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

ANOTHER GREAT YEAR!

February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I made a card a few weeks ago to get ready for my Card Buffet. I wasn’t happy with the finished card but with the encouragement of my lovely blog friend Patti, I touched it up a bit. Here is the stepped-up version for you Patti. 🙂

I stamped the swirly Happy Birthday from ‘Another Great Year’ onto Whisper White card and adhered it to a Whisper White card base. I also stamped this onto Tempting Turquoise card and cut the banners off and adhered them over the banners on the white card. It was a simple white on white card. I have seen a few stampers create white on white cards and they always look so classy and crisp. I love the look but can never get it to work right. It looked a bit plain. What to do??? If I ripped it apart and mount it on a coloured card base it was only going to get all scrunched up. So I stamped the little Macarons from the stamp set. I coloured the centres of them with the Markers and then used the aquapainter to spread the ink out. This was a really risky move. If I stuff up the stamping or colouring, then whole card is ruined. But, what did I really have to lose!!! I added a few Adhesive Rhinestones for dazzle. I was pleased with the end result. What do you think???

I love this set ‘Another Great Year’. It is such a bargain at $41.95 Woodmount or $33.95 Clear mount. I think you need this set in your collection. You can buy this directly at my Online store here or contact me to purchase it.

ANOTHER GREAT YEAR BIRTHDAY!

January 29, 2014January 29, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I think this set from the new Occasions Catalogue is going to be very popular. Don’t you love this big swirly ‘Happy Birthday’?? I stamped this in Black Stazon on some of that free ‘Sweet Sorbet’ DSP that you can pick up during Sale-A-Bration. Gotta love FREE DSP!!! LOL I layered this on Raspberry Ripple card base and Summer Starfruit mat. I added some little banners from the set ‘Banner Blast’ in Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit. Now this set also has a co-ordinating punch to cut those little banners. No hand cutting!!! These are another free choice with Sale-A-Bration. So many choices!!

I added the little cupcake from the stamp set ‘Another Great Year’. How cute is this. I punched it out with the 1 1/4″ circle and then layered it on a 1 3/8″ circle in Raspberry Ripple. I have a close-up.

Now don’t look too closely at the colouring. I coloured the cupcake with the Aquapainters and inkpads. I didn’t realise how bad it was until I saw this photo. Sorry about that. I wanted to show you the sparkle though on the icing. Does it look good enough to eat???

Have you checked out the new Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration brochure yet??? You can view it online in the link in the right hand column OR do you want your own copies to drool over?? Drop me a message and I will get one in the post ASAP.

Until next time, Happy Stamping.

CRAFT FAIRS PART 4 – NOTE CARDS!

January 23, 2014January 23, 2014 Jenny Hayward

We have come to the last in my series of Craft Fairs now. Today I am going to share with you the cards I made to sell. You have to have cards to sell now don’t you???? Time was limited so I couldn’t spend too much time on them. I had a number of Christmas cards from past classes so they were fine but I wanted some Different Occasions cards. I ordered a couple of packs of Notecards and Envelopes. With only 5 days to go from when I received the order I knew they needed to be simple and quick so I kept them to one layer cards. Well, I managed to create 40 cards in under 3 hours. Here they are. I have added full-size images so you can see them clearly.

I used the Butterfly Bigz die to cut some Butterflies from DSP. Some I added some Pearls but others I just kept plain. I added a sentiment with Black Staz On. (I use Black Stazon as I find it stamps better than the Basic Black inkpad).

Using DSP I punched out some birds with the 2-step Bird Punch and added a sentiment at the bottom again.

I created some simple cards with ‘Timeless Talk’ and various sentiments.

I went all out with colour on these ones. Here I have used the set ‘World Treasures’. I inked up Peacock in Daffodil Delight and then sponged randomly with Pumpkin Pie and Tempting Turquoise. Each one of these turned out differently. It’s funny how you got various colours when they mixed together. You know what they say: Blue and Yellow make green!! These were my favourite cards.

Here is a close-up.

So there you are. What has been your favourite project that I have showed you this week?? Maybe there are some great ideas for your next fair/market or even as gifts for a special occasion. I hope you have enjoyed seeing them. I am glad I have finally got to share them. If you are after more ideas check this post out that I did some time ago for another fete/fair that I went to.

Now I can go back to sharing some projects I have been making with products from the new catalogues coming out NEXT WEEK!! I am so excited for these.

Come back and visit me soon,

CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR US!

December 27, 2013December 27, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. Hard to believe after all the craziness leading up to it, it is now all done for another year. Why does it get so crazy!!! We had a lovely Christmas Day though. Church Christmas Eve and time with the family for Christmas Lunch. It was nice and relaxing.

Today I thought I would share some special hand-made cards we received for Christmas. They are all so gorgeous and it is always great to see new ideas. I won’t go in to too much details of the cards. If you want to know more about them or a closer look just let me know.

This first group is from my close Demonstrator friends. How lucky am I!

These 2 are from some special blog readers who have now become good friends. The one on the left is from Lynda. Thanks Lynda for your continued loyalty and encouraging comments. Isn’t this a clever way of using ‘Lovely as a Tree’. That set is so versatile. The one on the right is from my lovely Blog friend Patti from the the US. How cute is that snowman??? It has been lovely to get to know Patti over this past year. Thanks for always stopping by Patti and encouraging me along the way. 🙂

This next group is from some of my friends. Some of them are from customers that I can now call lovely friends. Aren’t they all so gorgeous??

I hope you might feel inspired by this lovely mix. I love looking at them and touching them. They bring a smile to my face.

Thanks for stopping by. Come and visit again soon,

PUNCH KOALA CHRISTMAS!

December 24, 2013December 24, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I made this special Christmas card for my blog pal Patti in the US. I thought she might like a little Australian Christmas. I know I can share it now because she has received it. The idea was CASED from a sample on a Convention board a couple of years ago so sorry I don’t know who to give credit too. If you know then let me know.

A number of punches were used to create my little Koala. I had fun playing around getting his shape right.

1 3/4″ circle, 1 3/8″ circle, 1 1/4″ circle, 1″ circle, Extra-Large Oval, Large Oval, 2 step Bird Punch, 2 step Owl Punch, Boho Blossoms, Itty Bitty Shapes pack, Word Window Punch. His kerchief was made with a 2cmx2cm square of red card. I also added some sponging and a little Dazzling Diamonds with 2 way glue pen and used white gel pen for his eyes and black marker for his mouth. I think that about covers it. He is very cute.

For the rest of the card, the greeting is from ‘Wishing You’ and I cut the edge of the Gumball Green card with the zig-zag edge from the Finishing Touches Edgelits. Just a little strip of Gumball Green Satin Stitched Ribbon finishes it off.

Happy Christmas Patti. Happy Christmas to all my blog readers. I appreciate all of you who stop by and visit me. I hope to share lots more in 2014 so keep visiting. 🙂

TAG-IT CONGRATULATIONS!!

December 20, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I know that we are in the Christmas season but I had to show you this card. Yesterday Josh received his HSC marks. For my overseas readers this is the mark achieved from the final exams at High School. The mark determines the University courses they can apply for. Josh achieved an awesome result and we are very proud of him. He worked really hard. So I wanted to let him know. This is the card I made for him yesterday.

I have used the stamp set ‘Tag-it”. Did you know that Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 from the sale of this stamp set to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Isn’t that great! I stamped it first in Island Indigo and then with Versamark and embossed it in silver. Then cut the trophy out and adhered it on to the stamped image. I added a small Rhinestone in the middle. I think it is still OK to have bling on a boys card, don’t you think??

Once this was done it was all layered on a Silver Glimmer circle punched with the 2 1/2″ circle punch. I embossed a strip of Pool Party card with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder and layered a strip of silver glimmer paper underneath. I stamped the base card with ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ before assembling it all together.

Here is a close-up.

OK, back to Christmas preparations. We have only just got the tree up, there is still shopping to be done and presents to wrap. Better get back to it!

‘SANTA’S LIST’

November 14, 2013November 14, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I have had this card in Draft form for weeks – and then I got a little excited with the Envelope Punch Board. So I thought I would take a break from the Punch Board for today and show you this. Don’t worry there will still be more projects to come soon with that. I can’t believe how many visits from Pinterest I have had over the last week with my Punch Board projects. It is nice to have you all stop by. Visit anytime 🙂

This was another card I made at our last Stamping day together (a few weeks ago now. OK a couple of months ago!). I borrowed Leonie N. stamp set of ‘Santa’s List. This card was CASED from her. How good am I, not only borrow her stamps but CASE her cards as well! Oh well! When you are on to a good thing ……………….

Here is the card.

I embossed the card with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder. The Santa is from ‘Santa’s List’ He is simply stamped in Cherry Cobbler and I used 2 way Glue pen to apply the Dazzling Diamonds around his beard, cuffs and hat. It does sparkle so nicely in real life. The circles were cut with the Circles Framelits. I used a little strip of ‘Season of Style’ DSP. There really is not much more you need to do.

I hope you enjoyed this little distraction. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you can visit again soon,

Jenny
