FLOWERING FOILS FAVOURITE FOR SALE-A-BRATION 2ND RELEASE!

March 3, 2020March 4, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Today is the 2nd release for Sale-A-Bration. As if you didn’t have enough choices right!

You can see all the items in the catalogue -> HERE.

Of course there are some great choices. I have to say though my favourite is the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper.

We have had similar paper in past years. These are just (if not more) as gorgeous.

There are 12 12″x 12″ white sheets with embossed designs in Rose Gold and Silver. There are 4 designs and 3 of each sheet.

You can leave them plain or colour them with a sponge/dauber or with the Stampin’ Blends.

This is one of the cards I created with the paper coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I have used the Balmy Blue and coloured the background then used the Daffodil Delight for the flower centres.

The sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set. Such lovely words. I had the vellum diecut from the Flourishes Dies left over from another project and it worked well with this.

It’s hard to tell in the photo but I have used the ornate die strip from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. You can see it better in the photo below.

These projects are created by Stampin’ Up! artists but it shows how pretty the paper is sponged.

So how do you get yourself some of this Flowering Foils paper??

It’s available free as part of Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD until the end of March.

In Australia? Head to my store now -> HERE and shop for your stamps, ink paper. When your order totals over $90 you can select this as your free item.

There are other choices too and other options for over $180 too. Don’t miss them.

Happy Shopping – and creating. 🙂

Have a great day,

Jenny

MEERKAT HELLO CARD!

March 2, 2020March 3, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Do you like The Gang’s All Meer Set? It’s a cute one. Today I have a card for you with this set teamed up with paper that you probably wouldn’t associate with the Meerkats. I have used the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.

The white card was cut with the Stitched Nested Labels Die. After stamping the cute meerkats they were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The paper was adhered to an Old Olive Card base. Before adhering the stamped piece a little strip of the Real Red Double Stitched Satin Ribbon was added behind. The sentiment from Itty Bitty Sentiments was stamped on red card and cut with the smallest die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

I think this may just work with the poppies, do you??

It’s only another month left for Sale-A-Bration for you to grab these little meerkat dudes. The Gang’s All Meer set is free with orders over $90. Be quick to grab them.

You can order online in my store now ->HERE and choose this or any of the other qualifying Sale-A-Bration items.

Have a great week,

Jenny

MEERKAT TENT CARD!

February 17, 2020February 17, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I had a special request from a friend for a Housewarming card and the people LOVE Meerkats. They have received it now so I can share this with you.

I wanted something a little different but I don’t have any “housewarming” type greetings. I thought the Well Written Dies would work ok.

I made a Tent Card with The Gang’s All Meer stamp set from Sale-A-Bration. Now I realise that this is a little tropical for the meerkats BUT I just thought it worked ok and kinda cute. So just roll with it for me. 🙂

This is the front on view.

Side on View.

I have made a few versions of the tent card over the years but I have the tutorial again for the Tent card below.

The meerkats were stamped on Whisper White card and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I fussy cut them out. TIP: Just leave a little white border when you fussy cut. It’s softer on they eyes.

When I cut and scored the Old Olive card I adhered a piece of the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper on the front panel and diecut it with the Scallop Circle from the Layering CIrcles Dies. This cut out piece was then adhered inside the card.

The Palm tree was stamped from the Timeless Tropical Stamp set. I shared this tip in a recent video. But to create the different colours on the palm tree you could colour it with your Markers But I stamped 2 trees, one in Old Olive and one in Early Espresso. Then I cut off the palm leaves of the Old Olive one and adhered it straight on top of the Early Espresso one.

The welcome was diecut from the Well Written Dies and adhered on to the front with the cute standing Meerkat. Of course finished with a Tropical Oasis Trinkets.

TENT CARD TUTORIAL

1. Cut your base card to measure 10.5cm x 29.5cm. (4 1/4″ x 11 5/8″)

2. Score on the long side at 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm, 18.5cm. (1″, 2″, 3″, 7 1/4″). Fold on the score lines.

3. Cut your window from the front using the die of your choice.

4. Add adhesive onto the small tab and adhere to the inside of your folded card at the back. (Just fold up the card first to work out the best place for your adhesive). I had the tab to attach to the back of the card so you can’t see it inside the front).

5. If you wish to add a piece of card inside for stamping as an alternative, cut a piece of Whisper White 11cm x 10.5cm. (4 1/4″ x 4 5/16″). I used a piece of white card this size for on the back of the Tent Card for writing your message on too.

Have fun creating it,

Jenny

POWER OF HOPE SWAP CARD!

February 14, 2020February 13, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I can now share you my card I created for our recent Team Shoebox Swap. I have shared the other cards recently. This card was also the card I created for a group swap I was in.

I have used the Power of Hope stamp set and the 3D Stone Embossing Folder.

The black card was embossed with the embossing folder and you can’t tell in the photo but I swiped over the Versamark inkpad over the raised embossed parts on the card and it gave a little shine.

The Petal Pink card was stamped with the tree from the Power of Hope stamp set and the “Dots” were from the Beauty Abounds set.

The lady she was stamped in Memento and coloured with the Rich Razzleberry, Petal Pink and Black Stampin’ Blends. The white card was cut with the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The sentiment was a bit bare just in white so I also cut a small piece of Gold Foil both diecut with the small rectangle from Stitched Rectangles Dies. I finished the card off with a little of the Petal Pink Metallic Edged ribbon.

Hope you like it. I have made this card quite a few times now.

This Power of Hope set is available Free as a Bundle with the Embossing Folder for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $180 AUD. I hope you be sure to get your set before the end of March. I think it’s a beautiful set and just a little different to others we have.

Have a great day,

Jenny

MORE TEAM SHOEBOX SWAPS CARDS!

February 10, 2020February 10, 2020 Jenny Hayward

I mentioned in a previous post about our Team Shoebox Swap. I thought I would share the other cards today with you. It was just a small group this time so just a few cards.

Of course I changed them up a little from the original – because I could. 🙂

This one from Silvia is a card clip. It is using the Parisian Beauty Bundle. The Rococo Rose card was cut with the Stitched Rectangles Die and then the “script” stamp was stamped several times over it. The Eiffel Tower was diecut from Gold Foil. It’s hard to tell but there is some Wink of Stella over the Rococo Rose card and some clear heart embellishments. The large noteclip had some Designer Series Paper wrapped around the clip.

This next one from Lynne was using the Painted Poppies bundle. The Blackberry Bliss card was embossed with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. I angled the embossed card and the piece of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper just to be different. The stamped poppy was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and cut with the die. Using the Aquapainter spread over the ink a little to colour the poppy.

This next one from Vanessa is using the Honey Bee Bundle. I am still not sure of this bundle but I liked making this card. The one cool thing with this bundle is the bees in the Detailed Bee Dies cuts some of the bees in the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration. So clever that Stampin’ Up! does this.

The honeycomb die was cut from the Bermuda Bay to use the small hexagons on the piece of Designer Series paper. Also a fit with the dies! I didn’t want to waste the honeycomb so I added that to my card.

The bees were coloured with the dauber and inkpads. As the bees were embossed they resist the ink so you have coloured centres. The large black bee at the top is stamped in black and diecut with the die.

I will post my card that I shared for the swap in another post coming up soon as I will give you some more details on it. Stay tuned for that.

TIP: Purchase any of these bundles. They are approximately $75, add some card and ink to reach your $90 so you can add one of the Sale-A-Bration choices. Great with the Honey Bee Bundle as you could choose the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper. Check them all out in store -> HERE.

Have a great day,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #94- MASKING WITH THE GANG’S ALL MEER!

January 29, 2020January 29, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #94 – Let’s look at these cute little meerkats in the The Gang’s All Meer set available for Sale-A-Bration. You have just got to love the sweet smiles don’t you?? 🙂

This set is great for fun birthday cards whether it’s just from you or from a whole group. They are very easy to colour with any of your colour mediums whether it is the inkpads, watercolour pencils or Stampin’ Blends. It has some other fun elements in the set with the little party hat for those meerkats or the cactus, or even a cute gecko that can join in the party.

See the stamp set in action in this video and particularly the great way of using this set with the masking technique. It’s so easy and you can have a card full of these cute critters.

Below is the card with the masked Meerkats so you can get a better view of it. Stamp as many meerkats as you like. You could use any other image you have using this same technique.

Here are some other samples Brian shared in this video so you can have a closer look.

Now you can have these cute meerkats yourself.

Choose this for your Free choice with orders over $90 AUD (or choose any other of the options) as your Free Sale-A-Bration choice. Check it out in store-> HERE.

Have a great day,

ESAD 2020 MINI CATALOGUE AND SALE-A-BRATION BLOG HOP!

January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Time for another ESAD Blog Hop. This time we are sharing projects from the new 2020 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created. You might have come from Cathy’s Blog -> HERE or starting from this blog. The full list of participants will be below.

Firstly with the Blog Hop. What is ESAD anyway??

Now for my project. It’s a very hard decision to work out what you are going to use with these Blog Hops. There are so many new and exciting products. What’s a person to do?? 🙂 In the end I chose to use the new So Sentimental Bundle because I love the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I think many people will love them. I have made a few projects with them recently but today I have this one to share with you.

I created a card and a little treat holder with the Kraft Pillow boxes.

With the card you don’t need too much with the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Add a piece of this to a Granny Apple Green card mat and add this to the Poppy Parade card base. The Granny Apple Green is not a colour that is featured in the paper but I think it gives it a little POP against the Poppy Parade colour.

The sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set was stamped on white and cut with one of the label shapes in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set. This was layered on to a piece of Granny Apple Green cut with one of the other label die shapes. It’s hard to tell but I embossed the green card with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

I tied around some Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Wait, what?? Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Where is that in the catalogue??

It’s actually the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon on p 25 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue. You can create any colour ribbon you like with the Stampin’ Blends.

Check it out below. Just run along the ribbon with the Stampin’ Blends Marker. It dries quickly and ready to use on your projects.

Now for the Treat Holder.

Assemble the Kraft Pillow Box. Then wrap a strip of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper around the Pillow Box. I wrapped around some more ribbon I had coloured around the box too.

The label for this box was using a different stamp in the So Sentimental stamp set and cut with different dies in the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The Granny Apple Green card was embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder as well.

If you haven’t noticed the So Sentimental Bundle you can find it on p 20 of the Mini Catalogue. It has the different label shapes and Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies of varying sizes. Great for layering together. Available for $56 AUD.
