cards, Classes, Stampin' Up!, Techniques

A few weeks ago for Onstage I didn’t have an opportunity to make swaps to share with other demonstrators. Life has been a little busy. 🙂 I did make a card for the Display boards though where you can add your swap cards or samples. They are always so inspiring and is a big part of why I love to go. It’s like a live Pinterest board!!!! 😉

I thought it was time to show you the card. This is a technique I have been playing around with recentlly. I don’t really know what the name of the technique is but I call it the Water Spritzed technique. I will show you how to do this below so read on.

This is my card I made for the board.

You can see the little “splodges” in the ink where the colour has lifted. It creates a cool motley effect. Here is how it is done.

WATER SPRITZED TECHNIQUE

1. Using Thick Whisper White or Shimmery white cardstock, heat emboss your images. On these I embossed the coral and the fish with white Embossing powder. I stamped the seahorse with Black Stazon. It is important to emboss or to use the Stazon so the ink on the images don’t run when you spritz.

2. Use your first colour and sponge in patches over the card. I have used Bermuda Bay here.

Then add your 2nd colour. I have used Daffodil Delight.

3. Fill in with your 3rd colour. I have used Marina Mist I think. It’s good to have 3 co-ordinating colours. Once you have sponged the colours on, use a tissue to wipe off the ink where the images are embossed. This makes the embossing shine.

4. With a spritzer with water or I use an old Stampin’ mist bottle, hold the bottle a little away and lightly spray the card. You don’t want to soak the card just lightly mist. You will see some of the colour start to lift. Mist until you are happy with the coverage. Keep the card level or you will start to have runs from the water running down. Leave the card aside on the table for a few minutes. The longer you leave the card, the more effect you will get. Finish off drying your card with the Heat Tool lightly. You don’t want to melt your embossed images any more.

You can now finish your card as you like.

Here is the first card I made using this effect. I have used Rose Wonder set. Thank you to my friend Leonie for showing me this technique. We made this card at my last technique class too. I have heat embossed the images in white, The inks I have used are Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise and Bermuda Bay.

I made another card that day but I didn’t leave the water sitting on the card for long so it doesn’t have as much mottling. I was a little disappointed with the colour combination. I used Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron I think and Lavender Lace. I thought I would show you the card anyway. This is using Birthday Blossoms.

So how about you have a try at this technique. Each time you do one it will turn out different. It’s fun.

Thanks for visiting me today. Have a wonderful day/night.

BLOOMIN’ HEART BUTTERFLY!

February 22, 2016February 22, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I have another card for you today using the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits. This card uses the Thinlits in a different way. I saw this idea on Pinterest and other blogs and thought I just have to try this myself.

I first cut the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits from Calypso Coral card then placed the large Bold Butterfly Framelits over the heart and cut it out. I cut a second butterfly straight from Calypso Coral card. I adhered the both together.

To assemble the card I embossed a piece of Whisper White card with the Fluttering Embossing Folder and layered this piece on to black card and adhered the both pieces to a Calypso Coral card base.

I cut some leaf stems from vellum using the Rose Garden Thinlits and placed them behind the butterfly. I think it gives a little softness. The greeting is from the Rose Wonder set and cut with the matching frame. I added some silver metallic Thread behind the label. In the centre of the butterfly I added a White Baker’s Twine bow and a Metal Rimmed Pearl.

I was really pleased how this turned out. I hope you might like it too.

Have a great day/night wherever you may be.

JUST ADD INK #229 – RAINBOWS

September 2, 2014 Jenny Hayward

It has been a while since I had a chance to play along with a Challenge. I had a little time today and when I saw the challenge at Just Add Ink this week I thought this would be a good one to try. This week ‘ Rainbows’. We certainly have had a lot of rain recently to relate to this but I did like the fun colours to work with. Here is the inspiration.

Here is the card I came up with. It certainly took a lot longer than I thought it would but I am pleased with the final result. I love all the bright, happy colours.

This was the first chance I have had to use the Star stencil too so that was fun. I sponged sections with Tempting Turqoise, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo. This was adhered to a Melon Mambo mat and Tempting Turquoise card base. I added some Burlap ribbon across the front. I coloured sections of the stamp from ‘Amazing Birthday’ with the markers. I stamped some again to raise them up too. This was adhered to a piece of Melon Mambo card and raised up off the white card front. What I discovered too was the small star in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack co-ordinates nicely with the small star framelit. So I punched out the small star in Pumpkin Pie and then cut out the star using the framelit around the punched one. I cut another star in Melon Mambo and adhered them together. I was quite excited about the result. I punched out some more stars in Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. I added some Brights Candy Dots to the centre of the stars too.

Job done! Challenge Completed!! I hope this brightens your day wherever you are.

If you want to join in the Just Add Ink challenge then head to the blog post here. There is not a lot of time left.

FAREWELL SALE-A-BRATION 2014!

March 31, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Last day of Sale-A-Bration! I can’t believe how fast these last 2 months have flown by. I am a bit sad that Sale-A-Bration is over for another year. I have really loved playing with these products. Here is a quick card today to say Farewell to Sale-A-Bration – and to ‘Petal Parade’. When I first saw this set the brochure I really wasn’t sure of it BUT I REALLY LOVE IT!!! I am a bit sad to finish with this set. I hope you have your set of ‘Petal Parade’ already or any of the other Sale-A-Bration products.

This card I shared in my ‘Stamp Spectacular’ Event the other week but I thought I would show you today as we say Farewell to Sale-A-Bration.

I love how you can multi-stamp the images and create your own Background paper or you can use the images on their own. For this I have used Crisp Canteloupe, Summer Starfruit, Pistachio Pudding and Coastal Cabana. The sentiment is from ‘Remembering Your Birthday’. I have used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and layered the sentiment. The Whisper White card was 3.5cm wide (I think) and the Summer Starfruit was 4cm. (Something like that). Place the card in the punch and look through the window underneath to line it up evenly.

So, today is the last day. Email or phone me with your order. You can choose one Sale-A-Bration gift with every $90 order OR head to my store here and place your order.

OK, I have to run. Have a Happy Day 🙂

Jenny
