“CARDS FOR CANCER PROJECTS”

Jenny Hayward

Now I can show you the projects that we made at my ‘Cards For Cancer’ Event held a few weeks ago.  We made 3 cards.  I chose the colours of these cards to represent some of the colour ribbons that symbolise various cancers.  If you do a search of Cancer ribbon colours it is amazing how many colours represent so many cancers.

Firstly,  the pink.  We all are familiar with the pink in representing Breast Cancer.  For this I used the ‘Reason to Smile’ set that was on promotion last month.  It’s a shame this set is not around longer.

This card was inspired by one I saw on my blog travels using ‘Field Flowers’.  I liked the layout of the card.  For this card we stamped the “Happy Birthday” from ‘Curly Cute’ in black and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder.   We added a white butterfly cut with the ‘Beautiful Wings’ Sizzlit die.  The solid flower from ‘Reason to Smile’ was stamped in Pretty in pink and the outline stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

The next card was a lilac colour representing All Cancers.  I used Wisteria Wonder.

The card was a Whisper White base with a Wisteria Wonder mat and the White for the top layer.  The doily stamp from ‘Delicate Doilies’ was stamped down the side in Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Pretty in Pink.  The greeting is from ‘Happiest Birthday Wishes’.  We just added some bling in the centre of the Lucky Limeade Doily.  This is a very simple card to reproduce.  It was CASED from Michelle here.  I couldn’t find the actual post with this card though but she has some great cards, so check it out.

The 3rd card had to be one for the boys.  This was light blue representing Prostate Cancer.  I used Marina Mist and the great set for the boys ‘Need For Speed’ and ‘Extreme Elements’.

I used the Marina Mist Marker to colour the boat.  The splodge was inked in Marina Mist and the edges sponged with Night Of Navy.  This cards was CASED from Sherri Freese on Stampin’ Connection, our demonstrator forum.

So I hope you like the projects we made.  I think everyone who came did.  It was a great day and for a Great cause.

Thanks for stopping by,

“TAKE-OUT BOX TUTORIAL”

Jenny Hayward

Last post I showed you a Take-Out Box I had created.  I have now put together a tutorial for you.  This is created with the Petal Cone Die on the Big Shot.   I hope it is clear enough for you.

TAKE-OUT BOX

1. Cut 2 Petal Cone Die pieces.  You would need to do these one at a time so it doesn’t cut the score line rather than score it.

2.  Place ONE of the pieces in your cutter.  Place the score line at the circle end at the 7.5cm (3″) mark.  The score line must run Vertical in the cutter.  (This is really important).  Have the point of the tab resting against the grid at the top.  Check the photo for correct placement.  I hope this is clear enough.  Once in position cut the card piece.  Do this with both pieces.

3.  Move the piece along the cutter to the 5cm (2″) mark.  Have the score line running vertical again at this mark.  Have the point of the tab running up against the grid on the cutter.  See the photo again for placement.  Now score the card piece.  I use my bone folder some people have the scoring blade on the cutter.

4. Now you have your pieces cut.  Cut up the score line at the bottom to the score line and also cut off the small rectangle at the bottom of the side tab.  (Does that make sense??).  Now your pieces are ready.  Place Sticky Strip along one tab at the side and attach the 2 pieces to have one long length.  (Sorry missed a photo of this step). Stamp your pieces at this point before assembling.

5.  Assemble your box together now.  Add Sticky Strip to the other tab and adhere the box together.  On the bottom of the box fold in 2 opposite tabs.  Then place Sticky Strip to the very top edge of one of the other tabs and adhere these 2 tabs together.

6.  To fold up the top I interlocked each of the curved edges like this shown in the photo.  If you want to add a wire handle like the sample I did in the previous post then you can punch two holes in either side of the box with the Crop-A-Dile.  Then I curved a piece of wire and pushed it through. This is optional to add the wire.

7.  Now you can dress it up how you like.  On this version I added some Very Vanilla Satin ribbon and a tag using the Triple Layer Doily Punch.

The ideas are endless as to how you can create your box, let alone all the goodies you can fill in it. 🙂

I hope you enjoy creating your own.  Thanks for looking.

DOILY BOX!

Jenny Hayward

I have been wanting to make these little Take-Out boxes as they call them for such a long time.  I just haven’t had a chance to.  Then last month at our Team Meeting Ness showed us how they were done.  Well, I didn’t actually get around to making mine then – perhaps a little too much chatting was being done!!!!  Anyway, I managed to make mine the next day.  It’s just taken me this long until I have had a chance to show you.

This was cut with the Petal Cone Die.  I was going to explain how to do it but it was getting a bit complicated.  I will try and make another one soon and show you some step-by step photos.  Would you like that????

Before I assembled the box I stamped it with the ‘Delicate Doilies’ stamp set with Whisper White and Pretty in Pink. I added some wire (just the sort you might use for beading).  Then I added the banner.  It is a bit hard to tell but I sponged the edges in Pretty in Pink and stamped over it with the small doily from the ‘Delicate Doilies’ set.  The ‘Thanks’ is from the set ‘Kindness Matters’.  I punched out a doily with the Doily Triple Layer Punch and added a Rhinestone to the centre.  Then it was a matter of tying around some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and some White Organza.  These would be great to fill with some chocolates.  Maybe an idea for Easter coming up very quickly????

Have a great weekend.  I do hope it is a dry one this weekend.  I think we are all getting a little water-logged around here!

RAZZLEBERRY DOILY BOX!!

Jenny Hayward

You might remember a rectangular black and white box I showed you a little while ago.  (I will give you this link below if you missed it).  Recently  we did one like this box in Razzleberry for a workshop.  Of course, I used the brand new stamp set ‘Delicate Doilies’.

For this box we stamped the doily in Razzleberry over the box.  The pink strip was run through the Big Shot using the Perfect Dots Embossing Folder.  It’s a long strip, so you run it through once and then turn it around and run the other end through.  We punched 2 flowers out in Pretty in Pink with the Fancy Flower Punch.  These were scrunched several time and distressed.  Then we ran the Pretty in Pink ink pad to pick up the colour on the creases.  These were adhered together and added to the top of the box with leaves from the 2 way Bird Punch.  The doily was stamped again on scrap white card and the centre punched out with the 3/4″ circle punch.  This was adhered to the centre of the flower with dimensionals and then Dazzling Diamonds Glitter was added using 2 way glue pen to add the ‘bling’.  Here is a close-up.

The instructions for making the box and to see the black and white box I created can be found here.

I hope to be back again soon with some more creating.  Maybe I will show you some Christmas creations!

See you soon,

A DOILY SWAP!!

Jenny Hayward

Last Saturday was the Stampin’ Up! Sydney Regionals.  This is a great day meeting up with other demonstrators, seeing some fantastic new techniques and checking out some new products.  Part of the fun of these events is the swapping.  I can now show you my swap  card I created.

This is using the emboss resist technique (I have explained this below).  I was inspired by a similar card by Rhonda Wells I saw in my blog travels.  I found her card shown on another blog (which I don’t remember where now and I couldn’t find a blog for Rhonda).  Her card had a white base under the coloured card and coordinating ribbon.  I used the new Dotted Ribbon punch instead.  I was going to put it on the white base card but I liked it without it.   I did various colours as shown below.  Sorry the photo is not very bright.  It was 10pm the night before Regionals.  I had only just finished them!

Here are the others close up.

Rich Razzleberry and Regal Rose.

More Mustard and Lucky Limeade.

So which colour do you like best???  I liked the Wisteria Wonder myself but I was quite impressed how well the More Mustard turned out and that was quite popular.

To create the card:

Stamp the large doily in Versamark on Whisper White Card.  Clear emboss this.  Stamp the small doily in Wisteria Wonder (or colour of your choice) just to the right side of the embossed doily.  Sponge over ink on the large doily.  Wipe over with a tissue to polish it off.  (The colour really lifts in doing this).  Add your greeting (for this card I used a greeting from ‘Just Believe’) and adhere the white card to the card mat in a co-ordinating colour.  Add a strip of card down the left hand side which has been punched with the dotted ribbon punch.  Add an adhesive rhinestone to finish it off.  It is a very simple card and does look better in real life!!!

I received some great swaps in return so I wlll show you these next time, so make sure you stop by again soon.

Until next time,

Happy Stamping!

A POOL PARTY DOILY!

Jenny Hayward

This was a quick card I made last week using the “Delicate Doilies” stamp set.  I’m really loving this set.  It is so versatile.  You can create really elegant cards or really bright, funky cards. This set is a lot of fun to use.  For this card I used one of the new In Colors – Pool Party.  It is a beautiful soft green colour.

I stamped the large doily in the centre of the Card base with black Staz On.  I adhered a strip of Basic Black card across the centre.  A smaller doily was stamped on whisper white card in Black Staz On and then punched out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch.  A circle was punched out of Black with the 1 3/8″ circle and the two were adhered together and mounted with dimensionals over the black strip.  A large self Adhesive pearl was added to the centre.  The greeting from Sincere Salutations is stamped in black Staz On near the bottom of the card.  To finish, I rounded the right-hand top and bottom corners of the card.  This card really didn’t take long at all to put together. The inspiration for this card was from a card I saw on SCS.

Thanks for stopping by.  I have 30 unfinished swap cards sitting here and I’m really hoping my order comes in tomorrow so I can finish them for Saturday.  Otherwise, I might have to quickly modify some things!!!!!!!!

A QUICK DELICATE DOILIES CARD!!

Jenny Hayward

Just stopping by quickly.  Last Saturday was my Catalogue launch and Sale.  It was a great day.  I have been meaning to get here since but life has been a little busy.  I just wanted to show you the card we did as a Make and Take.  I used the beautiful new set, Delicate Doilies.  I’m really loving this set.  I have used it quite a bit now already and it is fast becoming a favourite.  There are so many techniques you can use with it.  This card was a very quick card, but shows just how lovely even a quick card can turn out.  Here is the card we made.

This card was inspired by a card I saw on SCS by Sandie Murphy.  I changed the colours around and the greeting.  I have used 2 new In Colors here, the Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder.  I alse added Regal Rose.  I like how they work together.  This was layered on Lucky Limeade card and a Wisteria Wonder base.  The greeting is from Party This Way and stamped in Wisteria Wonder and then punched out with the Word Window Punch and then Wisteria Wonder punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  I’m sure by adding a few Rhinestones to this it will “Bling” it up a bit too!!!!!

I hope you like??  Thanks for stopping by.  Have to fly.  I have just started my swaps for our Sydney Regionals (which by the way is using this set, so stay tuned!), so I have to keep going.

Stop by again soon,
