STITCHED STOCKING!!!

Jenny Hayward

Just sneaking in while I have access to an ‘almost’ functioning computer.  I wanted to show you another card with the ‘Stitched Stocking’ Set.  I have used this set quite a bit this month and haven’t been able to show you very much, and this month’s promotion with this set is nearly over!

I CASED this card from Maggie’s blog here.   This is my card.

The card is Night of Navy and Baja Breeze.  On my card I embossed a square of vellum with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and layered this on a scallop square cut from the Scallop Squares Duo.   I stamped the stocking twice and cut the cuff and heels from the second one and raised them with dimensionals.  I added the stocking loop and a Rhinestone for ‘bling’ factor.  The sentiment is from “Many Merry Messages” and stamped in Whisper White.  A simple card but still classy – I think!!!

It’s nice to be able to stop by and show you something.  I hope to be able to get back here in the next few days.  Hopefully our computer will be fully functioning by then!

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.  See you again soon,

VINTAGE STOCKING!!

Jenny Hayward

It’s that time of year to get started on Christmas cards.  It doesn’t seem that long ago that I packed up all my Christmas stamps from last year.  The year has flown by.  This card I have to show you today is using a very new stamp set.  The Stitched Stocking Stampset will be available in our upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue out on December 1st.  Since we all need to get our Christmas cards done now Stampin’ Up! have released this set as a special promotion during October.  You can order the Stamp set for $53.95 (wood mount) or $42.95 (clear mount), plus there is a matching punch.  Isn’t that great!  It saves you cutting out all those little bits by hand.  The Stocking Tag punch is available for $33.95.  BUT, you can get the BOTH for Free!  How????  Hold a workshop and if the sales are over $450 (not including Shipping and Handling) you get the both for Free!.  How good is that!  So you just have to have a workshop now don’t you?????

On with the card.  I went for a vintage style for this one.

I ran a piece of Very Vanilla card through the big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and sponged over the edges with Crumb Cake Ink.  I layered this on Crumb Cake card and tied around some lace (my very last piece of this by the way.  Have to order some more).  Then I adhered this onto a Cherry Cobbler base.  I sponged a smaller piece of  Very Vanilla Card with Crumb Cake and stamped on the greeting in Cherry Cobbler from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  I stamped the stocking twice on scrap Very Vanilla card and punched out the top and sole pieces of one stocking and raised them up with mounting tape over the other one.  I mounted this on the Very Vanilla card piece with mounting tape.  I applied Glass Glitter on the top part of the stocking with some multi-purpose adhesive.  It is a bit hard to see the shine of the glitter.

This is a very simple card really.  You know this stamp set and punch are great not just for creating Christmas cards.  You might have discovered other ideas in your blog travels.  I hope to try some other fun ideas with this soon, so I hope I can show you some of them.

So have you started your Christmas cards yet?????  It might be time to start!

Thanks for stopping by.  See you soon,

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.
