CATALOGUE LAUNCH REVIEW!

June 15, 2015June 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I thought I would share some of the things from my launch on the weekend. It was such a fun time and I am sorry if you couldn’t make it. 🙂

Firstly, I have to show you my butterfly wall. It is a bit hard to photograph. The lighting is not the best. It is a bit overcast today when I took these photos.

I will show you some close-ups. I have used the Butterflies Thinlets and the cute new Incolor Blossom Accents.

These are some of the treat bags I made for my lovely guests. Sorry I didn’t take photos of all the flower colours. These were last minute things as my order didn’t arrive until the 11th hour. The glue was still drying when the first guests arrived 🙂

I used the large Cello bags. I added some of the sheets from the ‘Cherry on Top’ DSP stacks and added a doily. I cut some Balloons and banners with the Balloon Framelits and added a chocolate treat and some post-it notes.

It is hard to tell in the photo but I ran the bag through the Big Shot with the Boho Chic Embossing Folder.

Here is a close-up of the pegs for the bags. I punched out a flower with the Petite Petals Punch and adhered a flower onto it with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This was then adhered to a little peg. It was a simple, cute idea. I got the idea from a lovely friend of mine 🙂

I thought I would share the Colour Comparison chart for the new Incolors. It’s a good way to see how they fit in with other current colours. (Once again sorry about the lighting! I really have to do something about this). 🙂

Next post I will show you the Make and Takes we did. I think that is enough photos for one day. 🙂

CURVY KEEPSAKES HANDBAG!!

November 16, 2014November 16, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I am sure you have seen all the amazing creations around using the Curvy Keepsakes Framelits. They are so clever. I have been making some projects myself with them and I will show you these another time. When I first saw the Framelits I thought it would make a cute little handbag. Recently I have seen some floating around the internet. I thought I would show you my Christmas version – and it uses the set ‘December Wonder’ that I have been focusing on this past week.

I am sorry I didn’t take a side-on view. It would give you a better idea how it looks. I will try and update this later. To create the bag I have used some of the Nordic Noel DSP. I just cut the paper to size to fit half of the Framelit, the section with the curvy handle. I cut 2 of these out. Where the base is I trimmed off about 2cm (3/4″). I added Sticky Strip to one of the bases and assembled the two together. You can add some little chocolate treats and tie around some ribbon and add a tag. For this tag I stamped the “Very Merry” in Garden Green and punched it out with the 1″ circle punch. I cut one of the Oval tags that come with the Curvy Keepsakes framelits from the Gold Foil Sheets and layered them together with a little Real Red banner cut from the Bitty Banners Framelits. I added 3 small pearls on the tag to finish and hung that from the ribbon with Whisper White Baker’s Twine. A cute treat bag in no time!!

I hope you enjoyed the projects this past week with the ‘December Wonder’ stamp set. It is a fun set. This is available in the Holiday Supplement Catalogue but these products are only available stocks are limited. So get in soon for any of these items. You can order directly from me or from my store HERE.

I hope you can join me again this week. I will be away on a Family Holiday but I have some posts scheduled so don’t forget to stop by,

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!!

CHOCOLATE EMERGENCY KIT!!

July 29, 2011 Jenny Hayward

I can’t believe that we only have 2 days left for the Autumn Mini Catalogue. These past few months have simply flown by. When I was going through my photos I discovered I hadn’t shown you this little treat bag. I made these up for all my lovely guests at the Autumn Mini Launch way back in April. (See I am dragging the chain here!) I just have to show you these because I thought they were really cute and a fun project to make up for a friend. Of course, you would probably add a few more M&M’s!!! This is the ‘Chocolate Survival Kit’.

This is using the ‘Eat Chocolate’ set. I have stamped it in Chocolate Chip (what else would you stamp it in!!!). This was punched out with the wide Oval Punch. Then it was adhered to a tag from ‘Lots of Tags’ die using the “Autumn Spice” Specialty Designer Series Paper. I just added it all to a bag topper from Chocolate Chip Cardstock. I discovered this verse on SplitcoastStampers and just had to add it to the back.

I think we would all be suffering these symptons all at once just so we can eat the whole bag!!!

Now don’t miss out on any of the goodies in the Autumn Mini Catalogue. Time is running out. If you haven’t got a local demonstrator then you can contact me. Also, finishing on Sunday is the Ribbon Bundle Special. This is the Ice Cream Parlour Ribbon and co-ordinating buttons that you can receive for FREE when you place an order of $100 or more. So hurry get your order in!

Have a good weekend. I think the sun is meant to shine all weekend here which will be a nice change 🙂

Thanks for visiting!
