ANOTHER GREAT YEAR!

February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I made a card a few weeks ago to get ready for my Card Buffet. I wasn’t happy with the finished card but with the encouragement of my lovely blog friend Patti, I touched it up a bit. Here is the stepped-up version for you Patti. 🙂

I stamped the swirly Happy Birthday from ‘Another Great Year’ onto Whisper White card and adhered it to a Whisper White card base. I also stamped this onto Tempting Turquoise card and cut the banners off and adhered them over the banners on the white card. It was a simple white on white card. I have seen a few stampers create white on white cards and they always look so classy and crisp. I love the look but can never get it to work right. It looked a bit plain. What to do??? If I ripped it apart and mount it on a coloured card base it was only going to get all scrunched up. So I stamped the little Macarons from the stamp set. I coloured the centres of them with the Markers and then used the aquapainter to spread the ink out. This was a really risky move. If I stuff up the stamping or colouring, then whole card is ruined. But, what did I really have to lose!!! I added a few Adhesive Rhinestones for dazzle. I was pleased with the end result. What do you think???

I love this set ‘Another Great Year’. It is such a bargain at $41.95 Woodmount or $33.95 Clear mount. I think you need this set in your collection. You can buy this directly at my Online store here or contact me to purchase it.

Thanks for stopping by,

LET’S CATCH UP – THINLETS AND AN ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD!

November 1, 2013November 1, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I am a little behind with my blogging lately. Life is busy and with Josh studying on the computer a lot at the moment with the HSC I have had little access to the computer. BUT I am here now. Just squeezing in a little time while he is still in bed!

By now you would have known about the wonderful new products released just this past week. I thought I would show you what I have been doing with them.

Firstly, have you seen the new Thinlets Card dies??? These make fun, interactive cards in no time. Check them out.

These come in the Labels shape or the circle and come with lots of other fun bits to add to your cards. They are $55.95. I had a chance to play with Leonie’s circle thinlets the other day as I am still waiting on mine to arrive. (Thank you Leonie). Here is a fun, birthday card to create.

I have used the set ‘Sketched Birthday’ and the paper is from ‘Birthday Basics’. This is really a great pack of paper. I think it gets lost in the catalogue. Leonie kindly gave me a piece. (Thanks again Leonie!!!). You are a star 🙂

I think it was the 1 3/4″ circle punch I used to punch the circle in Summer Starfruit card and the Whisper White scallop circle is the 1 3/4″ scallop circle. I added a little bling to this too.

Now on to the Envelope Punch Board. I have been having so much fun with this new little gadget. You MUST have one of these. Not only does it cut up to 66 different size envelopes BUT there are so many other fun boxes and projects you can do with it PLUS it has a corner rounder punch on it if you need one for any of your projects.

Here are some little treat pouches I have been making with them.

Made with the ‘Sweater Weather DSP’ and ‘Label Love’ stamp set. I added a little Burlap Ribbon. Add a little treat and this might be a good one for the men in your life???

How about a Christmas one with the ‘Season of Style’ DSP.

The label is from ‘Chalk Talk’ and stamped in Gumball Green. The ornament is one from the ‘Best of Christmas’ sets and stamped in Cherry Cobbler. You could add ribbon and hang these in the Christmas tree with a special Christmas treat. These are the right size to hold a Gift card. If you want to make one you can use the Gift card size shown on the Envelope Punch Board. The original idea came from Angie over at Chic N Scratch here.

Here is a little sneak of another project I created using the Envelope Punch Board. If you are on my Facebook Business page you would have already seen it. (BTW: You can click on the link in the right hand column and ‘LIKE’ my page to see my projects I show there). I will show you the rest of this project in the new few days.
