CHOCOLATE EMERGENCY KIT!!

Jenny Hayward

I can’t believe that we only have 2 days left for the Autumn Mini Catalogue.  These past few months have simply flown by.  When I was going through my photos I discovered I hadn’t shown you this little treat bag.  I made these up for all my lovely guests at the Autumn Mini Launch way back in April.  (See I am dragging the chain here!)  I just have to show you these because I thought they were really cute and a fun project to make up for a friend. Of course, you would probably add a few more M&M’s!!!  This is the ‘Chocolate Survival Kit’.

This is using the ‘Eat Chocolate’ set.  I have stamped it in Chocolate Chip (what else would you stamp it in!!!).  This was punched out with the wide Oval Punch. Then it was adhered to a tag from ‘Lots of Tags’ die using the “Autumn Spice” Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I just added it all to a bag topper from Chocolate Chip Cardstock.  I discovered this verse on SplitcoastStampers and just had to add it to the back.

I think we would all be suffering these symptons all at once just so we can eat the whole bag!!!

Now don’t miss out on any of the goodies in the Autumn Mini Catalogue.  Time is running out.  If you haven’t got a local demonstrator then you can contact me.  Also, finishing on Sunday is the Ribbon Bundle Special.  This is the Ice Cream Parlour Ribbon and co-ordinating buttons that you can receive for FREE when you place an order of $100 or more.  So hurry get your order in!

Have a good weekend.  I think the sun is meant to shine all weekend here which will be a nice change 🙂

Thanks for visiting!

“CHOCOLATE AND CUPCAKES”

Jenny Hayward

Last Saturday I held my Autumn Mini Catalogue Launch.  Sorry it has taken so long to get back here to show you the projects we created.  It has been a busy week.  There are only 2 days of school left for the term and I can now breathe a sigh of relief that all the school projects are done!!! There have been some marathon efforts put in here – and a few tears!  So I can get back to some other creating!

With the new Autumn Mini Catalogue out now there are lots of great new toys to play with.  Firstly I will show you the Make and Takes we did last Saturday.  We used the ‘Eat Chocolate’  and the Scallop Square Duo Die to create a mini scallop bag.

We cut 2 of the larger scallops from the Scallop Square Duo from Rose Red.  We cut the bottom row of scallops off and adhered the pieces to a small box we created.  (Check below for the instructions).  To decorate the box we stamped the image in Rose Red onto Whisper White and it was stamped again in Chocolate Chip.  Just the chocolate was cut out and raised up with dimensionals.  The image was stamped again in Rose Red and stamped on Regal Rose.  This was punched out with the Word Window punch and raised up with dimensionals too.  The white was then matted onto Regal Rose before adhering it to the box. The handle is a strip of Rose Red card and adhered to the box using Sticky Strip or Snail.  The strip measures 1.5cmx21cm.  Some Organza ribbon is tied around the handle to finish it off.

You can see in this photo below that the box is not very wide.  (it’s a bit in shadow though sorry).  It is just big enough for a note card and small chocolate.

To create the box, cut card 9.5cm x 12.5cm.  On the 9.5cm side, score at 1.5cm and 8cm.  Turn the card, Score card and 5.5cm and 7cm.  On this side, cut the 2  centre score lines up to the scored line that runs across.  Add sticky strip or snail adhesive to the small tabs and 2 of the side tabs.  Assemble the box.  Hope that makes sense???

We also made a card with the Create a Cupcake stampset and punch.

This is a small square card.  The card base measures 21cmx10.5cm and scored at 10.5cm.  I have cut a scallop square again, this time from Regal Rose.  I created the cupcake using various elements in the stampset and with the co-ordinating punch.  These are so fun to put together.  You can create the cupcake however you like.  It is so good there is a punch to go with this set.  This makes the creating so much easier!!  I really like the font  on the sayings too.

There are lots more projects to show you but that is enough for now.  I really need to get to bed!  Stop by again soon and I will show you some more.

THE AUTUMN MINI IS HERE!!!!

Jenny Hayward

April 1st, already 1/4 of the way through the year but today also marks the start of the Stampin’ Up! Year.  Happy New Year!  How exciting!  Lots of new goals to achieve and stamping to be done.  Today is also the start of the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.  There are lots of new fun products in store. 

One stamp set I have been having fun with is the ‘Eat Chocolate’ set.  I think chocolate is close to many of our hearts – isn’t it?????  I saw this colour combination recently on my blog travels and really liked it.  I think it works well with this set.  I have used Perfect Plum (a colour I haven’t used before!), Marina Mist and Certainly Celery.

I stamped the chocolates in Chocolate Chip (what else!) and then used the markers on the chocolate cases and cut them out and raised them up with dimensionals.  The DSP is from the Subtles Paper pack and I have used the eyelet border punch along the bottom.  Some Certainly Celery Grosgrain ribbon was tied around to finish. 

I have my ‘Cupcakes and Chocolate’ Autumn Mini Catalogue launch tomorrow so I have been stamping up a storm all week.  I will show you some of those creations next week so make sure you stop by.  If you would like to receive a Mini Catalogue and check out all the fun products for yourself  then email me and I will drop one in the mail for you.

I hope you have a lovely weekend. 

Happy Stamping -and  chocolate!! 😉
