LAST RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE OF 2020....DT CARDS

 

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

 

Well its the 25th of the month yet again and time for the last Rudolf Days Challenge of 2020 over at

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

As always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

You have to the end of the month to enter.

One Entry per Person.

I would like to take this oppertunity to thank Maureen for having me yet again as one of her wonderful Design Team and all the hard work involved in running this great challenge.

  It's been a great pleasure to work with some very talented DT friends also.

So here are my last 2 cards for this year.

 


These are both 8"x8" size cards.

The first one is another Napkin image from Anna Marie.

Anna Marie paper sprayed with gold mica spray.

Poinsettias and foilage are Tattered Lace Dies.

The second card is a Hunkydory Image.

I found the Carol music on the web and the paper I used was copied from the back of a package of some food which I cannot remember what, but isn't it so pretty I could not throw it away.

For my floral bouquet I rolled up some snippets of red card to make 3 cylinders and tied them together with a ribbon then added ivy leaves, berries, and some small flowers.

Finished it all off with snow paste around the deges and glitter to the image.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

 

I would like to enter the first card into the following challenges.

FAMILY OF PENGUINS

 

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

 

Something a little different today.

Last year I made snowmen if you remember for a Christmas Bazzar we were having where I live I also made penguins too, but never posted them so here they are.

 

I say they are a family because they all came out different sizes and they look like Daddy, Mummy, and Child.

If you would like to know how to make them there are plenty of U TUBE videos.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

ANOTHER NAPKIN TECHNIQUE CHRISTMAS CARD

 

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

 

I have another Christmas card made with the napkin technique.

I fell in love with design napkin as soon as I saw it and had to make a card with it.

Was quite pleased with how it turned out.

 



This is a 8"x8" size tent style card I made out of A4 card stock.

The Gunmetal shade of card was black on the reverse side so I glued two pieces together so I could have the same shade inside the card.

The napkin is a Anna Marie one.

I decided to put the image in an aperture and added some pearl stings around the edge, and some glitter to the image.

Then I added a couple of bows and some white and yellow flowers and foilage for my arrangement.

 

Thank you so much for you visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

25th ANNIVERSARY ALBUM AND BOX

 

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

 

My youngest Son and his wife celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary in September, and this is what I made them.

 

   









This Album is 7"x7" in size and a box I made to fit it.

I made lot of mistakes on this Album, so hence the ribbon spine and the lace die cuts at the back of the Album.

I used lots of different dies on the making of this they include Tattered Lace, Tonic, Sue Wilson,

and an old flower die which I can't remember the make of.

I just wish I hadn't penned the doodling around the picture mounts.

A lesson learnt for next time.
