These are all 5"x5" in size.

I rounded off the corners on all of them.

The Holly die cut I heat embossed with pearl embossing powder and used some red Nuvo drops on the berries.

GRANDDAUGHTER'S 15th BIRTHDAY CARD

 

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

I know I am a very bad blogger at the moment just finding it hard to get everything done these days, as my hip is very bad and I can't have the op as I suffer with Restless Leg Syndrome which means my leg jumps lots at night and if I have the op the jumping could put the new hip out.

Sorry about the March challenge over at Moving Along With the Times I have only just seen it otherwise I would have taken down my post.


This is a 8"x8" size card.

The glitter card is Tonic and the paper is from a 12"x12" pad from the Range.

Now as I can only get two full sheets of this paper to fit the card I had to join  it so I used a strip of the glitter card to cover the join.

I made the flowers and leaves with dies and also the stick pin just below the bow.

Numbers dies are Carnation Crafts.


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.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE..............FEBRUARY 2023 ENTRY

 

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

It's time for another Rudolf Days Challenge over at Scrppymo's Blog and as it's not my month for DT I can enter the challenge.

These cards I made late last year and haven't shown them yet, but some of my blog friends may have received them for Christmas 2022.






Both cards are 6"x6" in size.

They are very similar in style I just stamped the design slightly differently.

I stencilled that background with a Lavinia Stencil.

Then I used some freebie stamps from and old Stamping Magazine.

The sentiment is a freebie one also.

I coloured the image of the Robin sitting on the planting pots with Derwnt Water Colouring Pencils.

I also stamped the envelopes to match as well.


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.


I would like to enter this into the following challenges.
