HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH CHEVRONS!

April 22, 2014April 22, 2014 Jenny Hayward

When I made this card I wanted to show a different way of using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. This is such a versatile punch. With a strip of Whisper White card you can punch both ends of the strip and create fancy “holes” for your ribbon to thread through. I was really trying to come up with a fancy term for these little “holes” but there was nothing!!! Anyway, you get the idea.

I sponged around the tag with Summer Starfruit. The greeting is from ‘Perfectly Penned’. After threading through some Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin ribbon I layered it all on a piece of DSP from Birthday Basics and layered this on a Summer Starfruit card mat. Then it was all adhered to a Raspberry Ripple Card base. I punched out some chevrons with the Chevron Border punch from Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green.

Now these colours will be retiring very soon. I would suggest stocking up NOW on the card, ink, ink refills and ribbon. They go SO QUICKLY!! Don’t wait until the retirement list is announced in a month or 2 to order them because I wouldn’t like you to miss out.

School holidays at the moment. Although we haven’t gone away anywhere it has been a nice family time together but there has not been a lot of stamping time. I just sneak a little time here and there. I am working away at my Convention swaps which is just one month away. YAY!! You will have to wait to see these swaps though. Let me just say, why do I always choose involved cards to make as my swaps!!!

Have a great day/night wherever you are on this lovely planet 🙂

CANTELOUPE ‘SO VERY GRATEFUL’!

April 17, 2014April 17, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I had a little time the other day and decided to just do some playing. I grabbed the set ‘So Very Grateful’ which I only received recently and did some colouring.

I cut some Whisper White card with the Top Note Die and then stamped the flower images in Black Staz On and coloured with the Markers using Crisp Canteloupe, Strawberry Slush, Summer Starfruit and Pistachio Pudding. I was pretty happy with the final result. I can’t wait to get the Blenabilities though! I stamped the greeting from’Perfectly Penned’ . I think I stamped that too high up. I am not happy with all that white space in the middle. I tried adding a separate flower but wasn’t sure. What do you think???

To assemble the card I stamped the flower image in Crisp Canteloupe ink on the Crisp Canteloupe base card. I added some white Taffeta ribbon around the card. I add a little piece of doily that was just inked lightly with ink and I adhered that under that Top Note stamped piece. I added a white Taffeta bow to finish it off.

It was fun playing “just because”.

Thanks for visiting. Hope you can visit again very soon,

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 🙂

PETAL PARADE GIFT BAG!

March 18, 2014March 18, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I wanted to show you a little gift bag I have been making at my workshops this month. They are so easy to make and gotta love the Sweet Sorbet DSP!!!

You can make these too. Just head to Ronda’s blog here and and she will show you how.

To create the label on the front I have stamped Whisper White cardstock firstly with the greeting from ‘Simply Sketched’ and then stamped randomly in Pool Party, Crisp Canteloupe and Summer Starfruit using Petal Parade. You make the enclosure with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and I have tied it off with Crisp Canteloupe Ruffled Ribbon.

I hope all is well where you are??? Have a good day 🙂

HIP, HIP, HOORAY BANNER BLAST!

March 13, 2014March 13, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I love the stamp set you get with the ‘Hip, Hip, Hooray’ card kit. This is awesome value at $34.95 which includes the cards, envelopes, stamps, inkspot and embellishments enough to make 20 cards. You can see all the details in this post here. Here is a card I made with the stamp set and using the set ‘Banner Blast’ that you can get for Free as one of your Sale-A-Bration choices. This also uses the ‘Hardwood’ stamp from the Occasions Catalogue. The card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.

This is one of the cards we will be making at my card classes on Friday. I still have some places left if you want to join me and you are in the area. I would love to see you at 10am or 7.30pm. Cost is $15 but you need to let me know ASAP so you don’t miss out.

Have a happy day 🙂

SCALLOP TAG TOPPER TRI-FOLD CARD!

March 10, 2014March 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

When I first got my Tag Topper Punch I thought it would look cool to make a fold out card with it. I had seen a couple around my blog travels but wasn’t sure how to go about it. Well I made one AND I have put together a tutorial just for you so you can make one yourself.

Here is some close-ups.

Now on to the Tutorial.

SCALLOP TAG TOPPER PUNCH TRI-FOLD CARD!

1. Cut your base card to 14.8cm x 21cm. (I used Baked Brown Sugar). On the 21cm side score the card at 7cm and 14cm.

2. Slide the edge of your card (long side) in to your Tag Topper Punch. It takes a little wiggling but you can get the card in and line it up in the first scored section in to the punch. You can roughly line the card up between the rectangle shape on the top of the punch where the image of the punch is on. See the photo.

Punch the card. Then move it along to the next scored section. Line it up and then punch again. Repeat for the last section again.

Trim off the excess tabs to level them off.

NOTE: The card does get a little bent when you punch it out but just press over it and when you add the card to the front you don’t notice it.

3. Cut your card mat pieces and whisper white and DSP (designer series paper).

Card mats (I used Crisp Canteloupe) measures 6.6cm x 12.2cm (3 in total).

Whisper White (x2) and DSP piece(x1) 6.2cm x 11.8cm. The DSP is from Venetian Romance.

I stamped one of the Whisper White pieces with the flower from ‘Happy Watercolor’ in Baked Brown Sugar and coloured it with the Aquapainter and inkpad.

To finish the card off I sponged the white card pieces and the DSP with Crisp Canteloupe ink and adhered them to the card. I added some Gold Washi Tape and also some gold sequins over the card (still not sure about these???). Then I tied some Crisp Canteloupe Ruffled ribbon through the holes and tied them off with Linen Thread.

Here it is again – the finished off card.

Do you like it????? Why not go and make one for yourself.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me in your day. I do appreciate it as I know your time is precious. I hope you are inspired.

See you next time.

GORGEOUS GRUNGE THANK YOU!

February 26, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I made a special Thank You card on the weekend. My husband had a really bad Mountain Bike accident 2 weeks ago. Fortunately there were no broken bones but a few other injuries and stitches. This Thank You card is for his mate who he was riding with. I am so thankful for all he did on the day and continually does for us. I added a Gift Card with the card but this “Thank You” doesn’t seem enough.

The card had to be manly and I was careful with the colour choices. No red was to be seen!! I used Gorgeous Grunge and Chalk Talk. It was finished off with a ‘Hung Up Cute Clip’ (p 170 of the Annual Catalogue).

The last couple of weeks have been crazy. I have just now managed to get to my stamp room again to create. It is such a good feeling to escape and stamp!!!

See you again soon,

Jenny
