IT’S A BLACK AND WHITE BOX FOR JAI #71

June 14, 2011June 14, 2011 Jenny Hayward

I haven’t done a Just Add Ink Challenge for a while, although I do check it out every week. When I saw it was a Black and White Colour Challenge I thought I would give it a go. Black and White is not the usual colours I use but I think it can look very elegant together. I thought about a few different ideas and thought about a few things I have wanted to try for a while AND I haven’t done any 3D projects in simply ages!! So this idea came to me. It took me a while to pull together today but here is my entry for the JAI challenge for this week.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I had to dust off ‘Baroque Motifs’. I haven’t used that set for a very long time. There are a lot of different elements to this box and I don’t have time to explain them all now. I just wanted to get this posted to enter in to the challenge but stop by in the next day or two and I will go through it all.

I hope you like???? 🙂

A TREAT BOX!

May 15, 2011 Jenny Hayward

I have just had THE best weekend away at our ‘Convention’ weekend. A group of us couldn’t go to the ‘real’ Stampin’ Up! convention in Melbourne this weekend, so we organised our own. We had Make and Takes, Prize Patrol, even our Night of Nights Awards Ceremony and disco. It was such a great time. Not a lot of sleep and maybe a bit too much food. But, lots of creating and laughs. I will show you some highlights and the projects over this week.

I thought I would show you my Make and Take I did. Leonie asked me to show everyone how to make this treat box. I made one at Easter time and have changed the colours for this one.

You can find these at Splitcoast Stampers here. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/treat_box/ (Sorry my links aren’t working properly at the moment. I need to look in to that!)

They are so easy to make. You can create them any size as long as you start with your base cardstock as a square. Mine measures 21cm x 21cm. I scored mine at 7cm and 14cm on one side and then turned my card 1/4 turn and scored at 7cm and 14 cm again. Each of the corner squares are scored on the diagonal. Check the tutorial if you are not sure.

This would be a good box to fill for the ‘boys’ in your life. I used Extreme Elements set which is a great one for the boys. I used Pacific Point (which I don’t use a lot but I think it looks ok in this) with Pumpkin Pie and Certainly Celery. I ran a piece of Pumpkin Pie card through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and then punched out a star for the front. The sentiments are from ‘Teeny Tiny Sentiments’.

Here is a view from the top. I just tied off the box with twine and added a tag too.

Give these a try. They are too easy!

Stop by again soon to see some more projects.

PUNCH BUNCH GIFT BOX AND CARDS!!

March 10, 2011 Jenny Hayward

I recently had my Punch Bunch Gift box class. I can now finally get around to showing you. I used the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Punch Bunch’ and created this little box big enough to fit 4 3″x3″ cards. These were a lot of fun to put together. I used Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Whisper White to create them.

This is the box with the cards in them.

I will give you instructions for the box at the end. This box was inspired by a box on our Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator website. I adjusted it to fit these little cards in. On the box I created a little window by punching out the front with the 1 3/4″ circle punch. (Do this before you assemble the box!!). I thought it was nice to have the window. No matter what card you have at the front it shows through. I had stamped over the box with the flower from ‘Bliss’ Sale-A-Bration set. For the flowers on the front I used markers to colour the flower on the ‘For You’ stamp. After stamping I cut them out. They were adhered to the front after wrapping around some narrow taffeta Old Olive ribbon. You can’t really tell but I added some bling to the flower with the 2-way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds.

Here is the box with all the cards showing. I will show you the cards close-up below.

For the cards I used the Big Shot and various punches.

Here are the instructions for this cute Window Box.

Cut card 19cmx14cm. On the 19cm side, score at 8cm and 11cm. On the 14cm side, score at 3cm and 11cm. Fold on all the score lines. Cut the small score lines on the long side up to the score line running across. (Remember to stamp your box and punch the circle before assembling). Add Sticky Strip on the side tabs and small tab and assemble.

I hope these are clear enough. Email me if you have any problems. 🙂

Have you got your Free Punch Bunch set yet, or any of the other Sale-A-Bration sets??? You only have 2 weeks left, so get to it. You can select any of the Sale-A-Bration sets with a $100 order, or have a workshop and when your sales are over $600 you can select another SAB set for FREE. See your demonstrator, or if you don’t have one you can contact me and I can have it shipped anywhere in Australia.

Have fun creating your own box and cards. Until next time, Happy Stamping!!

A CUTE BOX- AND A CARD!!

January 10, 2011January 14, 2011 Jenny Hayward

Just stopping by quickly. I wanted to show you some cute projects we did last week at our play day. I got together with some of my best stamping buddies, Andrea, Leonie and Tracey. We did some fun projects. I have to say though, I didn’t get as much done as the others. I had to leave early. They went on into the early hours!

This is one of the first projects we did. Andrea showed us her cute box she received recently from Lynda. We got to make one. Thanks Lynda for the inspiration!

EDITED TO ADD: Lynda and Andrea let me know that the little box is by Dawn Griffiths. This is her blog. Go and check out all her amazing creations.

Here is my creation:

For this I have used the flower from the Sale-A-Bration set “Bliss” directly on the cardstock. I have used Marina Mist. I have just discovered this colour. It is such a lovely colour. The scallop circle ‘For you’ is from another Sale-A-Bration set “Punch Bunch”. I used the markers direct to rubber to colour the flowers and words and punched the circle with the 1 1/4″ punch. This was layered on a circle punched from the 1 3/8″ circle in Marina Mist. I then inked up the stamp in Regal Rose and punched it out using the Scallop Circle Punch. These were all adhered together and layered in mounting tape. I added an adhesive pearl in the centre of the flower. This is such a cute little box.

I can show you a card I made that day too but I have to say I really struggled with this and I am still not that happy with it. This one was a White is White Challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenges here. We could add another colour but the project must be predominantly white. In the end this is the end result. Sometimes what you have in your head just doesn’t come out right!!

I used the Heat and Stick Powder and Dazzling Diamonds on the Baroque swirls to add some bling. It is a bit hard to see here. I added some adhesive pearls to the sentiment oval. Go and check out the entries to this challenge. There is some absolutely gorgeous designs there. I didn’t even bother adding mine!!

I have another project we did that I will show you shortly. That’s enough for one day. Enjoy the rest of your day.

NOW A CHRISTMAS BOX!

December 19, 2010December 21, 2010 Jenny Hayward

I have shown you some bags for Christmas. Here is a Christmas box I have been working on. I found the instructions here. I will add the metric measurement for this at the end of the post.

Before I assembled the box and ran the So Swirly wheel around the bottom edge. I stamped the tree from ‘Christmas Classic’ in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla Cardstock and the Merry Christmas in Real Red. I stamped the flourish from ‘Tiny Tags’ in Crumb Cake and sponged the edges. It gives it a Vintage feel.

Here is a view from the top:

The top is a scallop square cut with the Big Shot, then I ran the card through the Big Shot again with the Vintage Wallpaper Die to add the texture. I tied up some of that lovely striped Grosgrain ribbon and added tags from the ‘Tiny Tags’ set.

Here are the measurements:

TALL SCALLOP SQUARE BOX

Cut card 21cmx28cm. Score on the 21cm at 6.3cm. Score on the 28cm at 6.3cm, 12.8cm, 19cm and 25.4cm. With the long side running horizontally, cut up on each of the short score lines until they meet the score line running across. On the small tabs place your adhesive on the wrong side of 3 of the tabs. Also, place adhesive on the right side of the narrow tab on the side. Assemble your box

For the lid. Cut a scallop square with the Big Shot. Score on 2.3cm on each side. Cut up on the small tabs on 2 opposite sides. Place adhesive on these tabs and assemble.

UPDATE: The lovely Lynda asked about how to create the lid without the scallop square die. I have had a little play and come up with some dimensions for you.

Lid (without Scallop Square Die)

Cut card 12.6cm. Scallop the edge of the card. TIP: Punch opposite sides of the card first. Then go back and do the other sides. It doesn’t matter if the corners don’t match as they will tucked inside. Emboss the card with the embossing folder of your choice. I used the vintage Wallpaper Folder. Score card at 2.2cm on each side. Cut up tabs up to the score line running across. Place Sticky Strip on the tabs and assemble the lid.

You probably have your Christmas wrapping all sorted by now. So you could use this box for any occasion. But if you are like me you still haven’t got the wrapping done. That’s my children’s job this week!! They’re going to love that!!

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS BAG!

December 15, 2010 Jenny Hayward

Here is another Gift bag I have been making recently. This bag was inspired by one in our monthly Demonstrator magazine recently. I set about to recreate it. I will give you the instructions below.

I have used the Jolly Holiday DSP and then used the Delightful Decorations stamp set and the punch to decorate it. I added some Rhinestones in the middle of the ornaments. To seal the bag I punched out a scallop oval from Old Olive and an oval from Cherry Cobbler. I adhered these together and attached them to the bag. You can use a velcro dot to the front so it is easy to open and close to get the goodies out!!!

I had made another one previously to this Christmas bag using the DSP Lap of Luxury. I punched 2 butterflies, one from the DSP and another stamped from the Hostess set ‘Punch Potpourri’. These were adhered to the front and a Rhinestone added to the centre. To close this bag I punched out a piece with the small Oval punch from Pretty in Pink and used a glue dot for this one. I just changed this yesterday and added a bow with the Pretty in Pink Satin ribbon. I also added some tags with the Tiny Tags. One from the DSP and one stamped on Pretty in Pink. These were punched out and tied on with Hemp Twine. I really liked how this turned out!

You can decorate these any way you like. It is better to use DSP for them though as they bend easier than card.

Here are the instructions to create these cute bags:

Cut DSP to 28cmx14cm. Score on the 14cm side at 5cm. Turn and score on the 28cm side at 8cm, 13cm, 21cm, 26cm.

Cut on the score lines along the long side up to the 5cm score line. You can cut off the small tab at the end. Add adhesive to the bottom tabs (on the right side of the 2 small tabs and on 1 of the large tabs), and to the narrow side tab (on the wrong side). Does that make sense? Assemble the bag together. Pinch the sides in. To seal you can use a velcro dot. Decorate as desired.

These are very quick to make. So you have no excuse not to make any of these to put little treats in!

MAKE SOME CHRISTMAS BON BONS!

December 11, 2010 Jenny Hayward

I have been making some Christmas Bon Bons lately. These are so easy to make. You can whip a few up for you Christmas festivities.

I found the original instructions here. I will give you the Metric measurements below to help you out. On the one above I used the Jolly Holiday DSP. The tags are created with the set ‘Tiny Tags’. I frayed the Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon, but not sure about that effect! The next one is using the reverse side of this DSP. I tied bows around the ends from the Real Red Taffeta ribbon. I think it is missing a tag though!

BON BON MEASUREMENTS:

Cut paper 15cmx15cm. Score one side at 3.2cm, 6.5cm, 9.5cm and 12.5cm.

Turn and score the other side at 3cm and 12cm.

You can follow along with the photo instructions found in the tutorial. Just a note: I used the Crop-A-Dile to punch the holes on the score lines rather than the small square punch. AND, Don’t forget to fill it BEFORE you seal it up!!! If you have any trouble following the instructions you can drop me an email and ask.

There is still a couple of weeks left before Christmas to put a few of these together. So, get to work. I do hope things are not getting too frantic for you with all the last minute shopping and creating. I still have quite a bit to do myself and there are only 3 days of school left! I did have big plans to make a few presents this year, but I’m not sure if that is going to happen.

Pop back again soon and I will show you some more Christmas projects.

JUST ADD CHRISTMAS!

November 17, 2010November 17, 2010 Jenny Hayward

I have been very good today. I got stuck into my swaps for Sydney Regionals and finished them except putting them in the cello. bags. So, I got to play! I checked out Just Add Christmas challenge earlier and it was ‘Just Add Christmas’. You can see all the lovely creations here. Since I have been getting in Christmas mode I wanted to play along. I have been working on this card in my mind for days so it didn’t take too long to put together. Here is my card for the Just Add Christmas challenge.

The backgrouund paper is from the Newsprint DSP. I have used the Victoria lace coming in the new Summer Mini with an Antique brad. It is a bit hard to see but I have added some Adhesive Pearls to the ornaments. Here is a run-down of what I have used.

Stamps: Tree Trimmings, Christmas Classics.

Ink: Real Red, Old Olive.

Card: Real Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Newsprint DSP.

Other: Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Top Note Die, Victoria Lace, Antique Brad, Sponge, Adhesive Pearls.

OK, got to run! The Wednesday crazy afternoon begins between school pick-up, swimming lessons, cricket training, cook dinner and team meeting this evening. Be back later with some more Christmas Creations!

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND!!

October 25, 2010 Jenny Hayward

I have just had the best weekend with a few stamping buddies. While at the Stampin’ Up! convention in May this year a group of us who shared together decided that since the Incentive Trip was beyond us for this year then we should hold our own.

Leonie N. and I have been planning it for the past few months. It all came together this weekend. It was such fun!!! Each of us shared a Make and Take, we had prize patrol, lots of special gifts and our “Night of Nights” Award Dinner. I thought I would share some of our ventures and creating over the next few days.

Firstly, I can show you what I made for each of my lovely friends.

I used the Newsprint DSP with Melon Mambo and black cardstock. The black card measures 16.5cmx8.5cm. I scored it on the long side at 6.5cm. This enabled the piece to bend easily. I punched a circle in the top part with the 1 3/8″ circle punch. I cut a 1 3/8″ circle from melon mambo and then a scallop circle over this to cut it out. The label was cut with the “Lots of Tags” Die and I rubbed Champagne Shimmer Paint around the edge. I cut the letters with the alphabet die and adhered that to the tag. The small flower from the hostess set “Punch Potpourri” was stamped in Melon Mambo and punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch. I added a gold brad and raised that up off the letter with dimensionals. Here is a close up to see it.

This is what was waiting for the guests. Leonie had made up some fruit punch. Doesn’t it look exotic!!!

Here is everyone enjoying them.

Andrea gave Leonie and I these special little chocolate boxes for organising the weekend. Aren’t they gorgeous???? I’m sure they will taste yummy too, but you won’t know that, will you!
