MONOCHROME WEDDING CARD AND BOX

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

I do hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

My neighbour asked me to make a wedding card for her recently, and as she didn't know the colour scheme of the wedding this is what I made.

I went back to an old design I created  a few years ago as it was a bit rushed, and I wasn't given much time to think up a new design.

Every design of this is always slightly different in any rate.

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

Now this didn't photograph well as the colour looks beige looking.

It was supposed to be white pearlised card from Crafters Companion, but it was more Ivory so how they can call it white I don't know. 

I used the Sue Wilson Heart Lattice embossing folder.

The middle die with the sentiment is a cheap Chinese one.

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

I really appreciate all you wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I am a bit late with my Oldie for Friday this week, as I have had quite a few things to do today, but I still wanted to support Erika HERE 
with an Older Christmas Card I made a few years ago.
This is just for fun, but a super way to bring back some of your older posts, and it doesn't have to be a card, it can be anything you have posted on you blog before.
Just comment on Erika's oldie, and she will return the comment. 

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I just love white on white cards, and was so pleased with how this turned out, and it got a very good response from all my blog friends too.

Thank you so much for sparing your precious time to visit me, and make such great comments.
I am continually blown away by how kind they are.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

WEDDING CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
So sorry I have been missing for a couple of days.
I have had lots of bits of house work to catch up
on, and a small amount of gardening,  to also 
catch up on.

My eldest sister in Wales the one that had the op
suddenly also asked me to make her this wedding
card, and box for her Grandson.
So I have just finished it.
On the card are some hand made roses I made
with the help of a wonderful blog friend Pamellia's
UTube Tutorial which you will find HERE.
I didn't have the Tim Holtz flower die she used 
so I used my Spellbinders Rose Creation Die, 
and you only need one size petal cut 6 times for
the whole rose.

This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit.
I also made the leaves I used on the flower spray
using a method John Lockwood showed on C&C.
I didn't see the program, but I heard some blog
friends talking about how he had done it, so I 
had a go.
What I did was the paper I had wet, and
crumpled for the roses I rubbed DI in different
shades of green all over, and then cut out my 
leaves from the same Rose Die.
I then added some Fired Brick DI to the top 
edges.

Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you make.
It means a great deal to me, and I am so pleased
you like my work.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

week I made them for my daughter's works
coffee morning.
Phew I don't want to bake another cake for 
a while now.
Standing and baking has aggravated my hips,
so I have been having a few probs there too.
I also have had a family bereavement, my 
dear uncle and the last of my Dad's siblings
has passed away.
So I didn't feel much like blogging.

Today I have an Anniversary card I should
have posted yesterday, as it was a blog friends
25th Wedding Anniversary.

embossing folder Sophisticated.
The backing to my hearts is Indigo Blu Mica
Flakes Eton Mess
The Heart Die is Tonic.
The leaves are the Sue Wilson Faux Quilled
Leaves Die.
I made the organza flowers, again with my 
heat gun.

top of my spine, so we will see what's going
with it.

that works with my daughter.
You might remember my A4 box and card for
the members of staff to send their wedding 
greetings, well this one went to the same couple.

embossing folder, and coloured the folder with
blue ink before embossing my pearl card to give
it a blue tint.
The roses I also coloured the edges with blue
ink to match.
The roses are I think from the Range, not sure

PRETTY IN PINK 80th BIRTHDAY CARD

Good morning to all you talented, and craft loving
blog friends and visitors.
I know I say this most days when I post my creations, but may I say a really big THANK YOU for all your support and time you spend
visiting my blog and making such wonderful comments.

We have has some beautiful sunshine for the last
few days, but that wind is still a tad cold too.
On Tuesday I actually sat in the garden and had
my breakfast, because it was so glorious.
The plants are beginning to grow quite nicely now.

Today I have a 80th Birthday card to share with
you for my friend who used to organize my little
ladies club with me.
Later today I will make the box to go with it.
The card I used is a very deep bright pink, but it
looks almost red in the picture.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This card is an 8x8 size.
I have used the Cupcake CD Floral Delights for
the paper I used to die cut the flowers and corners.
This was printed on inkjet Shimmer White Decoupage Paper which is very pearlised, but it doesn't show on the photo.
I decided to cover part of the corners with the paper too, as it was so pretty.
I cut out a SB grand circle and then I cut out the
center with the Di-namics Dizzy Doily die and 
replaced it back on foam pads.
I also cut one out of the paper too and added it to the top of that.
I added some AB pearls I just purchased, and some pearls on a string from my stash.

Well that's all for today folks will be looking at what you have created later today.
Thank you again for sparing your time to visit me.
I do hope you all enjoy your Thursday.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
