GRANDSON'S 30th BIRTHDAY CARD


Hi and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Now don't faint, but I have another card again today.
I told you I have made so many lately as I have a big family. 

In the middle of this month it was my Grandson's 30th Birthday.
Well I think we all struggle with the male makes, so while visiting my dear blog friend Jackie T she showed a lovely card made with this die I have used so I just had to buy it as it will be so useful.
I have made cards before with a bottle on but had to use a template to make them, and as my eyes are not so good any more so I just had to have this die.



This is an A4 size card.
The bottle die is a John Lockwood Die.
You get the glasses die with this too.
I cut the glasses in white card, and coloured the drink with promarkers, and then I sprayed them with the Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle Pearl Diamond which gave them a glitzy glass look which I am not sure shows up on here.
A few drops of stickles for the bubbles.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
I sure do appreciate each visit, and wonderful comment.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

A very striking card with the inside beautifully finished as always. That certainly looks like a brilliant die and saves the hassle we used to have using templates for shapes!!

Hi Jenny, I love this bottle die and your die-cut and I adore your glasses of 'bubbly', they look like 'frosted' glasses, really effective. I bet Stephen loved this card.
Lots of love from Patricia xx

Oh Jenny, this is awesome. I see why you had to have this die. It is so versatile and made a great male card. Also useful for New Year's Eve and any celebration you can think of. I love how you made the bubbles.
