“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 🙂

3D projects, cards, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

A MASCULINE GIFT BOX AND CARD WITH ‘GUY GREETINGS’.

April 30, 2015April 27, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I showed you my Convention swaps earlier. I hope you like them?? When I was just finishing the cards off last week I realised how similar one of the cards were to a Gift Box I made recently and what a great gift set it would make. What a coincidence!

Here they are together. I have used the Guy Greetings stamp set.

I did not plan this at all but how cool! If you want to see more details of this cute faceted box then you can check my blog post HERE. It has the link to make your own box in that post too.

Maybe that will be just the idea to fill with chocolates for a masculine birthday – or maybe for Father’s Day????

Thanks for stopping by,

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

LOTUS BLOSSOM THINKING OF YOU!

February 5, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I can show you this card now. I made this last week for one of my customers who are going through a hard time at the moment. I just wanted to let her know I was thinking of her.

The layout was inspired by a card on Pinterest. I used the Free Sale-A-Bration set ‘Lotus Blossom’ that you have probably seen everywhere on the internet. This is a 3 step stamp set. I have used Lost Lagoon for the first 2 stamps in the set and then Pool Party for the 3rd stamp. The stem and greeting are stamped in Baked Brown Sugar.The greeting is from the ‘Wetlands’ set. I then cut the piece with one of the Oval Framelits. A sheet from the Moonlight paper stack was cut with the Hexagon Hive Framelit. The card base is Lost Lagoon. When it was assembled I thought it lacked something even after adding a White Baker’s Twine bow. I flagged the end of a little of the Burlap ribbon and tucked it under the oval. That just seemed to “pop” the card then.

I think she might have liked it. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by to visit me.

SALE-A-BRATION ‘BIG DAY’!

January 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I showed you one of these cards in a recent post but I thought I would show you it again and show the other card I made at the same time using one of the Free Sale-A-Bration stamp set ‘Big Day’. There are so many fantastic Free choices this year for Sale-A-Bration it is hard to choose a favourite but I think this is a fun one. There are so many ways of using it.

The card on the left was one of the cards we made at my stamp Day on the weekend. That was a fun card to colour. The “Happy Birthday” and the “Celebrate” stamp were stamped together on Whisper White and then cut with the Banners Framelits. To colour it I just used the blender pens and picked up the colour from the ink pad and coloured the lower part of the words. The “celebrate” word was stamped again on Crushed Curry, cut out and adhered over the word. The DSP on this card was another free Sale-A-Bration set ‘Best Day Ever’. I love the colours in this DSP of Crisp Canteloupe, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry (which is not a colour I have used before!!). I finished it off with a Coastal Cabana bow (Yes a Free Sale-A-Bration choice!).

The card on the right was from a sketch on Freshly Made Sketches #283. I turned the sketch when I created the card. I was pleased how quick this card came together. I stamped the “celebrate” stamp and cut it with the Circles Framelits. This was coloured the same way as the above card and the “celebrate” stamped on Crushed Curry card and cut and adhered over. The “icecream” greeting was stamped on Sahara Sand scrap. I added a button (yet another free Sale-A-Bration choice). The Coastal Cabana piece was ran through the Big Shot with the Arrows Embossing Folder.

Two quick cards which came together with little drama. Which for me is a great thing. I think these were both made in under an hour. Gotta love that! I agonise over cards way too much.

Here is the ‘Big Day’ Stamp set if you haven’t noticed it before.

Have you checked out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue yet?? There is a link in the right hand column to view it online. Don’t forget, for every $90 of product order you can choose one of these items for Free!!!! Go and check it out. You can order directly online at my store too (the link is in the right hand column). I can ship anywhere in Australia. Of course, if you have a HUGE wish list, maybe you should think about joining Stampin’ Up! (discounts every time you order!!!).
