ANNIVERSARY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
I hope everyone is enjoying the  lovely weather 
we are having, and if the weather is not so nice
where you live perhaps you should move to my
neck of the wood, as we always experience 
wonderful weather. 
I am still hoping for rain as we hardly ever get
any, and my water butt is empty yet again.
Well enough of my woes, and here is my card.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I started by embossing some Tattered Lace
pearlised paper with a unnamed mask I bought
at the NEC 2 years ago.
I then sponged Peacock Feathers DI on the embossed area.
Cut out the heart with a Tonic Die, and then I  used a Tattered Lace Chantilly Rose border die,
round the edge of the heart.
The flowers are made from a die with no name 
I bid for and won on EBay.
I think they are Gerber Daisies.

Thank you for your visit, and time.
I very much appreciate it.
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.

NEW BABY BOY CARD

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

Wasn't the weather awful over the BH weekend.
I think it was like that over most the country.
Such a pity for those who work, as it's the last
one till Christmas now.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful
comments on my Rudolf creation.

Now I have a New Baby Boy card to show you,
as I was asked by my daughter's partner to make
this for a colleague.
Still have to make the box to go with it.





This is a 8"x8" size card made from PMD A3
white card.
The coloured card is PMD too.
The papers and the image are from the Joanna
Sheen Baby Love CD which by the way you
can no longer buy.
Square Doilies from the Ribbon Box, I had to
do little construction to make them fit my image.
I also used some snippets from my my snippets 
box for some of the die cuts.

Thank you again for your precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following

WEDDING CARD AND BOX

Hi to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and comments.
I really do appreciate everyone that you make.

My granddaughter and my little great granddaughter's were bridesmaids on Saturday,
at my granddaughters best friends wedding.
Now the bridesmaids were wearing yellow, so I 
like to incorporate that colour into my wedding
cards.
So today I am showing the card I made for the
happy occasion.






The card is a 8"x8" size and box.
I used ivory pearlised card, and coloured my
card yellow with Pan Pastel.
I used a mask I have used before and coloured
the embossed detail yellow through the mask.
Now I used some snippets out of my snippets
box for some of the die cuts so I will be off
to collect the keys to the playground with this.

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

DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi to everyone that visits me.
Thank you for your visit, and if you decide to 
leave me a comment I am very grateful.

Still trying to play catch up on lots of my 
household jobs I couldn't do while I had my 
slipped disc.
I also have lots of Birthdays, Anniversaries, and
commissions for this month.
I really need to get my skates on or they won't
get finished in time.
Just hope Mr Mojo doesn't decide to have a 
walkabout.

Today is my Daughter's Birthday, and she loves
tulips so I decided to use this theme for her 
card.




This is a 8"x8" size card.
I didn't have enough peach pearlised card so 
inked some ivory with Wild Honey Distress
Ink.
I printed the lovely tulip paper onto the same 
ivory pearlised card from my Cupcakecrafting
 CD Floral Delights, by Andrew Hull.
I used my Di-namics Dizzy Doily die and put
one on top of the other to give this pattern.
I really like how this die has a completely 
different design when one is put on top of the
other and twisted.

Thank you again for visit and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLIES, BUTTONS, AND BOWS

Hi and welcome to my blog, all my craft loving 
friends ,and visitors.
A big welcome to my newest follower, and thank
you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope you pop back often to see what I am 
posting.

I was overwhelmed by you wonderful comments
on my last 2 creations.
It was well worth all the hard work creating that
word book.
I forgot to say I didn't use a book template that
you are able to buy, I made mine with some
large Alphabet templates I own, and I did all 
the measurements for this my self, and cut out
the letters by hand, as someone had asked about
it.
I made 7 of these such books in different colours
about 4 years ago for my children for Christmas,
but in my excitement I forgot to photograph them.

Now today I have a card I have made for the  2nd
butterfly challenge  for this fortnight which you
will find  HERE  .
In this fortnights challenge you have to use 3 bs
Butterfly, Button, and a Bow, so here is my attempt.


CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I made the organza flowers with ribbon, and 
added a button to the center.
I added a button to the center of my bow too.

Thank you for your visit and time.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BLACK AND WHITE BIRTHDAY CARD AND CUPCAKES.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented
craft friends and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing again for a while.
As I stated last time Mr Mojo is on walkabouts,
and I am really struggling to create at the mo.
So in between I have been catching up with lots 
I have to get done before I have my op.

Now today I have finished a card for my daughter
in laws Birthday. I really struggled with this it 
took me days rather than just hours.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.


Now some cupcakes I made for my little 
granddaughter's Birthday Party.


The card is a 8"x8" size card.
I started by using my Cosmic Shimmer Pearly
Glue to make different size pearly dots, all 
around the card.
I used my Tattered Lace Chantilly Flourish Die,
to create the inner corners.
The flowers are Spellbinders Rose Creations Die,
used in a different way, and distressed with Black 
Soot Distress Ink.
The leaves are from a Cheryl lynn C184 Flower
Die, and cut out on a lovely shimmer paper.
The stamp inside is a saying from a Creative
Expressions Stamp Set.
The Birthday Stamp was a freebie from a
magazine this month, and I used Seafoam White
embossing powder.

Now the cupcakes were made with a mold I 
bought from C and C and sprayed with cake
shimmer spray.

Thank you again for visit and time.
I do hope you all have a really fab weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
