SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CARD AND BOX

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

Sorry I am back with another post today as I want to join in the Allsorts Challenge for this week, and tomorrow will be my post for the MAWTT DT.

 Oh my what a busy week this week.

So here is a Silver Wedding Anniversary card and box I made for my daughter, and her fiance's friends.

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

I cut out my doily and then used spray glue, and glittered it, but unfortunately the glue shows up slightly pink in the photo, but not on the actual card.

I cut out a silver linen backing in the same design for the matting.

Threaded some silver ribbon through the doily and added some lace daisies, and a lovely metal patterned heart that was given to me by one of my sister's jewellery making friends.

I then added some lace butterflies to the corners.

These can be bought at Cuddly Buddly Crafts.

The corners and the hearts around the box were cut on my ScanNcut.

Thank you for your visit, and time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

SNIPPETS CARD MADE WITH MY WINNINGS

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

May I say a big warm welcome to my newest follower, and thank you for choosing to press the button and follow me.

I hope to see you back as often as you can spare the time.

Well when I posted my last card I had 3 challenges in mind, but decided to make a different card for the 3rd challenge instead, as I won on the Pixies Snippet's Playground Challenge the other week and wanted to use my lovely embossing folder I won.

This is a 6.50" x6.50"size card.

I used some snippets of white card, and black card for the embossed layer.

I then embossed the middle section with more snippets again, and decoupaged it with some lace either side.

The black lace is the white coloured with a permanent marker.

The flower, and the leaves are also cut out of snippets, and I added Cosmic Shimmer Midnight Snow to the centre of the flower.

Finally I stamped one of the lovely sentiments that came with embossing folder, and cut it out with a circle die.

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

I really do appreciate your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

LAVENDER BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Well last week went super fast as usual.

Is it time speeding up, or is it me slowing down so much. 

I think it's me slowing down .

Today I have a card made with 3 challenges in mind.

This is a 8"x7" size card.

The background papers were a download from Cuddly Buddly Crafts, and I thought they were lavender plants,but on a closer inspection I think they maybe bluebells.

The birds and the small postcards were a free download from C&C.

I distressed all the papers and Lavender card with scissors, and added Tea Die DI to the papers.

On the flowers I used some snippets of white card inked with Milled Lavender DI, but it doesn't show much on the photo.

I used stickles on the flowers and leaves, but that doesn't show much either.

Thank you for your visit, and your precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

GET WELL CARD

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

It's been so very hot in my part of Kent for quite a few days, while other parts of the country have had rain.

Now as you know I get very tired when it's very hot.

I think it maybe something to do with my meds I take so if I haven't visited you lately I am very sorry.

Today I have a card using a new Nbus

stamp I bought recently.

I have been wanting a jar stamp for quite a while so when I saw this I had to have it.

This card is a 7"x5" tent style I made.

The stamp is a Hunkydory one.

I stamped it with Memento London Fog Ink,

Coloured it with Pro-Markers, and then I added some acetate stamped with Stazon Black Ink.

I decoupaged the lid.

The Kraft card is snippets left over from my Butterfly Challenge card which I will show you tomorrow.

 So I will be joining my friends over at the Snippets Playground again this week Yay.

As I have used a Nbus item I will be also joining Darnell on her No 7 NBUS CHALLENGE.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE AUGUST 2016

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

Today is the start of the Rudolf Challenge, and as DT member I don't have to post a DT card for this month.

I also can't join in the challenge for the next 5 months.

So I have made 2 cards just to remind you of the Rudolf Challenge.

It starts on the 25th of the month till the end of the month, over at

 SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG

and it's a great way to get some of your Christmas cards made earlier than you sometimes do. 
So here are 2 cards I made.

These are 8"x8" size cards.
The images come from a Hunkydory Christmas set I bought lately as I loved the images.
They are both decoupaged.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make about my work.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

FLORAL CARD

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

Well haven't we had some really hot days, and nights these last few days.

I do hope you are all coping okay with it.

I am very lucky as I have a ceiling fan in my craft room, but it's still very hot.

I looked after my grandchildren on Monday, and caught the sun while sitting in the park while my granddaughter played on the equipment.

Silly me there was a lovely breeze, and I forgot that it can cause you to burn more easily.

I have freckled skin which is prone to burning easily, and at my age I should have known better.

Today I have a card I made yesterday for the Allsorts Challenge.

I am back to my fave size of card a 8"x8". 

The paper was a free download from the C&C club website, and isn't it very pretty so I just had to use it.

I decoupaged the Hydrangea in the middle, and added some stickles to the center of the flowers, as I didn't want to cover up that lovely paper.

The sentiment is a Creative Expression stamp.

Thank you for your visit, and time.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
May I say a big thank you to my newest follower, and thank you so much for joining me on my crafting journey.

I do hope you are all enjoying your weekend, as the weather has not been too good.

I have been playing with my ink dusters again, and I hope this card looks okay.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used a snippet of card to do my ink dusting, and stamping on with Memento Inks.

Some of the black card used was also snippets so I will of to join my playground friends again this week.
I was one of the featured cards in the playground last week with my little book so I am really a happy bunny today.

I used the Delicate Vines Inkilicious Stamp for the background.
Sorry about the inside photo, but for some reason when I photograph the inside of some cards I get a yellow colour near the fold especially on white card.

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

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

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

Well it's Friday again so soon, and time to join ERIKA HERE 

with an Older Creation.

This is all just for fun, but a great way to show some of your older work.

We all have days off from bolgging so to post an Oldie, can perhaps let someone see somthing they may have missed the first time round.

You don't have to have posted it before it just needs to be something you have made in the past.

So go on and join us we would love to see more of you join us.

Here is mine for this week some boxes I made out of the left over card when I make my boxes for an8"x8" card.

These measure 4"x4" in size.

The left one I used some Mandala Peel offs to create.

The right one is Die Cuts.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make I very much appreciate your feed back on my work.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT CARD..............CLEAN AND SIMPLE

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

It's time for my Design Team card for 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES CHALLENGE.

It's the B Teams turn, and the lovely Sue B is our host for this forthnights challenge, and she would like your entries to be Clean and Simple.

We don't have any prizes to offer, but we love to see your wonderful creations, and you could be chosen as one of the top 3.

Now I have to say I did struggle with this one as those of you that know me, know I have to sit on my hands to do a clean and simple card, and I couldn't think of a design to do.

You think putting less on a card would be easy, but not for me.

This is just under 6" in height, and just under 4" in width.

I must say I am not pleased with how this came out.

I bought some Brilliance White Ink to use on it, and it soaked into the card for some reason so I drew around the stamped image with a white gel pen.

Before I go when I was at my daighter's fund raising event there were people there showing owls.

Now as I love owls, and have them dotted all over my house in china form, and pictures of them.

 I just had to go and see them.

Here is a photo of me holding a Barn Owl.

It didn't come out too good as we were surronded by trees, and the photo was taken with a phone.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

PASTEL INKED BUTTERFLY CARD

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

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment.

I do hope everyone is feeling well, and for those that may be feeling under the weather, I am sending big hugs to help make you feel a little better.

Today I have a card I made as a thank you for a blog friend, and realized I hadn't shown it yet.

So this will fit the bill over at the Allsorts Challenge I think.

This is a 6"x 6" size card.

I heat embossed the butterfly stamp all over the card with white embossing powder, and then used colour cloud Rose Blush, and Fresh Grass inks to give the pink and green.

I didn't have a yellow ink but I had a Pan Pastel Chalk which I didn't realize would cover the white embossed image so that's a lesson I have learn't.

The big butterfly is a very old big wooden stamp, and coloured in with my Chameleon Pens.

I added some wire and beads for the antenna.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

3x3 MINI BOOK MADE WITH SOME SNIPPETS

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

A few of you asked how we did last week at the fund raising event.

It was over 2 days last weekend and they took over £1,000 in all, and my stall took £73 over the 2 days.

This is going towards gym equipment for the clients that live at my daughter's place of work.

They all have learning problems, and health issues so it was for a very good cause.

Today I have a 3x3 inch mini book I made because I have been wanting to try this for a long time.

The book actually measures 3 and a quarter inches for the cover, and 3 inches for the pages.

I used a 12x12 size paper for the pages.

For the front and back cover I used a few snippets of paper, some snippets of lace, I also used snippets of card for the tags that go in the pockets.

So I i'll be off to join my playgrounds friends again this week at the snippets playground.

Anyone interested in making one of these can find the U Tube video
 Part 1HERE
Part 2 HERE

Thank you for your visit and time I very much appreciate every visit, and comment.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE NO 60...............V IS FOR VASE AND OR VANILLA..... AND SNIPPETS MAKE

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

Sorry I have been missing for a while, but the fund raising event at my daughter's place of work was at the weekend, and since then I have been trying to catch up on my house work that I neglected, to get as much made as possible.

I also had a funeral to attend, for our keyboard player of our little singing group which is sadly no more.

I do miss it so much. 

So today I have a card made for the current Butterfly Challenge.

This is a A5 size card.

The card is some snippets of card which came with some crafting affects that belonged to my Aunt when she passed away a few years ago.

I found the free digi image of the vase on the Internet.

Coloured it in with Pro-markers. 

Then I added a Butterfly Bouquet from a Tattered Lace Die.

Inked it with Colour Cloud Rose Blush, and sprayed it with aerosol glue and glamour dusted it.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
