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.

We all made this card at the same time. It is interesting to see how different they turned out in different colours. Aren’t they great???

Thanks for stopping by.

I will see you with more weekend creations next time.

GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #GDP009

November 3, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I know I am in the middle of sharing my stamping weekend projects with you but I have been so busy with Christmas cards and making projects for the upcoming fairs that I wanted to break out and make something else today. I thought maybe a challenge!!!!

Challenges are great to take part in as they really extend your creativity and makes you think and try new things. What challenge to do though??? I had the Global Design Project email fresh in my Inbox so why not have a go!! I haven’t had a chance to play along with these challenges at all yet – so TODAY WAS THE DAY!

This week’s challenge was a Colour challenge with the colours – Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron and Watermelon Wonder. Well that takes care of the colours but you still have to work how what to do for the card. What stamps? What techniques?? So many options. You could choose another challenge to join in with as well if you like but I wanted to do some watercolouring. Here is my card that I came up with.

I dusted off my ‘Perfect Peacock’ stamp. Do you know this was the first time to ink this up. (Don’t tell anyone!).

I washed over the Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron and Watermelon Wonder inkpads with the Aquapainter on to Watercolour paper. When that was dry I stamped the peacock in Versamark and then Gold Embossed this. The greeting from ‘Petite Pairs’ was embossed in Gold Embossing Powder too. I didn’t want to add too much to the card as it would take away from the beautiful detail in the peacock. So I just added some little banners in Gold Foil and the Gold Vellum from the ‘Winter Wonderland’ Vellum Stack. I finished this off with a bow from the Gold Cord. I pierced some holes in the bottom right corner too as it looked a little bare. It was all adhered to a Watermelon Wonder card mat and Mint Macaron card base. (They look so much brighter though in the photo!).

I hope you like it?? Now I will just head over to the site to add this. Pop on over HERE to the site and you can check out all the other cards that have entered – and why not have a go yourself!!!!

I will be back with more Weekend creative projects next time.

STAMPING WEEKEND PROJECTS!

November 3, 2015November 3, 2015 Jenny Hayward

A couple of weekends ago we had another fun stamping weekend. These are great opportunities to get lots of stamping done PLUS lots of laughs!!! I thought I would show you some of the projects I made. I think these will be over a couple of posts so be prepared. 🙂 I realised that I hadn’t shown you all the projects from the last one so I might have to get back to that later. For now, here is some of my creativity from the weekend.

One of my main goals for the weekend was to make some projects to sell at a few upcoming vendor fairs I am doing. I started off making some bottle tags. These are great for the Christmas period as Wine is a popular gift to give. Why not hang a tag off your wine gift!

These ones are using the ‘Wondrous Wreath’ stamp set and Framelits.

These ones I have used the ‘Cozy Christmas’ stamp set and the gorgeous ‘Home for Christmas’ paper.

These took a while but they were fun to make. I found a few different versions and tutorials for these when I went looking. It all depends on how you want to decorate them or whether you want them longer to fold up the card to make a pocket to tuck a treat in as well. For mine the card measures 20cm x 6.5cm (8″ x 2 1/2″). Score your card at 6.5 cm (2 1/2″). I punched out the circle using the 1 3/8″ circle punch.

I have to say these were the only projects I got made for the Vendor Fairs. I got a little distracted with some other fun stamping projects. 🙂

After making these tags I had lots of circles punched out. What is one to do??? Not waste them now! I used a lot of them on a card. I had some idea in my head but wasn’t sure how it would turn out. Check it out though.

I laid the circles out on a piece of Whisper White for the card mat. When I was happy with the arrangement I glued them down and then ran the piece through the Big Shot with the Stars Embossing Folder. Then I used markers on the greeting from ‘Cozy Christmas’ and cut it out using the ‘Tags and Labels’ Framelits and layered this onto a Gold Foil tag. I wrapped around some Gold ribbon and then layered it all on to an Old Olive card mat and then a Real Red card base.

Next post I will show you some more Christmas projects I made.

Stop by again soon,

SLEIGH RIDE DIORAMA CARD!

October 29, 2015August 8, 2016 Jenny Hayward

In a previous post I showed you the swaps I received from last week’s team meeting. I thought I would show you the project we all made. Vanessa showed us how to make this. It is so cute! It is a Diorama card using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits and the ‘Jingle All the Way’ stamp set.

This is only small. I should have take a side view photo perhaps. It is box-like and inside you have different layers creating the scene. I have used Pool Party and Night of Navy. I finished it off with a Snowflake Element and some Silver cord. I can’t share the exact dimensions as Vanessa has used this in a class and it was kind of her to share it with us. I have found one on Splitcoaststampers Here which is very similar so you can make your own.

Thanks for visiting.

Enjoy your day,

COLOURED CHRISTMAS CUTIES!

October 23, 2015October 23, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I shared my cute angel card a few posts back. If you missed that you can head to that post HERE. The day I made that one I coloured a few images from this ‘Christmas Cuties’ stamp set. I was in the mood for colouring! I am not a colourer usually (is that even a word??) but sometimes it’s relaxing just colouring away. That must be why colouring books are such the rage now. Anyway, back to these cards. Firstly I will show you the images as I coloured each one with a different medium. Then I will show you the cards.

The angel (the one shared in a previous post) is coloured with watercolour pencils. The middle elf is coloured with watercoloured pencils. The next elf is coloured with the aquapainter and inkpads.(Don’t look too closely at the colouring!). As you can see though you end up with a different intensity of colour. I will show you the finished cards now and I will show you one coloured with the Stampin’ Write markers too.

The watercoloured pencil elf.

The base card is Mossy Meadow and I have adhered a piece of ‘Home for Christmas’ DSP to the base. The rest of the card was made up of “bits” left lying on my table. The greeting I decided not to use on a previous project. I had heat embossed it in White Embossing Powder. I added some Silver Glimmer Paper behind it. Then I raised up my little elf on this. It was a bit plain at the top so I punched out a scrap of Silver Glimmer Paper with the little Banner punch. I added a silver metal button and some silver cord. I kinda liked this cute card. 🙂

The next one coloured with the Aquapainter and inkpads.

I embossed a piece of white card with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder and added this to a Real Red Card base. Then I simply layered a red and a white oval and raised up my little elf with dimensionals. The greeting is cut from silver foil sheets from the ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets. What a happy chappy he is! I thought I would add a little dazzle and add some Dazzling Diamonds to his hat.

Now I will show you another card I made a bit earlier than these cards. This card was made for a recent Stamp A Stack and was inspired by one on Pinterest. On this elf I coloured him with the Markers. The colour is a bit more intense.

That’s all for my little Christmas cuties. Check out these cute images. They are available for $40 wood or $30 clear mount. You can order them directly through me or at my store HERE.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you can have some fun colouring soon too.

Stop by and visit again soon,

CHRISTMAS CUTIES ANGEL!

October 7, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I wanted to colour the other day. I haven’t done a lot of colouring especially that Blendabilities aren’t around. I pulled out the ‘Christmas Cuties’ stamp set that is available in the Holiday Catalogue. There are some really cute images in this set and I played around with different mediums. I will show you these over the next week or so.

Now I did say I haven’t done a lot of colouring! I wanted to pull out my watercolour pencils that have sat dormant for so many years. I hadn’t played with them a lot before that anyway. SO, here is the end result with them. I put together this card. I am not completely happy with the colouring BUT I like the card. The layout is based on the CAS challenges (Colour and Sketch for Clean and Simple cards). You can find the blog post Here.

Isn’t this angel sweet?? I stamped this on the Thick Whisper White Cardstock and it was then matted on Smoky Slate card. The base card is Marina Mist. The greeting and the “splodges” (from ‘Gorgeous Grunge’) are heat embossed with silver Embossing Powder. It is hard to tell though. I finished it off with a silver doily and Silver cord.

There you have it. A little play with my watercoloured pencils again.

Thanks for visiting,

DELICATE ORNAMENTS ON BERRIES AND BOUGHS!

September 28, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I was playing around with some left-over Stamp A Stack kits the other week. I just made a quick card up with one of the kits left. I thought you might like to see it.

The card base and the large ornament is in Bermuda Bay. I embossed the white card with the ‘Boughs and Berries’ Embossing Folder. On this card I added another ornament from the ‘Delicate Ornaments’ Thinlets cut from the Silver Foil Sheets to give a little sparkle. The greeting is from the ‘Wonderland’ stamp set. A little Silver Ribbon finishes it off.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you have a wonderful day,

A DIFFERENT FLOWER WITH THE FESTIVE FLOWER PUNCH!

September 18, 2015September 18, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a few weeks ago but only had a chance to show you now. When I received my Festive Flower Punch I had to have a play and create a different flower than the traditional one. That’s what you do right??? 🙂 I made a card up with the flower. Since making this flower I have seen some great variations on Pinterest. I have to say I do like those ones a lot so I will have to make those too. Here is my card and I will give you the details of the flower. You might remember the small flower that you could make with the wing of the 2-step bird punch?? Well this is it’s big brother 🙂

I have a chart below to show you how I created the flower so I won’t say too much about that. For each of the pieces I sponged them with ink. I have used Rich Razzleberry for the flowers and Old Olive for the stems. See the pearl accent?? I was trying to work out what to add. I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl but the silver didn’t go right so I created my own. I punched a circle from the Gold Foil Sheets using the smaller circle from the Owl Punch. I adhered a pearl to the centre and added the both with a glue dot onto a small bow from Whisper White Baker’s Twine. I really liked this addition. The greeting is from ‘Birthday Blossoms’ and I punched one corner with the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch.

Here is a chart to create your own flowers.

So this punch is very versatile. Not just for your Poinsettia flowers. I can’t wait to make some other versions.

Here is the punch if you haven’t noticed it. The punch can be found on P 31 of the catalogue and is $31.00 AUS.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a super awesome weekend and you have time to create. I have my Holiday Catalogue Launch tomorrow so I am looking forward to sharing some fun projects using these great products from the Catalogue.
