you want to follow me click on the Instagram icon on the right hand column). I really wanted to show the shine from the Rose Gold Foil. It’s hard to capture it properly. I had to take this photo a few times to really see it. I hope you can see just how gorgeous it is.

I embossed the Rose Gold Foil with the Country Floral Embossing Folder. You don’t need to do much more. I just added some of the gorgeous Everything is Rosy Paper and added a diecut flower. The medley has diecut labels too so I could just quickly stamp the sentiment and add that.

A note with the Foil. Don’t use the Multipurpose Tombow adhesive on the back of Foil Sheets. It seems to absorb in to it and it isn’t pretty. I used Snail Adhesive which worked fine.

Grab your Everything is Rosy Medley of products before they sell out. You will love them with stamps, dies, gorgeous ribbon, papers and embellishments. Not to mention the beautiful Rose Gold Shimmer Paint. You won’t be disappointed.
