COLOURING THE SPRINGTIME FOILS – PART 2!

March 27, 2018March 27, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Today, Part 2 of colouring the Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper I will show how you can sponge the paper with ink.

On the striped piece of Springtime Foils paper I sponged over the piece with Pool Party ink using a sponge. The lower part of the card was sponged darker than up towards the top where that was very light to no sponging. Once you have sponged the piece just lightly wipe over it with a tissue to remove any ink sitting on the embossed stripes. I adhered some Silver Foil strips behind it before adhering to a Thick White card base. The sentiment is from Beautiful Day. I added a small angled strip of Pool Party under the sentiment. I just noticed that the Rhinestone I put on the sentiment piece has slipped to the corner of the card. Oops! I will fix that on the card. 🙂

On the next card I loved the colours in a card I saw on Pinterest.

I randomly sponged Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sky over the card then sponged over with a tissue. I kept the layout the same as the one above layering it on Gold Foil strips this time.

Tomorrow another way to colour your Foils so be sure to check in with that.

PARTY PANDA POCKET CARD!

March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I am going to miss these Party Pandas. Seriously, aren’t they so cute?? I had to use them again for one last blast. I saw THIS POCKET CARD by Barbstamps the other week and thought the Pandas would be great for it.

Here is my version.

MEASUREMENTS FOR POCKET CARD

If you head to Barb’s link at the top you can see the video with the instructions to make the card. Below is a general idea.

Card Base: 21cm x 14.8cm (8 1/2″x 5 1/2″) Score at 3.5 cm and 10.5cm. (Score at 1 1/2″ and 4 1/4″)

Fold in at the half way score line and fold back on the small scored line. Staple or adhere the front of the card to the back. Underneath the flap so you don’t see the staples.

Designer Series Paper: Top piece – 14.4cm x 3.1cm (approximately 5 1/4″x 1 1/4″) Bottom piece: 14.4cm 3.6cm (aprroximatly 5 1/4″ x 1 1/2″)

Cut the stamped piece for the image according to the size of your image. This piece for the Panda was card mat: 6.9cm x 5.5cm Whisper White 6.5cm x 5.1cm.

Pocket Insert: 13.2cm x 10cm (5 1/8″x4″) Whisper White 12.8cm x 9.6cm (5″x 3 3/4″)

——

On the Panda stamped piece I coloured a Rhinestone with the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Bubbles and Fizz pack that is a Free choice with Sale-A-Bration.

Hope you like it,

Jenny

EASTER TREAT BAG FOR STAMPIN’ DREAMS BLOG HOP!

March 15, 2018March 15, 2018 Jenny Hayward

This month’s Theme for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop is … Easter. You might have just come from Angela’s Blog -> HERE or starting at my blog here either way enjoy the hop.

Easter time is fast approaching! I have an Easter Treat Bag to share with you.

THE TREAT BAG

I have made the treat bag using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits set from Thick Whisper White card. It would be more sturdier than regular white card. You want it strong to hold that chocolate in. 🙂 There are a couple of modifications to the bag to make it wider to hold the chocolate bar. I will outline these changes below for you.

Cut your Treat Bag out with the Thinlits from cardstock. Emboss the card pieces with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder. Adhere the 2 pieces of the diecut bag together as you would usually to have one long card piece. Don’t adhere together to form the bag as yet.

Due to the thickness of the chocolate bar you will need to add an additional piece to your bottom tab. Cut a strip of white card measuring 9cm x 3cm. Score on the short side at 1.5cm (3 1/2″ x 1 1/8″ scored at approximately 1/2″). This piece will be adhered to the bottom of the treat bag to enable the bottom to be sealed. To do this, add adhesive along one side of the small scored strip. Adhere this to the bottom tab section. Place adhesive on the back tab and fold over to adhere. NOTE: Place your chocolate or other treat in before doing this and wrap it around the treat so it is folded at the right place to fit. Also, it won’t adhere completely the full length due to the size but will adhere at the top points.

DECORATING THE BAG

To decorate the front of the bag I wanted to keep it simple. I had just received the You’re Inspiring set so thought it would be just appropriate for Easter. Although Easter does not exactly fall in our Spring time when the Daffodils appear but it is still nice and sunny and warm and I think these daffodils are quite bright and cheery. I coloured the daffodils with the Stampin’ Blends.

Once the daffodils were coloured it was then cut with the largest circle from the Layering Circle Framelits. The paper for the banner is from the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack. I flagged the end of the strip and raised that up off the front with Dimensionals. At the top of the banner piece I added a Gold Binder Clip and tied around some White Organza Ribbon. Adhere your stamped circle off the paper with Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from the Inspiring You set on Pumpkin Pie and punch out with the Duet Banner Punch.

——-

Thanks for visiting. Now hippity-hoppity to the next blog to see what Easter creativeness beholds. You will be off to Kim’s blog -> HERE (click on this to head to it as I have a WordPress blog I can’t add the link within the ‘NEXT’ below). 🙂

LAKE SCENE WITH THE WATERFRONT SET!

March 10, 2018March 10, 2018 Jenny Hayward

OK. I have another Waterfront card for you. Are you sick of seeing these cards yet? Sorry about that. Tomorrow is the last one for a while.

Today though I have a Lake scene stamped with this stamp set. It might be your typical scene with it. I was trying to recreate this scene from one of my favourite places in the world – Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, Australia. It didn’t quite look as I wanted to but I like the card anyway.

This is the scene and then I will show you my card. You be the judge. 🙂 I made this early on in my playing with this set so I was still getting a feel for it.

I climbed to the top of that mountain peak in the distance last year. It was a HUGE effort. It had been a goal of mine for maybe 18 years. It holds a special place in my heart.

The trees are a little larger in the forefront but I had to work with what I had. I can see a few changes that I would make now. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be exact. The landscape images are just to inspire us. Maybe I will have another go at it.

Thanks for your patience this week while sharing these projects. Last one for the week tomorrow.

Have a great day,

Jenny

ESAD BLOGHOP SALE-A-BRATION 2018!

February 25, 2018February 25, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Today I am joining in on a Bloghop with lots of other demonstrators in Australia and New Zealand in the ESAD Facebook group. (ie Extra Special Australian and New Zealand Demonstrators. We are all special though!). We are focusing on Sale-A-Bration. You might be starting here or might have come from Melinda’s blog -> HERE. Either way, enjoy the fabulous creations along the way.

Firstly, what is ESAD. Let’s get that out of the way.

I am loving the gorgeous new Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper that has just become available for the second release for Sale-A-Bration last week. You have already heard me go on about it. 🙂 Anyway, I thought a CLASSY CLUTCH BAG AND CARD was in order with this gorgeous paper!!

What special gifts you could fill in this clutch bag. It’s a good size for chocolates, a small gift, makeup???? So many different gifts for a very special occasion. I will show you how to make the clutch bag further below.

———–

Firstly, the card.

Really, you don’t need to do too much when you add this gorgeous paper to a card.

Firstly I wrapped some Gold Thread several times around the bottom section of the paper. Then adhered this piece to a Gold Foil mat and then adhered them both to a Thick Whisper White card base. The “celebrate” is cut from the Celebrate You Thinlits from Gold Foil. Another bonus choice for Sale-A-Bration. It is hard to tell but I stamped the “YOU” on to a small piece of Silver Foil in Black Stazon. I also added a small Vellum leaf under the “celebrate”. This is from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits set.

MAKE A CLUTCH BAG FOR A SPECIAL GIFT

I originally made this bag back in 2010. You can see that version -> HERE. I have been wanting to create it again for some time so this was a great opportunity.

This is the front view.

And we have the side view.

To make your clutch.

NB: Measurements are in Metric and Imperial. (please check the Imperial measurements in scrap card to check. It’s always a good idea to test run your projects beforehand anyway).

1. Cut a piece of the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (or other card of choice) to 19cm x 20cm (7 1/2″ x 7 7/8″). NB: Check the pattern of your piece is running the way you want it to. The 20cm side (7 7/8″) is the front/back.

Score on the 19cm (7 1/2″) side at 8cm and 11cm (3 3/8″ and 4 5/16″).

Score on the 20cm (7 7/8″) at 2.5cm and 17.5cm (1″ and 6 7/8″).

2. Cut up the tabs on the side to meet the score line. Fold on the score lines. Fold up to form a box and then you can see where to place your adhesive.

Add adhesive to your tabs. Fold up and adhere together in the box shape.

3. Create your handle. Cut a strip of the Gold foil for your measuring 3cm x 30.5cm (approximately 1 1/4″ x 12″). TIP: I ran this piece along the edge of the table a few times to help curl the card strip. Place adhesive on the ends of the strip and adhered this to the sides of the box.

4. Create your flap for you bag. From Gold Foil cut your piece 15cm x 10.5cm (6″ x 4 1/8″). Score on the 10.5cm side (4 1/8″ side) at 5.5cm and 8.5cm (2 3/16″ and 3 3/8″). Cut the front flap to a triangle if you like. To do this mark the edge of the Foil piece at 7.5cm (3″) which is the mid-point. Then cut from the point to the side of the card where the score line meets on both sides. See the photo to show how it would look.

5. Place adhesive on the inside edge of the narrow tab. Adhere this to the back of the bag.

6. I used magnets to hold the bag closed. Place a magnet on the underside of the front flap. Then line it up and place a magnet on the front. I would have preferred to have the magnet inside the bag and I tried several times but the magnets weren’t strong enough for the card thickness. Maybe your magnets would be better. 🙂

I hope you like this project. I can imagine it in so many different papers but this paper is just so gorgeous.

Thanks for hopping.

MINI LOTS OF LAVENDER THANKS!

February 22, 2018February 22, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I thought I would show you the mini Thank you cards I made for my customers last month using the Lots of Lavender set available for Sale-A-Bration.

I have to say, in my hurry to get them out I missed stamping the “thanks” on the front. Silly me! 🙂 I had the stamp set on my desk too. Never mind! I wrote inside to say Thanks to them and that I appreciate their order. I like to send little notes like these often. They don’t need to be big standard size cards. For these I used the Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes in the Occasions Catalogue.

The Lots Of Lavender set is a great 2 step stamp set. Some of the time (well most of the time) I don’t feel like colouring, so you can stamp the outline and then fill in the image with another stamp. I used 2 colour variations. One on the left – Powder Pink and Berry Burst. On the right (Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant). The leaves were stamped in Wild Wasabi. I went over the lines of the leaves with the Wild Wasabi marker. The stems were coloured with the Old Olive marker. I added a little bow with the Linen Thread and attached it with a Glue Dot.

This is the Lots of Lavender set if you hadn’t noticed it in the Occasions Catalogue. It’s great for quick cards. This set is one of the free choices available for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90.

Thanks for visiting my little corner of Blogland. I do appreciate each one of you. I wish I could send a Thank You card to each and everyone of you. xx

THERE IS “LOTS TO LOVE” ON VALENTINE’S DAY!

February 14, 2018February 14, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I showed you in yesterday’s post the cute Flip Top Treat Box using the Lots To Love Box Framelits. Here it is if you missed it but you can jump back to the last post though too and see more of it and the instructions.

This is actually a cute little Framelit set but there were parts that I wasn’t sure what they were used for. Like those little tiny arch shaped dies down at the bottom of the image below???

I found this video from Stampin’ Up! explaining the pieces and showing some great projects. I thought for my Wednesday WOW! #14 this week we will take a look at this set. Very timely today being Valentine’s Day right. ❤ It does work well with the matching Sure Do Love You stamp set too.

That explains everything!

You can grab the Framelits in my store now -> HERE $57 AUS or grab the bundle and use them together. Clear mount stamp set is $84.50 AUS See that -> HERE.

Aren’t these projects pretty? These are from the current Occasions Catalogue and shows how gorgeous the products are especially with the beautiful Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series paper. SO much prettiness!
