So Santa – A Stamping Journey

TEAM CHRISTMAS CARD SWAPS!

December 30, 2018December 30, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Ok, I know Christmas is done with for another year but I have one more post to share with you. Recently I had a Team Card Swap for my JEN’s INK team. I thought I would share them all with you because I love each and everyone of my team members and I love that they got involved. I will say that some were very nervous to take part. So I am proud of them.

It was a Christmas theme. It was a small group involved for this one because this time of year gets a bit crazy. But give them all a cheer. They all did well.

My card was the top left one with the Making Christmas Bright set. I was inspired by a card on Pinterest. Now I can’t find who it was by. I hadn’t Pinned it. Oops! I liked the idea of stamping it on Crumb Cake. I thought I had a single photos of it but I can’t find it now. Crazy times forgetting everything. 🙂

Happy New Year to you all.

I am excited to continue to create and share projects with you. Thank you for following me along. I hope you continue this fun journey with me in to 2019.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 12 – CHRISTMAS CRATE!

December 21, 2018December 20, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Here we are. Week 12 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. When I started this series I thought it was so far off to the end. It has come around so quickly. I hope you have enjoyed the projects I have shared over the last 12 weeks. Today is a fun Christmas treat box.

It’s a Christmas crate. Fill it with treats to give as a gift but wouldn’t it look great as a place marker on a table for Christmas.

The So Santa set works so well for our hot summer Christmas events. No snow here in Australia. Sun, sand and seashells right? 🙂

To make the crate I used the Wood Crate Framelits. Simply cut 2 from Real Red cardstock and assemble as normal. Before I assembled the box I stamped over it with the Holly Strand in several places.

I measured the width of the crate to know what size width for the red cardstock. Look what else I have used?? The Rectangle Stitched Framelits. Brand new coming in the Occasions Catalogue on January 3rd. I am so excited for these.

The So Santa image was stamped on Thick Whisper White and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. And look also, a new Stampin’ Blends colour – Balmy Blue. I like to outline the images when I colour them in light Smoky Slate blend. It helps to add depth to your images and make them POP!

I added a little dazzle with Silver Glimmer Paper punched with the Duet Banner Punch. I cut the banner in half and adhered it under the sentiment to extend the length. The sentiment was cut with one of the smaller Rectangle Stitched Framelits.

I hope you have enjoyed this series. It’s been fun. If you missed some of the projects over the last few months then click on the tag for 12 Weeks of Christmas and it will show you all of them. It might be a bit late for this Christmas but you could file it away (or PIN them) for later.

Thanks for following me along,

SO SANTA MOPED!

September 10, 2018September 10, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I shared some cards yesterday using the So Santa set for a Blog Hop. Did you see them? Jump back a post to check them out if you missed them.

Today I have another card for you using the So Santa set. I love the cool Santa on the Moped.

I coloured this image with the Watercolor Pencils. I looped around some Silver Thread onto the back of the stamped piece. This piece was adhered on to a piece of the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper and then adhered to a Real Red Card base.

The sentiment was stamped on black card in Versamark and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. To finish the card I added a Real Red Rhinestone.

Do you like this cool dude? It’s such a fun set.

This set is available in the 2018 Holiday Catalogue. You can see it and order it in my store now -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: ME4VSE3W or order directly to me (Australian residents only).

Thanks for visiting me.

ESAD 2018 HOLIDAY CATALOGUE BLOG HOP!

September 9, 2018September 8, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Welcome to the ESAD 2018 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop. It’s nice to have you stop by. I am sure you will see lots of gorgeous projects along the hop with the lovely new products from the new Holiday Catalogue.

Firstly though, ESAD is a great group of Demonstrators from Australia and New Zealand and we love sharing with you regularly.

You would have come from Rachael’s blog HERE or you are starting from this blog. You can just hop from one post to the other though in the links shown in each post and see the projects.

For my projects today I have used the very cute So Santa set. I love that we have some “summery” Christmas sets because in Australia we don’t have snow and snowmen at Christmas time.

These are the 2 cards I have made.

Don’t you love the cool Santa dude in his boardies. (yes, that’s Aussie for Board shorts). They were both coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I kept the layout the same for both and just changed them slightly. Both the sentiments are from the So Santa set. The paper is from the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue. Of course you could use any paper. I just flagged the end of the pieces. They were adhered to a white card mat that I had embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

One of the images I cut with the Layering Squares Framelits and I cut a Silver Glimmer Paper scallop square to go behind it. The other was cut with the Layering Circles Framelits with a scallop circle behind it.

Hope you like these Santas??
