THE VERSATILE AVANT GARDEN!

March 29, 2017March 29, 2017 Jenny Hayward

The Sale-A-Bration set ‘Avant Garden’ was one of my early choices. I loved how versatile it was and I have seen so many different ways with it over the last few months.

Here are just a few more that was shared by Stampin’ Up! this morning. I thought I would share them with you.

Create a wreath, or clear emboss them and give the card a wash with watercolour, or what about some Palm Trees? I have been wanting to give that a go for a few weeks but time has been a bit short.

Only 3 days left for Sale-A-Bration. Don’t miss out on getting your free choices. If Avant Garden is not your choice there are so many other options and even some catalogue products.

Check them all out HERE.

Order Online HERE for those last minute orders.

LAST MONTH OF SALE-A-BRATION!

March 1, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Can someone tell me what happened to February?? It seems like I blinked and it is gone. I hope the rest of the year doesn’t go like that.

Being March it means that we are in to our last month of Sale-A-Bration. Another name for Sale-A-Bration would be FREEBIES!!! Because you get free stuff whether you Shop, Host or Join.

I thought I would just update you on how you can.

Spend $90, Pick one of the Sale-A-Bration items. (See the Catalogue link on the right).

Still time to book your own private Stamping event with me. I have limited dates though. You get an extra $40 of free products when the party order exceeds $400. That is so easy to achieve with a few guests.

This is the most exciting I think. I have had a number of people join my little team over the last 2 months. It’s so nice to have them whether they are hobby demonstrators (just want the discount) or if they want to hold classes/parties. You choose!

Joining Stampin’ Up! means you save money. First with your initial kit and then a minimum 20% discount every time you order.

TO JOIN – You pay only $169 (AUS). You get $235 worth of products for that PLUS…..

Choose an additional 2 free stamp sets up to the value of $179. AND there is no shipping to pay on all that! That’s $20 in itself!

In total you get $414 of products, but you are only paying $169. Fair Dinkum! You have to love free stuff. Have a look at your wish list. Is it longer than $169???

Not only will you SAVE BIG TIME though there are so many other awesome reasons too. Like lots of new friends (from all over the world), A great community of stampers within several different online groups, Endless inspiration provided by Stampin’ Up! and other fellow demonstrators.

Not sure?? Visit my page HERE which will answer a few questions. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask. If you are distance from me don’t let that worry you. With technology the distance becomes so much closer.

Look forward to welcoming you to my JEN’s Ink. team.

CATALOGUE REVIEW UPDATE!

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 Jenny Hayward

Finally I can share some of the fun from my Catalogue Review last weekend for the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogues. I had a session on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Lots of laughs and creativity was involved I can assure you. 🙂

Firstly, I always like to make little gift bags up for my lovely guests and spoil them with some “bits” from the new catalogue. (Also a chocolate treat is a must in the bags!). These are the little bags this time.

These are using the Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bags in the Annual Catalogue. You know I did mean to emboss these bags BUT …. Well that slipped my mind until afterwards. I used a strip of the gorgeous Falling In Love DSP and flagged the end of the piece. From a square of the Sweet Sugarplum cardstock I cut the larger flower from the Stylish Stems Framelits and then layered it on some Whisper White cardstock. I thought the centre was a bit plain so I coloured it with the Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil and lightly brushed it over with the Aquapainter. This lightened the colour a little so it matched with the Kraft bags. I went over it with the Clear Wink of Stella pen for sparkle, although you can’t see that in the photo sadly.

The sentiment is from the Dragonfly Dreams set which I had coloured the “thanks” with the black marker before stamping it. Then punched it out with the Duo Banner Punch.

These are the cards we made. The first one using Dragonfly Dreams Bundle and the Falling Petals Embossing Folder. I had Cased this off Pinterest changing the Embossing Folder and adding the touch of the Paper Doily behind it.

The second card was Cased off Pinterest too using the Sale-A-Bration sets Avant Garden and Delicate Details. I LOVE both these sets! Sadly I lost my little stamens from the Avant Garden set so we had to add a little dot in the centre of the flowers. Some were very clever and drew stamens in with the Smoky Slate marker.

I always forget to take a photo of the groups as it gets pretty busy. I snapped one just as we were finishing up at the Saturday session. Some people had already started to leave. (sorry!) 🙂 There was lots of creative mess happening.

You might have seen the card tin in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue? I have dressed this one up. Everyone who has a party in the next month or 2 with me goes in the draw to win one.

Maybe I could just give some extras away too. Mmm? If you want a party or your own private stamping event, let me know. I only have a few dates available so you better be quick.

There you have it. We had a product playground too for everyone to test out the pencils and a few other new products. That’s always good to test those things out.

Thanks for visiting me. Visit again soon,

DELICATE DETAILS AND A DRAGONFLY!

February 1, 2017February 1, 2017 Jenny Hayward

The last few days I have been busy getting ready for my Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Review this weekend. Lots of creating happening – even in the heat! I will get to share some of them shortly but I really wanted to share this one first. I was happy with the result.

I have used the Delicate Details stamp set. A free choice for Sale-A-Bration this year when you order over $90! This was my first pick for Sale-A-Bration but I have only just managed to ink it up.

I used one of the stamps to create a lacy effect by stamping in Memento ink onto Whisper White card. I lined each one up by eye. I have to say that was a little nerve racking! You could use a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (SAMJ) or similar tool. I always forget to pull my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig out. (or lazy!).

Once I stamped them – and breathed a sigh of relief – I then inked up the card. I haven’t got the sponge rollers yet so I used the brayer which is now retired. Funny that, my brayer is in the same box as my SAMJ. 🙂 I used Mint Macaron ink to add the colour gradually going from dark to light.

TO ASSEMBLE THE CARD:

A dragonfly was cut from the Copper Foil Sheet. It looks a bit more gold in the photo. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder on to a strip of Whisper White. I cut a banner end with scissors. It needed a little something underneath so I cut a thinner strip from the Copper Foil and cut the end of that too.

The inked piece was added to a Mint Macaron card base. Before I added the Dragonfly I twirled around some Copper Thread and added some Pearls to finish. The sentiment was raised up with Dimensionals.

You can check out the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle HERE at my store. It is $81.25 AUS. Maybe grab an inkpad or some cardstock to take you over $90 and you can grab the gorgeous Delicate Details set from Sale-A-Bration FREE (or grab one of the other great Free products). Check out the Sale-A-Bration catalogue by clicking on the link in the right hand side bar.

Have a lovely day/night. It is a little cooler here today and rainy which is nice so I am off to my stamp room again. 🙂

December 30, 2016December 30, 2016 Jenny Hayward

It’s been a big year of creating. I thought we would take a little recap of some of the favourite cards from this year. Perhaps you have missed them or would like to see them again. 🙂

If you click on the title of the card you can head directly to that post to find out more details.

Rose Wonder

Something For Baby

Card in a Box for a 2 year old.

Swirly Bird Pinwheels This card amazes me. It is just a simple funky card that I was playing around with one day with the Swirly Bird set. It has had a huge reaction on Pinterest with it being repinned 5,400 times!!

Ombre Detailed Floral Thinlits

Cookie Cutter z-fold

Cookie Cutter Tag.

I realised I had never posted this tag. I made this tag the same time I made the Z-Fold card above. It was just a simple tag and I didn’t bother sharing it. I shared it on a group I am on though and someone Pinned it to Pinterest. It has now been repinned 5,700 times! Sorry you missed out on seeing it. 🙂

Birthday Fiesta Llama. This guy just makes me smile. I had to share him again. 🙂

Star of Light Christmas

I am looking forward to another exciting year ahead of creating and sharing with you.

Be safe for the New Year.

TEAM CHRISTMAS PARTY!

December 16, 2016December 16, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday night was the last Team meeting of the year with a Christmas Party. This is the larger Inky Fingers Team I am in with Vanessa Webb. We are a funny bunch! 😉

Each month we get to share swaps although not everyone gets around to it. (I know I don’t!) I think being the last meeting and our Christmas party most people made a special effort.

These are the tags I made for a swap. I was pressed for time for anything too complicated. They are based on some tags I made recently and shared here. These use the ‘Holly Jolly Greetings’ set and some scraps of the Candy Cane Lane DSP. So quick to make. 🙂

These are most of the swaps I received in return.

What a fantastic selection of cards and little treat holders. (Oops! I forgot your gift bag Katie!). Look at that gorgeous Dragonfly card given to me by Vanessa. That’s a beautiful stamps and dies set coming out soon. 😉

Here are some of the crazy Inky Fingers Team. It is a very creative bunch of people.

I have to show you the little make and take we made. I have been wanting to make one of these for ages but haven’t had a chance to. Barbara surprised us all in getting us to make it. So cute! Just the size for a little Ferrero Chocolate or a Lindt ball. Something nice to add to a table setting or as a simple gift.

Thanks for visiting. How are your Christmas celebrations going? It has been a little crazy this end. I think we are now at the end of the end of year activities and presentations, classes have finished and cards have been sent out. Still to put up the tree and finish shopping. I feel it is never going to end! Never mind. We still have a week. 🙂

Have a wonderful day and stay sane,

MAKING LOOPY THREADS ON CARDS!

December 5, 2016December 5, 2016 Jenny Hayward

Last month I gave away these cute Pop Up Scrap Bins for everyone who ordered from me. I made up some cute cards as Thank You’s. The card was inspired by the Pop Up Bin itself.

Here is the bin again just for you to see.

The cards were small notecards measuring 10cm x 10cm (4″ x 4″). The black card mat was embossed with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder. A Gold Foil circle was cut with the Layering Circles Framelits and then stamped in Black Stazon with the sentiment from ‘Tin of Cards’. I looped around Gold Thread behind the circle before adhering it to the card with Dimensionals.

People have asked me several times how to make those loopy threads on the cards so when I was making this I made a video to show you. See that below.

(*If you receive this blog update via email then you might need to head to the blog post by clicking on the heading at the top to be able to view it. Just a note too, the last blog post on ‘behind the scenes in my classroom’ didn’t show the video if you received it by email so head to the last blog post for that one too).

I have just created a Youtube channel to share videos with you more easily so stop by to subscribe to keep updated. Find it HERE (Jenny Hayward _A Stamping Journey).

Thanks for visiting and sharing in my creative journey playing with ink and paper.
