Cardmaking Classes Illlawarra – A Stamping Journey

SPLENDID DAY SPLIT EASEL CARD!

August 23, 2022August 23, 2022 Jenny Hayward

I love making Easel Cards. I love this idea too. This is a Split Easel Card. It’s very easy.

I have used the Splendid Day Suite. It’s so pretty.

We made this card in a class recently. I don’t often share my class cards here, But I thought I would share this one with you.

This is the front view of the Split Easel.

The side view. You can see how it stands up.

Inside. You can see how the sides are split and adhered down. Decorate the card as you like.

When we made the card in class I made the section in the middle inside a little smaller. I thought it looked better than this original one and it gave more room to write.

I will share the HOW-TO soon so stay tuned for that.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! A TOUCH OF INK – FLOWER AND FIELD!

January 18, 2021January 17, 2021 Jenny Hayward

I am loving the A Touch of Ink stamp set available as a free Level 2 choice for Sale-A-Bration. (Level 2 is for orders over $180 AUD).

I have used this set a lot recently and we featured it at class on Friday. I thought I would show you one of the cards we made.

The paper is from the Flower and Field paper pack available as a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item.

The butterfly and flower was stamped in Memento Black ink and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The Daffodil Delight banner was punched with the Banner Punch. I love the added texture with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

Sale-A-Bration is much shorter this year, ending 28th February. Don’t miss out on any of the choices.

“FIRST PLAY WITH AWESOMELY ARTISTIC!”

May 11, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last week at Leadership at the South Pacific Stampin’ Up! Convention we were given this brand new set ‘Awesomely Artistic’. I love this set. There are so many lovely elements so there will be lots of ways you can use this set. I really love the dragonfly. Yesterday I had a chance to play a little.

The base is Crumb Cake. Other colours used are Rich Razzleberry and Blushing Bride. The layout was loosely based on the clean and simple sketch #192. You can see that sketch in the PDF here. (There are lots of sketches on this site that can help you out when you are stuck for ideas. Check them out sometime).

This set will be available in Wood ($49.00) or Clear ($35.00) AUS. I think it will be one to have on your wish list.

Have you ordered your catalogue from your Demonstrator yet?? If you are in Australia and don’t have a demonstrator yet then contact me to have a catalogue sent out to you. This is just one of the lovely sets coming June 2nd!!! Not long to go now.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope your day is inky 🙂

BOKEH TAGS!

February 23, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last week at my Bokeh Technique class we made these tags. I thought I would show you.

We started off with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 10.1 cm x 14.4cm) to create the sponged Bokeh effect. This was cut in half. One half they could keep as a sample of the technique with the instructions and the other half we made the tag from. That was by simply punching the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and threading some ribbon and twine through. The flower was stamped using the Flower Shop stamp set and then punched out and then another flower punched with the flower punch. I added a little flower with the Petite Petals stamps set. I added some Linen Thread loops. These flowers and loopy Linen thread was inspired by my lovely friend Sam (Thanks Sam). If you haven’t checked Sam’s blog out yet, then make sure you do. She has some amazing creations. 🙂

I made a number of these for our team swaps last week too. I think everyone is loving the Bokeh technique at the moment and if you haven’t tried it yet then you have to give it a go. There are a number of tutorials on line with a few different ways of doing them. On mine I didn’t go the spraying with reinkers, I sponged the colours and the white circles.

I realised I hadn’t shown you the card we made too. Here is the card.

Thanks for looking in today. Have a wonderful day wherever you may be.

OCCASIONS AND SALE-A-BRATION LAUNCH 2015!

February 11, 2015February 11, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last Saturday I had my Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogue Launch. It was a great time with 2 different times scheduled. I think we all had a great time. Why wouldn’t we?? We are creating and having a few laughs (always good for the soul!!). I thought I would show you the projects we did.

Firstly, this card uses the new Chalkboard cardstock and chalk inks. (p 25 of the Occasions Catalogue). The chalk inks come in 3 colours at the moment – Aquarmarine (green), Rose Coral (pink) and Yellow Citrus (yellow). This card was CASED from Pinterest. I have used the Sale-A-Bration paper ‘Best Year Ever’. The chalk inks match nicely with this paper. I used the ‘Big Day’ stamp set. Another Sale-A-Bration Free choice!

To give an idea how the Chalkboard cardstock looks I stamped the images on different card for comparison. You might get some idea from the photos but I have to say it is much better in real life. 🙂

I used the same chalk ink on each of these cards – the Rose Coral chalk ink pad. The first one on the left the image is stamped on regular Basic Black cardstock, the middle one is stamped on the chalkboard paper on the rough side. The one on the right ( I know I didn’t write on this one. I thought I could use it on a card later), is stamped on the shiny, smooth side of the Chalkboard paper. This is important. You will notice the 2 different surfaces to the card. You must stamp on the smoother side. You get a much more crisper image.

This card was CASED from Pinterest also and is using ‘Crazy About You’ stamp set. This is stamped in Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding. The greeting is in Smoky Slate and the “you” is from the ‘Hello There’ Thinlets from the Silver Foil.

Of course, we can’t forget the Goodie Bags I gave to all the guests. These were inspired by a project on Pinterest. I used regular brown lunch paper bags and decorated them with the ‘Butterfly Basics’ stamp set and the Butterfly Dies. The sentiment is from the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Simply Wonderful’. I coloured part of the “THANKS” with the blender pen and inkpads. The Designer Series Paper is from the Painted Blooms DSP. Absolutely gorgeous paper! The tags were attached with a cute little peg.

So I bet you wish you could have joined us!! If you are local you will have to make sure you are here next time 🙂 It was great fun.

If you haven’t seen the Occasions or Sale-A-Bration Catalogues yet then there is a link in the right hand column that will take you there. If you would like your own copy (and you are in Australia), then let me know and I can send one your way.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Jenny

Christmas, Classes, Stampin' Up!

DECEMBER WONDER CHRISTMAS!

November 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I was playing around with a new stamp set last week ‘December Wonder’ from the Holiday Supplement Catalogue. At first I dismissed the set because it was marked as Project Life – and well I don’t do a lot of Project Life and certainly not Christmas. (Did you think that about the set too???). Then I had another look at it and thought it is still such a great set for your cardmaking. There are some really great images. I will show you a few projects over the next few days with the set and you can see what you think.

Here are the cards I first made.

These cards were inspired by a card on Pinterest that used ‘Endless Wishes’ but I don’t have that set. (Yes really!). I stamped the small and large snowflake on the bottom of Whisper White card. Stamped the greeting from the set and then pierced holes around the card with the Paper Piercer and mat. I tied around some ribbon, added a snowflake embellishment from the Frosted Sequins Embellishments in the Holiday Catalogue and added a Rhinestone to the centre. Quick cards that you could reproduce in a hurry.

The colours I used were Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake with the Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon and then for the second one Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake with Lost Lagoon Satin Ribbon.

Here is the stamp set for you to check out if you haven’t already noticed it in the catalogue. 🙂
