SHABBY CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD

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

I do hope everyone is keeping well.

The papers are from a Paper Boutique pad.

Sorry the inside photo didn't come out very well.

Lace from my stash wooden bird cage from the works.

The large flower is from WOC.

The small ones are Tim Holtz.

Leaves I made.

WEDDING CARD AND BOX.........AND FINAL BLOG ANNIVERSARY PRIZE.

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

Sorry I couldn't post this Monday or Tuesday as my DH hasn't been too well, and we have had to visit the hospital twice over the last few days.

A few more tests, and maybe another operation if the outcome is the same as it was a few years ago.

Well onto to my final winner of my Blog Anniversary prize of £15, and Tad-Dah the name drawn out is
 Kate of Love Socks and Cards Blog.
Kate please email me with your preference of where you would like me to buy your voucher.

Now onto a wedding card and box made for my Sister, and Niece to give to my Great Nephew on his wedding.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made to fit it.
I purchased the lovely embossed pearlised card to make this.
Now the bridesmaids were wearing Dark Coral dresses so this set me a task as I couldn't find card in that colour.
I tried out a few different inks to get the right colour I wanted, and finally used Worn Lipstick, and Fossilised Amber DOI to get this result, and go with the ribbon used on the box.
Decided to make a shaker design for a change.
Flowers are from WOC and inked with the same inks.
This is the one my Sister gave, and in a few weeks you will see the one my Niece gave them.

Thank you for your visit, and precious time,
It's always very much appreciated.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

MY BLOGS 6TH ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH

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

It's my blogs 6th Anniversary this month, and I can hardly believe how quick that time has gone.

To think I set up my blog amazes me as when I did it I was fairly new to computers.

So to celebrate my blog anniversary I have put lots of my followers who regularly visit, and make comments in a hat, and hubby drew a name out for me the name drawn out was Kath from the blog Plain and Simple.

So I would like to buy her a voucher of £25 where ever she would like me to buy it for her.

I will be doing similar draws with different vouchers throughout the remaining month.

So Kath if you let me know where you would like me to buy your voucher.

In the meantime here is a card I made for my Son who is a big fan of biscuits.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The biscuit die is a Tattered Lace one that comes with a charisma download.

I printed it off on photographic paper.

I think the biscuits look quite real don't you.

Die cut the Happy Birthday 4 times, and glued together to make it stand out more.

The son letters were snippets of letters cut out previously for other projects.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.

I always appreciate your visit and wonderful comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SORRY YOUR LEAVING CARD

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

Also a big welcome to anyone who just pops by to look at my work.

For those of you interested if you remember I made a girl, and boy book card for my sister to give her Granddaughter who didn't want to know the sex of the baby before it was born.

She had a baby boy on Friday.

Right onto today most weeks I try, and join in Wendy's sketch challenge on F/Book.

This week she has a slightly different challenge to use 3 or more shapes on your entry not counting the base card.

You will find the details HERE.

So here is my entry for this week.

This is a 8"x8" size card I made for my Daughter to take to work for everyone to sign the post cards inside.

The card is and image are Hunkydory.

The postcards were printed off a MCS CD .

Now I had a happy accident with this as my printer was playing up for the sentiment and it came out a couple of colours and I thought it looked okay like that. 

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

WEDDING CARD AND BOX

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

Also a big warm welcome to any one who just pops by to look at my work.

A few weeks ago I was asked by a neighbour to make a wedding card and box so this is what I made.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made to fit it.

I used 2 different colour pearlised card.

The matt layer and corners are an iridescent, and have a slight lilac sheen to it, as you can see on the box.

I had to redo the verse inside as it went blurry, and I didn't

 re-photograph it again.

 Flowers from WOC.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.

I very much appreciate each visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CHERRIES AND CUPCAKE BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Also a big warm welcome to anyone just popping to look at my work.

I do hope your weekend is going well, and you are having nice weather where ever you may live.

It's been sunny, and quite warm today in my part of Kent well at least a lot warmer than it has been.

About a week ago my Daughter wanted a card for her works to give to a colleague, and she wanted it with cherries on, and it was wanted for the next day now she looked for one while we were food shopping, but with no hope of that I said I have just the right paper on a CD, and I'll make you one, and you can pick it up on your way to work tomorrow.

So I made this card in about an hour for her.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The papers, and the image came from Cupcake Crafting CD Tumble Tizzy Pastime Collections.

This was bought very cheap from Creative Crafting World.

I used my Paper Boutique Doily Die for the doily.

Silver mirri card form Hunkydory.

Just added some glitter to the top of the cupcake icing.

Thank you so much for your precious time, and wonderful comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE...94 SPIN THE WHEEL WITH THE LETTER C

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

Also a warm welcome to any visitors that may just pop by. 

Weather still cold at the mo.

I do hope you are all looking forward to the weekend.

Finished my entry for the Butterfly Challenge lunchtime so I thought I would post this as soon as I could.

There is a new formula this time around, and you have to choose from the wheel that is on the challenge.

I chose Cornflower Blue and checks at least I hope it is Cornflower Blue, and of course a Butterfly or Butterflies.

 

This is a 6" x5" size card when folded flat except for the Butterflies which makes it slightly taller.

I got the idea from a lady on C&C yesterday, but mine is slightly different.

I used snippets of paper on this and inked the edges with Brilliance Ink Pearl Ice Blue which was the nearest to cornflower blue I could find.

Stamped the sentiment with Izink Petrole and this stays wet enough to heat emboss with Silver Pearl Embossing powder.

Tried it with the Ice Blue and it came out white pearl.

The butterfly border is cut from Snippets, and you can buy it from the Ducks DooDahs website, and was very cheap, the link is on my sidebar.

I also inked those with Brilliance Ink.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.

Still having probs with my back so commenting in stages as I don't want a recurrence of my slipped disc.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

80th BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Been looking after my Granddaughter today as she doesn't go back to school till tomorrow.

She is my youngest Granddaughter.

We also had lunch with my eldest Granddaughter today, and her mother my Daughter.

 Before we went to lunch my youngest Granddaughter wanted to make cards.

Fingers crossed Win 10 seems to be behaving today thankfully.

Last week I was asked to make a card for my Daughter's boss who is Welsh, and in Wales we call our Mum Mam.

So here is the card and box I made her.

This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit.

Now the order was for Lavender Colours and I didn't have any Lavender card so I sprayed my card with Tattered Angels Mica spray to get the colour I was after.

As the lady in  question  loves handbags and flowers my Daughter suggested to cascade the flowers down the handbag.

I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

The letters were made by gluing 3 lots of each letter to make them stand out nicely.

Put some ribbon on the handle of the bag to represent a scarf.

Hope you like this as much a I do.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

THINKING OF YOU CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

I went to see John Lockwood demoing at Chatham yesterday, and it was brilliant I could watch him all day, and every day as he is so very talented , and a lovely person too.

My Daughter, and her fiance took me, and my hubby, and afterwards we went for lunch.

While there my Daughter bought me John's media plates  wasn't I a lucky girl.

Got home very tired though.

Couldn't sleep again last night because of my RLS it seems worse if I am over tired.

Didn't get much sleep either Saturday night with the excitement so I expect that was why I was so tired.

So last night I started this card, and finished it today.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I started by matting, and layering my card with pink card , and Ivory pearlised card.

Then I die cut a Nbus die from Creative Crafting World Doily Die set that I bought from C&C.

The Thinking of you also came with the set, and the flowers were made with another part of the set.

Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
