SNIPPETS CHRISTMAS CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving 
friends, and visitors.
Well the storm hit us and we survived without
any damage thank goodness.
I feel for anyone who wasn't so lucky as us.
I had a very restless night though as the noise kept waking me up.

My card today is for the Pixies Playground Snippets challenge, as it was made out of snippets.
I still find it amazing what you can create out of
snippets.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


This is a 6'x6' size card.
I embossed my snippets card with my embossing
folder that came with my E Bosser
Then I stamped the image on another snipptes
bit of card, and coloured it in with Promarkers.
I added some cosmic shimmer glue dots in red.
The sentiment stamp was a bargain from 
Papermania stamps set of 9 stamps for £1-99
I do love a bargain and these are excellent 
stamps for the price. I bought it at the Works.
I used a red Promarker round the edges of the
embossed card and the stamped image.

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

HALLOWEEN CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends
and visitors.
I am sorry I have been missing for a while, but 
I have had family come to visit, from up north,
and you know what it's like when you all get
together after a long absence.

I also had to finish a commission for 2 wedding
cards and boxes. The lady who ordered them 
wanted an A4 size card for the one so I had to
get my thinking cap on to make the box to go 
with it. Not made that size before. I was quite
pleased how they turned out, but can't show
them yet till the wedding day.

I had a little craft time yesterday so I made this
Halloween card.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



This is a 8'x8' Size card.
The Halloween Calendar is from the Pink Gem
web site. I won their challenge in September
and this is one of the images I chose.
The web doily is from a Martha Stewart Circle
Punch.
The Halloween bits I bought from Waitrose.

Thank you again for your visit.
I do hope you all have had fun creating while
I have been away.
Will be round to see what you are all posting

AUTUMNAL OWL CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
Thank you soooooooo! much for all your good
wishes about my eye op.
I have decided to listen to music and listening
books while having to do the posture thing for
5 days, that should take away the boredom. lol.

Thank you also for all your really kind comments
on my last card.
I have had a commission come in for 2 Wedding

commenting on your super creations at some

Now the inside.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
The paper used was from a few lovely snippets
of paper that I inherited from my Aunt after she
passed away. I just copied the small piece so I
could use it inside my card, because you know 
how I love to  have the inside to match.
The owl is a Tattered Lace Die I bought at 
Hobbycraft last week, I saw it and had to have 
it, as you do. lol.
I made my rosette with my Hougie Board.

FATHER CHRISTMAS CARD

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

May I welcome my newest members to my blog,
and thank you for choosing to follow me. I do 
hope you like what I have to offer and return
often.

Well I had an appointment about my eye probs
today. Will be having an op on my left eye within
the next 18 weeks.
The only downside to this op is I have to sit with
my top of my body bent over a table for 5 fays
after the op with a break of 10 mins every hour.
Then they are still not really sure of the outcome
as they have never seen my 2 fold problem, they 
have dealt with the one but not the 2 before.
So I suppose I am the guinea pig for others that
come along, maybe or am I unique. lol.
I always thought they broke the mould when 
they made me. lol.
Well enough of this waffling just wanted to let
you know that I will be off air so to speak when
it all goes on.

My card is made with one of my old wooden
Christmas stamps.
Sorry about the cutting out it is awful.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used my pigment ink again and stamped the
background card, and then Mica powdered it
with a soft brush.
I used another snippet of red card left over from
previous cards.
I stamped my image and coloured him in with
Promarkers.
I used Glossy Accents on the boots, but it 
doesn't look that good in the photo.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of love. JENNY.

POINSETTIA CHRISTMAS CARD

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

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days I was
a bit under the weather,  all this damp  has made 
my Arthritis play up so I thought I would have a 
few days rest. I suffer with  Osteoarthritis and have it in my spine so sometimes it affects my 
neck and lower back quite nastily if its' damp.
I will get around to looking in on your blogs 
today, hopefully.

Thank you for all your recent comments on my
Scary Mary Keepsake Box.
I very much appreciate them all.

I managed to craft a little yesterday, and this is
what I made for the Pixies Snippetts Challenge.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
I stamped all around the edge of the card with
a stamp my Niece lent me, coloured in the berries
with a Promarker.
I stamped the Poinsettia stamp all over the red 
bit of snippetts card with pigment ink, and then
brushed it all over with Mica Powder.
I stamped the Poinsettia stamp onto a bit of 
snippetts card again, and coloured the image in
with Promarkers again.
This is a really beautiful set of stamps my Niece
lent me.
She was the one that got me into card making
about 12 years ago.

CHRISTMAS SCENE CARD

Hi and welcome all my craft loving friends and
visitors.
I do hope you are having a great week so far.

Thank you for all your comments on my last
card.
I do appreciate your time, visiting me and making
your comments, as I know we all lead busy lives.

My card today is for Pixie Snippets Playground.
I made the snow scene with bits of left over card,
and I used Polar White Flower Soft  for the snow.
Now I wanted to do a sky, but I'm afraid my 
distress inks were not the right colour, so think
of it as a night sky or early evening so I added
some stickles to represent stars.

This is a 5"x5" scolloped card.
The clouds were given to me by the lovely
Sue P.
I have had the snowman and reindeer with the
googly eyes for about 3 years. I think they were

BABY CARD

Hi and welcome to my little corner of blog land.
I do hope you enjoy your visit, and continue to
visit my blog.

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my
last creation.
I do love to read what you have to say about my
work.

This is my entry into the Pixie Snippets
Playground this week.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


This is a 6"x6" size card.
The actual base card was made from the left
over card from my 8"x8" size cards.
The paper is from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love
CD. I used this piece on a Baby Girl Book  card
I made my sister a while back. So this what was
left for my snippets. It didn't quite fit the card
so I put a piece of silver mirri card between and
that was also a piece left over from the book card. I then covered it with lace and ribbon.
The beautiful cute image is from a Cd my 
hubby bought me from e bay.
The die cuts around the image are from the 
freebie  Christmas Tree Die I had with a craft
magazine. Just cut away the top  and slotted 
the bottom end over the image. 
I think it makes a rather lovely frame.
I then added some roses, and pearls from my
stash.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog,
and making such great comments on my work.

Coffee morning was a success we raised over
£200 pounds for the Macmillen Nurses.

My card today is one I made quite quickly last
night for one of my granddaughters who has 
just passed her test.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



This is a 4"x4" size card.
I matted the card with some black card.
I then cut out 16 Spellbinders Parisian Corner
Die pieces, and glued 4 of them back to back,
to create the squares you see.
I put 4 on this card, then added some black
pearls from my stash.
I added a congratulations banner, and did my 
usual inside.
I do hope you like this as I love the all different
designs it makes on the card.

FOLDED PAPER CHRISTMAS TREE

H i and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.

Thank you soooooo! much for all your lovely
comments on my little box of cards.
Now I have made a mistake silly me and forgot
the envelopes, typical of me, so I now have the 
task to make the envelopes to fit the cards, as I
don't have that size in my stash.

Well I have been quite busy today with baking
for the Macmillen  coffee morning tomorrow,
and looking after my great grandchildren for
a couple of hours this afternoon.

Yesterday I made a mistake with one of the 
challenges I entered.
I got the wrong end of the stick as usual.
The Frugal Christmas Card challenge was
supposed to be a Christmas card made out of
something that isn't already a Christmas image,
or die or such like. You can use Christmas 
paper and a sentiment, but he embllishment
or Christmas item should be made out of
something that is not Christmas.
So here is what I decided to make.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


This is a 5"x5" size card.
I coloured the edges with a promarker.
I embossed the dark green card with the 
Special Touch Mica Mask Ivy Background,
but I used the other side of it this time, because
I thought it looked a bit like holly.
I then cut my Christmas paper into 2" /2" and a
half, and 3" squares. I used the 3" square twice
on the bottom of the tree.
I then folded it like you would tea bag folding.
glued them all together and added some very 
small buttons and a ribbon.
I hope you like my idea, the tree folds fairly 
flat for posting..

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

and thank you for becoming a follower, and I
hope you like what you see, and return many

Now those of you that know my work know I
find it very hard to do minimal. lol.
Well wallah I think I have managed it this 
time. lol.

This little set is just under 4 inches square.
The Christmas Tree Die was a freebie with a
crafting magazine.
I embossed  the front of my cards with the 
Special Touch Mica Mask Ivy Background.
Now I don't think this looks like ivy at all, 
more like small leaves.
Added a gold Christmas peel off and wallah
a quick and easy project.
I also stamped a little Christmas verse inside
with gold pigment ink, but I forgot to 
photograph it.  Too eager to show you peeps.

Thank you again for your visit.

The weather here in the East of Kent has been 
like summer again for the last 4 days.

heat wave where ever you live.

I have another snippets card to show you.
I am really getting into the swing of using up

I have made.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


This is a 6x6 size card.
I made it with left over pieces of paper from
another project.

SNIPPETS EASEL CARD

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

Thank you soooooo much for your visit and
wonderful comments.

Today I am joining in with a challenge I have never entered before.
The challenge is to use up snippets of left over
paper or card from other cards you have made.
So here is my attempt, I made this card mainly
with bits left over from a previous cards, the only 
thing that I haven't used before is the gold doily. 

CLICK TO ENLARGE.



The card is a 6x6 size.
I made the card from bits of card left over 
from my Holly Fairy Card.
Even the card it's self was the left over bit.
I had to join the paper as it wasn't big enough
so I put some ribbon down the join.
I think this idea of using up your bits from left
over projects is fab.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.

She said he was a fan of anything vintage.
So this is what I came up with.

I distress inked the white card with Antique 
Linen Distress Ink to make it look vintage.
I matted with kraft card, and then cut out my
Grand Labels 1with gold mirri.
I then cut out the slightly smaller size in white
thin card and distressed this with Tea Die 
Distress Ink.
I then randomly stamped vintage images all
over to make it look like bought paper.
I added a computer sentiment to the  Nesting
Labels 1.
Finished my card off  with a Kanban Vintage
Topper, and some buttons from my stash.
The box I made to match with doubled up
card to make the box stronger , and then
decorated it to match.
The lady in question was very pleased with
the result.

WEDDING CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
I hope everyone out there is having a great week.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments on
my 2nd Christmas card.
I do love to read them all.

I finished the wedding card and box today.
So here it is.

This is the box.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.
  This is the card.





This is a 8x8 size card and box to fit.
I doubled up the A3 card again to stengthen
the box.
I rand out of Centura Pearl card for the box,
so it's plain card with ivory pearlised card I
found in my stash, for the die cuts.
The same goes for the card.
I embossed the pearlised card and then got to
work on the die cuts.
I added some lacy material in the center of the round die cut.
I have used this design before,but it was slightly
different.
I do hope you like it.

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

Now the inside.



This is an 8x8 card .
I made the backing paper with a snow flake,
and Happy Christmas stamp on copier paper.
Using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.
The digi image is from Pink Gems pre coloured.
I just added some stickles.
The doily is a Martha Stewart Deco Shell punch.
I added a homemade blue pin to my lacy ribbon.
The sentiment inside is a stamp too.
The snowflakes are a Marriane Die, and I 
added some holographic confetti to the centers. 

Thank you again for your visit.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
For those that are not here's hoping you will
soon be feeling better.
 Big crafty hugs on there way.
