LOTS OF JOY FOR CHRISTMAS!

December 14, 2015December 7, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a few months ago before the Holiday Catalogue came out and I was starting to plan for Christmas. It is probably about time I showed you. This is using one of the stamp sets in the Annual Catalogue – ‘Lots of Joy’ and using one of my “go-to” colour combinations of Island Indigo and Pool Party.

I first stamped the angled lines in Pool Party and then stamped the baubles firstly in Smoky Slate on a piece of Whisper White and then again on scrap card in Island Indigo and Pool Party. I punched these out with the 1 1/2″ (3.8cm) Circle Punch. They were raised up off the card and I added some Adhesive Rhinestones for the bling factor. The white card piece was matted on to some Silver Foil sheet BUT I want to show you a little trick to save your precious Silver Foil.

I cut the Silver Foil to size and then cut a rectangle in the centre. This can then be used for a later project. Check out the photo below.

Thanks for visiting me today. Have a great day 🙂

SNOWY OWLS!

December 10, 2015December 8, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I made this cute card at our stamping weekend and I haven’t shown you yet. Well actually I half made it and I had to finish it when I got home and that is probably why you haven’t seen it yet. I get lots of comments about this card at my classes. I CASED this from my friend Leonie who I think CASED it from Pinterest?? I will show you it then I will tell you about it.

Does this have the cute factor??? This is using the Owl Punch. The owl hat is from the ‘Snow Place’ Set and the antlers are cut with the ‘Snow Friends’ Framelits. I drew the “santa Belt” with the white gel pen. The greeting is from ‘Christmas Cuties’. The Moon is punched from a circle punch with a “bite” punched out with the circle punch again. I wanted to tell you about the background though and the card base.

Firstly for the card base I will give you the instructions but not the exact measurements as you can make it any size you like really. The card base width is a standard size card (so metric – 14.8cm). The length is the length of your standard card (metric is A4). Score the card length in equal thirds. Score the right hand end section in half again. So it is a bit like an odd-shaped “M” ??? Makes sense?? Yes!!! 🙂 On the back panel I cut another piece of white card to that size. On this piece I stamped the “splodges” from ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ in versamark and heat embossed in White Embossing Powder. I sponged over Soft Sky and Marina Mist and directly on the edges I sponged Night of Navy. I adhered that piece on to the back panel.

For the front I cut another piece of white card to the size of the front. I tore across the top edge. Then masked sections with scrap paper to sponge “hills” on to the piece with Pool Party – I think? I sponged around the whole front piece with Pool Party too.

Lots of punching but lots of fun to put together.

Thanks for stopping by now. I am off on holidays for 2 weeks. YAY! Don’t worry you won’t miss me too much. I have some posts scheduled.

PARTY WISHES SNEAK!

December 7, 2015December 7, 2015 Jenny Hayward

You have probably seen a few sneak peeks around your blog travels with some exciting new products coming in the Occasions Catalogue. Well I have a card for you today with a little sneak. When I went to Onstage last month we all got to play with some new products. Let me say – I think you are going to LOVE this catalogue. I say that everytime don’t I but really – you are. The fun new stamps, cool punches AND an awesome Big Shot Die Brush which is going to make cutting those intricate diecuts SO MUCH EASIER!!

Anyway, you will see all that very soon but for now let me show you the card. We all got to make a card front and we could complete it in to a full card when we got home so here is my finished result. A few new sneaky peeks here!!!

The stamp set I have used is called ‘Party Wishes’. The images co-ordinate with the matching ‘Party Punch Pack’ to punch out those little balloons, candles and cupcakes. Cool! The Designer Series Paper is ‘It’s My Party’ paper Stack which comes in 12″ x 12″. What else is new?? Love that new embossing Folder which is called ‘Confetti’ which I have embossed on to Mint Macaron cardstock. Then you have the co-ordinating twine in Mint Macaron and Black and there is also Melon Mambo and Black. You can’t see it too well on the card but I added some sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds on to the images. I have added it all to a Melon Mambo card base.

You will probably see a few different versions of this card around with these elements. I will share some more projects as I get to complete them. Yes, still not done yet but they will be soon.

Have a great day,

Jenny

CRAFT FAIR MAKE AND TAKE!

December 2, 2015December 2, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Now that I have shared a lot of the projects that I have made for the markets and Fairs I thought I would show you the Make and Take I had at the last Craft Fair event. It had to be quick and I hope impressive?? I made a quick tag. Of course with the very beautiful set ‘Wonderland’.

This tag was inspired by one from my friend Vanessa. Simply stamp the trees in Garden Green on a piece of White cardstock and stamp again to stamp a fainter impression. Tear a piece of the Winter Wonderland Vellum Stack to adhere at the bottom. Punch out a small star with the Gold Foil and add a Rhinestone. At the top punch with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and tie off some Garden Green Striped ribbon.

It was a simple one for even those who had never stamped before and they loved it. I don’t think you can make a bad project with this set really. Can you??

Did you realise that this set will not be available after January 4th?? You better grab it now. Don’t regret it. Now how many times have you debated about a stamp set and then after it is gone you realised you REALLY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT!!!! Don’t regret this one.

Order it at my Online Store NOW! Head HERE. Please use the Host Code: DRVPX7DB

Now before I leave you I thought I would show you my display at the last Fair. We were all squashed in but that was OK right?? This set up was similar to most of the events I have done recently.

A close up of the shelves with the boxes and other of the gifts. The Easel Calendars were on the shelf above which you can’t see.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon,

ANGEL WITH THE FESTIVE FLOWER BUILDER PUNCH!

November 19, 2015November 19, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I found this idea on Pinterest some time ago by a Demonstrator friend Delys. It’s a cute angel using the Festive Flower Builder Punch. How clever!!! It’s always good to find different ways of using the Stampin’ Up! products. I made the angel up some time ago but only recently added it to a card.

I will show you a link to Delys’ blog shortly so you can make your own but I will just give you some details on the card.

It took me some time to make the card as I was wondering how to make it without the rest of the card taking the attention away from the angel. So I simply layered it on a white oval and matted that on a Gold Foil Oval. This was adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base which I had adhered some of the gorgeous Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack. I had wrapped around some Gold Cording Trim and added the greeting from the Christmas Greeting Thinlets Dies cut from Gold Foil Sheets. What do you think????

So do you want to make your own?? Here is the link to Delys’ blog that shows the pieces you need. Go and check it out.

Thanks for visiting. Have an happy day,

Jenny 🙂

MORE WEEKEND CHRISTMAS PROJECTS!

November 6, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Back to more of our Stamping Weekend projects. I will share some more of the Christmas ones I did.

This one I CASED from Pinterest from http://www.bekka.stampinup.net and I changed it up a bit. I have used ‘Lighthearted Leaves’. Isn’t this such a versatile set!! You can use this for Christmas and any occasion. I added my card to a Cherry Cobbler base. The vellum is the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum in the Annual Catalogue. The greeting is from ‘Wondrous Wreath’ which I heat embossed in Gold. I finished it off with some Gold Twine and the centres of the leaves I added some Rhinestones that had been coloured with Sharpies.

I love these little penguin dudes. How cute are they!! I have CASED this from my friend Leonie. It is longer than the standard card to fit them all in. You can dress these dudes up anyway you want and cut them with the matching Framelits.

This is the inside of the card. I forgot to colour his nose!

This next card we CASED from Pinterest too. This is using the set ‘Be The Star’. This is not your typical Christmas set but it is great to use other sets for Christmas. I tore a strip of DSP from the ‘Home For Christmas’ pack and adhered that down the side of a Thick White card base. I curled up the edge a little. I stamped the smaller stars in red near the torn edge. I stamped the other stars in Pool Party and Real Red and cut them out. The greeting from ‘Lots of Joy’ is stamped in Black. The “splodges” are from ‘Gorgeous Grunge’. I added some Rhinestones to the centres of the stars for some added sparkle.
