2015 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue

ANGEL WITH THE FESTIVE FLOWER BUILDER PUNCH!

November 19, 2015November 19, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I found this idea on Pinterest some time ago by a Demonstrator friend Delys. It’s a cute angel using the Festive Flower Builder Punch. How clever!!! It’s always good to find different ways of using the Stampin’ Up! products. I made the angel up some time ago but only recently added it to a card.

I will show you a link to Delys’ blog shortly so you can make your own but I will just give you some details on the card.

It took me some time to make the card as I was wondering how to make it without the rest of the card taking the attention away from the angel. So I simply layered it on a white oval and matted that on a Gold Foil Oval. This was adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base which I had adhered some of the gorgeous Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack. I had wrapped around some Gold Cording Trim and added the greeting from the Christmas Greeting Thinlets Dies cut from Gold Foil Sheets. What do you think????

So do you want to make your own?? Here is the link to Delys’ blog that shows the pieces you need. Go and check it out.

Thanks for visiting. Have an happy day,

Jenny 🙂

POINSETTIA SPARKLE!

October 15, 2015October 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Today’s card I want to share is using the great bundle ‘Reason For The Season’ stamp set and Festive Flower Builder Punch. I love how this card came together.

The base card is Real Red. That seems to be the colour card I have used most with these recent Christmas cards! I embossed some Whisper White cardstock with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. The flower is so easy to put together. Stamp out all your petals and leaves, I have used Real Red on Whisper White and Mossy Meadow ink on the cardstock. I punched out a circle with the 1 3/8″ circle punch in scrap white card and built up the flower on this. I have used the Multipurpose adhesive to adhere it all together. The centre is punched out with Gold Foil and I added a Real Red Brights Candy Dot to the centre. The “merry” cut from Gold Foil is from the Christmas Greetings Thinlets.

I would really recommend this Bundle. You can find it on p31 of the Holiday Catalogue. In Australia it is $57.75. Save 15% as a Bundle. Gotta love that! You can order this through my Online Store HERE or by phoning/emailing me.

Here are these great products.

Thanks for stopping by today.

CHRISTMAS CUTIES ANGEL!

October 7, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I wanted to colour the other day. I haven’t done a lot of colouring especially that Blendabilities aren’t around. I pulled out the ‘Christmas Cuties’ stamp set that is available in the Holiday Catalogue. There are some really cute images in this set and I played around with different mediums. I will show you these over the next week or so.

Now I did say I haven’t done a lot of colouring! I wanted to pull out my watercolour pencils that have sat dormant for so many years. I hadn’t played with them a lot before that anyway. SO, here is the end result with them. I put together this card. I am not completely happy with the colouring BUT I like the card. The layout is based on the CAS challenges (Colour and Sketch for Clean and Simple cards). You can find the blog post Here.

Isn’t this angel sweet?? I stamped this on the Thick Whisper White Cardstock and it was then matted on Smoky Slate card. The base card is Marina Mist. The greeting and the “splodges” (from ‘Gorgeous Grunge’) are heat embossed with silver Embossing Powder. It is hard to tell though. I finished it off with a silver doily and Silver cord.

There you have it. A little play with my watercoloured pencils again.

Thanks for visiting,

A DIFFERENT FLOWER WITH THE FESTIVE FLOWER PUNCH!

September 18, 2015September 18, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a few weeks ago but only had a chance to show you now. When I received my Festive Flower Punch I had to have a play and create a different flower than the traditional one. That’s what you do right??? 🙂 I made a card up with the flower. Since making this flower I have seen some great variations on Pinterest. I have to say I do like those ones a lot so I will have to make those too. Here is my card and I will give you the details of the flower. You might remember the small flower that you could make with the wing of the 2-step bird punch?? Well this is it’s big brother 🙂

I have a chart below to show you how I created the flower so I won’t say too much about that. For each of the pieces I sponged them with ink. I have used Rich Razzleberry for the flowers and Old Olive for the stems. See the pearl accent?? I was trying to work out what to add. I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl but the silver didn’t go right so I created my own. I punched a circle from the Gold Foil Sheets using the smaller circle from the Owl Punch. I adhered a pearl to the centre and added the both with a glue dot onto a small bow from Whisper White Baker’s Twine. I really liked this addition. The greeting is from ‘Birthday Blossoms’ and I punched one corner with the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch.

Here is a chart to create your own flowers.

So this punch is very versatile. Not just for your Poinsettia flowers. I can’t wait to make some other versions.

Here is the punch if you haven’t noticed it. The punch can be found on P 31 of the catalogue and is $31.00 AUS.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a super awesome weekend and you have time to create. I have my Holiday Catalogue Launch tomorrow so I am looking forward to sharing some fun projects using these great products from the Catalogue.

STAMPIN’ UP! HOME FOR CHRISTMAS PLAYTIME!

September 12, 2015September 12, 2015 Jenny Hayward

As demonstrators we could order from the Holiday Catalogue weeks ago. When I received my preoder I didn’t know what to play with first. Do I stamp or punch or do I cut??? Such a dilemma. After I had a little play I made up a card using the Home For Christmas product suite. This was one of the first cards I made. I will be honest I am not completely happy with it. Not sure why but maybe you can help me out there. I shared it on my Facebook page a few weeks ago and realised I hadn’t shared it here. So for your viewing pleasure – or not! here is the card. 🙂

I loosely based the layout of the card on Freshly Made Sketches #142

I do love the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch I have used here. I used markers for the greeting and punched it out using the Decorative Label Punch. A little sparkle with the Silver Glimmer Paper and Rhinestones and finished off with some Real Red Pom Pom Trim and Silver Ribbon.

I am showcasing this suite in the ESAD Blog Hop TOMORROW (Sunday) so head back here at 6.30pm AEST. We are all focusing on the great products in the Holiday Catalogue. I do hope you can join us.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS!!

September 2, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Have you checked out the Holiday Catalogue yet??? What is on your wish list?? There are so many great products it is hard to choose. I have the link in the right side bar for you to check out if you haven’t already. I was playing with some of the new things they other day I made up this set of cards to show you. They are using the new ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets. I have a little trick I wanted to tell you about.

I will show you each card close up so you can see them better. The layouts were inspired by some cards I had seen on Pinterest.

I cut a circle from Cherry Cobbler card and then embossed it with the Woodland Embossing Folder. There is some lovely Vellum sheets in the Holiday Catalogue but I don’t have them as yet so I have used the Gold Fancy Foil Vellum from the Annual Catalogue. I adhered some Whisper White card on to the back of the vellum. Don’t you just love the cute Reindeer clips??? I tied some Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine onto them. I cut the words from the ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets (p34) from Gold Foil Sheets.

TIP: In this set of Thinlets there are 3 words “peace”, “merry” and “jolly”. Now I didn’t want jolly for this so when I cut the word I then carefully snipped off the “ll’s”. If you cut it off near to the “l” letters then you have a little tail. I adhered the tail of the “y” over the “o” tail. Does that make sense? Using the new Fine Tip Glue Pen (p 43) it makes it easy to adhere the letters together and also adhere the letters to the circle. You only need a very little bit let me tell you. I found that you needed to just hold the piece down for a minute to take hold.

Hope you like these cards. I’m loving playing with this new stuff. Go check the catalogue out if you haven’t already done so.

Have an awesome day 🙂

Jenny
