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

FAIR PROJECTS UPDATE!!

November 26, 2015November 26, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last week was a very busy week. I had 3 markets/fair events. It was great seeing some familiar faces and meeting up with new people. I thought I would share some of the projects I made for the markets. Having 3 in the week was interesting also to see just how different things sold. So I will let you know about that too.

A little while ago I picked up some lip balm balls and sticks reduced at a local store so I grabbed those to make some cute holders for them.

The tutorial to make your own Lip Balm Boxes can be found HERE. They are so quick to make.

Here are some tiny Lip Balm Purses. Both of these created some interest.

Here is a close-up from the side. (sorry I realised I hadn’t met the tops together neatly before I took the photo!)

These are cute little purses. It was great to use up some retired papers too. You can make your own from the tutorial HERE.

Now I made these fun little packs too. There is a cute poem on the back of them and I forgot to take a photo of these. I will add them below.

The Reindeer Poop was very popular at one event at a school. It appealed to some boys sense of humour, or was it that there was no other chocolate sold there at the time?? 😉 I made some more bags up but then I didn’t sell one bag at that craft fair. You never know!

Here are the poems. I found these on Pinterest.

REINDEER FOOD

Just Sprinkle on the lawn at night,

The moon will make it sparkle bright.

As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam,

This treat will guide them to your home.

REINDEER POOP

I heard that you’ve been naughty,

So here’s the inside scoop,

All you get for Christmas,

Is this bag of Reindeer Poop!

I have more to show you but that is enough for one post. Pop back again and I will show you some more in the next post.

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.

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,

Jenny
