MORE BLACKBERRY BLISS + CRAZY ABOUT YOU!

January 30, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I shared some cards in the last post made with Blackberry Bliss and Crazy About You. I decided to create some more the other day while I still had everything out.

This first one was CASED from Pinterest by Melissa Davies. I love the simple one layer nature of it. (Apologies for the poor lighting. The weather has been rainy and overcast most of this week).

The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. See the flower?? I have stamped the flower 3 times and layered them. The first flower was punched with the Medallion Flower Punch. The 2nd and 3rd ones I cut the flowers down smaller following the lines of the flowers. One smaller than the next. I added a Baker’s Twine bow to the centre with glue dots.

The second card was CASED from Pinterest also but I don’t know who the original creator was I am sorry. The card base is Pear Pizzazz and has a Blackberry Bliss mat. The flowers were stamped twice directly on the Whisper White card with Pear Pizzazz leaves. I stamped another flower on scrap white card and punched this out and raised this one up with the mounting tape. Just a tip for stamping the leaves particularly the one under the raised flower. I placed the flower on the card and I could then see the best position for the leaves. Another white twine bow was added to the centre. I added a little butterfly punched from Blackberry Bliss using the Itty Bitty Butterfly punch. A little bling is always nice to finish the card off!

Thanks for stopping by again. I do appreciate your visits. Please say Hi. It’s nice to know I am not just putting these up here for myself. Hey! I have already seen them 😉

Stop by again soon,

SALE-A-BRATION ‘BIG DAY’!

January 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I showed you one of these cards in a recent post but I thought I would show you it again and show the other card I made at the same time using one of the Free Sale-A-Bration stamp set ‘Big Day’. There are so many fantastic Free choices this year for Sale-A-Bration it is hard to choose a favourite but I think this is a fun one. There are so many ways of using it.

The card on the left was one of the cards we made at my stamp Day on the weekend. That was a fun card to colour. The “Happy Birthday” and the “Celebrate” stamp were stamped together on Whisper White and then cut with the Banners Framelits. To colour it I just used the blender pens and picked up the colour from the ink pad and coloured the lower part of the words. The “celebrate” word was stamped again on Crushed Curry, cut out and adhered over the word. The DSP on this card was another free Sale-A-Bration set ‘Best Day Ever’. I love the colours in this DSP of Crisp Canteloupe, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry (which is not a colour I have used before!!). I finished it off with a Coastal Cabana bow (Yes a Free Sale-A-Bration choice!).

The card on the right was from a sketch on Freshly Made Sketches #283. I turned the sketch when I created the card. I was pleased how quick this card came together. I stamped the “celebrate” stamp and cut it with the Circles Framelits. This was coloured the same way as the above card and the “celebrate” stamped on Crushed Curry card and cut and adhered over. The “icecream” greeting was stamped on Sahara Sand scrap. I added a button (yet another free Sale-A-Bration choice). The Coastal Cabana piece was ran through the Big Shot with the Arrows Embossing Folder.

Two quick cards which came together with little drama. Which for me is a great thing. I think these were both made in under an hour. Gotta love that! I agonise over cards way too much.

Here is the ‘Big Day’ Stamp set if you haven’t noticed it before.

Have you checked out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue yet?? There is a link in the right hand column to view it online. Don’t forget, for every $90 of product order you can choose one of these items for Free!!!! Go and check it out. You can order directly online at my store too (the link is in the right hand column). I can ship anywhere in Australia. Of course, if you have a HUGE wish list, maybe you should think about joining Stampin’ Up! (discounts every time you order!!!). Ask me for more information if you would like to know more. You won’t regret it. You can check out all the Sale-A-Bration news HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have an inky day.

TEAM SECRET SANTA!

December 23, 2014 Jenny Hayward

We had our last ‘Inky Fingers’ team meeting for the year last week. As usual we had swaps and also had a Secret Santa. I will show you the Secret Santa gifts in a minute but first I will show you the swaps I made.

I had limited time but I made up some tags with a candy cane attached. These are just some of the selection.

I used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch to punch out the top of the tags. I stamped the background on the tags with ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ for the speckled effect and the stars from ‘Be the Star’ stamp set. The “Merry” is from ‘Cheerful Tags’ and the “Merry Little Wish” from ‘Get Your Santa On’. I used the Nordic Noel DSP to cut the trees and the stars.

Now I will show you the Secret Santa gift I received. This is a cute little backpack and was filled with teabags and chocolate!

Isn’t it sweet?? I have been wanting to make one of these for a while but now I have my own cute one. Thank you my Secret Santa 🙂

Here is the gift bag that I made for my Secret Santa. It was a regular white gift bag with handles and then I made up the stars to hang off it. It is hard to see but I stamped the stars in Lost Lagoon and heat embossed them. The silver stars were embossed with the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. I added a Rhinestone to each star and threaded Silver ribbon to hang them. I didn’t take a photo of the whole bag. Sorry – but I think you get an idea.

I hope your Christmas preparations are going well. It is hard to believe that Christmas is in just 2 days. Yikes!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

A STAMPING GIFT CARD!

December 8, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Christmas is fast approaching. Only 2 weeks to go! Yikes! Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?? I certainly haven’t. I think the hardest part is working out what to get people. I think it gets harder each year. Do you have some crafty friends or family members you still need to buy for? Or maybe someone still needs to buy you a gift and not sure what to buy you. Gift cards are an easy solution. I have Stampin’ Up! Gift Cards available. Why not grab one of these in any$$ value. They can then go shopping later on and I can have the order shipped directly to them. (Only Australian Residents). The new Occasions Catalogue AND Sale-A-Bration starts on January 6th so lots of new products they can choose from.

What to do:

Choose the Gift card you like, let me know the value and I will have a nice Gift Card Holder for you to present it in. Easy as! Don’t leave it too late though. 🙂

I hope your Christmas shopping goes smoothly. It is getting a bit crazy in the shops now.

A SHABBY CONGRATULATIONS CARD!!

November 7, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a month or 2 ago now and realised I hadn’t shown you. I needed to wait until the special person had received it – and then well, I forgot to show you. I made this card for a lovely friend of mine who had just achieved one of her dreams in life. It has been exciting watching her work towards this goal over the last few years. She kept this dream alive the whole time through all the obstacles and through all the steps needed to achieve it. It was so wonderful the day she told me she had “done it!!!”. I had to make a card to celebrate!

This is very much her style. Vintage, shabby, all the little details. I did CASE this card off Pinterest but can’t tell you who sorry.

The greeting is from the Kit ‘Everyday Occasions’. I love the greetings in this kit. This was stamped in Lost Lagoon and cut with the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits. This is a great die-cutting set for any greetings. Don’t just think of them for Project Life. I added some Rhinestones for the bling factor. The Whisper White card is embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. I added half a doily to the top and wrapped around some Linen Thread and punched out some banners with the Banner Punch. The flower is punched from Hello Honey card using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch. The white is layered onto Lost Lagoon mat and then adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend however you spend it. I do hope there is some creating in it 🙂

Stop by again soon,

Jenny

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME!!!

October 31, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I needed to make a card for a lovely friend of mine who recently moved in to a new place of her own. After many years of personal issues it was really lovely to see her now finding her own way. The dilemma was what can I use to make a card for her?? I usually do punch art for these occasions and I just went looking through my blog posts and realised I hadn’t shared any of them before. I don’t know how I missed that!! I decided to dust off a stamp I have had since before I joined Stampin’ Up! over 6 years ago. Previously I have coloured this with pencils or just inked in one colour. Today I dragged out the Blendabilities for it!

So it’s not Stampin’ Up! and I can’t tell you the name of this stamp sorry. It didn’t have the name or company on the block. The rest of the card is all Stampin’ Up! though. I thought I would show you the card still.

The base card is Marina Mist. A second piece of Marina Mist was cut just slightly smaller than the front of the base card. I cut a circle in that piece with a Circle Framelit and then this piece was embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. On Whisper White card I stamped the image in Memento Ink and coloured this with various Blendabilities. I adhered that piece under the embossed Marina Mist card and adhered it onto the card base. The greeting is from Petite Pairs stamp set. I coloured the “welcome” on the ‘Welcome Baby’ stamp with a Night of Navy Marker and stamped it on a strip of Whisper White. I flagged the end of the piece and adhered that to the card with Dimensionals. I added a Silver Metal Button and Whisper White Twine bow. I prefer using glue dots to adhere these. When it was done I thought it was a little plain so added some Old Olive leaves punched with the 2 step Bird Punch.

Thanks for stopping by and indulging me today. I hope life is good in your part of the world. 🙂
