ONSTAGE – BUDDY GIFTS AND SWAPS!

November 15, 2018November 15, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Did you catch the video in yesterday’s post with the swaps I received from Onstage? If not, head back to the last post. I have the still photos there too.

Today I wanted to share with you my buddy gifts and the swaps I made to share.

BUDDY GIFT PACKS

I made up little Gift Packs – or Onstage survival kits. 😉 I made up 4 of them.

These packs contained a notebook. I loved these notebooks. Two had on the front “Don’t Forget To Be Awesome” and the other two were “My Awesome Book of Brilliant Ideas”. I thought these would be great to write notes in at the Onstage sessions. In the packs there was some mini Tic Tacs, Tea Bag, Kit Kat Chocolate and of course Mini Post-It notes for the new catalogues. I will show you a close up of the tags I made.

THE TAGS

A scallop square was cut with the Layering Square Framelits and also a larger black square. On the white card I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Corner stamp set. Then stamped the small “flowery” centre shape on to Mango Melody Card and punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch. Then I diecut a flower in Mango Melody Card from the Flourish Thinlits and layered them together. Before adhering the flower to the card with Dimensionals I stamped the leaf from the Around The Corner set in Granny Apple Green. The Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon was adhered between the white scallop square card and the black card. They are simple but I loved how they turned out.

MY SWAP

I didn’t have a lot of time to make swaps but I really wanted to and I knew I wasn’t going to have a lot of time to swap on the Saturday as I was helping with registration in the morning. So I kept the card simple and only ended up making 15 of them.

This was my swap card.

I have used the Rooted in Nature Bundle. The tree and the leaf were heat embossed in Copper and diecut out. The sentiment is from Wood Words stamp set. I wanted to go for an angle look so angled the paper from the Love What You Do Specialty Paper. Underneath the paper there was a strip of the Copper Foil Paper. To finish I tied a knot using the Copper Trim.

Now since I hadn’t made many swaps I had a few doubles of cards from recent classes so thought I would add those to the swap mix. These are the group of cards. I had 2-3 of each card. These were received well too.

Thanks everyone for swapping with me. I hope you liked your card you received from me.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU CARD

Earlier I mentioned that I was helping on the Saturday. This was the special card I received from Stampin’ Up! to say Thanks. Totally unexpected. It was signed by all the staff that were there. How lovely.

This uses the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.

Thanks for visiting me. I hope you like them.

Tomorrow is another 12 Weeks of Christmas Edition so see you then.

NATURE’S POEM CARDS FOR YOU!

August 10, 2018August 9, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I have my classes on this weekend using the Nature’s Poem Suite. This has become a popular bundle for many people. I wasn’t sure about it at first but I have recently got them so I thought I would share a few cards with you that I have made.

I have shared a few cards with this bundle before. If you want to check on those be sure to click on the tag for “nature’s poem”. Here is one post -> HERE to get you started on though.

Here are a couple more cards.

For this first one I stamped some of the leaves over white card to create a background. I added a short length of the Burlap ribbon behind the oval sentiment and then added one of the diecut leaves stamped in Early Espresso. I am really not sure of this though. I think it is too heavy. What do you think?

For this one below I was trying a few different things. I liked the words separated. I really like this sentiment. I know a few people who I could use this saying for. If you notice the white background there are some embossed leaves on it. In the Nature’s Roots Framelits set there are some leaves that don’t cut but emboss your card. That’s pretty cool.

The rest of the card is fairly simple with a strip of the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, Grapefruit Grove twine and the tree stamped in Early Espresso and die cut out.

I hope you like them.

Thanks again for visiting me. I love that you stop on by. Please visit again. 🙂

Have a great day,

Jenny

TEAM SHOEBOX SWAP – DAY 3!

July 28, 2018July 28, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Some more cards today from our Team Shoebox Swap. Really we have some amazing talent in our Inky Fingers Team.

Today I will share the cards using the Rooted in Nature Bundle.

This one below is using a number of different patterns from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper. I like how the words are cut apart.

This one below is just gorgeous. A white card mat is embossed with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. I hadn’t seen this folder used before. I like it. You should see those leaves in real life. They are heat embossed in Copper on to Vellum. So nice. The other leaves are embossed with one of the leaf embossed dies in the Nature’s Roots Framelits set. The sentiment is heat embossed in copper too. This is such a striking card.

I hope you like these ones. Yes still more to come. It was a busy day at our team meeting. 🙂

WEDNESDAY’S! WOW # 27 – THE POPULAR ROOTED IN NATURE BUNDLE!

June 6, 2018June 6, 2018 Jenny Hayward

With so many wonderful new products in this catalogue I thought I would focus today for Wednesday’s WOW! on a very popular bundle. This is the Rooted In Nature bundle. Have you seen it yet? I think it is one that will rival the long lasting Lovely As A Tree stamp set.

The stamp set has a number of different trees and leaves and it also has some lovely sentiments. You get 16 stamps all up. The matching dies cut out most of the trees and leaves. In addition there are a couple of leaf dies that will emboss the leaves. Here is the bundle below.

Here are a couple of projects made by Stampin’ Up! artists using this bundle. You can see the diversity of projects with it. Not just for the masculine cards but suitable for anyone. I think this will be great for Christmas cards too. What do you reckon??

Do you want to see it in action? Check the video below. (If you receive these updates by email be sure to go directly to the blog post by clicking on the blog title above so that you will be sure to see it).
