CRAZY ABOUT YOU JOY FOLD!

August 11, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Just a quick post for you. Back to more projects from our Crafty Weekend. It has been some time since I have done this type of card. Here is this one for you.

I have used ‘Crazy About You’ stamp set and ‘Hello You’ Thinlets to make this card in Mint Macaron and Soft Suede. This is a JOY FOLD card. It is very easy to make. It is a basic size card but cut your card vertically and score halfway. The front flap is cut in half. Then a smaller folded card is adhered to the inside and they overlap when folding. If that all makes sense??? You can find a tutorial to make your own on Splitcoaststampers HERE. It was fun to make. I must make another one again very soon.

Today I have been playing with some new toys from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue. I will share them very soon.

Enjoy your day whatever you may do.

Come and visit again soon,

I KINDA LIKE “KINDA ECLECTIC”.

May 30, 2014May 30, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I know I said I would post about my swaps I received and this is the second post today and still no swap photos. I am getting there but I just had to show you this card I made yesterday. I was really excited about it. This is using a stamp set coming out in the new Catalogue called ‘Kinda Eclectic”. We received this at Convention last week and I just had to play with it yesterday.

I cut a window from the Whisper White card. It would be easy with the Square Framelits but I didn’t have them with me at our stamp day yesterday. I cut the square out using my Stampin’ Trimmer. This piece I then embossed using the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. The starburst image in the window is stamped with Baked Brown Sugar Ink. The butterflies are stamped with Crisp Canteloupe. It is great that these fit the current Butterfly Punches (the Elegant Punch and the Bitty Butterfly Punch)!!! The leaf image I stamped in Pistachio Pudding and cut out freehand. The Birthday greeting is from Apothecary Art and stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. I snipped the ends of the greeting piece into banners. A little bling goes a long way to finish it off.

Hope you like this. I can see lots of uses with this set. I will play again soon. OK, I will show you my swaps next post. 🙂

SCALLOP TAG TOPPER TRI-FOLD CARD!

March 10, 2014March 10, 2014 Jenny Hayward

When I first got my Tag Topper Punch I thought it would look cool to make a fold out card with it. I had seen a couple around my blog travels but wasn’t sure how to go about it. Well I made one AND I have put together a tutorial just for you so you can make one yourself.

Here is some close-ups.

Now on to the Tutorial.

SCALLOP TAG TOPPER PUNCH TRI-FOLD CARD!

1. Cut your base card to 14.8cm x 21cm. (I used Baked Brown Sugar). On the 21cm side score the card at 7cm and 14cm.

2. Slide the edge of your card (long side) in to your Tag Topper Punch. It takes a little wiggling but you can get the card in and line it up in the first scored section in to the punch. You can roughly line the card up between the rectangle shape on the top of the punch where the image of the punch is on. See the photo.

Punch the card. Then move it along to the next scored section. Line it up and then punch again. Repeat for the last section again.

Trim off the excess tabs to level them off.

NOTE: The card does get a little bent when you punch it out but just press over it and when you add the card to the front you don’t notice it.

3. Cut your card mat pieces and whisper white and DSP (designer series paper).

Card mats (I used Crisp Canteloupe) measures 6.6cm x 12.2cm (3 in total).

Whisper White (x2) and DSP piece(x1) 6.2cm x 11.8cm. The DSP is from Venetian Romance.

I stamped one of the Whisper White pieces with the flower from ‘Happy Watercolor’ in Baked Brown Sugar and coloured it with the Aquapainter and inkpad.

To finish the card off I sponged the white card pieces and the DSP with Crisp Canteloupe ink and adhered them to the card. I added some Gold Washi Tape and also some gold sequins over the card (still not sure about these???). Then I tied some Crisp Canteloupe Ruffled ribbon through the holes and tied them off with Linen Thread.

Here it is again – the finished off card.

Do you like it????? Why not go and make one for yourself.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me in your day. I do appreciate it as I know your time is precious. I hope you are inspired.

See you next time.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT – HOW ABOUT CRAFT FAIRS!!

January 20, 2014January 20, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I have been wanting to share these projects with you for a couple of months now but with all the busyness of Christmas they were just put aside. So, before we get right in to Sale-A-Bration and sharing any more from the new Occasions Catalogue coming out I thought I should show you these NOW!! At the end of October last year I had a stall at the local craft fair here. I only had 2 weeks to get organised but I made a number of different projects to sell. I know that when I do craft fairs I go searching for ideas on the internet and I am sure you do the same too if you do markets or fairs. These projects are nothing startling but I thought I might share them with you if it might help you with ideas. I will share these ideas through a number of posts this week.

Firstly, since it was leading up to Christmas I created some little Christmas treat boxes.

I found this idea on Pinterest. This is using the Milk Carton Die. I cut 3 of them – 2 in Gumball Green and one in Cherry Cobbler. I wrapped Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon around the 3 and added some mini clothes pegs to seal them. On the front of the boxes I added scallop circles punched from retired Christmas paper and cut ‘JOY’ from silver Glimmer paper.

Another quick project was some Mini purses using the Petite Purse die. I used some retired DSP and added some simple embellishments on the front. Inside I added a few chocolate treats.

I have some more projects to share with you tomorrow so stop by again to check them out.

A DAY FOR WEDDINGS!!

January 13, 2014January 13, 2014 Jenny Hayward

What a beautiful day for weddings on Saturday. Firstly, my nephew and his beautiful partner were married in the most gorgeous rock canyon setting surrounded by 200 family and friends. Before I show you the card I made for them I have to show you a photo. Aren’t they beautiful????

P1110142

Now onto the card. I used the circle Thinlets to create the card based on a similar design I made for another wedding recently. You can see that card here. For this card I have used the Modern Medley DSP and silver glimmer paper. The “Mr and Mrs” from ‘Label Love’ was clear embossed after I stamped in versamark although you can’t see that too well. I made the card base longer than the thinlet die so it could create a flap to fold over.

Here is a photo of the side. This card is really hard to take photos of so sorry for the odd angles. I added some hearts punched from the silver glimmer card too. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the card.

Now for the second wedding card. This was for my lovely friend Andrea’s daughters wedding. Unfortunately we couldn’t make it but Josh and Carlie went along. I am sure you will see more details of the wedding on Andrea’s blog here when she can catch her breath a bit! Here is the card I made for Skye and Mitch. It is the same design. Why change it, although you would think I would have had this done in record time but I think it took me longer than the other 2 put together!!! I just couldn’t get the colours happening together.

For this card I used the ‘Venetian Romance’ DSP and Pistachio Pudding card base.

Another odd angle!! I wanted to show you the other side of the circle. I cut a scallop circle from silver glimmer paper and stamped one of the labels in Pistachio Pudding. The greeting is from ‘Fabulous Phrases’ and punched out with the 1″ circle punch to layer over it. Not sure that I should have stamped the greeting in Island Indigo though???

There you go. Hope you like??? Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon,

I STAMPED!!!

January 9, 2014January 9, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Yes, I stamped! Not an amazing revelation really BUT it has been 2 weeks since I had touched a stamp. That’s a long time for me. It has been a good break though. I opened up one of the new Sale-A-Bration sets I received last week and created not ONE but TWO cards!! Whoo Hoo!! Here they are. OK, they are both the same BUT….

This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest (sorry not sure who by though). I changed the card to a standard size card. I think the other one was a 10cmx10cm one. I used the stamp set ‘Perfectly Penned’ and stamped this on a small strip of Whisper White in Black StazOn. I added a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper underneath and added the small banners. The Banners are from the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Banner Blast’ which is one of the Free choices you can get during Sale-A-Bration starting on the 28th January. You can get a little Banner punch to punch them out too. No hand-cutting here!! The Whisper White strip was then adhered to a Whisper White Card base. The colours I used for the Banners on the card on the left were Pacific Point, Soft Sky and Tempting Turquoise. The banners on the right hand card were Real Red, Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo. I was going to make some other colour combinations but I stopped there. I wasn’t sure whether they were a bit plain. What do you think???? Here they are individually to get a closer look.

I have just received my preorder of some of the goodies coming up in the new Occasions Catalogue. This starts on January 28th. I can’t wait to get creating with these goodies and share the projects with you. There is so much to love. I am having a little trouble deciding what to start with first!! If you would like your very own copy of the new Occasions Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration brochure then drop me a message and I will get one to you as soon as I can.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny
