90th BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

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

I do hope you have all had a wonderful weekend.

Are any of you having trouble commenting on my blog as my dear blog friend has mentioned she an't comment on my blog since blogger changed.

If any of you are, please let me know through an email, and I will see if I can do anything about it.

My email address is on the top of my blog where it says contact me.

A couple of weeks ago I said I had to make cards for family well I was asked to make this card, and box by my DIL for her friends Grand Mother.

They call her Nanny Teapot so could I include a teapot and cup and saucer in the card.

Here is what I created, and the payment for the card went to

 Children in Need. 

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

I started by trying out something with Gilding Polish, and Pixie Powders.

I used Enchanted Gold Gilding Polish on white card, and then I sprinkled Pixie Powders Lava Red, and Rich Gold when it was dry I put it through an embossing folder.

The roses I made out of pink 160 gsm paper with gilding polish on it and put Glamour Dust on them.

Thank you for you visit and your wonderful comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY ON SATURDAY

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

Just a quick post from me today as I have family staying, but wanted to join Erika HERE.

With an Oldie for Friday, but on Saturday as I had my GD card to post yesterday.

This is a card set I made a few years ago with this stamp.

  

I stamped the backgrounds with Fired Brick DI and then inked the edges.

I stamped out the poinsettias and coloured them in with the same DI.

I also did the envelopes and the bag is an old Pandora one I up-cycled.

This made a very lovely little set for a present. 

Thank you so much for your visit and time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

  

GUEST DESIGN FOR THE LAST RUDOLF CHALLENGE OF THIS YEAR 2016

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

Today starts the last Rudolf Challenge of this year.

I am a GD this month with 3 other lovely blog friends that are joining me in the GD spot.

The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month over at Scappymo's blog HERE. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Maureen for all her hard work involved with this wonderful challenge, and also for having me as a GD for the latter part of the year.

I know this year has been a rather very busy one for her. for personal reasons, so to make the time to sort out all the work of the challenge just shows how dedicated to it she is.

Well onto my last GD card for this year.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used my Graphic 45 papers from the 8"x8" and the 12"x12" Children's Hour paper pad.

I cut out all the wonderful elements you get with the paper pads and decoupaged them to the front of the card.

I also cut out some poinsettias with a Robert Addams Die which I won a few years ago on the Pixies Snippets Playground.

Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.   JENNY.

You only have to create one project a month.

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

Now I did tell you I was hooked on making tags, and as Loll's 12 Tags for Christmas is still open till Friday I just had to make another one.

So here is the design I came up with.

   

I started with black snippets card to make my tag shape.

I then covered the whole of the tag with Brilliance Moonlight White Pigment Embossing Ink, and then heat embossed it with Sea Foam White Embossing Powder.

This gave my tag a lovely texture.

I then put Gilding Polish Enchanted Gold on top, and polished it with a tissue.

Finally I stamped some lovely Fir Branches with Pine Needles DI.

Then I added my Hunkydory Snowman image, and a sentiment.

Lastly I dyed some seam binding ribbon with the same DI.

Thank you for your visit.

TIME CLOCK EASEL CARD

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

I do hope you are all keeping well, and for those of you not feeling well at the moment sending big hugs your way to try and help.

Well what a busy week I am having as all the challenges I like to support need an entry, and it's my DT card tomorrow for the MAWTT challenge also.

So here is a card I made for the Allsorts Challenge this week.

The clock face is from an old PVC tablecloth which needed replacing.

So rather than throw it away I cut out the best clock faces hoping to use them one day.

So some of them came in very handy for this card.

I die cut a circle frame twice out of black card to make it a little thicker.

I added some black, and clear rhinestones to the edges, and some butterflies, and then pearls to the hands of the clock.

I do hope this counts as Snippets as I would like to join my friends over at the Snippets Playground with this also.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ENCHANTED FOREST CARD

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

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

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment.

Today I have a card I made with some of my lovely Graphic 45 papers from the Enchanted Forest Series.

This is a 8"x8" size card I made from black card.

The green shade of card is from Tonic, and distressed the edges with scissors.

The papers, and images are from the Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest 8" pad.

I painted some inside of cardboard with Starlight paints in the top right hand corner.

The leaves are die cut from black card painted with Starlight paints.

My mesh flowers had a plastic backing on them so I took that off to give them a messy look, and sprayed them with Phill Martin's Old Gold Shimmer Mist.

Sorry that doesn't show up too good in the photo.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY QUOTES CARD

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

I do hope you all have had a good week.

I have been quite busy myself with lots of jobs to catch up on because when I craft lots of jobs get put on hold as I get so involved with my crafting.

 Well I tell a little white lie as I did make a couple of cards in between for the challenges I like to support.

So here is my entry into the Butterfly Challenge this time around.

This card is a 7"x6" size.

I found this lovely quote on the Internet with the lovely butterflies surrounding it so I printed it off and decoupaged the gorgeous butterflies.

I added a Sakura Glitter pen in red and black to the wings, and antenna of the butterflies.

I also drew around the lovely flourishes, and leaves with the pen also.

Thank you so much for you visit.
