MANHATTAN NEWLYWED!!!

Jenny Hayward

I saw this idea a few weeks ago in my blog travels and have wanted to use it.  I finally got some time yesterday and created this card.

Card: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Cheerful Treat DSP (hostess DSP).

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Ink: Bashful Blue.

Other: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Modern Label Punch, Adhesive Pearls, White Taffeta Ribbon.

Do you notice the dress?? Check it out with a closer view.  Do you recognise it????

This was created with the Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder.  I found the idea on Amy’s blog here.  Although Betty Button was apparently the original creator.  The photo below shows the section of the embossing that you use.  Simply emboss the flower and turn it upside down.  The section is in the bottom right.

Now do you see it??  How clever is that.  Just cut around the outline of the embossed image and you have a gorgeous dress.  (Note:  Don’t worry about that extra embossed line above the top of the dress.  Just cut across the top of the dress.  I just realised I added that in).  I really like this idea.  Some people are just so clever!!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your weekend.

USING YOUR BLOSSOM BOUQUET TRIPLE LAYER PUNCH!!!

Jenny Hayward

You might have seen these new Triple Layer punches in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.  They are great.  You can create various layers and patterns by assembling the punch outs in various ways.  I thought I would put together a chart to show you some of the ways you can layer these punches.  This is using the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.  I used the colours from the Ice Cream Parlour ribbon and buttons that I had lying around.  They are Pacific Point, Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.  I hope you can see them clearly enough???

I think this is just the beginning of what you can do with this punch.  Maybe you can come up with some other suggestions.  Here are some close ups of some of them.

Apart from the various flowers you can create a tag  with the outer scallop and a centre.  You can pierce a hole in the top and add some twine to tie it on to your card or project.

Layer all the different punch outs together for a fancy flower, or create a cute embellishment to add to a card!

I had a lot of fun putting this chart together and I think it will be very useful.

This punch works differently to the other punches, so I came across a few videos on YouTube to see how they work.  You can check this one out here if you need some tips.

Have a play with this punch and see what you can create.

Have a great weekend.  We have a long weekend here, so I’m not sure what we will get up to.  I really hope I can get some stamping in.  With school holidays at the moment I am not getting much done.  That’s ok, we have been doing lots of other fun stuff!!

Thanks for stopping by,

A SCALLOPED EASEL!

Jenny Hayward

It is my Mother-in-Law’s birthday today.  I knew she would be expecting something special, so the pressure was on!  Her favourite colour is red so I wanted to use this colour.  After much contemplating and hours trying to put this together, I finally finished!  AND she was pleased!!!!

Here it is.

I created a standard easel card base, but for the top I cut a scalloped circle using the Big Shot.  The flowers were made using the 2-step Bird Punch.  The Whisper White circle was cut with the Circle Scissors. I then ran it through the crimper one time then turned the circle 1/4 turn and ran it through again to create a faux seersucker effect, if that is what you call it.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments from the Autumn Mini.  So, what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
