CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR WISHES

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
I do hope you all have had a really great Christmas, and are looking forward to a fab 
NEW YEAR.

Thank you for your wonderful comments through
out the this past year.
I very much appreciate every one that is made.

I have another design of my Christmas Calender
card to show you.
This shows how very versatile this digi image is
from the Pink Gem web site.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This is an 8"x 8" size card.
I embossed the lovely green pearlised card with 
my embossing folder that came with my E Bosser.
I added a gold doily underneath the calender digi
image and some gold mirri corners.
Inside I die cut the gold mirri as I rand out of the
gold doilies.
I rather like the luxurious look of the green with
the gold.

Thank you again for your visit.
I do hope you are managing to get a little craft
slotted into your busy lives.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

hope you return to see what I'm up to often.

Thank you also to my followers who continually

The little craft fair I did with my niece wasn't a
very good success. Not many peeps came only
a few that were connected with the disabled club
she attends  and their friends. Still it was a nice
afternoon with lots of lovely disabled people
who were really lovely jolly, and friendly.

Today I have one of the little boxes I made for
the fair. This was made from my snippets left
over after I make my boxes for the 8"x8" size
cards. So you know by now what challenge this
is going into. I do love this challenge, and I have
made such a lot of new blog friends by entering it.

Spellbinders Parisian Border Die cuts.

MILK BOTTLE CARTONS FOR CRAFT FAIR.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my talented friends, and visitors.
I am so sorry I have been missing again, but as
some of you suggested I have had quite a few 
orders when my daughter's colleagues saw my
Baby Card.
I also have been making milk carton boxes for
the craft fair on Saturday.
Originally I was only going to help my niece 
with her stall, but my sister in law suggested I
take some of my craft things as well.
Now my niece is disabled and makes brilliant
cards, so I didn't want more of the same thing
on the stall so I was in a quandary what to do 
till I was visiting Carole Zorro's blog and she 
had these lovely milk cartons on there.
You will find her blog HERE  please try and
make her a visit as she makes wonderful cards,
and other fabulous projects.

So here is what I have been working on.

Now I made all these with the Lidl card I 
bought a few weeks ago, just adding a few 
embellies. This card was slightly bigger than A4., and there was 30 sheets of it for the gorgeous 
price of £1-99. So I do hope they get some more
in soon. 
I have also made some jewellery boxes out of snippets, so I will show them next week.

Thank you again for your visit and comments,
I really do appreciate your time spent visiting me.
Hopefully I will manage to get round to visting
you also, with the heavy work load I have  at the moment.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

A4 BABY BOY CARD

Hi and welcome to my very talented followers,
and visitors.
I am so sorry I haven't been about for a few days.
I am trying to get a lot of crafty projects ready
for a craft fair I am doing with my niece, next 
weekend, and time has just ran away with me.
In between I was asked to make a Baby Card 
for my daughter, as one of her Co workers wife
has had a Baby Boy, and she wanted an A4 size
card so they could all put their congratulations in
it.
So this is what I made, this fulfills 2 things as 
the blue die cuts and the corners were made
form snippets off other cards I have made, so
I can enter it into the Pixies Playground 
Challenge, Yay.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This is an A4 size card.
The papers and the image are from Joanna Sheens
Baby Love CD.
I decided to play around with my Spellbinders
Grand Scolloped Squares for the design under
the image.
I cut out 2 squares, and used one in a triangle,
and then cut the second up and glued behind the
first to give it this pattern.
I added some pearls, gems, and little rosebuds
from my stash.
I glued some cut outs off the Parisian Dies 
around my sentiment.
Then I added a big bow.

Thank you again for your visit and time, and 
also Thank you for your wonderful comments,
on my last card.
I do hope you are all having a wonderful crafty
weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

THANK YOU CARD.

Hi and welcome to all my friends and visitors.
I do hope you are having a good week so far,
and managing to get lots of craft slotted in.
Thank you for all your comments on my last card,
and box.
I very much appreciate your comments and time spent visiting me as I know we are all so busy.

Today I have a card I made for Christine Harrop
to say thank you for a lend of a die.

CLIC TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This card is just under 6"x6" size.
I made the base card from my snippets left over
from when I make an 8"x8" card out of A3 card.
I happen to know Christine likes purple.
The paper is Papermania Capsule Collection.
This is only a one sided paper so I photo copied
it on to card, and then photo copied a contrast
one on the back to make it double sided.
Then I made my flower out of the Heartfelt
Creations Sunkissed Fleur Stamp. I had to cut
out the flowers by hand as I am waiting for the 
die to be delivered.
I coloured my flowers and leaves with Whisper pens, and then sprayed them with water with 
Mica Powder in it to give it a slight pearly and
sparkle effect.
Cautionary tale use gloves for this as I had purple
hands for a few days.
While the card was wet with mica water I scrunched the edges of the flower to give it the
look you now see.
I got this idea from the Heartfelt Creations blog
that you can find  Here.

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

Ivory Pearl Card.
I decoupaged the veil and bow, and added some

them yet till the wedding day.
