GETTING INKY AGAIN FOR THIS ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

Also a big warm welcome to anyone that just pops by to look at my work.

I would love you comment if you can, spare the time.

Well I do hope you all had a great weekend.

I have been getting inky again for a couple of challenges.

So I made this card with an Anniversary in mind that is next month.

Been doing a happy dance again as I am pleased with how this turned out again.

 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I got my Izink inks out again to play, and make my background by inking my glass mat and mopping up the ink drying with the heat gun between each layer.

I then cut out the trellis corner with the JND Sandwich Box Die.

I also inked up some more paper with my inks to make the rose.

I spritzed them all with Tattered Angels Mica spray to give them a lovely sheen.

I also made my rose leaves out of snippets of paper, and inked those too.

The die cut leaves were also cut from snippets of card, and  mopped up ink, and the mica spray.

Stamped my sentiment on more snippets with the  ink.

The silver bling butterflies on a string were sent to me by my sister.

I used Pink, Purple, and Pearls on my Butterfly Challenge entry.

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

I really do appreciate every visit, and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

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.

NEWS PRINT FLOWER TAG

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

I am back today with a tag I made to join in the Allsorts Challenge.

I also used some snippets of crochet lace, and my news print flower is from snippets also.

So I will be joining my good friends in the playground of the Pixie's Snippets Challenge with this.

Miss Di is away this week, and the lovely Jane is standing in for her.

So thank you very much for helping Miss Di out this week Jane.

This tag is 6"x4" in size.

I started out with a cream tag I made, and then inked it with Rusty Hinge DI, I also used this on the flower,and my doily.

I added Phil Martins Old Gold Gilding wax to the edges, and the edges of my doily and flower also.

On the bottom layer I used a mask and Phil Martins Chic Pumpkin sparkle texture paste.

I added my snippet of cotton crochet lace.

I inked my seam binding ribbon with RH/DI as well to give it the colour I wanted.

Finally I added a cabochon to the bow which I used gilding wax on too.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

WEDDING CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
So sorry I have been missing for a couple of days.
I have had lots of bits of house work to catch up
on, and a small amount of gardening,  to also 
catch up on.

My eldest sister in Wales the one that had the op
suddenly also asked me to make her this wedding
card, and box for her Grandson.
So I have just finished it.
On the card are some hand made roses I made
with the help of a wonderful blog friend Pamellia's
UTube Tutorial which you will find HERE.
I didn't have the Tim Holtz flower die she used 
so I used my Spellbinders Rose Creation Die, 
and you only need one size petal cut 6 times for
the whole rose.

This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit.
I also made the leaves I used on the flower spray
using a method John Lockwood showed on C&C.
I didn't see the program, but I heard some blog
friends talking about how he had done it, so I 
had a go.
What I did was the paper I had wet, and
crumpled for the roses I rubbed DI in different
shades of green all over, and then cut out my 
leaves from the same Rose Die.
I then added some Fired Brick DI to the top 
edges.

Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you make.
It means a great deal to me, and I am so pleased
you like my work.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Today I have a card I made for my 
Granddaughter, and her husband for next week.
I can show it as I know she doesn't look at my
blog.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I made the flowers out of my Spellbinders
Rose Creations Die, and am quite pleased with
how they turned out, as I like to get more than
one flower from my flower dies.
I used the Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue dots in 
silver round the edges, and I like how they 
look blue to go with the card.

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

Hi and good afternoon or early evening, dear
blog friends and visitors.
Wow is it HOT! HOT! HOT! where you are.
Yesterday was very HOT and I had to go 
singing, and the venue was upstairs in this
particular nursing home.
I don't know about you but my brain gets all
muddled in the HOT weather, well that's my
excuse in any rate.
Well you know that my little group of singers 
are all retired, and we do this to raise funds for
The Dame Vera Lynn Charity for children with
Cerebral Palsy. Well we had a letter thanking us
and saying that we had raised over four 
thousand pounds so far. I am so glad I have
joined them for such a worthy cause.

Thank you for your comments on my Baby 
Book Card.
You all are so very kind to visit me and leave
your wonderful comments.

Today I have another Baby Girl Card, both 
my book one and this one will be sent to 
Wales to my sister for her granddaughter, who
is due her first baby on the 14th August. I just hope it cools a little by the time she goes into
labour.

Britannia Rose Die the largest size, and
changed the colour  with Promarkers.
The largest Rose I made with the Spellbinders
Rose Creation Die.

21st BIRTHDAY CARD and RED ROSE SHOES

Good morning dear blog friends and visitors.
I do hope all is okay with all of you at this present
time.
We have had wonderful sunshine for the last few
days, but still very windy, in my part of Kent.
We also had very heavy rain over night, I don't 
mind the rain over night, as it fills my water butt
up for me. Then it doesn't cost me money to water
my plants, and that's more money for craft goodies.lol.

Thank you for all your fabulous comments on my
last creation. I do love to read all what you have to
say about my work.
I very much appreciate you sparing the time out
of your busy day to visit me and comment.

Now to something different, my good blog friend
Flora put on her blog a beautiful flowered pair of
wellies, well I was saying to her about my flowered shoes and promised to post a picture of
them. Well here it is, and guess what it has butterflies ingrained in the sole too, and you know
how much I love butterflies so I had to have them.

have gathered.

Creations Die.

CUPCAKE BAKER

Good evening dear blog friends and visitors.
I hope you have had a really good Saturday.
I have been looking after my 2 little great granddaughters today,
Ellie and Faye.
They both are soooooooo cute but then I'm biased as I'm their
great Nanny.
The eldest one who is Faye calls me little Nanny and my daughter
her Nan is big Nanny.
When I was a child I called my great Nanny big Nanny but little
Faye likes it the other way round bless her.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments on my work.
I really do appreciate everyone that is made, and thank you for
taking the time to visit my blog, as I know that you all have very
busy lives.

My card today is one I made after my great grandchildren went
home, but first I had to have a little nap as I got worn out looking
after them.
I coloured the image last night and then made up the card 
earlier this evening.
 The image was a freebie from the Whoopsi Daisy Images,
and I coloured it in with a mixture of Flexmarkers, Promarkers,
and Tria Markers. 

Click to enlarge.

Now the inside.

I have used Dovecraft London Line papers, Di-namics Dizzy
Doily Die, 3 times under the image and inside, I cut the 3rd
one in half to get the bigger round effect.
The image is as I stated earlier, the flowers are the smallest
ones in the Spellbinders Rose Creations Die, they are glued 
onto a spray from the Spellbinders Foliage 2 Die, and the 
butterflies are Memory Box Moonlight Butterlies.

TAG No 4 AND BLOG CANDY

Hi and another good morning to all my very talented followers
and visitors.
I hope you all had wonderful weekend, and that you managed to 
slot some crafting in somewhere over the weekend.
THANK YOU for all the lovely comments and Birthday wishes
for my Dads up and coming Birthday.
I will pass them all on to him today when I speak to him on the
phone.
I phone him every morning to see how he is and what he is going
to be doing that day.
My sister that makes the lovely jewellery lives quite near him
and looks after him so well.
I forgot to mention yesterday the reason I made his card in
red was because he has just had his kitchen refurbished,
and it's all red and white now, and I put the tarten paper on it
because my Great Grandfather was from Scotland.

My post today is my 4th Tag.
I got the idea for this because I had cut out the flourish part for 
my last tag, and the bits of flower left from that one were sitting
on the top. I kept looking at it out the corner of my eye as you 
do, and thought yes I'll make another tag out of that as it looks
so nice. 

Click on the photo to get a closer look.

Now to my candy.
As I'm getting very near to 30 followers. I thought I would show
you the candy for when we reach that magic number. I have been
adding a few things to it nearly every week since I started.
Amongst it all is a 12x12 plastic box to store your papers, and 
some 12x12 paper in it, but the photo doesn't show it very well.
I have also been crocheting some flowers out of some lovely
metallic thread.

Thank you again for taking the time to visit my blog.
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

TAG No 3

Hi and good morning dear blog friends and visitors.
Well it's Wednesday and we are half way through the week
already.
I hope you all had a good day yesterday. 
I know the weather has been really awful for some, at least
the sun shone between the heavy showers here in Kent.
THANK YOU again for all your wonderful comments, and 
taking the time to pay my blog a visit.
I very much appreciate every one that is made.
Well you know certain blog friends said that making tags can
become addictive well they were right, because here comes
No: 3 I hope you like it.
I was quite pleased with how this one turned out, but what do
you think.

Now a close up of the roses.

I made this tag with my Cricut Machine and red and cream 
card stock.
I made my roses with the Spellbinders Rose Creations Die
and a metalic  looking paper I bought many moons ago from
C and C.
It does curl lovely where as some papers don't,  I'm not sure 
what makes the difference, but you will know when the paper
you choose doesn't stay curled nicely.
Sometimes it can just be better to cut your losses and try 
another one.
I added some red stones around the edges,  these were bought
from the pound shop.
Then I added some swirls from the Venetian Motif Die and 
also some red foliage from foliage die.
Finished it off with some Glossy Accents to make it look like
rain drops on it.
Thank you again for you visit.
Have a wonderful crafty Wednesday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

TAG NO 2

Hi and good morning to all my talented blog friends and visitors. 
I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday, and you managed
to fit in some crafting.
THANK YOU sooooooo much for all your lovely comments.
I really do appreciate everyone of them.
A small message for Patricia Howarth did you get my email 
about the boxes, if you didn't, send me an email and I will 
resend it.
My fellow blog buddy Carole Z left a comment yesterday
saying that tags can get addictive. Well she was right.
Because today we have No 2.
I hope you like it.

I made the tag on my Cricut Machine again this time using
the shadow button to create the layer.
I embossed the cream card layer with a Special Touch Mask
although you can't see much of it as I have covered most of it.
I then wrapped some lovely gold ribbon from my stash round
the bottom, I also used the same ribbon through the top of the
tag.
I cut a Spellbinders Venetian Motifs Die in black card.
I used kitchen baking parchment to stop the card sticking
in the die.
When this came out of the die it looked so pretty I decided to 
use it on top.
I used some of the Venetian swirls too.
I added a rose I had made quite a while ago out of a very
old book, with the Rose Creations Die.
I sprayed the rose with Crafterscompanion gold glitter spray.
Well that's it for today I hope you like my No 2 tag.
Thank you again for visiting and commenting on my blog.
Your opinions mean the world to me.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

A CARD AND BOX WITH ROSES

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you all had wonderful Monday, and that you managed
to find some time to craft.
Well it's Tuesday already, it only seems a short while since
I said it was Tuesday last week.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments on my work.
Every one makes me want to do a Happy Dance all around
my workshop.
You are so kind to visit me each day.
My card today is a card and box made for my other
daughter in law.
It was her 40th Birthday in January but I couldn't give this
to her on her Birthday as she and my Son were going to 
Florida on holiday for her 40th.
So I had to make them both small cards to take with them,
as their Birthdays are very close together.
So this card and box I gave her when she came home.
I couldn't have her miss out on a special card for such a 
Birthday could I.

Now the box.

The ingredients for this is.
An 8x8 shaped card.
I then matted in the same shape with Centura Snow White
pearl card.
I used a Creative Expression stamp and Stamped my edges
with a clear pigment ink.
I then brushed mica powder in blue all over the stamped 
images.
I added another mat of Turquoise Pearl Card Embossed
with the Special Touch Mask called Ivy.
I then added some Roses made from the Spellbinders Rose
Creations Die.
I also added some satin ribbon pleated along the bottom.
I finished it off with bow and some pearly swirls, also
flat backed pearls from my stash.
The box I made with A3 Centura Snow white pearl card.
Matted in a similar way to the card.
I then added a reverse colour roses to the box.
I hope you like my creation.
Thank you again for taking the time to visit my blog.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
