25th ANNIVERSARY ALBUM AND BOX

 

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

 

My youngest Son and his wife celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary in September, and this is what I made them.

 

 

 

 

This Album is 7"x7" in size and a box I made to fit it.

I made lot of mistakes on this Album, so hence the ribbon spine and the lace die cuts at the back of the Album.

I used lots of different dies on the making of this they include Tattered Lace, Tonic, Sue Wilson,

and an old flower die which I can't remember the make of.

I just wish I hadn't penned the doodling around the picture mounts.

A lesson learnt for next time.

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

As it's the 1st of the Month and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

Your host for this challenge is Tinz and she would like to see you Create A Scene on your entries.

Here is my DT card I created.

This is a 7"x7" size card.

I saw Sheila Halliwell from Hunkydory make a scene with Hunkydory card stock on C&C so this gave me the idea for my card.

Sheila's was a seaside scene.

I punched a circle out of yellow card and cut it in half for my sun.

The Birds on the tree are Carnation Crafts dies and also the foilage are Carnation Crafts too.

The deer is a Tattered Lace die.

Finally I used some texture paste to create some subtle clouds.

MALE BIRTHDAY CARD

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

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and you are all keeping well.

Today I have a Male Birthday Card for you.

I made this for my my stepdaughter's husband who has his own building business.

This is a 8"x8" size card I made from 2 A4 sheets of craft card as I had some craft envelopes to use up..

The work tools images are Hunkydory from one of their books of images.

They are made from quite thin paper so I glued then to card and edged them with a brown promarker.

All in all a quick card to make only one die cut involved the Happy Birthday.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

60th BIRTHDAY CARD, BOX, AND TISSUE BOX

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

How are you coping with the heat. 

  I am not very good withthe hot weather it drains me of energy.

Luckily it's a lot cooler today at last.

So I thought I would post a card I made recently for one of my Daughter's bosses.

  

The card is an 8"x8" size, and a box I made to fit it.

I also made a Tissue box for her and was asked to put Daffodils on both as the lady in question was born in Wales like myself.

She was very pleased with everything.

The paper used is  Hunkydory Garden Treasures luckily I bought 2 of that collection.

The die used around the aperture is a Tattered Lace one, the Happy Birthday die is a Paper Boutique one.

The Daffs, Butterflies and Foilage are Cranation Crafts dies.

Numbers dies are cheap from Amazon.

The little cards inside were made with a small daffs die that I was lent, I believe it was a Joanna Sheen die that came with one her magazines a few years ago, and I coloured them with promarkers.

Then I punched out 2" circles with snippets of paper left over from the tissue box, and cut them in half to make a bowl for the Daffs to sit in.

Sorry I forgot to photograph that.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

Hope everyone out there is keeping well and not affected by this awful virus.

On Wednesday last week it was my sister's 57th Anniversay and she lives in Wales so I had to make a card that was quite flat for postage.
Every Year she puts up every card I have made her over the years I have been making cards.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used Paper Boutique paper pad Flutterbies,and Butterflies.

This was a freebie from C&C club a few years back.

I made the heart aperture flat for posting.

Used a Tattered Lace Die to cut the paerture and  for around the aperture.
The leaves and the bow were Snippets left over from another card I made.
Not sure if this is a little busy with the two different papers used.

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

MALE RETIREMENT CARD AND BOX

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

I do hope everyone had a nice weekend.

I was asked to make a retirement card for a colleague at my Daughter's works recently.

It was a request that needed to be made quickly so good old Hunkydory images to the rescue.

The person in question has worked for my Daughter's company for 38 years and what dedication to work there for so long, and help lots of clients that have learning difficulties.

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

The Hunkydory card stock and images were a Hunkydory free gift from their site back last year I think, you just pay £2.99 for the postage. 

I included ten 5"x5" cards in the pockets for everyone to sign and give their own greetings.

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.

 

 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES CHALLENGE 120........AT THE BEACH

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

It's the first of the month and time for another challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The challenge theme this month is At The Beach.

You have to the end of the month to enter the challenge, I do hope you can.

I must admit I found this one a little hard till I remembered some stamps I had from Creative Stamping Magazine a few years ago so I created a beach scene.

  

This is a 7"x7" size card.

I started by water colouring my

my sky, sea, and sand with a selection of Izink Inks on water colour card.

I then used some pearlised white ink to create the waves, and also sone white gel pen too.

I then stamped my sandcastle, birds, and sentiment on my trusted Misti to the scene.

Then I paper pieced  the beach hut, bucket and spade, deck chair, and parasol to the scene which I coloured in with Promarkers.

The inside was stamped by hand with shells which are an Inkylicious

stamp.

I was quite pleased with the result.

Please pop over to the challenge blog to see the lovely creations made by my team friends.

As it's been so darn hot I am giving housework the heave ho for now and doing more posting for a change.

It is cooler today but it's still so hot in the house after the last few days and it plays my Arthritis up so much.

Today I have an Anniversary card I made for my stepson and his wife back in April.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The papers are Stamperia 

and the heart dies are Tattered Lace.

Flowers and Leaves are Carnation Crafts Dies.

Pearly centres of flowers from HobbyHouse.

 

I could not put Happy Anniversay on this as my DIL had just lost her Mother hence no verse either.

This month is not my DT turn so I can enter the challenge.
