Christmas Cards 2023 – A Stamping Journey

A STOCKING SENDING CHEER CHRISTMAS CARD!

December 5, 2023December 5, 2023 Jenny Hayward

I have had so much fun with the Sending Cheer Bundle. It is such a great bundle of stamps and dies.

With this one I have used the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. The holly type print and the red Gingham print. They work so well with it.

And notice the stocking – when you diecut the stocking top run it through an Embossing Folder for added texture. I used one of the Basics Embossing Folders.

The Sending Cheer stamps and dies are leaving. I am a bit sad about that. Also the paper is going too. So if you want them you best get yourself together and grab them before they leave.

TRIPTYCH WITH STARS AT NIGHT STAMPS AND DIES!

November 27, 2023November 27, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Have you heard of the Triptych Technique? I have shared a card with this some months back.

A Triptych is a work of art made of 3 panels or pieces. Early known pieces date back to the Middle ages. This technique is a great one in our card project.

This was a card we created with this technique for our Stars at Night Bundle over the weekend. It works well with multiple images or a scene.

On white card stamp over the images. This card uses Boho Blue, Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate. Then cut the white panel in to 3 even pieces. For the class I had the card cut already in to 3 panels. Then place the white panels closely together and stamp.

The sentiment was diecut with the Something Fancy Dies.

We created 2 different cards with the Stars At Night Bundle too.

If you are in Australia and would love to create the cards we made you can grab the Class By Mail. Cost is $25. All pieces are diecut. You would need to substitute with stamps you have or you can order the Stars at Night Bundle in addition.

Let me know very Soon.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

SWEET SUNDAY – WISHES ALL AROUND!

November 5, 2023November 5, 2023 Jenny Hayward

It’s not just one card for this Sweet Sunday. It’s the whole bundle. The Wishes All Around Bundle.

I think this bundle is so fun with the circles of trees and snowflakes. We don’t often make cards with snowflakes here in Australia. It’s too hot and sunny for that at Christmas. But the trees are very cool!

Let’s see them.

This one is stamping the trees twice. Once in Garden Green on Soft Seafoam and again in Garden Green on Garden Green. Then layer them together and add a little of the foliage. But how quick is it with the Brushed Gold Cards and Envelopes.

This is another one with the trees. Stamped in Bubble Bath and then again in Moody Mauve. The Moody Mauve trees are snipped out and layered on to the Bubble Bath ones. Oh! And check out the background. There Bubble Bath Ink has been swiped over the card base.

Here is another card so you can see the circle of snowflakes.

This is the Wishes All Around Bundle (stamps and dies).

You can see them more in my store -> HERE.

ABUNDANT BEAUTY SNOWFLAKES WITH SENDING CHEER BUNDLE

October 27, 2023October 26, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This card is using one of the other masks in the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. While there is the set of masks to build up the Sunflower there is also the snowflake mask, the leaves and the Argyle pattern mask.

For this one I have used the snowflake mask.

The snowflakes were ink blended with Balmy Blue ink and then a touch of Night of Navy ink added on parts of the snowflake.

I used the Sending Cheer Bundle with it. It’s hard to tell but the bow on the gift is heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder for some shine. I have used the Nested Essentials Dies for the banner.

If you are wondering about the blue strip. That is from the Textured Shimmer Paper pack. It has a subtle shine. It’s a shame you can’t see it.

We made this one for one of the cards in my classes recently. If you are a Wollongong local we would love you to join us. They are lots of fun. Send me a message and I can send you the details for our upcoming classes. If you are not local you can grab the Class Kits by Mail.

This is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks if you haven’t noticed them yet.

You can find them in my store -> HERE.

I hope you get them and have a play with them. They are so fun.

STAMPIN’ UP! SENDING CHEER BUNDLE!

October 23, 2023October 23, 2023 Jenny Hayward

This one today is another project we made at my Christmas Crafternoon last month.

This card uses the Sending Cheer Bundle. Do you love that little gingerbread man?? It is cute.

The white card is embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The paper is the retired Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. It worked so well with the gingerbread.

We are getting ready for another Christmas Crafternoon in November. So if you are local watch out for that if you are local.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

MEETING A BEAR WITH A WALK IN THE FOREST!

October 3, 2023 Jenny Hayward

I have been playing with the ‘A Walk in the Forest’ Paper.

It has some great images. Some you can cut with the tree die in the Merriest Trees Dies Set. That’s always clever.

For this card I diecut some trees and fussy cut the bear. How would you be meeting a big brown bear walking in the forest? We don’t have that problem in Australia. Maybe we would come across a snake or bush turkey or kangaroo. But never a bear. This bear does look happy though if you did come across it.

It is hard to see but I have embossed the white card mat with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. The star is diecut with a star in the Merriest Trees Dies.

Something else I do love about this paper. It is the Product Giveback in the Mini Catalogue. For every pack of this paper sold Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 to Anglicare Toy’s N Tucker Christmas program. The Toys N Tucker program provides hampers and Toys to disadvantaged families at Christmas. This is a fantastic cause and close to my heart so I would love it if you supported it.

NOTE: Each country has a different organisation that Stampin’ Up! will donate to so check your local market.

This is the A Walk in the Forest Paper.

You can see more about the paper in my store -> HERE.

Now We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. (Do you know that song??…)

TRADITIONAL RED AND GREEN WITH MERRIEST TREES BUNDLE!

September 30, 2023October 3, 2023 Jenny Hayward

Are you Red and Green for Christmas?

This one is typical Red and Green and I have used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle.

That background paper is the Joy Of Christmas Paper.

The tree was stamped in Granny Apple Green and the “branches” were stamped in Shaded Spruce.

The + on the gift I ended up colouring with a Real Red marker as I wasn’t sure that I could line that up so well.

The Merriest Trees Bundle is available in the 2023 September-December Mini Catalogue and is available to order now.

SENDING GOOD TIDINGS WITH JOY TO YOU STAMP SET

September 22, 2023 Jenny Hayward

When I made this card I was in a little dilemma. Do I add a bow or not?? So your thoughts??

I added the Red and Gold Ribbon and stuck it all down and then when I finished I couldn’t get a bow to work right. It either covered up the words or the leaves and I had already added the leaves.

The words from the Joy To You stamp set were inked in Real Red and then the bottom half inked in Cherry Cobbler to give a variation in the colours.

The Joy of Christmas Paper is very traditional Christmas with the Reds and Greens. I do like it and have already used it so much.

These are both new in the September – December Mini Catalogue.

If you need any of these supplies or others and you are in Australia I would love to serve you.
