Stampin’ Up! Australia – Page 14

Say What???

Yes! Stampin’ Up! are so generous. New products choices have just been announced for Sale-A-Bration AND they are catalogue products. How cool is that! I will tell you about that but first I wanted to share this card for you using the Sale-A-Bration set Avant Garden.

I haven’t used this set nearly enough over the last few months. (Maybe I was a little discouraged because I have lost the little stamen stamp). Never mind, there are still some gorgeous creations you can make without that little stamp. This card is another card we are making at Card Class this Friday along with the Dragonfly card I shared last post. Check back on the earlier posts if you want to see that.

I was inspired by a card on Pinterest to stamp the flowers as a background. This card took a life of it’s own after that.

If you are in the Wollongong area come and join in the class this Friday 24th 10am or 7pm. Lots of fun and creativity.

Now to those new products Stampin’ Up! are offering.

For every $90 order you can choose one of these catalogue choices as your Free option. Here they are. Which choice do you like? Paper, Embossing Folder or the Washi Tape.

Just a note: If you are ordering Online (which is HERE by the way!) and you are choosing one of these please be sure to use the Item Codes shown below.

I need to get creating with this set more before it goes. How about you?

Have a good rest of the week,

ONE LAYER LIFT ME UP BALLOON IN PASTELS!

March 8, 2017March 8, 2017 Jenny Hayward

I have a simple one-layer card to show you today using the Lift Me Up Bundle. This uses the different shaped pieces in the Up and Away Thinlits. The idea for this card was inspired by one I had seen on Pinterest. I thought it was a clever idea.

The different pieces were cut with Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky. The basket was stamped and cut from Crumb Cake. I sponged around the edge of each piece with the matching ink. Using the same colour inks I stamped the “splodge” from Gorgeous Grunge over the card. The sentiment was stamped in black.

Before adhering the pieces down, place them on the card in position. Mark the place in pencil where the “strings” for the balloon would be. Then remove the bottom piece and stamp the basket strings in. Then adhere the balloon pieces and the basket in to place. Add some Blushing Bride Baker’s Twine and a Rhinestone to finish.

I am so glad I can make more of these now. I had lost one of the Thinlit pieces for weeks. I was feeling very sad – and then yesterday sorting out stuff in the studio I found it on the floor under a table. YAY!!

Have a great day,

Jenny

SENDING SMILES WITH THE LIFT ME UP BALLOON!

March 6, 2017March 6, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Another card to share with the Lift Me Up Bundle. This time I wanted to add some colour behind the balloon. This is so easy to do with the shaped framelits in the Up and Away Thinlits set. This card was inspired by a card shared by a Demonstrator friend.

TO RECREATE THE CARD:

Adhere a piece of the ‘Falling in Love’ DSP to a Sweet Sugarplum card base.

Cut the large Hot Air Balloon from Very Vanilla Cardstock. Using the shaped framelits in the Up and Away Framelits cut pieces in various colours of card. I used Blushing Bride, Soft Sky and stick your card pieces down. Adhere the Balloon to your card. Tie off some Sweet Sugarplum (from the Succulent Ribbon Combo) and some Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon and adhere on to the Balloon with a ‘Falling in Love’ Embellishment.

Stamp the sentiment on to Very Vanilla Card and cut that with one of the shapes. Sponge the edge with Sweet Sugarplum ink. Cut an oval from the Layering Oval Framelits from Sweet Sugarplum and layer them together. Raise them up with Dimensionals.

A really very easy card once you put your Hot Air Balloon together. Try it with different colour combinations perhaps?

Have a great day.

CARRIED AWAY DSP + HOT AIR BALLOONS = A GOOD MIX!

March 4, 2017March 4, 2017 Jenny Hayward

While I had everything out from making the card I showed you last post I thought I would put together another card. This one also uses the Carried Away Designer Series Paper and Lift Me Up Bundle. It also has a similar colour scheme of the Peekaboo Peach and Night of Navy.

This time I stamped some small clouds on to the white card and layered over the DSP. I added a piece of the Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon before adhering it to the Peekaboo Peach card mat and then the Night of Navy Card base.

For the sentiment I inked just the “Happy Birthday” from the Lift Me Up Stamp set with the Night of Navy before stamping it and cutting it out with one of the Project Life Framelits. You might just be able to see some silver Thread looped up behind the sentiment too?? The large Hot Air Balloon was diecut from Night of Navy with the Up and Away Thinlits.

I hope your weekend is going awesome?? Be back again soon,

BEAUTIFUL YOU IN THE MOONLIGHT!

February 14, 2017February 14, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Last Saturday I held a ‘Beautiful You’ class showing lots of techniques that could be used with the very versatile set. It was very well received I think. I was busy last week playing a lot with this set to create some samples. I thought I would share some of the projects this week.

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest stamping it on black card so I really wanted to give it a go. Here is the card.

It is stamped with the White Craft Ink Pad. I thought I might have had to heat emboss it in White but I think it turned out crisp enough. For the moon, I punched out a circle from a Post It Note with the 2″ circle punch and laid the negative on the card in position and sponged ink over the punched circle. I then added a few highlights with the Blender Pen and ink.

The black card was adhered to Sweet Sugarplum and then to a Black card base. I added some Rhinestones to finish it off. I thought I would just keep it simple.

I will be back with some more cards with this great set later in the week.

SEALED WITH LOVE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!

February 14, 2017February 14, 2017 Jenny Hayward

It’s Valentine’s Day! In Australia we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in a big way. I gave my family a chocolate treat each but they don’t care for the wrapping really!!! So I don’t go all out. I have had these little note cards to show you for a while though so what better day than today. 🙂

This is another project we made at Stampin’ Up! Onstage last November. I hadn’t finished them at the time so I only just got them together before Christmas.

This is using the Sealed with Love Bundle on p 14-15 of the Occasions Catalogue. I thought they were cute in that they used the Sending Love Designer Series Paper for the card bases. They are tiny about 7cm square (around 3″). I just haven’t got them handy to check right now but you could make them any size. Cut a strip of the paper and fold it in half. Then add a piece of white card inside for your message. I will have to remember this idea for other little notecards.

They use the Love Notes Framelits Dies to embellish them with the heart, the arrow and the mini envelope. The envelope is cut from vellum, the wooden embellishment is from the Sending Love Embellishment pack and some twine and Rhinestones finish it off.

Sweet little notes to send to anyone to let them know they are loved. I think we all need that not just on Valentine’s Day. I hope you are feeling loved. xx

BEAUTIFUL YOU WATERCOLOURED!

December 29, 2016December 29, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I have finally had a chance to play with some new products. I have been so busy with Christmas and all these new toys have been sitting there looking at me. The first thing I pulled out was the set ‘Beautiful You’ and the Watercolor Pencils. I was really keen to give them a try.

This is the set of cards I created with them.

I kept the layout the same with each card. I will tell you how I created them below.

The image: There are 3 beautiful line images in this set. I stamped each one on a square of Thick Whisper White using Black Stazon. It is fine to use this thicker white card to do a little watercolouring. I coloured around the images with the Watercolor Pencils. Then using the Aquapainter I gave it a wash over to blend the colours. These pencils just blend so smoothly.

The Paper squares: I wanted to keep the layout fairly simple. I layered the image onto squares of Sahara Sand and then on to squares of the ‘Falling In Love’ DSP coming in the Occasions catalogue. This is such gorgeous paper. Although I seem to have hidden most of it under the squares!! Each of the squares are the same size measuring 8cm x 8cm (4″x 4″). I fanned them out before adhering them to the base card.

Assembling the card: The “squiggly” line stamp was stamped over the base card with the co-ordinating ink colour.

The sentiment: There are some really lovely sentiments in this set. I used the “celebrate” on each one stamping them on a strip of Whisper White cardstock. One was just using that word. Then on one card I coloured the “you” on one of the sentiments with the Black Marker and stamped that with the “celebrate”. That’s the great thing with clear blocks you can line it up closely to where you want it. If you are unsure eyeing it you could use the stamp-a-ma-jig.

On the other card I inked up the “in style” sentiment and stamped it with the “celebrate”. On each one I snipped the end to flag the end and then wrapped around some Linen Thread several times before adhering small piece of Paper Doily behind the card strip. Then it was raised up on to the card using Dimensionals.

Here is a close-up of each of the cards for you to see.

Soft Sky

Melon Mambo

Sweet Sugarplum

Only a few days to go (January 4th) before the Occasions Catalogue goes live. Sale-A-Bration starts to. I can’t wait to play more with these gorgeous products. Have you got your catalogue yet? If you still need to get your hands on one and you are in Australia then drop me a comment and I will send one your way.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny
