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.

BABY GIRL BOOK AND BOX

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

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

I do hope you had a lovely Easter whatever you were doing.

Before I went to Wales to visit my sister I had to make her some Baby Books that I made for all her other Grand Children when they had their first Baby.

This Grand Child is having her first in May, but doesn't want to know if it's a Boy or Girl till it's born.

So I made one of each to take there in case.

Here is the Girl one sorry a bit picture heavy.

 

This is a 6"x6" size book and box I made to fit.

The papers, and the image are from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD which is no longer available I'm afraid.

The Baby items are from my stash.

GETTING INKY AGAIN FOR THIS ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

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

I would love you comment if you can, spare the time.

Well I do hope you all had a great weekend.

I have been getting inky again for a couple of challenges.

So I made this card with an Anniversary in mind that is next month.

Been doing a happy dance again as I am pleased with how this turned out again.

 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I got my Izink inks out again to play, and make my background by inking my glass mat and mopping up the ink drying with the heat gun between each layer.

I then cut out the trellis corner with the JND Sandwich Box Die.

I also inked up some more paper with my inks to make the rose.

I spritzed them all with Tattered Angels Mica spray to give them a lovely sheen.

I also made my rose leaves out of snippets of paper, and inked those too.

The die cut leaves were also cut from snippets of card, and  mopped up ink, and the mica spray.

Stamped my sentiment on more snippets with the  ink.

The silver bling butterflies on a string were sent to me by my sister.

I used Pink, Purple, and Pearls on my Butterfly Challenge entry.

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

I really do appreciate every visit, and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUGBY BIRTHDAY CARD

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

I do hope you are having a great weekend.

Now as the Rugby starts today, and hubby is sat watching it so I thought I would show you a card I made for my Granddaughter's Hubby.

He is a sports teacher in a school, and played Rugby in Uni.

So this card I made for his Birthday which was back in October last year.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I found the image on the Internet, and then I made the backing paper on my 3D2 CD from the image.

I decoupaged the image of the rose found some images of a Rugby Ball and Boots on another CD.

His name I die cut 3 times and glued together to make it stand out better.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BACK TO A CHRISTMAS CARD AGAIN

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

What a miserable start to the weekend here in my part of Kent.

Raining and so dull at the moment.

Starting to feel much better, and the coughing is going away thank goodness.

I tell you I spend a lot of my time in the house, but I think I was getting stir crazy at not being able to go out because of that cough.

Did manage to go to my Granddaughter Birthday meal at a restaurant thank goodness, as I thought I wouldn't be able to go, and she would have been so disappointed, as her and her brother always invite both lots of Grand Parents to their Birthday meals.

Well back to this post, and I have yet another Christmas card I made before Christmas, and haven't been able to show as yet.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and as many of you may know one of my fave sizes.

I matted my card with some Christmas paper with poinsettias on.

Then I again used my Crafters Companion embossing folder on the white layer.

Before I embossed the front I cut out a circle aperture, and after embossing it I cut out the Tattered Lace Holly frame from my last Christmas card, and glued it inside around the aperture.

Finished it of with some beads, ribbon bow, and some small poinsettias I made from a Robert Addams die I won on the Snippets playground a few years ago.

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

I really appreciate the visit, and comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

WEDDING CARD BOX AND BAG

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

Was asked to make a wedding card, box, and bag for the beginning of December for my Daughter's Fiance's Nephew.

The bridesmaids were wearing Maroon now this posed me a big problem as I had no flowers in that colour that I could think of, neither did I have that colour card in my stash, and as I like incorporate that colour somewhere in my wedding cards I suddenly remembered I had some seam binding ribbon that colour so I made my flowers out of that.

Hope you like my design it was a pig to photograph though,

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

I made my bag a little larger than I usually do  so they could put all their wedding cards in it.

I used Ivory Pearlised card as the bride was wearing Ivory.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD AND BOX

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

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

I do hope you all had a super festive season, and for those of you that were not well over Christmas big gentle hugs.

I am just getting over mine, and feeling a lot more energetic now thank goodness.

Before Christmas I was asked to make quite a few special cards for people, and as I can never say no to anyone here is one of them.

 

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

Papers are from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD.

I sprayed them with Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle Pearl Diamond spray which unfortunately doesn't show up on the blog.

Now a tip I found out is you can print on glossy photo paper and spray it with the spray and it looks lovely.

Obviously wait for the photo paper to

to rest for a little before doing this.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

RUDOLF DAYS OCTOBER 2017

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

I have had family visiting lately, and a few cards to make for orders from my Daughter's works which I will be showing shortly. 

Amongst the orders was a big order for Christmas ones which I have posted a few already.

So as it's the Rudolf Days Challenge over at SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG till the end of the month I thought I would show this one I made.

  

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The image is from The Crafters Companion CD Winter Paint Poppets.

I cut a load of different size snowflakes from dies and covered the card.

The sentiment was a freebie.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I had trouble with the photo of the inside of this card as when I used the Auto Contrast the colour went a totally different and slightly orangy that's why it looks a little dull.

I die cut a few different circles, and finally stamped my Thank You and heat embossed it with Sea Foam White embossing powder.

CHRISTMAS EMBOSSED CARD

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

I am at the moment very busy making tissue boxes to sell at the Macmillan coffee morning on Friday, and the rest of the week I will be baking for it as well.

A couple of weeks ago Mrs Duck launched her new website where you can buy some crafty stash at reasonable prices if anyone is interested there is a Link on my side bar that will take you there.

Of course as Ang is a good blog friend I had to purchase didn't I. 

I bought the John Next Door Rustic Frame embossing folder, and this is what I created with it.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I started by painting some white card with Starlight Paint Topaz to get my lovely bronze gold card.

Then I embossed it with John's embossing folder, and as it's a Nbus item I will be joining Darnell's Nbus Challenge.

Just matt and layered the different colour card.

Die cut my TL Poinsettia, leaves, and fir branches with the painted card.

The Christmas calendar is from the Pink Gem website.

Finished it off with a bow and some snowflakes cut from the painted card.

I am really pleased with how this turned out.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

It's very miserable in my part of Kent today all grey, and raining, and cold as well.

Won't be long till the leaves start falling of the trees.

My, summer came, and went in a flash or that's what it seems like or is it because we had a lovely June, and not such a nice July, and August.

Gosh I have managed to make a card for the Butterfly Challenge  as I think I may have missed a couple of the challenges.

 This is a anniversary card I made for my youngest Son and his wife.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The heart paper came from a paper pad I bought at B&M for the grand price of £2.49.

The white card I embossed with the Sue Wilson's Heart Lattice embossing folder.

Added some ribbon and string bling.

The doily die, and the bow, and hearts die are cheap Chinese ones.

Silhouette butterfly dies are SB.

 Stamped the sentiment with Faded Jeans DI.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
