CHRISTMAS CARD AND BOX

Hi, and a big warm welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Also a big warm welcome to anyone that just pops in to look at what I have created.

Well we have had snow in my part of Kent it snowed all day on, and off just lightly, but yesterday evening we had about 3 inches.

It is snowing slightly at the moment too.

So you all know where I am going to be today.

While cleaning my teeth this morning one of my fillings dropped out so I now have a great hole in there, typical as I'm not going out in this weather to the dentist.

Luckily it's not aching yet or I'll have to.

I made this card a box before Christmas, and haven't had the time to show it yet.

I was asked to make this with quite short notice for someone for their partner.

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

The Robin image in the centre was from an re-cycled Christmas card.

I used my Crafters Companion embossing folder with Christmas words again.

Cut up at Tattered Lace Holly Frame die to fit the aperture.

Sentiment done on the computer, and edged with a red sharpie pen. 

Finally I added a flower arrangement with berries.

I would like to enter this into the Allsorts Challenge, and the things beginning with B are Bird, Branch, Bow, Berries, and finally Box.

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

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

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.

SNOWMAN IMAGE CHRISTMAS CARD

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

I made this Christmas card before Christmas, and never got to show it due to me being ill.

So I thought I would post it today.

I have a few more I made also to show  over the next few weeks.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The image of the snowman is a Hunkydory one, and I added some snow to the image.

The holly frame is a Tattered Lace one which I die cut 3 times, and glued together to make it stand out.

The silver glitter card is from the pound shop and it's brilliant as it doesn't shed glitter.

Red beads came from the bits left over from my Christmas wreaths.

Wooden snowflakes bought at Sainsbury's last year, and glittered.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
