OCCASIONS AND SALE-A-BRATION SAMPLER!

February 10, 2017February 10, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Last post I shared some of the creative fun from my Catalogue Reviews held last weekend. I forgot to share one more project. So I guess this gets it’s own little post.

With all the busyness leading up to last weekend with creating I was starting to run out of time. So I decided to use this frame I had sitting around for a while and make little samplers of some of the products. It is only simple but was a good way of showing them. Here it is for you to see.

I included a sample of some of the papers and the dies and then embellished them. It worked well I think??? The pieces are adhered in each box with glue dots so I can easily remove them and use them on cards. Then I can replace them with products from later catalogues. It’s a simple way of showing off some of the products.

What do you think??

Thanks for visiting. I have lots of samples to share that I made for my launch so I will get to share those soon.

For those on the East Coast of Australia, keep cool. The weather is heat wave conditions at the moment. I have lost count of how many days in a row it has been now. It’s a bit hard to be creative in this heat I will say.

CATALOGUE REVIEW UPDATE!

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Finally I can share some of the fun from my Catalogue Review last weekend for the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogues. I had a session on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Lots of laughs and creativity was involved I can assure you. 🙂

Firstly, I always like to make little gift bags up for my lovely guests and spoil them with some “bits” from the new catalogue. (Also a chocolate treat is a must in the bags!). These are the little bags this time.

These are using the Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bags in the Annual Catalogue. You know I did mean to emboss these bags BUT …. Well that slipped my mind until afterwards. I used a strip of the gorgeous Falling In Love DSP and flagged the end of the piece. From a square of the Sweet Sugarplum cardstock I cut the larger flower from the Stylish Stems Framelits and then layered it on some Whisper White cardstock. I thought the centre was a bit plain so I coloured it with the Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil and lightly brushed it over with the Aquapainter. This lightened the colour a little so it matched with the Kraft bags. I went over it with the Clear Wink of Stella pen for sparkle, although you can’t see that in the photo sadly.

The sentiment is from the Dragonfly Dreams set which I had coloured the “thanks” with the black marker before stamping it. Then punched it out with the Duo Banner Punch.

These are the cards we made. The first one using Dragonfly Dreams Bundle and the Falling Petals Embossing Folder. I had Cased this off Pinterest changing the Embossing Folder and adding the touch of the Paper Doily behind it.

The second card was Cased off Pinterest too using the Sale-A-Bration sets Avant Garden and Delicate Details. I LOVE both these sets! Sadly I lost my little stamens from the Avant Garden set so we had to add a little dot in the centre of the flowers. Some were very clever and drew stamens in with the Smoky Slate marker.

I always forget to take a photo of the groups as it gets pretty busy. I snapped one just as we were finishing up at the Saturday session. Some people had already started to leave. (sorry!) 🙂 There was lots of creative mess happening.

You might have seen the card tin in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue? I have dressed this one up. Everyone who has a party in the next month or 2 with me goes in the draw to win one.

Maybe I could just give some extras away too. Mmm? If you want a party or your own private stamping event, let me know. I only have a few dates available so you better be quick.

There you have it. We had a product playground too for everyone to test out the pencils and a few other new products. That’s always good to test those things out.

Thanks for visiting me. Visit again soon,

DELICATE DETAILS AND A DRAGONFLY!

February 1, 2017February 1, 2017 Jenny Hayward

The last few days I have been busy getting ready for my Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Review this weekend. Lots of creating happening – even in the heat! I will get to share some of them shortly but I really wanted to share this one first. I was happy with the result.

I have used the Delicate Details stamp set. A free choice for Sale-A-Bration this year when you order over $90! This was my first pick for Sale-A-Bration but I have only just managed to ink it up.

I used one of the stamps to create a lacy effect by stamping in Memento ink onto Whisper White card. I lined each one up by eye. I have to say that was a little nerve racking! You could use a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (SAMJ) or similar tool. I always forget to pull my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig out. (or lazy!).

Once I stamped them – and breathed a sigh of relief – I then inked up the card. I haven’t got the sponge rollers yet so I used the brayer which is now retired. Funny that, my brayer is in the same box as my SAMJ. 🙂 I used Mint Macaron ink to add the colour gradually going from dark to light.

TO ASSEMBLE THE CARD:

A dragonfly was cut from the Copper Foil Sheet. It looks a bit more gold in the photo. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder on to a strip of Whisper White. I cut a banner end with scissors. It needed a little something underneath so I cut a thinner strip from the Copper Foil and cut the end of that too.

The inked piece was added to a Mint Macaron card base. Before I added the Dragonfly I twirled around some Copper Thread and added some Pearls to finish. The sentiment was raised up with Dimensionals.

You can check out the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle HERE at my store. It is $81.25 AUS. Maybe grab an inkpad or some cardstock to take you over $90 and you can grab the gorgeous Delicate Details set from Sale-A-Bration FREE (or grab one of the other great Free products). Check out the Sale-A-Bration catalogue by clicking on the link in the right hand side bar.

Have a lovely day/night. It is a little cooler here today and rainy which is nice so I am off to my stamp room again. 🙂

COLOURING WITH INSIDE THE LINES DSP!

January 25, 2017January 25, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Just a quick post for you today. I have only just got back from holidays today. I might share some of my crazy adventures with you here sometime but for now a quick card.

I realised I hadn’t shared some projects from Onstage from November. You might have seen a few ideas around different blogs. Today is a quick card using the ‘Inside the Lines’ DSP. Colouring for Adults has taken the world by storm I think. While I love a little colouring I haven’t really caught on with this phase (perhaps I would rather stamp!). Stampin’ Up! have now some Designer Series Paper to colour. I have seen some great ideas recently where you don’t need to colour too much so I might have to try some of these ideas out sometime.

Here is a card you can make in no time and it only requires just a little colouring. Of course with the gorgeous new Watercolor Pencils.

Using a section of the paper you can cut the piece into sections. Here I have cut it in 3 sections. Colour one piece with the pencils and assemble them together on your card front. The sentiments are from Dragonfly Dreams. On the “Thanks” just that word is coloured with black marker and stamped on a strip of white card. The background stamping using another sentiment is inked in the Tangerine Tango and stamped over the card. Ink once and stamp it on the card then stamp again elsewhere to get a lighter stamping. You can stamp a third time too before inking. Repeat this several times over the card.

Finish the card with some Black Twine and some Burlap Ribbon. 🙂 You can receive this paper as one of your Free choices for Sale-A-Bration. There are some other wonderful choices too. Have you checked the catalogue out yet? You can click on the link in the right hand column.

For every $90 you can grab your Free choice. Have you made your shopping list yet? You can then stop by my store (link in the side column) and shop up big. Don’t forget to grab your Free Sale-A-Bration set too.

DAPPER AVANT GARDEN!

January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 Jenny Hayward

This card is one I created for a Private Card class last week using the Sale-A-Bration set Avant Garden. This card was adapted from a couple of cards I have seen around. You might have noticed a similar design on page 4 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue??

Colours used are Dapper Denim, Marina Mist and Mint Macaron. The Smoky Slate base is at a bit more of an angle than it appears in the photo. I added some Silver Ribbon to the card.

I have to tell you a funny story. When I went to the class I forgot to take the Marina Mist inkpad. Minor panic! Never mind I got them stamping off the Dapper Denim to create a lighter effect. It turned out OK. 🙂

The Avant Garden is such a versatile stamp set – and it is Free! Even better! With your $90 order you can choose this set or any of the other choices for Sale-A-Bration.

You can head to my store HERE to order. Please use the Host Code for this week. SS7JW4QQ You can then pick up your Free set of Avant Garden or choose one of the other great choices. Check the items in store under Sale-A-Bration or look at the catalogue in the right side bar here.

If you would like to book your own Private Card Class with me to make beautiful cards like this and you are a Wollongong local then drop me a message and we can work out a date.
