GRANDSON'S 16th BIRTHDAY CARD AND POP UP BOX

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

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Mine was the same as it has been for the last 11 weeks and I suppose it may be the same for most of you too.

Today I have a Card and Pop up Box I made my Grandson's 16th Birthday in March before all the lockdown.

He supports Arsenal Football team so this is what I made him.

He is also a Goal Keeper with his team he plays for, and he also passed his exams to Referee Youngters Matches, which used to earn him a little money.

Card is 8"x8" in size.

Made the background paper with my 3D CD and printed it on photo paper.

Added a big 16 made with tmeplates and cut by hand.

In- corporated a pair of Goalie Gloves and a Football.

The pop up box I used more of the items left over from the card and addded his age and some stars.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SON'S BIRTHDAY CARD.

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

How are all of you managing with the new measures that we have been given.

I am really scared to venture out after all it's still out there and I am 71 years of age so have been self isolating for 10 weeks now and I am into my 11th this week.

Luckily I have always been okay with my own company.

Finding it very hard to get into crafting though as I think my mojo is in sleep mode.

I visited a friends blog recently and she had a lovely card on her blog which I asked if I could case for my Son's Birthday, as I was struggling what to put on his card this year. 

Brenda used stamps which I didn't have so improvised.

You can find her lovely card
HERE 
Please pop over and give her some lovely comments and follow if you are not already following her.

So onto my version of Brenda's card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I inked some watercolour card stock with a mixture of DIs
to give a look of a night sky
 hopefully it looks like it.
I add some flicks of glitter pen mixed with water to look like small stars.
Then also added some blobs for bigger stars.
 I used a round punch for the moon and coloured it with different  inks  and finally added some white pearlised ink round the edges and accross the moon to give it some atmosphere.
Sentiments computer generated.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.
I really appreciate every wonderful comment you make.

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

Anyone getting stir crazy yet ?

I have always been fine with my own company so I am okay just hope everyone is keeping safe at the moment.

Today I have a couple of stamped cards I made a few weeks ago when I treated myself to Sheena's stamps after seeing her demos on C&C.

I am not good designing stamped cards for some reason I seem to have mental block about it.

These are both A5 in size.

First one is a tent fold.

I stamped the bird house in Archival black ink and coloured it with distress inks and water.

The second one I decided to keep all one colour.

I did spritz these with Crafters Companion Sparkle Clear Pens, but it doesn't show up in the photos sadly.

Thank you for your visit, and precious time.

50th BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

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

I do so hope you are all keeping well, and haven't come in contact with this awful virus.

I know I have been missing a lot lately, but I won't bore you with my health troubles.

I am still crafting when I can as I find it helps me.

Today I have a card and box I recently made for my Niece.

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

My Niece loves Purple and Lilac colours so I used Hunkydory Garden Treasures paper pad for the background and some of their die cut flowers.

In fact all of the card used is Hunky dory card stock.

The pocket dies used are Tonic, the sentiment is Sue Wilson's die.

Number dies bought on Amazon.

I always cut my sentiment dies and number dies in old cereal boxes  first so I don't have to cut them out 4 or 5 times in thinner card.

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

I really appreciate every visit, and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
