A Stamping Journey

MAKING CHRISTMAS BRIGHT CATALOGUE INSPIRED!

December 10, 2018December 8, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I have a few cards to share with you using the Making Christmas Bright Bundle in the Holiday Catalogue. You can see this bundle on page 6 and 7 of the Holiday Catalogue.

For this card I was inspired by the card on page 7.

For my sentiment I stamped it on Whisper White card and then cut it with a square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I cut a red one from one of the squares from the Layering Squares Framelits.

The base is Call Me Clover and I stamped the light string and the bulbs a number of times over the card. An individual “bulb” was stamped on scrap white and punched with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. The “top” part of the bulb was punched out in Pineapple Punch card.

It’s a fun set and great to have a punch to cut those little bulbs.

Here is the bundle.

This Bundle is being carried over but if you buy it now you will get it at 10% off. After this month it will be available individually and who wants to pay more then!

Grab it in store now -> HERE. Please use the HOST CODE: BZ6KB7SU

I have some more cards with this set so stop on by again soon.

QUICK CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH SANTA’S WORKSHOP MEMORIES AND MORE CARDS!

December 9, 2018December 8, 2018 Jenny Hayward

You might have seen the Santa’s Workshop Memories and More Card Pack in the Holiday Catalogue (p 21). Don’t just think of them as cards for Pocket Scrapbooking. That’s what I did at first to be honest. They are really cute to make quick cards up. Here are a few I had made up recently.

You can simply adhere them to a base card or layer 2 of the cards together (like I have done with the Candy Cane card). I stamped on the sentiments in black on these larger cards. Alternatively you can add a few extra embellishments (like I have done with the smaller reindeer ones). The cards come in a couple of different sizes. The larger ones are 10.2 x 15.2cm, the smaller ones are 7.6 x 10.2cm.

I must dig out some of the rest of these cards and make up some more. They come together so quickly. So great when we all starting to feel a little time poor at the moment. Unfortunately you can’t buy these anymore which is sad. You could get the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper which is Twelve 12″x12″ sheets of paper which have very cute images. That could work similar. But you better get on to those if you want them as they are low inventory stock.

Here they are for you. Aren’t they cute?

You can order them in store -> HERE for $24.25. Get on it. Please use the Host Code: BZ6KB7SU

And remember don’t mark your order “anonymous” because then I can’t send you out your Thank You card and gift.

Have a great day,

Jenny

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 10 – STYLISH CHRISTMAS BRIDGE FOLD!

December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Week 10 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. Can you believe it? Have you been following along over the weeks? I hope so. It’s been fun but I can’t believe it’s coming to the end.

Today I have a Bridge Fold card for you.

I have used the set Stylish Christmas for this which can be found in the Annual Catalogue. Don’t forget about those great Christmas sets that are in the Annual Catalogue.

The original design for the card was from Lyssa’s blog ->HERE.

I redesigned the card to make it larger and also converted it to Metric measurements. I will add them below.

BRIDGE FOLD CARD

** These are for the metric measurements. For Imperial measurements, head to Lyssa’s blog post in the link above. NB: My version is taller at 14.8cm. You would cut your card at 5 7/8″ instead of 4 1/4″ if you want that to be the same. Each of your strips would be longer too at about 5 3/4″. Hope that makes sense.

Base card – 14.8cm x 20.3 cm. Score at 3.2cm, 6.3cm, 14cm and 17.2cm

Front Strips – either card or co-ordinating paper. 2 pieces measuring 2.8cm x 14.4cm.

Centre Mat – 7.3cm x 14.4cm.

Centre piece – 6.9cm x 14cm. Whisper White.

Front Strip – 3.2cm x 14cm.

Fold the Base card. Adhere the strips to the front. Stamp the centre piece as you like. Adhere on to Centre mat and adhere to the Base card in the centre.

To adhere the Front strip: Fold the left hand edge to create a z-fold. Adhere the strip in position on the left hand piece by lining it up to the left hand edge. Leave the Right hand folds open, adhere the right hand edge of the strip on to the right hand edge.

Decorate the card as you would like. Have fun with it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

ONE FOR ALL MINI THANKS!

December 4, 2018December 4, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I hadn’t got around to sharing this little card with you. This card is just a small love note size, so 7.5cm x 7.5cm (3″x3″). I made quite a few of these mini cards recently for Customer Thank You cards. This is using the lovely One For All set.

I made 2 different versions. One in a Mint Macaron card base with the flower and stamping in Mint Macaron too and a Calypso Coral banner. Then one in a Calypso Coral base card, stamping and flower with a Mint Macaron banner. I cut the banner free hand by cutting in to the ends of the strip. I added a Vellum circle cut from the Stitched Labels Framelits. The flower is cut from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.

I sent these out as a little Thanks for customers who ordered the last month or two. With a little token gift too of course.

If you are in Australia you can purchase your Stampin’ Up! supplies from my store -> HERE and they will be sent directly to you. Ask me for the current Host Code. Alternatively, drop me a comment or message and I can arrange your order. I appreciate each and every order.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 9 – EMBOSSED VELLUM SNOWFLAKES!

November 30, 2018November 29, 2018 Jenny Hayward

For Week 9 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series I am giving the Snowflake Showcase one last hoorah! It is such a nice suite. So sad that it is going. So for today’s project I wanted to give embossing the snowflake dies a whirl. I have seen a few cards with this idea recently.

On this card I thought I would emboss the snowflakes on Vellum cardstock.

I like how this turned out. How great is it that you can emboss with your dies. It gives the cards a whole different effect.

Have you tried embossing with your dies yet? I did do it some weeks back and shared how to do it. You can see that post -> HERE.

Just to remind you the layers when embossing I have added a graphic here for you to PIN. I know I always forget and I have to look it up.

With vellum you need to be careful it doesn’t tear. If you have a problem with that you can add a piece of scrap paper in between the card and the die.

The paper on the card above is from Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper.

I love that you can stamp the snowflakes from the Snow is Glistening stamp set and cut them with the Framelit dies from the Snowfall Thinlits or you can diecut the very detailed snowflakes straight from card or the Foil Sheets. It’s very versatile.

I hope that you have got hold of this suite now as it ends today. If you need to still grab it you have just a few hours left to grab it in my store -> HERE.

Please use the Host Code: BZ6KB7SU Thank You.

LAST DAY FOR SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE PRODUCTS!

November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I have used the Snowflake Showcase products so much these past few weeks. I am sad that they are ending TOMORROW. Friday is the last day to grab any – or all of them. I have had a few people do that. They are all so lovely together. See all the details and the special bonuses for getting the whole bundle.

But first one more card.

This card was created by one of the Stampin’ Up! Artists. I love the background. I think that it has been created with the Brusho Crystals. Then a large snowflake was diecut from White Velvet Paper. Have you got that paper yet? The sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed in white on Gray Granite card. A snowflake was stamped and added to the centre. The card was finished off with some of the gorgeous Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. This is such a soft, delicate card.

Now please don’t regret not buying these products. You do need them. I know in Australia we don’t have snowflakes at Christmas but they aren’t just for snowy Christmas cards. If you have seen some of the cards I have created there has been some all-occasion cards. If you missed them then do head back a few posts or click on the tag ‘Snowflake Showcase’.

Here are the details for you again.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #48 – WAYS WITH THE TIN TILE EMBOSSING FOLDER!

November 28, 2018November 28, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I have been using the Tin Tile Embossing Folder a lot lately. This Embossing Folder is so popular every time I use it in class too. Everyone loves it. You don’t have to just run it through the Big Shot with a piece of card in the folder, Why not try some other cool ways to use it.

I found this video from Stampin’ Up! with a great tip for getting the best impression on your card but also some other fun ways to take your embossed card that extra step. So today for Wednesday’s WOW! #48 we are looking at ways you can use the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. I have a card below that I had actually used this idea on it before I even saw this video so be sure to look below.

I have to say I have yet to try embossing the Foil Sheets but don’t they look just gorgeous. (adding to my list to do …) And they looked so spectacular lightly sanding them and inking over them in parts as it showed in the video.

I like the card inked too after it has been embossed with the folder, but sponging over it with the Shimmer Paint does take the card to the next level. I shared that video a few weeks ago of how to do that. You can see that video -> HERE.

I will share the shimmered card piece again for you here below.

Using the idea of adding the Shimmer Paint to your embossed card we used that on one of our cards for the Shimmer Class last week. Everyone just loved this too and we dragged out the good and faithful set Lovely As A Tree. It’s been a while since we have used this set but it never gets dated. It lends itself to so many occasions and techniques. NOTE: If you don’t have this set yet do yourself a favour and grab it. You can order it in my store now -> HERE.

Here is the card we made. Using the Copper Shimmer Paint we lightly daubered over the embossed card in places to add some shine. Just a note too. For the tree we daubered over some Copper Shimmer directly on the stamp. We also did that with the Sentiment which is from the Host Set Hung With Care.
