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.

WEDDING CARD AND BAG

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
I do hope you are having a great weekend, and 
all is well in your neck of the woods.
As you know I have problems with my eyes,
and have a great deal of difficulty seeing things
that are small, and cutting out, and colouring now. 
So my my DH has bought me a Bother ScanNCut for Christmas, from C & C yesterday, so we spent all day tiding and re-arranging my craft room to house it, when it arrives.
Got rid of lots of unwanted items that were cluttering up my craft room, and took the doors
 off a wall cupboard to give me more room.
I will need to buy a new desk to put it on, but
we thought we would wait till it arrives to see
how big a desk I need, as no where had the 
specks of the size of it.
I am really excited, and what a very lucky girl 
am I.
So on to my wedding card and bag.
When I made my last one I had an order for
another one, but they wanted chocolate brown
and burnt orange on it, and I thought it was a bit
of strange a colour combo till the penny dropped
and I realized that it was the day before
Halloween.
So here it is and she was very pleased with it.

This is a 8"x8" size card and bag to fit.
I made the bag out of 2 A3 PMD white card.
I would have used cream, but I didn't have that
in the A3 card, so I went with white.
I managed to find some lovely chocolate brown
and burnt orange pearilised card at my local craft
shop luckily.
The daisies are from the Spellbinders Anemone 
Die, and the center is from the Sue Wilson Die
Finishing Touches Rose Die.
I used some snippets to stamp my sentiment on,
and mount it on to a snippets die cut.
This was inked with potting soil archival ink,
but it looks gold in the picture.

Thank you for your visit, time, and wonderful 
comments you make, as I really appreciate them.
Lots of crafty love.

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

EASEL CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog, all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit and your
wonderful comments you make on my work.

Well after my earlier mistake, which if you have
only just visited me you won't know about.
I posted a card for someone thinking their
Anniversary was this weekend.
 Well I got it all wrong as usual, and it's not till
the end of this month, now I feel really silly.

So here is Birthday card I did for someone, and
I definitely know it was her Birthday yesterday.

This is a just under 6"x6" in size.
The paper is Dovecraft Back To Basic 111.
Now to get my doily look around my die cut
guess what I used, the Sue Wilson Ditty Bow
Die.
I got this idea from watching one of Sue's 
video tutorials on her blog, as she was making
a flower with this die.
So me being me, I had a play with the die and
came up with this design around the Lacy
Circle Die, and doesn't it look pretty.

Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

which were cut from my smallest part of the 
Spellbinders Anemone Die.

The one on the left I used some old peel offs 
on some snippets card and cut around it and layered it.

that I had cut out for another project and not used.

I helped a friend in my singing group sell raffle
tickets at her local fete today.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments

Tonight I have a Golden Wedding Anniversary
card for my sister and her husband. Who will be

card while making this, so I will have to wait for
my replenishment stock to arrive before I can make the box to match.

Matted with gold vellum paper I bought a long
time ago, then I embossed the Centura Pearl
with my embossing folder that came with my
E- Bosser.
I embossed and cut 3 Special Touch Mask Doilies.
I die cut my Di-Namics Dizzy Doily 6 times
and cut it in half to go round the edges of the
other doily.
I die cut another Dizzy Doily for the front, and a
lacy circle for the sentiment.
I die cut 24 Marriane Creatables Corner 12 in
white and 12 in gold, and glued the white to 
the gold so only the edges show gold.
The flowers are SB Anemone Die.
The foliage is SB Foliage 2.
Pearls and hearts from my stash.
