‘HEY VALENTINE FISHIES’

May 14, 2015 Jenny Hayward

The excitement is building for the new catalogue to start. Not long now folks! But we still have an Occasions Catalogue AND the current catalogue to see and I still have some projects that I haven’t shown you yet. So let me show you these cute little fishy cards.

These are from the set ‘Hey Valentine’. I stamped these some time ago and coloured them with the Blendabilities. Yes that’s how long they have been sitting unfinished on my desk. I wasn’t sure how to put them together. Recently I pulled them out again and made the cards.

This card was loosely based on the Clean and Simple sketch #283. You can see that here. The sentiment is from ‘From the Herd’ and the banners are from ‘Perfect Pennants.

On this card I used ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ for the dots in the background.

This set is not just for your Valentine’s cards. Otherwise you would only use this set once a year, but where is the value in that!!! These images are just so cute for any time of the year for the young kiddies. I cut the greetings off most of the stamps in the set to make them more versatile or you could mask the greeting if you didn’t want to cut them off.

You can see another card I made with this set Here.

I have to show you this cute set.

Now you only have a couple of weeks to buy this set (June 2nd) so don’t delay. It is $42.95 Wood or $30.95 Clear mount. You can message me to order OR order Online HERE.

I am waiting (im)patiently for my preorder to arrive. Hopefully today, fingers crossed. Hope you have a Happy Day 🙂

HAPPY 21ST WITH CELEBRATE TODAY!!

April 25, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Yesterday was my niece’s 21st Birthday. I can now show you her card since it is safely delivered. The pressure was on to do something different – and spectacular. I came across this Pop Out Swing card by Julie Davison. You can see that card HERE and the instructions are there too for you to make your own.

Here is my card using ‘Celebrate Today’ and the Balloon framelits.

It took a little bit until I was happy enough with the swing and I think it is a card that you personally give to someone to show them how it works rather than sending it them in the mail.

Here is the front of the card. The greeting was cut using the ‘Project Life – Cards and Labels’ die. A little glimmer always goes down well on a card too. 🙂 I cut the square from the centre of the front of the card using the Squares Framelits.

You can’t tell by the photo but I heat embossed the 21st with silver embossing powder. It gave it a nice shine. The 21st is from the set ‘Memorable Moments’ (soon to be retiring – have you got that set yet???).

I think it was well-received. Happy 21st Megan. x

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend,

Jenny

SHELTERING TREE!!

April 9, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I have had a little time this week to play with this set ‘Sheltering Tree’. I have seen so many great cards with it that it was time that I joined in!

There are some cute little images in this set and it is fun to put together. This first one was inspired from these cards Here. I made this card a standard size though. This is using Strawberry Slush and Pistachio pudding inks and the card mat is Baked Brown Sugar. (I only have a few weeks left to indulge in these colours so I think I will be trying to make the most of them!!).

This next card was a fun one to make. I CASED this card off a friend but for my card I added the Delicate Designs Folder along the bottom edge giving it a little texture. I stamped the little flower stems and flower heads. These line up together so well. The flower heads were stamped alternately in Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie.

I think you just have to get this set. It is such fun and there are so many different ways to use them. I will have some more play soon BUT there is less than 3 weeks to our Stampin’ Up! South Pacific Convention AND I have still yet to start swaps. I hope to over the weekend but then I have been saying that all week!!! So stay tuned on that venture 🙂

THE END OF SALE-A-BRATION 2015!

March 31, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I can’t believe how quickly the past few months have gone with Sale-A-Bration. There has been so many great products that are going to be sadly missed. What has been your favourite??? I have already mentioned a few of my favourites with ‘Lotus Blossom’ and ‘Big Day’. Then we had some fantastic new additions. Sadly not much time to play with them but the papers were gorgeous.

Here are some projects to share with you courtesy of Stampin’ Up! I don’t know who the original creators are so I do apologise but these showcase some of the gorgeous products we have enjoyed during Sale-A-Bration.

‘You Brighten My Day’ stamp. We do always have something to be thankful for and today I am thankful for my wonderful customers and my team for a great Sale-A-Bration.

Great gift bag with ‘Big Day’.

The lovely ‘Lotus Blossom’.

The fantastic ‘Irresistibly Yours’ Designer Series Paper. This looks stunning in gold!

So have you got your free Sale-A-Bration products yet?? You only have hours to go, so make sure you get them in to your Demonstrator. I will be adding my last orders in a few hours time so be quick!! I can ship anywhere in Australia.

Tomorrow is another day with a great new special and we can look at the Occasions Catalogue which has been a little neglected lately.

Thanks for visiting,

Jenny

COLOURING SHEER PERFECTION VELLUM!

March 23, 2015 Jenny Hayward

You have probably seen one of the new release product choices for Sale-A-Bration – the Sheer Perfection Vellum. This is so gorgeous. I am going to focus a little on this product this week. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is.

It is 24 sheets of patterned vellum paper. You receive 2 of each design. There are 12 designs all up and the paper measures 15.2cm x 15.2cm (6″x6″) sheet. Have I said how gorgeous it is already??? It truly is.

You can leave this vellum as it is and layer it on your cards OR you can layer it over another colour cardstock for the colour to show through OR colour it with your Markers.

To show you how easy it is to colour this vellum, Stampin’ Up! have put together a very quick video of 2 cards that are a cinch!

Here is the video.

You can receive a pack of these papers as your Free Sale-A-Bration gift with your $90 order. Now there is only 1 WEEK LEFT OF SALE-A-BRATION so don’t delay. I will show you some more cards using this paper later in the week. Until then, I hope you find some creating time for yourself. 🙂

FACETED BOX FOR THE MENFOLK!!

March 6, 2015March 6, 2015 Jenny Hayward

A few weeks ago I saw a cute Faceted box on a Facebook group I am on. Of course, one must have a go at one of these! I thought I would show you my version. Then I will show you where to go to make your own.

I thought for this it would be good to make a male version.

I have used Night of Navy and Crumb Cake cardstock and used a new stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue ‘Guy Greetings’. This is a good one to tuck some chocolates in for the males in your family. They are always the ones that are hard to make for aren’t they!

What do you think?? I thought at first it would be really hard to make with all those angled sides, but it was really easy once you got the scoring and cutting right.

Do you want to make your own?? My lovely friend Sam created this box {waving HI SAM] 🙂 Here is the You tube link for you to make it. Really it is not hard so don’t be scared off by all those angled sides.

Now the funny thing after Sam posted this tutorial things went a little crazy and little Faceted boxes were streaming onto our group page. So fun to see all the versions. You can check them out on Sam’s page. She posted them to show how crazy things were. HERE THEY ARE!

So now go and check the Youtube video out and make your own version. Why not send me a photo of your version and I can share it with Sam. 🙂

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

MORE BLACKBERRY BLISS + CRAZY ABOUT YOU!

January 30, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I shared some cards in the last post made with Blackberry Bliss and Crazy About You. I decided to create some more the other day while I still had everything out.

This first one was CASED from Pinterest by Melissa Davies. I love the simple one layer nature of it. (Apologies for the poor lighting. The weather has been rainy and overcast most of this week).

The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. See the flower?? I have stamped the flower 3 times and layered them. The first flower was punched with the Medallion Flower Punch. The 2nd and 3rd ones I cut the flowers down smaller following the lines of the flowers. One smaller than the next. I added a Baker’s Twine bow to the centre with glue dots.

The second card was CASED from Pinterest also but I don’t know who the original creator was I am sorry. The card base is Pear Pizzazz and has a Blackberry Bliss mat. The flowers were stamped twice directly on the Whisper White card with Pear Pizzazz leaves. I stamped another flower on scrap white card and punched this out and raised this one up with the mounting tape. Just a tip for stamping the leaves particularly the one under the raised flower. I placed the flower on the card and I could then see the best position for the leaves. Another white twine bow was added to the centre. I added a little butterfly punched from Blackberry Bliss using the Itty Bitty Butterfly punch. A little bling is always nice to finish the card off!

Thanks for stopping by again. I do appreciate your visits. Please say Hi. It’s nice to know I am not just putting these up here for myself. Hey! I have already seen them 😉

Stop by again soon,
