A Stamping Journey

MARINA MIST SECRET GARDEN!

February 11, 2013February 11, 2013 Jenny Hayward

While I am on a roll with ‘Secret Garden’ cards I thought I would show you another one. This card was inspired by this card here.

Here is my version.

The flowers are stamped in Midnight Muse onto Marina Mist card and cut with the matching Framelits. The large flower was stamped a second time and the middle section was cut out and layered onto the large flower. Yes, cut with scissors! The greeting is from “Petite Pairs” and stamped in Midnight Muse on to Whisper White. Then this was layered onto Midnight Muse card. For the base I ran a piece of Marina Mist card through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and layered it on to the Marina Mist Card base.

I have been playing with some other stamps from the new Seasonal Catalogue AND Sale-A-Bration. So much to play with at the moment! I love to have you vist. I hope you can visit again soon.

SECRET GARDEN 60TH!!

February 6, 2013October 25, 2022 Jenny Hayward

I have another card to show you using the ‘Secret Garden’ Stamp Set. This is similar to the card I showed in the last post but I did actually make this one first. This is for my lovely friend Leonie N for her birthday. I won’t tell you how old she turned!!! 😉

CARD: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery.

STAMP: Secret Garden.

INK: Black StazOn.

OTHER: Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Ovals Framelits, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet (retired), Marina Mist Satin Ribbon (retired), Adhesive Pearls.

I was really pleased with how this turned out. I love this Embossing Folder. You really don’t need much more to a card. It just adds such lovely texture.

Thanks for stopping by today. I look forward to you visiting again soon. 🙂

I really appreciate your comments. It’s nice to know I am reaching out somewhere in Blogosphere and inspiring you.

Personal Ramblings

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTRALIA!!!!

January 26, 2013January 26, 2013 Jenny Hayward

It’s Australia Day here. A great day for family BBQ’s and celebrating. We have just come home from the Aquathon at Wollongong. No, I didn’t compete. If only I was that fit ………….. I was support crew for Glenn. There are many more activities planned for the rest of they day there with fireworks tonight but after an early start I think we were done for the day!

Anyway, I thought I would stop by and share this little thing I saw recently. My overseas visitors might get a laugh – or might be completely horrified!!

That about sums it up doesn’t it!!!!!

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

VINTAGE VERSES IN POOL PARTY!!

January 23, 2013January 23, 2013 Jenny Hayward

Here is one of the first cards I have made with one of the Free Sale-A-Bration sets. Have to say it didn’t come together quite like in my head BUT anyway I am going to show you.

A piece of Pool Party card was cut with a larger Labels Framelits and then embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of DSP from the ‘Floral District’ pack with a smaller Labels Framelits and this was layered under the Pool Party card. The verse from Vintage Verses was stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White and layered under that. It was all adhered to the front of a Pool Party card base. The fold of the card is on the Left Hand side. I added a small heart punched from Silver Glimmer Paper. White Organze ribbon was wrapped around the card and some Pool Party Satin ribbon (one of the Free choices with Sale-A-Bration) was tied through this. All this resulted in an elegant card – I think???? I’m still not completely sure about the card though. Hope you like it and may find some inspiration!!

Thanks for stopping by. I have some more Sale-A-Bration creations in store so stop by again soon,

“PEEKING OWL!”

January 17, 2013January 17, 2013 Jenny Hayward

It’s been a bit quiet here lately. School holidays are still happening and so not a great lot of time to create. In the time I have had I have been busy making some samples using the great Sale-A-Bration sets and also playing with some new toys from the new Seasonal Catalogue coming out very soon. I will show you those soon but I wanted to show you this card I made last week. I have been wanting to create this one for a little while so just HAD to do it before I got too busy.

Doesn’t he look cute peeking through the hole. The card is made using the Early Espresso Core’dinations cardstock. I cut it lengthwise and then ran the top section through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I sanded the card a little to accentuate the woodgrain. It makes it look just like the owl is sitting in a tree. The Scallop Circle and the Modern Label punch are in Daffodil Delight. The ribbon is the Primrose Petals Satin Stitched Ribbon.

Here is the inside view. A friend has joined him.

I haven’t added a greeting inside as yet. I can add that later when I know what the occasion will be. This card was CASED from a card on Late Night Stampers group I think. I’m sorry I don’t know the original creator though. I hope you like my version??

Thanks for stopping by today to see my cheeky owls. Come and visit again soon.

A MASCULINE 50TH!

January 7, 2013January 7, 2013 Jenny Hayward

Last week I needed to create a 50th Birthday card for my Brother-in-law. What to do??? Masculine cards are always a dilemma. I went through my “saved card ideas”. We all have one (or more) of those files don’t we?? The layout was inspired by this card by Debra Currier. Of course I couldn’t use Extreme Elements now but ‘Clockworks’ was a good substitute. A racy red sportscar is a good addition for a 50th. Unfortunately it wasn’t a real one though! 🙂 The ’50’ was done on the Bigshot with ‘Timeless Type Alphabet’ now retired. I punched a circle with the large circle on the Owl punch and punched a centre hole with a small hole punch. I threaded some Linen Thread through it to create a tag. The edge of the tag was sponged with ink.

While I was on a roll I created a similar card to use for another Male Birthday. They can always come in handy. This time I used the “Wish Big” from ‘Word Play’.

Here are the 2 together. I did use Sahara Sand on both these cards but they do look a little different. Possibly the lighting – or my bad photography!

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a good day. I hope my Aussie friends are surviving the heat. It has been hot and looks like it will continue all week. Stay cool 🙂

Come and visit again soon,

“SCENTSATIONAL” BABY!

January 1, 2013January 1, 2013 Jenny Hayward

Don’t put some of those Christmas stamps away just yet! It’s great to know that you can use them for more occasions than the season they were intended.

Here is a great idea I found on Stampin’ Connection, a Demonstrator Forum I am on. This was CASED from Mercedes Weber. You can visit her blog here. She is just the cleverest 🙂

How cute is this using the set “Scentsational Season”. I would never have thought to use this for a baby card, but what a great idea! The clouds are punched from the Cupcake Punch and ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The DSP is Tempting Turquoise and is from the Brights Paper Stack. The greeting is from “Itty Bitty Banners” and cut with the Bitty Banner Framelits. There you go, a baby card using a Christmas set. Who’d have thought Hey!!!!

Well, 2013 has dawned. I hope this year brings you all you hope for. Keep looking forward to achieve your goals. Don’t dwell on the bad stuff, they just weigh you down.

Happy 2013 to you,

Jenny x

CHOCOLATE TREE!!

December 31, 2012December 31, 2012 Jenny Hayward

Ok, one more Christmas creation before New Year. I just really wanted to show you this one. I found the tutorial for these recently on Brenda’s blog here. It is really clever. Just after I saw this I found the Kisses and Mini Hershey bars at a local discount store. I was so excited because they are really hard to come by here and YAY! now I could make them!!

Here is my Chocolate Tree.

Here is a view from the top.

Do you like it? Once you get the folding right for the triangles in the middle they are really easy. They would make a really nice gift to give at Christmas. A bit late for this year but maybe file the idea away for next year!!!

Wishing you a Very Happy 2013. Stay safe as you celebrate. I want you all to be healthy and well for another year of creating and sharing.

See you next year!
