HUSBAND'S 57th ANNIVERSARY CARD


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

A neighbour popped in the other day quite late in the afternoon to ask if I had any Anniversary cards as it was her 57th Wedding Anniversary the next day, and she needed a card for her hubby.
Now I only make Anniversary cards when asked , and don't keep any stock of them which I must rectify.
So I made her this card specially in about an hour. 



This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers are Graphic 45.
The numbers are wooden which I painted with Starlight paint Agean
to try and match the papers.
This paint dries in mins so it's perfect.
The heart die is a Tonic one.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

GRANDDUAGHTER'S ANNIVERSARY CARD


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

I do hope you are all having a good weekend, and the weather is being kind to you wherever you live.

Well when I mentioned my cards I had to make  I left my Granddaughter out, but luckily I made hers the week before last.

Now her Birthday is on the 14th and the same day as my other Granddaughter's 5th Wedding Anniversary.
So here is the Anniversary card I finished this morning, and I can show it as she doesn't look at my blog.



The card I used for this is Hunkydory Ombre card stock which is light blue at the top, and ending up green at the bottom.
I cut out a circle in white card, and the made a heart aperture with a Tonic die.
Then I used my Tattered Lace Shabby Offset Oval Die for the lacy pattern in the inside of the heart.
 Had to cut it up so it would fit.
Then I cut out lots of little flourishes that came with the Square Shabby Offset Dies to go around the outside of the heart.
Made the flowers and inked them with DOI Broken China, and Cracked Pistachio 
Hope you like it as I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

Hi and welcome to my part of blog land all my 
craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I am so glad you like my efforts of creating.

I seem to have slowed to snails pace this year as
it takes me so long to do things.
I get up in the morning and before long it's night
time again, and I think hang on what happened to
the day.
I need a 48 hour day me thinks.
I am also very behind with my card making.
For example today is my Son and his Wife's 
15th Wedding Anniversary, and I only made this
card yesterday afternoon.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used the Sue Wilson Heart Lattice embossing 
folder.
The heart dies are Tonic.
The corner die is Spellbinders.
The organza roses are from the works.
I stamped my sentiment with DI Worn Lipstick.
I used some heart snippets for the inside so I 
am off to the Snippets Playground with this.

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

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving 
friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my newest follower, 
and thank you so much for choosing to follow me,
and I do hope you pop by as often as your time allows. 

Sorry I have been AWOL for a few days.
Have been very busy making more cakes for
the Macmillan Coffee morning tomorrow, this 
is my second round of making cakes, as last 
week I made them for my daughter's works
coffee morning.
Phew I don't want to bake another cake for 
a while now.
Standing and baking has aggravated my hips,
so I have been having a few probs there too.
I also have had a family bereavement, my 
dear uncle and the last of my Dad's siblings
has passed away.
So I didn't feel much like blogging.

Today I have an Anniversary card I should
have posted yesterday, as it was a blog friends
25th Wedding Anniversary.
I think she has received it now hopefully.





This is a 8"x8" size card.
I embossed my card with the Teresa Collins
embossing folder Sophisticated.
The backing to my hearts is Indigo Blu Mica
Flakes Eton Mess
The Heart Die is Tonic.
The leaves are the Sue Wilson Faux Quilled
Leaves Die.
I made the organza flowers, again with my 
heat gun.

I am off to the hospital tomorrow, about the
top of my spine, so we will see what's going
with it.
Thank you for you visit and your wonderful
comments.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

WHITE AND GOLD WEDDING CARD AND BAG

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

Well that's another weekend bit the dust, and it will be soon the C season, and a very busy time
for all of us.
My daughter told me they had C stuff in some of
the shops in the middle of August.
Well they are bringing it forward, every year that 
passes, and soon they will have it in the shops at
Easter. lol.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments on
my last card.
I very much appreciate them.

Today I have a commissioned Wedding Card,
and bag to show you.
Now I have not made a bag before only a box,
but I keep seeing Rita's HERE on her blog, and 
the other week Mrs Duck made an excellent one 
HERE  so please visit their blogs if you don't
already do so.
So here is my first effort, needless to say I have
another order for one at the end of October.





The size of the card is an 8"x8" made from
Centura Snow White Pearl A3 card.
The bag is made from 2 A3 PMD white card.
I paper pierced the top layer of my Centura
Pearl card and mounted it on the gold paper,
with foam tape.
My hearts are Tonic Dies, and I intertwined
some pearls strands through the design.
The lovely satin daisies I bought at the NEC
in March, and were a bargain at £1, but sadly
they had no more, otherwise I would have
bought quite a few.
Other bits from my stash.
I used up some snippets of Centura Pearl on
some of the die cuts, so I will be off to join the
playground with this.

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