BLAST OFF – CARD IN A BOX!

March 5, 2014March 5, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Have you seen the ‘Card in a Box’ floating around the internet??? I had to make one. I did share this on my Facebook page last week because I was so excited to show someone but I thought now I would show you. If you don’t want to miss seeing some of my creations make sure you have ‘LIKED’ me on Facebook. My link is on the right hand side.

Anyway, back to the card. The other reason I was so excited about it was that it was the first time I had used the set ‘Blast Off’. I love this cute set. I can’t wait to use it again soon.

Wouldn’t any young boy love this for the Birthday??? I used the ‘Watercolor Wonder’ DSP for this. Who would have thought it would be so cool for it. If you want to make one of these then check Tanya’s blog out here. She has the video there. Tanya has the measurements to make these to the Australian standard size envelopes which is great. This box is just the easiest. You have to make one yourself. I have to say decorating the box takes longer than making the actual box. They are so fun though.

The “box” will fold flat so you can put it in an envelope and it is still fine to post. Check it out here. Isn’t it just the cleverest! I can’t wait to make another one soon.

I have to show you this photo too. We are getting our bathroom redone at the moment. My craft room is opposite the bathroom so I thought I would evacuate for a while. Just as well I did. The whole top floor of our house is covered in dust from the jack-hammering of the cement. I had closed the door to my craft room but somehow those tiny specks of dust makes their way through the smallest little cavities. I moved out to my studio which is out the back of our house. I just hold my classes here but now I have set up here I think I will stay for a bit. It’s getting a bit messy already. I am starting to create for an exciting event coming up soon. That’s a shame you can’t see anything yet!! 🙂

Hope your week is going along OK??? Hope you are getting some time for yourself to create.

Happy Stamping,

GOLD IS IN!!

February 24, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Gold is the new HOT colour at the moment. It is very in vogue. Did you know that??? We have lots of lovely gold products in the Occasions Catalogue. I played around with the new Gold Fancy Foil Vellum a couple of weeks ago. It is available in silver too. There are 9 sheets per pack (12″x12″ size sheets). There are 3 each of 3 different designs. They are just beautiful to use on their own or as a little addition to a card or project. One of the projects I made was this cute little bag.

It is always hard to tell the size by a photo. So check it out against an Embossing Powder pot. Isn’t it just the cutest???

They are the easiest little bags and can be made up in no time. I have tied the bag off with some of the gold cord that comes with the ‘Good as Gold’ card kit from Sale-A-Bration.

These would make nice little wedding or party favours. If you would like to make this bag you can get the instructions from Sam’s blog here.

Thanks for stopping by. Now go and get your gold on!!

THIS DAY FORWARD WEDDING!

February 4, 2014February 4, 2014 Jenny Hayward

The last couple of weeks/months have been really busy. My Mum was married on Saturday so there has been a lot to do in preparing for the wedding and starting to pack up her house to move. It was a great day on Saturday though and I am very happy for them both. Now I know there is a lot of excitement with the new products from the Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration but I thought now was a good time to show you the invites and cards I made for them before it gets too much later.

Firstly, the engagement card. I bought the set ‘This Day Forward’ especially for my Mum. She loves birds and I knew that she would like it for the invitations as well. Of course, I was assuming I was making them though! I will just tell you in advance in case you don’t work it out, my Mum likes blue!!! 😉

I started using the set for the Engagement card.

Is is hard to tell but I stamped the image in versamark and Marina Mist ink and then clear embossed it. I matted it on Silver Glimmer Paper.

See the border??? This has been created with the Chevron Border Punch. I cut 2 strips and punched along them. Then I flipped one over and wove one through the other. I saw this idea on my blog travels somewhere. I added some Rhinestones in the centre and around the image (although they seem to look a bit black in the photo). Then I tied around some striped organza ribbon which is now retired.

Here is the Wedding Invitation. I needed to keep it simple as there was not a lot of time. These needed to get out before Christmas so it was crazy for a week or two.

I was going to heat emboss the image again but that was going to take too long. After I stamped the image I embossed the bottom edge with the hearts from the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. The “You’re Invited” is from the set ‘A Dozen Thoughts’. This piece was then matted on Marina Mist card. I added a white Taffeta ribbon bow and a Rhinestone. For the card base I cut an A4 piece of card vertically and then scored it half way. I embossed the inside edge with the hearts once again. I cut the front bottom edge with the ‘Adorning Accents’ Edgelits. I forgot to take a photo of the inside but I had the wedding details on a separate piece of paper and attached with 2 silver brads at the top.

Now for the wedding card. It was 3 days out from the wedding and I thought maybe I should get the card made. So of course I used ‘This Day Forward’ again. I didn’t have a lot of time to make one but I was pleased with the end result.

I stamped the image with versamark and Marina Mist and added clear embossing powder and heat embossed this. Along the bottom edge of the card I dry embossed this with the ‘Delicate Designs’ Embossing Folder. I added some white organza ribbon. The sentiment from the set was heat embossed as well and then I cut a banner shape from one end. This was raised using Dimensionals. I added 3 Rhinestones to the hearts.

The inside was just kept simple.

OK, so just a couple of family pics. If you are friends with me on Facebook you would have seen these so I don’t want to bore you too much with these again.

Here is my Mum and her new husband.

I have to add my gorgeous girl. Carlie was Bridesmaid and she looked beautiful!

Thanks for looking. Hope I didn’t bore you too much. All this was a whirlwind done in about 3 months. So I might just come up for air now – maybe!!!! This year is turning out crazy. Never fear though creating is what keeps me sane – or saner! I will endeavour to share my projects with you as best I can. I have been having fun playing with all the new products so I will show you some of them soon.

CRAFT FAIRS PART 2 – GIFT IDEAS!

January 21, 2014January 21, 2014 Jenny Hayward

In today’s post on Craft Fairs I thought I would show you some Gift Ideas that I made to sell.

Firstly, some little notebooks. I found these at a local discount shop. I was going to cover them but time was running out. I think this was one week out to the Craft Fair! The notebooks had a plastic type plain cover so I decided just to stamp directly on them. They are not as exciting as I could have done BUT ……

I used Black Staz On and stamped images from ‘Timeless Talk’. They were simple but cute!

Next I made some Whiteboard Frames. Another idea from my Internet travels.

For these, I just grabbed some photo frames and you can use whiteboard markers to write directly on the glass. For the insert inside I used different pieces of DSP that I had. I created the heading using MDS and printed this on Whisper White card. I added a trim from card punched with the Scallop Border punch. I cut some butterflies using the Butterfly Bigz die and and Beautiful Wings Embosslits and adhered them to the front. They make really nice gifts in no time.

Some more projects tomorrow so come back and visit.

Jenny

PS. One more Week to Sale-A-Bration and the new Occasions Catalogue starts. I am mailing out the catalogues now. Drop me a message if you want them mailed out to you.

IT’S A CRACKER!!

December 13, 2013December 13, 2013 Jenny Hayward

I have been wanting to share this with you for a while. Finally I can! Giving Gift cards are popular at Christmas so why not dress them up in a novelty gift holder. Here is a Cracker Gift Holder made with the Envelope Punch Board.

So how can you make it?? Check out the tutorial below.

1. METRIC: Cut card 14.8cmx14.8cm. Score your card at 6cm and 12cm. Fold on the score lines.

IMPERIAL: Cut card to 6″x6″. Score your card at 2 3/8″ and 4 6/8″. (I hope those sound right as I am not too sure of the correct way to represent it!!). Fold on the score lines.

2..On the folded edge, line the left hand side of the card on the Envelope Punch Board at 2.5cm (1″). Punch. It is a bit hard to punch through so press firmly.

Flip your card over to the other end. Line up at 2.5cm (1″) and Punch.

3. Now punch on the front bottom edge of the holder. It is easier to open it out. Line up at 2.5cm (1″) and punch. Then flip and punch at 2.5cm (1″) on the other end.

4. Fold up where the narrow scored line is. Does this make sense?? The part that forms the pocket. Turn it over. Line up at 2.5cm (1″) and punch, flip the holder over and punch again at 2.5cm (1″) on the other end.

This is how it should look when you fold it out.

There you have it. I hope this makes sense. Please comment/email me if you are unsure. Sometimes it is hard getting all the details in writing.

To assemble this, add Sticky Strip inside on the narrow edge on both ends. Adhere together to form a pocket. Now decorate it as you like and then add your Gift Card.

Why not make it a Stampin’ Up! Gift card to give this Christmas?? These ones are available especially from me (Australian residents only).

Now go and enjoy making your own Christmas Cracker Gift Card Holder.

Until next time,

Jenny

FESTIVE FLURRY WORKSHOP CARD!

November 29, 2013 Jenny Hayward

It’s been a bit quiet here don’t you think?? Well don’t you worry I haven’t been sitting around doing nothing. Life is at a super crazy pace. With the end of year activities, Christmas preparations and family stuff there hasn’t been a lot of time to stop. I have hardly been on the computer at all! It’s late but I thought I should share something this week. This is a card we have been doing at my parties over the last month or so using the very popular ‘Festive Flurry’ set and the popular Christmas colours this year of Island Indigo and Pool Party. It is simply stamping and layering the different sized snowflakes.

For the bling factor I added a large Rhinestone to the centre. The greeting is from ‘More Merry Messages’ which is on the Carry-over list.

One time when I made this card I stamped the wrong size snowflakes. Ooops!! Not to worry. No point wasting them. I just created another card layering them in a different way.

I will be back soon. I have some fun projects that I can’t wait to share with you. I think after this weekend things might be a little clearer – maybe – hopefully!!

Come and visit soon and check it all out. Have a great weekend everyone. 🙂

For my US visitors, I hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with your lovely family and friends.

CHRISTMAS BON-BON WITH THE ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD!

November 11, 2013November 11, 2013 Jenny Hayward

The Envelope Punch Board is one HOT item at the moment. I have been having so much fun with mine. Last week I made this Christmas Bon-Bon. I shared it on my Facebook Business page and realised I hadn’t shown you all yet. (If you haven’t LIKED me on Facebook yet, make sure you look me up so you don’t miss out on some of the projects I post).

These are so easy to make. You can whip up a few of these at a time. They will be great filled with some treats to give out at Christmas. You can find the video on how to make these here. I have used the lovely ‘Season of Style’ DSP. For the tag I have used ‘Chalk Talk’ stamped in Gumball Green and the Christmas Bauble is from the ‘Best of Christmas’ set. Here is a close-up of the tag if you want to see it.
