60th BIRTHDAY CARD, BOX, AND TISSUE BOX

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

How are you coping with the heat. 

  I am not very good withthe hot weather it drains me of energy.

Luckily it's a lot cooler today at last.

So I thought I would post a card I made recently for one of my Daughter's bosses.

  

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

I also made a Tissue box for her and was asked to put Daffodils on both as the lady in question was born in Wales like myself.

She was very pleased with everything.

The paper used is  Hunkydory Garden Treasures luckily I bought 2 of that collection.

The die used around the aperture is a Tattered Lace one, the Happy Birthday die is a Paper Boutique one.

The Daffs, Butterflies and Foilage are Cranation Crafts dies.

Numbers dies are cheap from Amazon.

The little cards inside were made with a small daffs die that I was lent, I believe it was a Joanna Sheen die that came with one her magazines a few years ago, and I coloured them with promarkers.

Then I punched out 2" circles with snippets of paper left over from the tissue box, and cut them in half to make a bowl for the Daffs to sit in.

Sorry I forgot to photograph that.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my very telented and craft loving friends.

Hope everyone out there is keeping well and not affected by this awful virus.

On Wednesday last week it was my sister's 57th Anniversay and she lives in Wales so I had to make a card that was quite flat for postage.
Every Year she puts up every card I have made her over the years I have been making cards.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used Paper Boutique paper pad Flutterbies,and Butterflies.

This was a freebie from C&C club a few years back.

I made the heart aperture flat for posting.

Used a Tattered Lace Die to cut the paerture and  for around the aperture.
The leaves and the bow were Snippets left over from another card I made.
Not sure if this is a little busy with the two different papers used.

Thank you as always for your visit and precious time.

MALE RETIREMENT CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

I do hope everyone had a nice weekend.

I was asked to make a retirement card for a colleague at my Daughter's works recently.

It was a request that needed to be made quickly so good old Hunkydory images to the rescue.

The person in question has worked for my Daughter's company for 38 years and what dedication to work there for so long, and help lots of clients that have learning difficulties.

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

The Hunkydory card stock and images were a Hunkydory free gift from their site back last year I think, you just pay £2.99 for the postage. 

I included ten 5"x5" cards in the pockets for everyone to sign and give their own greetings.

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

It's the first of the month and time for another challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The challenge theme this month is At The Beach.

You have to the end of the month to enter the challenge, I do hope you can.

I must admit I found this one a little hard till I remembered some stamps I had from Creative Stamping Magazine a few years ago so I created a beach scene.

  

This is a 7"x7" size card.

I started by water colouring my

my sky, sea, and sand with a selection of Izink Inks on water colour card.

I then used some pearlised white ink to create the waves, and also sone white gel pen too.

I then stamped my sandcastle, birds, and sentiment on my trusted Misti to the scene.

Then I paper pieced  the beach hut, bucket and spade, deck chair, and parasol to the scene which I coloured in with Promarkers.

The inside was stamped by hand with shells which are an Inkylicious

stamp.

I was quite pleased with the result.

Please pop over to the challenge blog to see the lovely creations made by my team friends.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

How are all of you managing with the new measures that we have been given.

I am really scared to venture out after all it's still out there and I am 71 years of age so have been self isolating for 10 weeks now and I am into my 11th this week.

Luckily I have always been okay with my own company.

Finding it very hard to get into crafting though as I think my mojo is in sleep mode.

I visited a friends blog recently and she had a lovely card on her blog which I asked if I could case for my Son's Birthday, as I was struggling what to put on his card this year. 

Brenda used stamps which I didn't have so improvised.

You can find her lovely card
HERE 
Please pop over and give her some lovely comments and follow if you are not already following her.

So onto my version of Brenda's card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I inked some watercolour card stock with a mixture of DIs
to give a look of a night sky
 hopefully it looks like it.
I add some flicks of glitter pen mixed with water to look like small stars.
Then also added some blobs for bigger stars.
 I used a round punch for the moon and coloured it with different  inks  and finally added some white pearlised ink round the edges and accross the moon to give it some atmosphere.
