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,

Jenny 🙂

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.

STAMPIN’ UP! HOME FOR CHRISTMAS PLAYTIME!

September 12, 2015September 12, 2015 Jenny Hayward

As demonstrators we could order from the Holiday Catalogue weeks ago. When I received my preoder I didn’t know what to play with first. Do I stamp or punch or do I cut??? Such a dilemma. After I had a little play I made up a card using the Home For Christmas product suite. This was one of the first cards I made. I will be honest I am not completely happy with it. Not sure why but maybe you can help me out there. I shared it on my Facebook page a few weeks ago and realised I hadn’t shared it here. So for your viewing pleasure – or not! here is the card. 🙂

I loosely based the layout of the card on Freshly Made Sketches #142

I do love the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch I have used here. I used markers for the greeting and punched it out using the Decorative Label Punch. A little sparkle with the Silver Glimmer Paper and Rhinestones and finished off with some Real Red Pom Pom Trim and Silver Ribbon.

I am showcasing this suite in the ESAD Blog Hop TOMORROW (Sunday) so head back here at 6.30pm AEST. We are all focusing on the great products in the Holiday Catalogue. I do hope you can join us.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS!!

September 2, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Have you checked out the Holiday Catalogue yet??? What is on your wish list?? There are so many great products it is hard to choose. I have the link in the right side bar for you to check out if you haven’t already. I was playing with some of the new things they other day I made up this set of cards to show you. They are using the new ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets. I have a little trick I wanted to tell you about.

I will show you each card close up so you can see them better. The layouts were inspired by some cards I had seen on Pinterest.

I cut a circle from Cherry Cobbler card and then embossed it with the Woodland Embossing Folder. There is some lovely Vellum sheets in the Holiday Catalogue but I don’t have them as yet so I have used the Gold Fancy Foil Vellum from the Annual Catalogue. I adhered some Whisper White card on to the back of the vellum. Don’t you just love the cute Reindeer clips??? I tied some Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine onto them. I cut the words from the ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets (p34) from Gold Foil Sheets.

TIP: In this set of Thinlets there are 3 words “peace”, “merry” and “jolly”. Now I didn’t want jolly for this so when I cut the word I then carefully snipped off the “ll’s”. If you cut it off near to the “l” letters then you have a little tail. I adhered the tail of the “y” over the “o” tail. Does that make sense? Using the new Fine Tip Glue Pen (p 43) it makes it easy to adhere the letters together and also adhere the letters to the circle. You only need a very little bit let me tell you. I found that you needed to just hold the piece down for a minute to take hold.

Hope you like these cards. I’m loving playing with this new stuff. Go check the catalogue out if you haven’t already done so.

Have an awesome day 🙂

DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE 2015 HOLIDAY CATALOGUE???

September 1, 2015 Jenny Hayward

It’s September 1st which means ….It’s Spring!!! Well in the Southern Hemisphere it is BUT even more exciting – (can I say that??) – Yes, even more exciting is the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue is live TODAY!!!

You are going to absolutely love this. There is so much AWESOMENESS!! Now click HERE to go and view it online. (I will add the link in the sidebar shortly for future reference).

I have been playing with products in this catalogue for a few weeks now. (Just one of the benefits of being a demonstrator!). I have posted a few projects recently and I have more to share with you too. Yesterday I had a quick play and made up this card. This was inspired from some cards on Pinterest.

I have used the new ‘Woodland’Embossing Folder. Now this is towards the back of the catalogue (p39) and can be overlooked especially by us downunder as we don’t celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving and people tend to stop after the Christmas products; BUT keep going there are some awesome products that you will be able to use anytime. The stamp set is ‘Jingle All the Way’ (p12) and I love those sweet wooden Snowflake Elements (p23). I have finished it off with an Adhesive Pearl.

So now I am going to stop talking so you can go looking at the catalogue. If you want to get any of that goodness and don’t have a Demonstrator then let me know. If you would like a Catalogue sent to you then let me know too. I know you can read it online but it is so much nicer to have the real thing. 🙂

Happy Reading 🙂

Jenny
