CAROLS OF CHRISTMAS WEEK – DAY 1!

August 7, 2017August 4, 2017 Jenny Hayward

DAY 1

My first card for you uses the new Incolor Fresh Fig. When I first started creating this card I felt the Fresh Fig was a big heavy but adding it to a Thick Whisper White base it lightened it slightly.

The sentiment is layered on to a Copper Foil Sheet mat cut with one of the large Scallop Square Dies from the Layering Square Framelits. Before I adhered it to the Fresh Fig mat I wrapped around some Copper Thread around the card. It is just a soft touch. 🙂 I also added some Copper Foil behind the Fresh Fig card at the top to see the Copper through the little cut outs of the moon and stars.

A tree was cut from the Copper Foil too and raised up with Dimensionals.

STARLIGHT EMBOSS RESIST CARD!

July 28, 2017July 28, 2017 Jenny Hayward

This is the 2nd project from my Christmas in July Online event that I thought I would share with you.

This card uses the Emboss Resist Technique. Heat embossing itself is such a magical technique but add the ink to it and you get a WOW! effect – I think anyway.

Here is the card. I have used the Star of Light Stamp set and the Starlight Thinlits. I have a video below for you to check it out yourself.

Thanks for visiting and checking it out. Be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel so you get regular updates as I start venturing in to this world. I would appreciate your feedback too for this Youtube novice. 🙂

STARLIGHT CHRISTMAS HANGER!

July 25, 2017July 25, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Last night I had my Online Christmas in July class. You might have seen it advertised. I thought I would show you the projects. I won’t normally do that but I thought since I am celebrating Christmas in July this month – why not!!

In both projects I used the Star of Light stamp set and the Starlight Thinlits. This first project is a Christmas Hanger that you could maybe hang from a window or in the house somewhere, even in the tree! I have the photos and I have added a video further below. Go and check it out!

Here are a few close-ups for you to see.

Isn’t this saying beautiful.

This is the back of the sentiment. It’s good to have things on the back for when it spins around.

Just to show you how I attached the ribbon. I added some Fast Fuse Adhesive to the back of the star. Then looped over some Gold Taffeta Ribbon and stuck that down to it.

Add the Fast Fuse to the back of each star. You can loop around some Gold Thread and stick that down too.

If you would like to see this more close-up check the video out.

I think some different colour variations are in order.

I will post the other project tomorrow.

Thanks for looking,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ DREAMS BLOG HOP – CASE THE CATALOGUE!

July 20, 2017July 20, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Today I am taking part in the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where the theme is CASE THE CATALOGUE. I have to say first off I am a little excited to be a part of this Blog Hop, but I am a little daunted too. Have you seen the amazing line up in this Hop?? WOW! How exciting to be a part of it! I hope you enjoy our little hop.

You would have just done a BIG jump from the US from the lovely Debbie Henderson’s blog HERE or just starting out on my blog.

Now CASE THE CATALOGUE. Do you realise how many gorgeous projects are in this catalogue? Where do you start?

I decided since I am focusing on Christmas in July this month I will CASE one from the Christmas section. I chose the card in the top right on P 118.

This is my card.

I created the card on a Thick Whisper White base. The Designer Series Paper is from the Delightful Daisy pack. The colour in this pack is actually Old Olive but I think the Pear Pizzazz that I used goes well with the lighter colourings in the paper. I used the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and the Holly Berry Builder Punch. This is a great stamp set if you don’t like colouring. It is a 2 step one so it has the outline and the solid stamp to in-fill. Adds colour so easily. 🙂

To stamp the wreath it is easier if you draw a circle in pencil on to your card first. I traced around one of the Layering Circle Framelits and then you can stamp up your image around it. It is easy to see being in Photopolymer. Then just erase your pencil circle out. You can add the red berries in after.

The sentiment is stamped on a Pear Pizzazz card strip and then I flagged the ends. I stamped and punched out the holly and check out the large red berries. I am not sure if you can see in the photo below but I went over the berries with the Fine Tip Adhesive and left it to dry. This adds a little shine to your berries.
