FAUX SHAVING CREAM FLOWER!!

May 29, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I have always been fascinated in the Shaving Cream technique but I haven’t got around to trying it. I think it is the mess! The shaving cream and reinkers and ….. Just too hard! SO, when I came across THIS technique on Splitcoaststampers a few weeks ago when I was looking for a different technique for a class, I thought I could really try this one. Here is the card I made.

The layout for the card was INSPIRED from Deb Currier from artfeltcreations.com. I changed a few things around and I created the Shaving Cream flower. I loved the effect. Here is a close-up. (OK a little blurry!)

I don’t usually share a tutorial for the Technique Classes I do but this technique is so cool I just wanted to share this with you my lovely readers. Of course, you can read about it at the Splitcoaststampers link above too. It is a bit like the Kissing technique if you have tried that.

SHAVING CREAM TECHNIQUE

1. Choose 3 co-ordinating ink colours. I have used Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo. I found the darker colours didn’t blend well and just looked messy 🙂

You will also need 2 stamps: One solid image stamp and one patterned stamp. I have used the flower from ‘Crazy About You’ and the honeycomb pattern from ‘Butterfly Basics’.

2. Ink up your solid image stamp with the lightest colour. Don’t stamp it on your card yet.

3. Ink up your patterned stamp with one of the other ink colours. Press it on to your solid image stamp and give it a slight twist. Clean your patterned stamp and ink again in the same colour. Press on to your solid stamp on the other part of your stamp and give a little twist. See the photo below.

4. Clean your stamp again and ink your patterned stamp with the other ink colour. Turn your solid image stamp 1/4 turn. Then press your inked patterned stamp on to the stamp and give a little twist. Clean your stamp. Ink it again in the same colour and stamp on the other part of your solid image stamp and give a twist.

5. Now give your solid image stamp a little huff to re-moisten the stamp and then press on to your piece of card.

It gives a really cool effect. Don’t you think???

I really loved the effect so I made some tags up using this technique for our team swaps last week.

Here is a close-up.

So why not give this technique a try. It is so cool and each time will work out different.

Have a happy, stampy weekend 🙂

LARGE TOTE BAGS ARE ALL THE RAGE!!!

May 22, 2015 Jenny Hayward

You might have seen lots of little Tote Bags around the internet??? They are great little gift bags to give those special gifts to others. A few years ago now I created a larger Tote Bag as many of them were great for card sizes or small gifts but if you have a larger gift THEN a larger Tote is needed right??? The Totes I shared way back then continue to be a huge hit on my blog and they have a large number of repins on Pinterest every week. SO, if you have missed it, I thought I would show you these again. I have another type of bag in the process at the moment and when I finally get to create them I will share that too.

So here is my Tote bags for you that you can make to give that special larger gift. (maybe a top or scarf or LOTS of chocolates!!!). 😉

You can find the tutorial to make these in this post HERE.

A little while after making these I decided it was time for an update.

You can find this Tote in this post HERE. I followed the original tutorial with a few modifications.

I would love to see your versions so send me a photo. If you make one then don’t forget to give credit. 🙂

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

“FIRST PLAY WITH AWESOMELY ARTISTIC!”

May 11, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last week at Leadership at the South Pacific Stampin’ Up! Convention we were given this brand new set ‘Awesomely Artistic’. I love this set. There are so many lovely elements so there will be lots of ways you can use this set. I really love the dragonfly. Yesterday I had a chance to play a little.

The base is Crumb Cake. Other colours used are Rich Razzleberry and Blushing Bride. The layout was loosely based on the clean and simple sketch #192. You can see that sketch in the PDF here. (There are lots of sketches on this site that can help you out when you are stuck for ideas. Check them out sometime).

This set will be available in Wood ($49.00) or Clear ($35.00) AUS. I think it will be one to have on your wish list.

Have you ordered your catalogue from your Demonstrator yet?? If you are in Australia and don’t have a demonstrator yet then contact me to have a catalogue sent out to you. This is just one of the lovely sets coming June 2nd!!! Not long to go now.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope your day is inky 🙂

I can’t believe how quickly the past few months have gone with Sale-A-Bration. There has been so many great products that are going to be sadly missed. What has been your favourite??? I have already mentioned a few of my favourites with ‘Lotus Blossom’ and ‘Big Day’. Then we had some fantastic new additions. Sadly not much time to play with them but the papers were gorgeous.

Here are some projects to share with you courtesy of Stampin’ Up! I don’t know who the original creators are so I do apologise but these showcase some of the gorgeous products we have enjoyed during Sale-A-Bration.

‘You Brighten My Day’ stamp. We do always have something to be thankful for and today I am thankful for my wonderful customers and my team for a great Sale-A-Bration.

Great gift bag with ‘Big Day’.

The lovely ‘Lotus Blossom’.

The fantastic ‘Irresistibly Yours’ Designer Series Paper. This looks stunning in gold!

So have you got your free Sale-A-Bration products yet?? You only have hours to go, so make sure you get them in to your Demonstrator. I will be adding my last orders in a few hours time so be quick!! I can ship anywhere in Australia.

Tomorrow is another day with a great new special and we can look at the Occasions Catalogue which has been a little neglected lately.

Thanks for visiting,

PAINTED BLOOMS MINI TREAT BAG!

March 2, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I am sure you have seen the little treat bags around the internet made with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets. Now I will be honest, I wasn’t going to get this framelite set. I can make up little bags myself- can’t I??? But I saw lots of cute versions and realised you get so many cute little “bits”. How cool! So OK, I had to get it 🙂

Here is my cute little bag I made a couple of weeks ago. I made a cute envelope using the bag die from the gorgeous Painted Blooms DSP. This is such BEAUTIFUL paper. Have you got it yet? I made a tag to fit inside it. The sentiment used here is from the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Simply Wonderful’. I coloured the flower from the set using the Markers. Wouldn’t this be lovely to give to someone special! I love that Blackberry Bliss colour.

Now this die set is not just limited to little gift bags. You can enlarge it and make larger bags or make gift boxes. I have played around a little doing this so I will have to show you soon.

Here is the Thinlet set for you to see all the “bits”.

Mini Treat Bag Thinlets (137547) $67.95.

If you want to find out more about this fun little die set you can check out the Stampin’ Up! video here.

Thanks for looking. Stop by and visit me again soon.

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.
