BLACK AND WHITE WEDDING!

April 17, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I made a card today for a lovely friend who is getting married tomorrow! I thought it was safe to post it here as I don’t think she will be visiting any time soon. I think she has other things to do. 🙂

She is having a black and white themed wedding so of course I had to make the card black and white. For this card I CASED myself. It makes life easy doesn’t it!! This is the original card I made in Crumb Cake and Black. Here is my black and white version. Sorry about the lighting. It is rainy and overcast today.

I used the ‘Everything Eleanor’ stamp set and ‘Petite Pairs’. After I stamped the swirl on the white card I ran it through the Big Shot with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. I stamped the flower onto scrap white card and cut it out and then raised it up with dimensionals. Then a few pearls and some white Organza ribbon adds the elegance factor. I hope she likes it. I do hope the rain stays away tomorrow though. 🙂

Have a stamping weekend. I am making progress on my Convention swaps. I might actually get them done this weekend.

Thanks for visiting.

SHELTERING TREE!!

April 9, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I have had a little time this week to play with this set ‘Sheltering Tree’. I have seen so many great cards with it that it was time that I joined in!

There are some cute little images in this set and it is fun to put together. This first one was inspired from these cards Here. I made this card a standard size though. This is using Strawberry Slush and Pistachio pudding inks and the card mat is Baked Brown Sugar. (I only have a few weeks left to indulge in these colours so I think I will be trying to make the most of them!!).

This next card was a fun one to make. I CASED this card off a friend but for my card I added the Delicate Designs Folder along the bottom edge giving it a little texture. I stamped the little flower stems and flower heads. These line up together so well. The flower heads were stamped alternately in Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie.

I think you just have to get this set. It is such fun and there are so many different ways to use them. I will have some more play soon BUT there is less than 3 weeks to our Stampin’ Up! South Pacific Convention AND I have still yet to start swaps. I hope to over the weekend but then I have been saying that all week!!! So stay tuned on that venture 🙂

SOME THANK YOU GIFTS AND QUICK UPDATES!!

April 8, 2015 Jenny Hayward

The weather has been a little ordinary the last few days BUT that means it is inside days AND that means some creating time!!!! Today I have been busy creating some Thank You gifts for some lovely people who ordered during my recent ‘Celebrate Sale-A-Bration’ event that I ran for my newsletter subscribers. These were fun to put together.

I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets dies to embellish the cello gift bags. They were filled with some of the Irresistibly Yours DSP and Sheer Perfection Vellum Sheets. I think they might like these as both of these items were sold out at the end of Sale-A-Bration so at least now they get a little sampler. 🙂

NOW I have some quick Stampin’ Up! Updates for you.

1) Don’t forget this week’s Weekly Deals. If you love your Big Shot then you will love these great discounts this week.

2) The Retirement List will be released on April 21st. That is not long AT ALL. I will add the link here on that date for you to find out what will be leaving us. It’s always sad to say farewell to our favourites but that means that it makes room for some new exciting products!!

3) With the Retirement List out we will say Farewell to the 2013-2015 Incolors. These are the colours that will be leaving us. I am a bit sad about these colours leaving. I have loved every one of them. NOW is the time to stock up on cardstock, ink refills, inkpads etc. Please don’t wait until the retirement list is out as these items are the first to sell out within the first day or 2. Grab them now! Seriously, you don’t want to be disappointed and miss out on your supplies of these colours.

4) I am selling off my Retired stamps and Big Shot Embossing Folders and Dies. Have you checked them out yet?? Check out the page HERE. (Australian Residents Only).

SHEER PERFECTION VELLUM!

March 26, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last post I shared a video from Stampin’ Up! colouring the new ‘Sheer Perfection’ Vellum sheets. Have you checked that video out yet??? I have been playing some more with these sheets. I love the patterns on them.

For this first card I have layered 2 of the sheets together. Underneath is the small dotty sheet with the flower sheet over the top. I layered this on Smoky Slate and the base card is Calypso Coral. The flower is from the set ‘Crazy About You’. I stamped it twice in Calypso Coral and then cut around one of the smaller flowers to layer on top. The greeting is from ‘Teeny Tiny Sentiments’. Honest opinions please – I am really not sure about this card but I thought I would show you anyway. What do you think???

I don’t often use Pear Pizzazz as a colour but I have taken to it recently. For this second card I cut out the centre from a piece creating a window using the Deco Labels Framelits then I adhered a piece of the leaf patterned vellum that that had been coloured with the Pear Pizzazz Marker. This is very easy to do but just be sure to colour ON THE BACK OF THE VELLUM. 😉 The whole piece was then adhered to a Pear Pizzazz card base. I added a few little butterflies “fluttering by” stamped from ‘Papillion Potpourri’. To colour them I picked up some ink from the inkpads with my Aquapainter. Then I wrapped around some of the Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine underneath the greeting from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’. I was much happier the way THIS one turned out.

Less that one week to go to get your Free Sale-A-Bration Free choices. Just $90 order and you can pick any of the Sale-A-Bration items – and don’t forget the new recent additions to the Sale-A-Bration pickings. So many choices!

COLOURING SHEER PERFECTION VELLUM!

March 23, 2015 Jenny Hayward

You have probably seen one of the new release product choices for Sale-A-Bration – the Sheer Perfection Vellum. This is so gorgeous. I am going to focus a little on this product this week. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is.

It is 24 sheets of patterned vellum paper. You receive 2 of each design. There are 12 designs all up and the paper measures 15.2cm x 15.2cm (6″x6″) sheet. Have I said how gorgeous it is already??? It truly is.

You can leave this vellum as it is and layer it on your cards OR you can layer it over another colour cardstock for the colour to show through OR colour it with your Markers.

To show you how easy it is to colour this vellum, Stampin’ Up! have put together a very quick video of 2 cards that are a cinch!

Here is the video.

You can receive a pack of these papers as your Free Sale-A-Bration gift with your $90 order. Now there is only 1 WEEK LEFT OF SALE-A-BRATION so don’t delay. I will show you some more cards using this paper later in the week. Until then, I hope you find some creating time for yourself. 🙂

IRRESISTIBLY YOURS DSP INTO CARDS!!

March 16, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I was playing around with the ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP the other day. If you are not familiar with this paper already it comes in 12″x12″ sheets. There are 6 different designs and you get 2 of each. Each design has a glossy like pattern on the sheet which is like it is clear embossed. You can simply add your colour either by sponging or brayering. Gently wipe off the card with a tissue which removes the ink from the embossed parts leaving a gorgeous coloured pattern. You can create your own patterned paper to match the colour of your project. I had these little pieces just for a card size and thought I would make up some cards using them. Here they are for you.

Firstly, using Crisp Canteloupe card and ink and stamp sets ‘Papillion Potpourri’ and ‘Hello There’. A little Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper was punched using the 1 3/8″ Circle punch and this was layered under the “For You” greeting although that is a little hard to see. I also stamped the smaller image from ‘Daydream Medallions’ and cut it with the matching die. I added some Crisp Canteloupe Thick Baker’s Twine to finish this card.

This one was in Marina Mist and using ‘Something For Baby’ and ‘Itty Bitty Banners’ stamp sets. Finished off with some Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine. Gotta love that tie!!! 😉

This is probably my favourite. This is Lost Lagoon. I added some splodges from ‘Gorgeous Grunge’ and the greeting is from ‘Teeny Tiny Sentiments’. Then simply a sparkly butterfly cut from the Silver Foil Sheets and then some Lost Lagoon Satin ribbon to finish off.

So have you got your ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP yet?? It is one of the Free choices during Sale-A-Bration with your $90 order. There are so many other great Sale-A-Bration products if this Paper is not your choice. There is only 2 weeks left of Sale-A-Bration so you can’t muck around on this. Order directly Online Here or drop me an email with your order. I can ship anywhere in Australia.

Thanks for stopping by,
