COLOURFUL ‘LOVELY LACE’!

August 9, 2014August 9, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have been playing around with the ‘Lovely Lace’ Embossing Folder this week. As soon as I saw this in the Catalogue I knew I had to get it. I love all the detail in it.

Here is the first one. Since I had been playing around with the Blendabilities as well I thought I would do some colouring in.

For this card I embossed on Whisper White cardstock. I then just simply coloured to highlight the impression. The Blendabilities work better colouring on the card than the Stampin’ Write Markers as you don’t need to press hard to colour so you don’t effect the impression, and the colour blends nicely. I found using the fine tip on the Blendabilities worked better for the finer lines. So easy – and so therapeutic just sitting and colouring. 🙂

I just finished it off by wrapping around some Pistachio Pudding Thick Baker’s Twine. This was adhered to a mat in Pistachio Pudding and a card base in Lost Lagoon. I added a greeting from ‘Label Love’. The banners were cut from the ‘Bitty Banners’ Framelits. One from Daffodil Delight and one from the Silver Glimmer paper. They were then cut in half and adhered behind the label. Some Rhinestone bling was added for more sparkle.

Another card I made was very simple.

Simply emboss on white cardstock. Tie around some Island Indigo Cotton ribbon ( I love how soft and easy to tie this ribbon is!). This was adhered to an Island Indigo mat and then Whisper White card base. I punched out a scallop circle in Silver Glimmer Paper. The “For You” is from the ‘Hello There’ Hostess set. I will be making a few of these cards to send out to some special people this week.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂

HEXAGON HIVE SOCCER INSPIRED CARD!

July 17, 2014July 17, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Just a quick post as I race out the door to get this in the mail. I made this card up for one of my Great Nephew’s 9th Birthday. I have to get it in the post TODAY!

I realised I didn’t have a lot of stamps for the young boys, but Hey! with the World Cup Soccer that has been around this would work the trick.

I cut Black card with the Hexagon Hive Die and layered it on some Whisper White card. This was adhered to the Pacific Point Card Base. The greeting is from the ‘Hip, Hip, Hooray’ card kit and stamped in Pacific Point and cut with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. I cut a Real Red Starburst with the Starburst Framelits. The little yellow flags are punched with the Petite Pennants Punch.

I am sure the inside money would be more appreciated than the outside card so no need to go to too much trouble!! Hope you like it though??

Gotta run, Have a great day 🙂

CHEVRON TRAVELER!

July 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I wasn’t sure of this stamp set when I first saw it. How about you?? But with all my stamps before I buy them I do a little research on the internet to see what clever people have created with these sets. Sometimes I have a look at some cards with similar stamps or style that the set has. It gives me some ideas of what I might come up with. I decided that this set might just fill a hole in my masculine stamp sets – and I have to say I like it. I was playing around with this set the other day and created this card.

I was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers with a similar type of stamp set. I changed it a little and added the Starburst circles to it too.

The base card is Smoky Slate and I embossed a piece of Tangerine Tango card with the Chevron Embossing Folder. I stamped the train in black Stazon on Whisper White card and added the Washi Tape strips on the corner. This was adhered to a Smoky Slate card mat. The Starbursts were stamped in Tangerine Tango and Smoky Slate and raised up with Dimensionals. A simple card but HEYyou don’t need fancy for the boys 😉

Thanks for visiting me today.

SOMETHING FOR – A BABY BOY!

July 4, 2014July 4, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have a few baby cards to make at the moment and the set ‘Something For Baby’ has just arrived in time. If you have baby cards to make this set is great. I will tell you about the set below but I will show you the card first.

I have used Marina Mist and Real Red on this. I cut the little baby suit using the ‘Baby First’ Framelits from the Marina Mist card and then embossed it with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder. This folder is ideal for a cute baby type card. I wrapped around some White Baker’s Twine. On a piece of Whisper White card I pierced the baby suit from the ‘Eclectic’ Piercing Template set and adhered that behind the Marina Mist card. I adhered it all to the Marina Mist Base card. I stamped and cut the little tie in Real Red and adhered that with Dimensionals. (Don’t just think of this tie for baby cards what about for Dad for Father’s Day???). The tie adds a cute little touch. The greeting is from ‘Itty Bitty Banners’ and cut with the matching Framelits.

In the catalogue (p74) this is available as a bundle which is just fantastic as you save 15% off for the bundle ($80.50 W and $68.75 C). The Piercing Template is on p 218 is a great asset for this set and has piercing templates for the Tag Topper Punches, Star Framelits, Word Bubble Framelits and the Chalk Talk set. A very versatile Piercing Template set at only $13.95.

In cutting the Baby suit out for this card and a second one I didn’t want to waste the off-cuts so I made up some other cards similar to this.

The heart is punched from the 2 step Owl Punch. The Marina Mist piece at the bottom has been embossed with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder again. The greeting is from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’ and punched out with the Word Window Punch. I punched out a second one in Real Red and then cut it in half and layered it behind the white sentiment.

This is a little card measuring 10cmx10cm (4″x4″). The heart is punched from the ‘Itty Bitty Accents’ Punch Pack.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blog world. If you are in the US, wishing your a Happy 4th July. 🙂

“SOMETHING FOR BABY” CARD IN A BOX!

June 23, 2014June 23, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have just received the new “Something For Baby” set from the new Catalogue. It is so cute. I do have a few baby cards to make but I just had to make one of the ‘Card in a Box’ type cards first. I have to show you it.

Isn’t it the cutest?? (or can I say that about my own card!) I think all the images in the set are so cute and they all work together so well, PLUS no hand cutting. Just use the matching framelits!

”

It was such fun to put together. I have used the ‘Moonlight’ DSP paper stack which is also from the new catalogue. These paper stacks are great. The papers are just slightly larger than a card front so they are much easier to use and store. There are 48 sheets in the stacks with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. You can check them out when you get your new catalogue. I have used some of the new Incolors coming out – Hello Honey, and Lost Lagoon. I also added Basic Gray and Sahara Sand.

Here you can check out the side views.

Little booties and No, I didn’t have to hand cut these either! I added some White Baker’s Twine bows.

A little Bib with another White Baker’s Twine bow and a Rhinestone to finish it off.

These “card in a box” cards do take some time to create but the whole process is fun.

I have been busy with a lot more creating getting ready for my Catalogue Launch this coming weekend. I can show you all the creations after the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are enjoying some creating today.

PROJECT LIFE FOR YOU!!

June 10, 2014June 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Hands up if you have piles of photos lying around in boxes or they sit saved on your computer??? Yep, me too. I have tried Scrapbooking. I find it a complex process. I never have the right products and I can’t seem to convey what I want. It all just takes too much time. Well I think I have found the answer. I certainly want to organise those piles of photos I have lying around. Have you heard the buzz about Project Life? Stampin’ Up! have partnered with Becky Higgins to bring to us exclusive Project Life products to help you manage your memories in a simple, quick fashion. Check this video out for more insight.

So if you want to get organised then you can start ordering your products FROM TODAY!! Don’t delay. Those piles of photos are not going to go away!

Head to my store here to check out the products that are available to order now.

Others will be available to order from July 1st and there will be more introduced over time. Of course as Stampin’ Up! does best these products co-ordinate with all the Stampin’ Up! colours. Here’s a taste of just some of the products available now.

I have just received some Project Life products so I need to get some of these photos sorted. I hope to show you some pages over time.

Have a good day. 🙂

STAINED GLASS BLOOM!

June 5, 2014June 5, 2014 Jenny Hayward

It’s been a wet day here today. Just the day for some creating. I have wanted to use this technique with ‘Blended Bloom’ since I received the stamp at Convention a couple of weeks ago. So it was nice to have some time today.

I will explain the technique below but this is the card I finished up with.

I have used the Stained Glass technique on the flower.

To do this, I stamped the flower in Versamark on Vellum and added White Embossing Powder. This was then heat embossed. Then I turned the piece over and coloured on the back of the image. It gives a soft, subtle image. The colours I used were Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil. I cut the image out free-hand after it was done.

One thing I learnt (again) while making this card is to really think the card through at the beginning. I chose those colours because I really liked them but when I looked at my card supplies when I went to put the card together I only had the smallest piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock which was salvaged from another project that wasn’t completed AND the ribbon was a scrap of ribbon I had lying around. I managed to make it work though – I think!

I stamped the image from the ‘Postcard’ Background stamp in Bermuda Bay and added a few splodges from ‘Gorgeous Grunge. I wrapped around my little scrap piece of Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon and layered it on my scrap of Bermuda Bay card mat. This was layered on a Whisper White Card Base. The greeting is from ‘Perfect Pennants’. I stamped one in Bermuda Bay and stamped one in Daffodil Delight on Daffodil Delight cardstock and cut them both out and layered them. I added some Rhinestones to finish it off. (I am still not sure of those though yet!).

So Thanks for looking at my card salvaged from scraps and hopefully showing off this gorgeous flower. I hope you have had or are having a creating day wherever you are and whatever the weather.

Until next time,

Jenny
