Season of Joy – A Stamping Journey

I have been so busy showing you all my fun boxes and bags I have done for Christmas, I haven’t shown you many Christmas Cards yet. I have to say I haven’t done as many cards as I should have done. But here are a few quick ones.

A Gatefold Tree Trimmings Card. (Not the clearest photo, sorry!) Can you see the bling???

I really liked this one. It is so effective with the brayered, embossed background.

A ‘Dasher’ Christmas. This one and the one above we did at my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack. This card was inspired by one by Andrea Walford. The card above was inspired by a card by my lovely friend Leonie N. (Thanks Leonie!)

Some really quick cards with ‘Season Of Joy’ stamp set. Not very clear but I added a Self-adhesive pearl to the centre of the word ‘Joy’.

Sorry, no time for details on the cards today. I am in a hurry, but I thought I would stop by and show you these all together or it would be New Year before you saw them! We are off now to look at the Christmas lights. That is a tradition we do every year. There are some spectacular displays that some people put up on their houses. I can even manage to drag out my teenage son to see them. I don’t know how long that is going to last though!

Catch you very soon. xx

MORE SCRAPPING!!

March 11, 2010March 11, 2010 Jenny Hayward

I have some more scrap pages to show you. These are some other pages I have done at recent workshops (Well, before Christmas!!)

This is a very simple 6″x6″ page.

I have used the spiral punch down the left hand side of the Raspberry Tart DSP. I used the marker to ink up just the love from the ‘Short and Sweet’ set and then inked up the U from ‘Schoolbook Serif’ alphabet. I did stamp the background page with the small flower from ‘Simply Said’, but it is a bit hard to see. A bit of bling on the hearts and some ribbon would add to the page now I look at it again.

This is a Christmas page. I know it is March, but that is how far behind I am!!! This is a 12×12 page with ‘Season of Joy’. What a versatile set that one is. I borrowed it for these workshops but may have to buy one for next Christmas!

It is a bit hard to see. I have used Handsome Hunter, Kraft and Real Red. I like those colours together. I used the markers to highlight the words ‘Merry & Bright’. The ‘joy” word was stamped directly on the Kraft card in Real Red and then I stamped it again on the Handsome Hunter. I punched the ‘o’ out and raised it using the mounting tape. Here is a close-up.

For the tree I cut a triangle from Ski Slope DSP. I used the Word Window punch and cut the end off to form the base. You might not see the star very clearly, but I stamped the swirly image from ‘Trendy Trees’ in creamy caramel on Whisper White and then punched a small star shape out. I added some Dazzling Diamonds with the 2-way glue pen.

There you have it! Maybe a few pages to inspire you! LOL

Happy Stamping!

TAG TIME!!!

November 3, 2009 Jenny Hayward

Wow! What a weekend I’ve had. It was so busy with stamping things, but it was such a great time. On Saturday I had my Christmas Card Buffet. I was not sure how that would go BUT I think everyone had a great time, and enjoyed the cards they made. I will show you the cards, but first I thought I would show you the little tags I made. I made different ones and then bundled them in little cellophane bags I had stamped. I used these as little giveaways.

(There are other tags on the other side, I didn’t take a photo of that side!!)

I’ll give you the measurements for the tags so you can make your own!

Large Tags:

Base colour: 9cm x 4.5cm Whisper White: 8.6cm x 4.1cm

I used the 1.9cm (3/4″) circle punch to create the little tab at the end. With the Crop -A-Dile I punched a hole through to tie on the ribbon. I used Bashful Blue, Handsome Hunter and Real Red. The ornaments from “‘Tree Trimmings” and the flower from “Season of Joy’ were stamped on scrap card, cut and raised with mounting tape. I added some bling with the 2 way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds. (Gotta have bling for Christmas!)

Oval Tags:

Punch an oval using the wide oval punch. I sponged the edges and then stapled on some ribbon. The ornaments from “Tree Trimmings” were stamped on scrap card, then cut and mounted onto the oval. I added the bling to these too.

EASY and SUPERQUICK!!! They had to be since I didn’t have much time.

I’ll pop back soon and show you the cards we made. Hope you visit again soon.
