STAMP-A-LATTE HOLIDAY BLOG HOP!!

September 19, 2014September 18, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Welcome to the First Stamp A Latte Holiday Blog Hop. We all have some great projects from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue to share with you today. You may have just come from Narelle’s blog Here or you may be starting out here. Either way sit back and enjoy your little hop around.

Today I am focusing on the Snowflake Thinlets. I really like this Thinlets set. They are so versatile for a number of different occasions not just Christmas. Not only does it contain the Thinlet to create the Flip card but it has a 2 different size snowflakes, a tree, a heart, banner and 3 words (Brrr, Joy, snow).

On to my projects. I have made a cute little tag box and a flip card.

Firstly, the card…

I have used the Nordic Noel DSP with Baked Brown Sugar and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The snowflakes stamped on the card are from the ‘Cheerful Tags’ set. They co-ordinate so well with this die I think. I cut a large snowflake in Cherry Cobbler and a smaller one in Baked Brown Sugar to layer them together. The Rhinestone in the centre was coloured with the Blendablilites.

What made this Thinlet die even more useful is that recently I discovered that you can cut the centre large snowflake out. I was watching the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Thinlet video here and they showed this little tip. I will show you below.

Cutting a Thinlet Snowflake.

Cut a piece of DSP or cardstock larger than the shape and cut it out with your Big Shot.

Turn the Snowflake to line it up in the Die the other way to cut it out completely. I found it easier to lay the Die upside down on a cutting plate and place the DSP or cardstock into the Die rather than try and line the Die over the paper. Then you can just lay the other cutting plate on top and cut it.

This is what you end up with. How cool!

Now on to the box.

Once again layering some cut Snowflakes on the top. The greeting is from the ‘Good Greetings’ set that you can get for free this month. Check the blog post here if you missed those details.

Now on to the inside.

I used the Nordic Noel DSP again. I added a strip of DSP on the top of the acetate lid but it doesn’t wrap right around. I lined the bottom of the box too. This one was the reverse side of the DSP strip used on the lid. It holds these cute tags I made. I just made 3 but you could easily fit lots more in there.

Here they are close-up.

I used the 1 3/4″ circle Punch to cut the Baked Brown Sugar circles. The tree and snowflake are cut from the Thinlets. The Star is one from the Star Framelits set. These Banners were cut with the Bitty Banner Framelits. Here is the back. The “to” and “from” is from the ‘Cheerful Tags’ set again.

OK now you have had a photo overload. I will spare you anymore so you can be on your way. If you would like to know how I made the cute Tag Box then stop by tomorrow and I will post a tutorial. I think I have taken up enough of your time. You need to get on to the next blog now. Thanks for stopping by today 🙂

Remember to stop by and comment on each blog so you can be in the running for a prize. You will go in a draw for a Trim the Tree DSP Stack and a pack of Rhinestones (Australian Residents Only & Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators are ineligible for the Blog Candy). Now on to Virginia’s blog Here.

JUST ADD INK #229 – RAINBOWS

September 2, 2014 Jenny Hayward

It has been a while since I had a chance to play along with a Challenge. I had a little time today and when I saw the challenge at Just Add Ink this week I thought this would be a good one to try. This week ‘ Rainbows’. We certainly have had a lot of rain recently to relate to this but I did like the fun colours to work with. Here is the inspiration.

Here is the card I came up with. It certainly took a lot longer than I thought it would but I am pleased with the final result. I love all the bright, happy colours.

This was the first chance I have had to use the Star stencil too so that was fun. I sponged sections with Tempting Turqoise, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo. This was adhered to a Melon Mambo mat and Tempting Turquoise card base. I added some Burlap ribbon across the front. I coloured sections of the stamp from ‘Amazing Birthday’ with the markers. I stamped some again to raise them up too. This was adhered to a piece of Melon Mambo card and raised up off the white card front. What I discovered too was the small star in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack co-ordinates nicely with the small star framelit. So I punched out the small star in Pumpkin Pie and then cut out the star using the framelit around the punched one. I cut another star in Melon Mambo and adhered them together. I was quite excited about the result. I punched out some more stars in Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. I added some Brights Candy Dots to the centre of the stars too.

Job done! Challenge Completed!! I hope this brightens your day wherever you are.

If you want to join in the Just Add Ink challenge then head to the blog post here. There is not a lot of time left.

ORNAMENTAL PINE!

September 1, 2014September 1, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have made quite a few of these cards recently to send out with the Holiday Catalogue. I really liked this stamp set when I first saw it. Most days I see these type of pine trees when I go walking. I love that you get some beautiful images Plus special greetings all in the one set.

I have used Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler which might be a popular colour combination this Christmas. I love the richness of them together. I embossed the Mossy Meadow piece with the ‘Decorative Dots’ Embossing Folder. I stamped the pine branch in Mossy Meadow on Whisper White and then cut it out with the Labels Framelits. I stamped the pinecone in Baked Brown Sugar ink and cut it out. This was raised up off the White stamped piece with a little Gold Twine bow added. The Greeting was stamped in Cherry Cobbler onto a strip of Baked Brown Sugar card and then I flagged the ends. This was raised up off the card too. A simple card but one that is easily reproduced many times I think.

Have a great day,

Jenny
