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.

CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT

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

Sorry I have been missing this week, but my Daughter was on leave from her work, and so my Daughter, Granddaughter, and myself had a lovely week shopping and doing lots of lovely things together.

I managed quite a bit of C,shopping with their lovely help too. 

So then I had a lot of house work to catch up on that got left out.

In between I was watching U Tube on how to make Christmas Ornaments as I had to make a DT project for the MAWTT Christmas Challenge that was anything except a card.

So here is the second ornament I made yesterday.

For anyone that is interested in making one of these HERE is the link.

This is my version of her wonderful ornament.
I didn't have the shower ring she used so I used a few layers of card, and wrapped my ribbon around.
There is a Snippet of Acetate on the image that doesn't show in the photo.
Also I used up lots of Snippets to make this including the image, and the back embossed card, so I will be joining my playground friends with this.
The poinsettia die I won on the playground years ago.

Thank you for your visit, and your wonderful comments.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT CARD......................CHRISTMAS SCENES

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

It's time for Team B over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.

and Jan is our lovely host this time around, and she would like to see Christmas Scenes on your entries.

The challenge runs from 8/12/16 to Wednesday 21/12/16 at 1PM, and then we have a Christmas Break till

January 2017.

This is all for perhaps a Top 3 or 5 badge, but we love to see your wonderful creations you make.

Please pop over to the challenge blog to see what my lovely Team mates created.

So here is what I made for my DT card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The Christmas Scene came from a Hunkydory set I bought.

I used some Gold Rainbow Mirri card for my base and then added one of the scenes that came with the set.

I decoupaged the village scene.

Then added some ivy and white poinsettias.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

 

POINSETTIA TREE TABLE DECORATION

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

I have come down with a chest cold now I very rarely get colds so today I had a lazy day, and no apatite.

This fortnights challenge at the Frilly and Funkie is Home for the Holidays and some sort of decoration, but not a card.

So I remembered John Lockwood HERE making one of these Poinsettia Trees back in November 2013 so I thought I would have a go, I just wish I had looked at his video tutorial first as my cone shape would have been easier.

I started by using Starlight Paints to paint my card in Topaz and Diamond colours.

Now I didn't have any dowling I could use so rolled up some card and painted it.

I also didn't have a glass pot to put mine into so used a upturned yogurt pot  and sponge paint on that too.

The base is an old cheese box sponge painted as well.

The poinsettias are from a die I won at the Pixie's Snippets Playground.

So hopefully I can join the playground with this as I have used some snippets.

I hope you like my effort.

Thank you so much for your visit and the wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS TAG

We are sadly losing two of our Design Team members over at the
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES  Challenge.
If anyone is interested in joining our friendly team please email Wendy you will find her email on the side of our challenge blog.
                                       

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I hope you all had a good weekend as the weather wasn't very nice.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I really do appreciate everyone that you make.

I enjoyed making my last Christmas Tag that I had to create another one to join in the Twelve Tags of Christmas again.

I started by covering a tag with some Snippets of card I had used Pixie Powders on.
Then I inked the edges with Fired Brick DI.
The arch church window was die cut out of a snippet of card that I had used gilding polish on and then used Pixie Powders on.
The image of the choir singers are from Hunkydory.
I stamped the 25th with a freebie stamp, and Fired Brick DI.
The white poinsettias were cut from more snippets of white and green card, and the die I used was a winning prize from the Pixies Snippets Challenge a few years ago.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE JULY 2016..... DESIGN TEAM CARD

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

Back last year I was entering the Rudolf Challenge over at SCRAPPYMO'S  blog and she asked for people that would join her Design Team she had quite few people apply so she decided to have all of us as her DT and split us up into, one talented team for the first 6 months and another talented team for the last 6 months.

So I will be providing a DT card for 

July, September, November, as my part of her DT.
The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end  of the month.

This design card is a kit from CraftsUprint, and you print it off, and put your own little tweaks to it.

I added extra card to make it firm as I hate floppy easel cards.

I also added some poinsettias made from a Robert Addams Die that I won on the Snippets Playground ages ago.

The poinsettias were cut out of snippets of card so I will be joining the Snippets Playground with this as I haven't managed to enter for a few weeks now.

I do hope you can enter a card into the Rudolf Challenge, and visit my Team friends to see their lovely creations.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
