BEST BIRDS WITH PLAYFUL PALETTES!

July 8, 2016July 8, 2016 Jenny Hayward

After I made the card with the Best Birds set the other day (you can see that card in a post or 2 back), I thought I would make a couple more cards with these stamps and dies. I had some bits of the Playful Palette DSP stack lying around and I am really trying to use my paper more. I have so much paper left over when it comes to the end of a catalogue.

These “bits” were just the right size for the front of a card. Here they are for you.

The first card is using the Sweet Sugarplum card base. Flowers were stamped on the base. I have used the new Oval Layering Framelits to cut some white card and stamped the hatch pattern in Peekaboo Peach and the sentiment in black. I really like the sentiments in this set. It has beautiful font and lovely words. I sponged the edges of the Peekaboo Peach birds before adhering them to the card.

The next card I had 3 pieces of the Playful Palette Paper stack that just fitted nicely. I matted them on to black card and added it to a Blushing Bride card base. The bird was cut in the Sweet Sugarplum. The tag is cut from the ‘Tags and Labels’ Framelits.

So some cute cards using “bits” on my table. That’s always a good thing isn’t it. 🙂

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! CATALOGUE LAUNCH – PART 2!

June 22, 2016June 22, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I have some more of the fun from my Catalogue Launch for you. If you missed out on the first part then head back to the last post I did. Today I want to share with you some of the stamping fun we had.

The table all set up ready to go. I was pretty excited with the Pom Pom Flowers I found that was a fairly close match to some of the new Incolors.

This was a sample of some of the new products and some cards. I had other new products in the Product Playground that I showed in the last post.

I had some Swirly Bird card samples to share. I have a class this coming Saturday just with the Swirly Bird stamps and the Scribbles Thinlits. That should be a lot of fun.

This was the first Make and Take using the new Flourish Thinlits. I love the delicateness of these dies. I found they cut surprisingly easy even with just the regular platform. I used the new ‘Playful Palette’ DSP stack too. The sentiment is from the new set ‘Best Birds’.

The other Make and Take was using the new Dapper Denim Incolor. I have used the ‘Thoughful Banners’ stamp set. These banners are so easy to punch with the Duet Banner Punch. I stamped a background on the base card with the Timeless Textures stamp set. The colours of the stripes were from the top – Night of Navy, Dapper Denim, Island Indigo, Marina Mist and Soft Sky. I cut a scallop square mat for the white stamped card piece with the new Layering Square Framelits. It just gives a subtle peek of the silver Foil. This card was inspired by a card I saw on a Facebook group I am on.

So lots of fun was had by all my lovely ladies who came. I appreciate each and every one of them. If you are local make sure you come along to my next launch or class to enjoy the fun.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jenny

cards, Stampin' Up!, Techniques

WETLANDS DIRECT TO PAPER TECHNIQUE!

May 26, 2016May 26, 2016 Jenny Hayward

We made this card at our team meeting earlier this month. Thanks Barbara for sharing it. I thought I would show you how you can make it too. First let me show you the card.

I have used the ‘Wetlands’ stamp set. I am glad this is still around. I haven’t had a lot of time to play with this set. I have used the Direct to Paper technique to create the background.

DIRECT TO PAPER TUTORIAL

1. Choose your ink, I have used Crumb Cake and Soft Sky. You can use regular Whisper White cardstock for this technique. With the Crumb Cake ink place it over your cardstock near the edge. With the inkpad tilted very slightly upwards swipe the cardstock across the card starting at just off the edge of your card just in the lower half of the card. You may want to repeat the swiping a couple of times until you are happy with it. Always starting off the cardstock each time. It is fine to have white patches showing.

2. Now using the Soft Sky repeat the swiping in the top half of the card. Repeat the swiping a couple of times until you are happy with the coverage.

3. When you are finished stamp the image and the greeting from the ‘Wetlands’ set using Black ink.

Each time you do this technique it will be different – which is the fun part. You never know what you are going to get. Try it with different stamps and see what you get. I can’t wait to try this again.

Thanks for visiting me,

BOTANICALS AND TIMELESS TEXTURES!

May 23, 2016May 23, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a couple of weeks ago for our team swaps. It was a really busy time but I was determined to make some. A number of the lovely people in our team had given me swaps at the previous meeting and at Onstage and I didn’t have any so I really had to make up for it. Although I still don’t think I made up for the lovely cards I received. 🙂

This card was CASED from a card on a Facebook group I am on. Yes, I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to think for myself. I loved the idea though of teaming two of my favourite products and with one of my favourite colours.

I have used Timeless Textures and the greeting is from ‘Tin of Cards’. I am having a great time with the Botanical Builders Thinlits. I cut a Mint Macaron flower with them and then sponged some Mint Macaron ink on the edges. I added a black centre to the flower. I think it just “pops” it a little. A little bling with the Rhinestone is good for the sparkle factor.

Thanks for visiting me. Do stop by again. Drop a comment and say Hi too. I love to hear how you are and where you are from.

CREATIVE PLAY DAY WITH BOTANICAL BUILDER FRAMELITS!

April 8, 2016April 8, 2016 Jenny Hayward

I had some creative time yesterday just to play. It was so good. I don’t have a lot of occasions to do this for a whole day. Good for the soul 🙂

After I made some customer Thank You cards (which I will show you next post) I could play with the Botanical Builder Framelits. I only got the framelits recently. I was NOT going to get these. Nup, I don’t need them, BUT I saw so many gorgeous things created that one day they slipped in to my order on Hostess rewards. Just one of the many perks being a demonstrator. 😉

So I thought I would show you what I made. I think I only touched the tip of the iceberg here. So much to make with them.

I saw this idea on a Facebook group I am on to use the leaf border as the centre border on a card. I thought that was clever. Have to say though it was harder to work out than it looked – and maybe cut the right side of the card! Here is the first card. I am still not too sure of it. I thought I would show you anyway.

The base in Sahara Sand and the Designer Series Paper piece is from the ‘It’s my Party’ Paper Stack. I think the colour of the DSP leaves it looking a little flat. I cut a piece of Mint Macaron card slightly smaller and then cut the leaf edge from the centre. Just check which way you need to cut it first!!!

The sentiment is from ‘Birthday Blossoms’ set stamped in Black. I added some Rhinestones but still thought it was missing something. After I cut some flowers for another card I added a flower to the top right. The flower is in white and I sponged the edges. I don’t know, what do you think? Missing something?

Well after making this card I tried another one this time in Island Indigo.

I do like this version better. Maybe it’s a bit brighter? I added some Adhesive Pearls to this one. The sentiment is from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’. This might work for a wedding card?

When I made the Mint Macaron version above I first cut it wrong. Rather than waste the piece I thought I would make another card.

I added the strip along the bottom of a Whisper White mat which I had embossed with the ‘Softly Falling’ Embossing Folder. The card base is Mint Macaron. This sentiment is also from ‘Birthday Blossoms’ which I cut with an Oval Framelit. The flowers were cut in White and then sponged with some smaller Mint Macaron ones in the centre.

I can’t wait to get back to playing with these some more to see what else I can make. Lots of versions layering and sponging!!

Thanks for visiting.

KNOW WHAT I LOVE??

February 18, 2016February 18, 2016 Jenny Hayward

This was another of the cards I made a couple of weeks ago when I was playing with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits. I had cut the heart from the Sale-A-Bration paper ‘Wildflower Fields’ DSP. This was one of the activities everyone got to do at my Launch at the Product Playground but I hadn’t got around to actually making a card from it at that time.

I wasn’t sure how to put it together but I teamed it with a few of my new Favourites the ‘Timeless Textures’ stamp set which I stamped in Sahara Sand and the greeting from one of the Sale-A-Bration sets ‘What I Love’.
