SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 4!

Jenny Hayward

Today I have another card for our Snowflake Showcase Week.  I realised that it is using Bermuda Bay again.  Sorry about that but isn’t it a nice snowflake-y colour.

This is a card we made in our class last week.  I wasn’t sure about it.  I thought it might be too simple but everyone loved it.  So I thought I would include this in our Showcase week.  Really it might be simple but with the gorgeous detail there doesn’t have to be much on a card.

The lovely swirly snowflake is cut with the White Velvet Paper and the large snowflake with the Silver Glimmer Paper.  I added a Silver Adhesive Rhinestone to the centre of it.  I added a couple of stamped snowflakes.  The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray.  It’s a sweet sentiment but I wouldn’t wish a blizzard on anyone. 🙂

SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 3 – AND A VIDEO FOR WEDNESDAY’S WOW!

Jenny Hayward

Day 3 of our Snowflake Showcase Week.  Half-way through.  Today’s card is simple really but I think effective – and they can turn out differently each time.

The background for this card is a Watercolour wash.  I have used Bermuda Bay and of course the Snow is Glistening stamp set and Snowfall Thinlits.

The large snowflake is cut from the White Velvet Paper. Have I told you how soft and furry it is?  So nice and adds such a lovely texture to your projects.  I have also used the Silver Glimmer Paper and the tiny snowflake is from the White Velvet Paper too.

Do you want to see how I have done the Watercolour Wash background?  Since it is a Wednesday and time for Wednesday’s WOW! #45 I thought I would combine the two.  How about that. 🙂

You can see the video below. (NB: If you receive the blog updates by email and the video hasn’t shown then click on the title at the top to go to the blog post and watch it there). 

I am just starting out more with videos.  They are not easy let me say … 🙂 I would love to know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions to improve them, please drop a comment and let me know.

How are you liking the Snowflake Showcase products?  Have you bought any yet?

Just a reminder what these products are as you couldn’t see them well in the video.

If you are in Australia you can order these now from me.  Remember these are only available in November AND only while supplies last, so don’t delay with them.

Order in store -> HERE.  Please use the Host Code: KGQKCBA4

OR email me to arrange an order.

Thanks for watching.  Now go and try that wash technique.

SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 2!

Jenny Hayward

For Day 2 of our Snowflake Showcase Week I wanted to show that these products don’t need to just be for Christmas – and they don’t need to be snowflakes.  I love these products but I know that in our hot climate in Australia we don’t have snowflakes at Christmas so this suite might not be as appealing.

Here is today’s card you can create that is great for any occasion.

The background stamping on this is using Southern Serenade set.  You could use any background stamping.  I used the Snowfall Thinlits to create a pretty flower in Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist and Pear Pizzazz card.  The sentiment from the Snow is Glistening stamp set is heat embossed in white and cut out with a small Framelit with the Bunch of Banners Framelits dies.

This is the Southern Serenade set if you haven’t noticed it much before.  I really haven’t used it enough lately. I particularly love the sentiments in it.

You can order this and any of the Snowflake Showcase products in my store now if you are in Australia.  Or you can contact me directly.

Order in store -> HERE.  Please use the Host Code: KGQKCBA4

Thanks for looking.  Be ready for Day 3 tomorrow.

SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 1!

Jenny Hayward

This week I am featuring the Snowflake Showcase Suite.  I have had so much fun creating with these products.  They are absolutely gorgeous.  All the details and the delicate little snowflakes. are so pretty even if we don’t have snow here at Christmas.  You can create so much more with them though not just for Christmas.  I will be showing these ideas too.  So each day this week watch out for the projects in my Snowflake Showcase Week. 

Here is today’s projects.  Well it’s actually 2 cards for you in different colours.

This one is in Bermuda Bay.  I actually made this one a few weeks ago and we used it as the make in my team meeting.  You can’t tell but that gorgeous swirl is cut in the White Velvet Paper.  So soft and furry.  I do love it. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray.  I find that a little softer sometimes than stamping in the black.  The tiny snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party.

This version below is in Night of Navy with the small snowflakes stamped in Balmy Blue.  The sentiment on this one is stamped in the Memento Black.

Which colour do you like better?

This is the lovely products in the suite if you haven’t seen them yet.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 5 – TIMELESS TIDINGS HOLLY!

Jenny Hayward

I have a relatively simple card for you today for Week 5 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This is using the Timeless Tidings stamp set.

The card mat and stamped piece is actually White.  It does look Very Vanilla in the photo.  Lighting wasn’t great this morning.

The Holly was stamped on Thick Whisper White in Memento ink and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.  The piece was cut with one of the squares in the Layering Squares Framelits.  A Gold Foil Scallop square was cut with the scallop in the Layering Squares Framelits.

Of course it needed some loopy, loops of Copper Thread.  I don’t seem to make many cards without it do it. 🙂

The sentiment from the Timeless Tidings set is stamped in black.  The card base is Cherry Cobbler.

I have to say I wasn’t sure of this card and I am still sure.  What do you think?? I think it might be missing something.  Never mind.  I hope it inspires you to create a version of it.  Do share with me if you do.  I love to see what you create.

Here is the Timeless Tidings stamp set.  I love the sentiments on it.

You can find this set in my store now -> HERE.  Clear Mount $35.  Really it is not that expensive for all these lovely images.

Ordering online?  Head to the link just above. Please use the Host Code:  KGQKCBA4  Don’t forget don’t mark your order as anonymous as I can’t send you a Thank You gift.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend.

BOO BLACK CATS!

Jenny Hayward

We don’t celebrate Halloween much in Australia.  Although this year I am so surprised at the increase in costumes and decorations and sweets available.  😦  We certainly don’t give Halloween cards out so I don’t usually share Halloween projects.  This card though, we made at our Team Shoebox Swap a couple of months ago.  Since I have it I thought I would share it with you.

I can’t remember who shared it now for us to make.  Someone wonderful in our Inky Fingers Team.  I had to say I struggled with this card chopping off the heads of the punched black cats and then there was the discussion from others of what they could do with the headless cats!!!

Anyway to the card.  A Very Vanilla card mat was embossed with the Woodland Embossing Folder and adhered to a Very Vanilla Card base.  The BOO was cut with the Large Letters Framelits.  3 Black cats were punched out with the Cat Punch and 2 of them had their heads chopped off to adhere behind the letters.  Then the full cat was adhered to the front of the letters.  The eyes were drawn in with the Chalk Marker.  I messed those up a little.  So Boo to you! I hope you like it. 🙂

Have a great day,

Jenny
