BLUE AND PINK GRANDDAUGHTER BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I am so sorry I didn't manage to comment yesterday, as I had visitors all day, and was so
tired after they left.

I do hope everyone is having a lovely Bank 
Holiday weekend.
The weather in my part of Kent is dull, but dry.
So I do hope it's a little bit better wherever you
may live, and you have some nice sunshine.

Today I have a card I made for my Daughter to
give her Granddaughter who is 6 in 8 days time.
I was looking for a image at Pink Gems web
and spotted this one which looks a lot like her.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image is a new one I have just bought. 
It's pre-coloured one from Pink Gem Designs.
You also get one to colour in too.
The papers are also a new buy, digi ones
 bought at the Pink Gem Design website, and a bargain.
I cut out lots of SB Parisian Accents for round
the edge of the card, and the corners.
 I used Spun Sugar DI around the oval shape, 
and the sentiment.
I used the long edge die to go round my oval shape to give it nice edge.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
I so much appreciate everyone that you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented
friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my latest follower, and
thank you for choosing to follow me, and I do 
hope to see you here as often as you can 
manage it.
 
Well I can't believe it's Friday all ready, it seems
like at one moment it's Monday, and then the 
next it's Friday, what happened to all the days
in between. lol.
I have been busy preparing for my part in TCBH
on Monday.
So maybe that's why the days have flown by.  

Thank you for your continued support of my
blog, and the wonderful comments you make. 
So now it's time to join Erika   HERE  for the 
Oldie for Friday.
Here is mine for this week, and this was shown 
before I started to photograph my insides of my
cards.

 This is a 8"x8" size card.
The patterned poppy card and topper is a old
Hunkydory one.
I made the backing pattern behind the topper
out of Spellbinders Parisian motifs or accents,
by interlocking them and gluing them under the
pearls.
I then added a double Parisian border and some
vintage seam binding ribbon, and a bow.

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

Well Christine's dancing did the trick we have

The flower I made a while ago with the rose
petals you get for bridal things.
I added some beads in the middle of it.
Then I folded a doily like you would for a
teabag fold then I opened it back up and
glued 2 under the flower.
I used the Spellbinders Parisian Accents,
glued together inside.

Thank you again for your time and visit.
I do hope you all continue to have a 
wonderful BH weekend.

for anyone, so I will add it if and when I
need to use it.
The paper is Heartfelt Creations Burst of
Splendor again, I do love this pad.
The digi image is a Pink Gem one , coloured 
in with Promarkers, and I decoupaged the 
flowers at the bottom and added some leaves.
I have rounded the corners and put a 
Promarker round the edges of the cards and
paper.
I die cut the Spellbinders Parisian  Accents
corners and the other die in the set round
the edges of the card both inside and out.

Well that's my creation today.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS BURST OF SPLENDOR NO 2

Hi to all my craft loving friends and visitor to 
my blog.
I do hope you have all had a fabulous weekend.
As I have traveled through most of your blogs
today I see most of you have had some rain.
Well I'm still waiting for the rain here, my poor old water butt is dying of thirst. lol.
I really don't know why but we don't seem to
get as much rain as the rest of you.
I know this seems like I'm moaning but my 
grass is dying, and as I'm on a water meter it
costs me money to use the hose, and I would
rather spend that money on crafting goodies. lol.

My card today is another one I have made from
The Heartfelt Creations Burst of Splendor Paper.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This an 8x8 size card.
I distressed the edge of my white card with
Spun Sugar Distress Ink, I also distressed the 
pink card with Peeled Paint Distress Ink on
two sides of the card and Spun Sugar again to 
the other two sides trying to copy the 
distressing on the paper.
I'm not sure whether I like this or not, I think
it makes the pink card look dirty.
What do you think ?
My design of the pyramid of die cuts were an
idea of the lovely Linda Burrows from 
Creative Harmony blog a while back. 
Thank you for the inspiration Linda and I hope
to see you back blogging again soon as I miss
your lovely creations.
The pyramid is done with your Spellbinders
Parisian Accents Die, cutting the border bar
off the 2nd,3rd and so on layers, and gluing 
together.
I added some lace and seam binding I had 
coloured with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.
A few AB pearls and some decoupaged 
flowers cut out of the paper.

Thank you for your visit, and comments, they
mean so much to me.
Sorry the explanation of the card was so long winded.
I hope you all have great crafty insperations,
always for all your personal creations.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

VINTAGE LOOKING CARD

Hi and good morning to all you wonderful talented crafty followers
and visitors.
Well it's Wednesday again, I hope you all had a fab day yesterday.
Did you manage to slot some crafting in ?
I must admit I didn't, was just too busy to manage it boo ! hoo!
THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments.
I am a very Happy Bunny with them all.
I know your time is very precious to you so any time you spend
visiting my blog and leaving comments are very much appreciated.

My card today has a vintage look.
There is a small story attached to this card and couple more
I may show in the future.
My sister goes to beading class in South Wales where she lives,
and one of the ladies in her class gave her some cards she had
bought from C and C that she didn't want.
So my sister passed them on to me, these were the type you buy
and just add your own embellishments to. They were a funny
size so I made them into the size to fit just inside an 8x8 card.
I hope you like it.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

This card is made with a 8x8 card blank.
Matted with pale green card stock then the funny sized card
matted on top.
Noe this left a line down the center where the fold of the card
was, so that was covered with vintage green ribbon and the
Parisian Accents either side.
I coloured the little green flowers with a whisper pen, and added
a green pearl into each center.
Wallah a fairly quick card to make.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you have a fantastic Wednesday.
I have got Ellie to look after tomorrow so I will visit your bogs
a little later in the day, if I can't manage it before she arrives.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

PINK PARISIAN BORDER CARD

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you had a really fab day yesterday. 
I would like to welcome my new follower Dr Sonia from
Bangalore, India.
If you look at my blog comments for yesterday you will 
find her blog address. Try and pay her a visit as she has some
amazing tutorials on there.
She is very keen to recycle lots of our every day items, that
I think is wonderful idea. Less waste in our bins has got to 
be a really good thing.
THANK YOU sooooooo much for all your wonderful
comments on my tag No2 yesterday.
I really do appreciate every one, that is made.

My card for today is one inspired by Sue Wilson.
I'm not sure when she made a similar one but the border
idea was on one of her cards.

The ingredients for this.
An A5 card made for A4 card stock in Centura Snow White
pearl card.
Matted with pink pearlised card stock.
I then cut 4 Spellbinders Parisian Borders and layered them.
I cut out a Parisian Motif with center part cut out for the 
sentiment.
I added a very large bow and recycled a few of the cut outs,
and last of all I added some Cosmic Pearly PVA glue dots.
A quick and simple card to make but very effective all the 
same.
What do you think.
Thank you again for visiting my blog each day.
Have a wonderful crafty Saturday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

SOMETHING IN RED AND CREAM

Hello to all my craft loving friends and visitors.
I hope you all had a really good Tuesday, and the weather
was kind to you.
THANK YOU so much for stopping by and leaving such
heart warming comments.
As I have said before I really do appreciate every one.
Well we had a wonderful Teddy Bears Picnic at my club.
Thank you so much for telling me your Teddy Bears names.
I just thought it would be a little fun.
I have a Teddy Bear Poem I found on the internet to share
with you.
              Teddy Bear and Good Friends. 
              by Jon Wimer.
           A Teddy Bear is a furry friend 
           whose love and support never end
           it keeps your secrets, and never lies
           Friendly, Fuzzy, Cosy, Wise.
         
           Tell it your secrets 
           It will keep them well
           you don't have to worry,
           it won't ever tell.

           Whenever you need one
            it will always be there
            the same old Teddy Bear
            with the same old stare
            Ready to listen. Ready to care.

Now to my card today.

The ingredients for this is.
An 8x8 card blank. 
Matted with cream card.
I then used  a pattered piece of card from my stash.
I made the cream lace pattern with Spellbinders Parisian
Accents, and interlocked them together and glued them.
I cut two accents and put them either side of my ribbon.
Made a bow put another accent and button in the middle.
I finished it all off with some flat backed pearls from my
stash, and a topper of poppies.
I hope you like my design, I think it looks Asian.
What do you think.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Thank you again for stopping by.

50th BIRTHDAY CARD

Hello and good morning to all my followers and visitors.
It's Friday already and the weekends nearly here.
I hope everyone has had a fab week and the weather has been
kind to all of you.
THANK YOU for dropping by and leaving such wonderful
comments.
I very much appreciate each and every one.
Did you all spot the differences yesterday.
Well there was a slight mistake, I posted the wrong picture for 
the first picture, and I didn't notice till I had finished my post,
that evening and I was too tired by then to rectify it. So Sorry.
What happened was I took the first photo to send to the client
before finishing the card, and got them mixed up.
So there were 3 differences really.
1. The double scolloped oval.
2  The single scolloped oval.
3. The embossed background on the ovals, were different.
I hope you liked my little game. Just thought it would interest
you all.
Now to my card for today, no games this time, honest.
This one I made for my daughter's friends Birthday.

Ingredients for this.
An 8x8 scolloped card blank.
Matted with silver mirri and then pink pearlised  card from 
my card stock.
I cut out an aperture of Spellbinders Parisian Motifs before
applying it to my mirrir.
I then put the motif back in the aperture. I cut out a 50 on my
Cricut Machine.
I added some Parisain corners and the accents down one side.
Some pearly swirls and I stamped the little flowers with
Creative Expression stamps called Ivy which has some lovely
what I would call a Christmas rose stamps included.
I coloured them in with mica powder and spritzed them with 
a spray varnish to stop the mica powder coming off.
Finished the card with a bow and a pearly button.
Oh and I nearly forgot I punched flower holes in the scolloped
parts of the card.
The butterflies are from the Memory Box Moonlight Butterfly
die.
Well that's all for today folks, I hope you liked my creation
today.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave you comments.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

70th BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

Hi and good morning to all my blog friends and visitors.
It's Monday morning and the start of a new week.
I hope each and everyone of you had lovely weather over 
the weekend.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments on my 
creations.
I love to read each one, and appreciate all your precious
time taken to visit me, and make a comment.
My card today is a card and a box I made for a friends
70th Birthday.

Those of you who know my work by now will know I like
to decorate my box to go with the card.

The ingredients for this is.
I made a grey 8x8 card out of 2 A4 pieces of card.
I didn't have the right colour  pattered pearlised card so I
inked a cream one with a mixture of pigment inks I had.
This came out a lovely shade of peach.
I cut out an aperture with the Spellbinders Grand Scolloped
Oval.
Then I cut a smaller one and glued it with sticky pads.
I made a 70 on my Cricut machine, and I also made my
roses with different size flowers off the george basic
cartridge. Glued the edges and dipped them in glitter.
I cut some Spellbinders Parisian Accents and put two
colour ribbons between. 
I didn't have the right colour ribbons so you've guessed
it I died them with a combination of distress ink and 
pigment inks.
Cautionary tale wear gloves for the grey.
I added some peach flat backed pearls to the edges of 
the scollops.
The Butterfly was made out of Spellbinders Fanciful Flight
die.
The box was made in a similar way but I din't have any
more of the patterned card.
I used a Martha Stewart Punch for round the edges of the 
top of the box. This was the large Daisy Punch I think
you can just see part of it.
Well thats all for today folks. 
I hope you like it.
Not sure about the peel offs on the 70 of the card.
What do you think.
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.
