HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH CHEVRONS!

April 22, 2014April 22, 2014 Jenny Hayward

When I made this card I wanted to show a different way of using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. This is such a versatile punch. With a strip of Whisper White card you can punch both ends of the strip and create fancy “holes” for your ribbon to thread through. I was really trying to come up with a fancy term for these little “holes” but there was nothing!!! Anyway, you get the idea.

I sponged around the tag with Summer Starfruit. The greeting is from ‘Perfectly Penned’. After threading through some Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin ribbon I layered it all on a piece of DSP from Birthday Basics and layered this on a Summer Starfruit card mat. Then it was all adhered to a Raspberry Ripple Card base. I punched out some chevrons with the Chevron Border punch from Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green.

Now these colours will be retiring very soon. I would suggest stocking up NOW on the card, ink, ink refills and ribbon. They go SO QUICKLY!! Don’t wait until the retirement list is announced in a month or 2 to order them because I wouldn’t like you to miss out.

School holidays at the moment. Although we haven’t gone away anywhere it has been a nice family time together but there has not been a lot of stamping time. I just sneak a little time here and there. I am working away at my Convention swaps which is just one month away. YAY!! You will have to wait to see these swaps though. Let me just say, why do I always choose involved cards to make as my swaps!!!

Have a great day/night wherever you are on this lovely planet 🙂

Blog Hops, cards, Stampin' Up!

ESAD HOLIDAY CATALOGUE BLOG-HOP

August 29, 2013August 29, 2013 Jenny Hayward

Today is the launch of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue and what better way to showcase the fantastic new products now available is going on a Blog Hop. Come and join me in a little cyber hopping to some see some wonderful creations from my ESAD friends. Firstly,

What is ESAD?

ESAD – stands for “Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators” and is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.

We love what we do & love to share with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors. We also share what we love in our ESAD Demonstrator community, through swaps, challenges, sharing knowledge, ideas & friendship, and we’re always there to help and support each other.

So if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to leave me a comment with your Email address and I’ll contact you with information on how to join our wonderful group.

So, let’s begin!

You may have just come from Angie’s blog or you might be starting here. Either way, enjoy your travels – and I hope you are inspired. Don’t forget to leave a comment at the end to say you have visited.

Today I want to show you one of the new stamp sets ‘Wishing You’. This is on Page 23 of the Holiday Catalogue.

When you are looking for inspiration to create your projects you can spend hours trawling the internet (pinterest perhaps???!!!!!!). Don’t forget the Catalogues for ideas. They have some fantastic simple projects for you to Copy. For this one I have CASED from page 9 of the Holiday Catalogue. I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper (page 23) and the lovely Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edged Grosgrain Ribbon (page 22). The little parcels I coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers. Being a clear- mount set I could easily see where to place them. Maybe I should have got the Stamp-A-ma-jig out BUT I was lazy!!

This next card was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers. (Another great source of inspiraton!).

For this one I have used the ‘Season of Style’ Designer Series Paper again. I have stamped the gifts and the greeting on Whisper White card and layered this on Silver Glimmer Paper for some sparkle. You have to have that, don’t you! I added a bow again using the Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon. This one is very quick to make. As long as it doesn’t take several attempts at making a half-decent bow. How do I know that? I think it took me as long to make the bow as it did to make the card.

Now the great thing with this set is it is very versatile. I like to show how you can use your Christmas sets for other occasions. You can pull this set out for Birthdays throughout the year.

This card was inspired by a card on Page 3 of the Annual Catalogue. For this I have used the ‘I Am Me’ Designer Series Paper. The gifts were coloured with Pear Pizzazz and Tangerine Tango Markers. The piece was layered under a Tangerine Tango frame cut with the Squares Collection Framelits. The greeting is from ‘Remembering your Birthday’. The card was finished off with a clip from the Essentials Hardware (page 170).

Now you can head off to the next blog on your journey. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will visit me again soon. Now you can see what fabulous creations Jenny Humphreys has made for you.

See you next time,

Jenny

SUMMER STARFRUIT MOSAIC

August 17, 2013August 17, 2013 Jenny Hayward

This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. This is using Mosaic Madness, Papillion Potpourri and the greeting is from Remembering your Birthday. The funny thing is I would never have thought to use Summer Starfruit and Marina Mist together and when I have just gone back to the original photo now I see she didn’t use those colours. I think she used Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding. (OK, it was a small picture and I was going by memory!) I quite like this colour combination I used though. I will store that away for future reference!!

Have yourself a great weekend. The weather is turning out really nice again here. I think I can handle this ‘Winter’ weather we are having at the moment as long as the wind stays away.

Stop by again soon,

WILDFLOWER MEADOW IN PISTACHIO PUDDING!!!!

July 3, 2013July 3, 2013 Jenny Hayward

That sounds an interesting title!! It conjures up strange kind of images but I am sure if you are up to date with Stampin’ Up! and the fantastic new Catalogue that has just been released you will know what I am talking about. I hope!!! Yes, the Catalogue is now live. I have been playing around with some new goodies now for a couple of weeks. That’s just one of the bonuses of being a Demonstrator. One of the products I am loving is the new set ‘Wildflower Meadow’. I love that you have a co-ordinating Embossing Folder with the stamp. You can stamp up the image and then emboss around it creating a beautiful outlined edge. I shared this card on my Facebook Demonstrator page a couple of weeks ago and realised I hadn’t shared it with you yet. Sorry about that. A bit slow here! Of course I have used one of the new In Colors, Pistachio Pudding. I love the new subtle colour range of the In Colors this year. Not that I didn’t like the past In Colors. I am so glad they have made it in to the core colours now. Anyway, enough of this. On with the card.

I have stamped and embossed the image on Pistachio Pudding, then layered this on to Whisper White and then on to a Pistachio Pudding base card. I added some Organza ribbon and adhesive Pearls. Check out the greeting label. The greeting is from ‘Pennant Parade’ and I have punched it out with the Mosaic Punch. I am sure you will be seeing a bit more of this too.

I have put the link to the new Catalogue in the Right Hand column so be sure to go and check it out online. If you would like me to send you your very own catalogue, then drop me a message and I will get one to you.

Thanks for stopping by. Come and visit me again soon with some more creations from the new Catalogue.

CATALOGUE SHOWCASE WITH WILDFLOWER MEADOW!

June 29, 2013June 29, 2013 Jenny Hayward

Today I held my Catalogue Showcase and I just had to stop by and show you what we made. It was a fun time and I was so grateful that so many came out despite the constant rain we have had for a week now!!

There are so many gorgeous new products but I had to use the set ‘Wildflower Meadow’. It is a beautiful stamp and to have a matching Embossing Folder is fantastic! Of course we used the new In Colors too. Here is the card. It is very simple but having the embossing just adds that little texture to it with very little effort. It is a bit hard to tell in the photo though. I have used Crisp Cantaloupe here but everyone could choose the colour they liked to. The greeting is from ‘Sketched Birthday’ and stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. Don’t you just love the names!! I have cut it out with the Itty Bitty Banners die and layered on a Baked Brown Sugar piece underneath. A little linen thread bow finished it off.

For everyone that came I covered little notebooks. They can use them for their wishlists perhaps??? Or anything really!

I had 2 different designs. They were all covered with card that had been run through with the Mosaic Embossing Folder. One design had a strip of DSP. I then punched a 1 1/4″ scallop circle and layered a butterfly with the Elegant Butterfly punched with matching DSP and then a Bitty Butterfly punched with coordinating card. Some Rhinestones finished them off. The other one I simply cut a dress from the Dress Up die in DSP and then dressed it up with a punched flower and pearls. I think everyone liked them.

I have made some other cards using the ‘Wildflower Meadow’ stamp that I will show you soon.

I hope you are dry where you are? I am looking forward to some sunshine to dry everything out.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

SPONGED ‘BY THE TIDE’

June 21, 2013June 21, 2013 Jenny Hayward

At our team meeting on Wednesday night Sarah showed us how to create this card using ‘By The Tide’. As usual I didn’t finish it then but managed to finish it today. (Fancy that not only do I finish I card from a team meeting BUT I post it the day I finished!!!). The base card is Midnight Muse and it is all stamped on Marina Mist card. The coral is stamped in versamark and embossed with white Embossing Powder. The “sand” edges are torn strips of Crumb Cake and sponged over with Soft Suede. I added a little extra sponging around the edge of the card with Midnight Muse and added a couple of seahorses in the background stamped with Marina Mist. The fish are stamped in Stazon on Whisper White card and coloured with a blender pen and inkpads. I added the tag from the set too punched out with the 1″ circle punch and some burlap style trim.

You did good Sarah 😉

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny
