MALE DESIGN BIRTHDAY CARDS

 

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

My this month is galloping on so fast again.

I can't believe it's the middle of the month already.

Last week my Daughter was on annual leave yet again as last year she couldn't have much holidays as her boss was being sheilded so she had to work.

We had a lovely week together shopping and just spending time together. 

 

Today as this weekend is Father's Day I have a couple of male Birthday cards I made for my stepson and my brother in law.

 

These are both 8"x8" size cards.

The first one is Hunkydory card stock and images.

The second one is also Hunkydory

card stock and the images are from a Hunkydory Book  and glued onto card for stability, and then I used cardboard instaed of foam to give them lift.

They both have the same theme of Beer as that is most mens fave tiple.

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 DT.........SPRING IS COMING

 

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

I am back again today as it's the first of the month and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The theme this month is 

SPRING IS COMING,

 chosen by our lovely Christine, as it's March.

Now luckily I didn't have to make a card especially for this theme as I had made one for my Stepdaughter who had a severe stroke just after New Years, and I wanted to make a card that cheered her up.

She is home now and having physio, but was only 57 which I think is quite young.

Thankfully her Dad was not here to worry about her.

She also caught covid while in the hospital which I was not happy about.

So here is the Spring themed card I made her.

 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The card stock is from Hunkydory Garden Treasures.

In the kit you had some plant pot cards you could make.

I decided to put one on the front of the card with lots of Spring Flowers in it.

Please pop along to the challenge blog to see the wonderful creations made by my Team Friends and enter if you can.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE JANUARY 2021

 

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

 

Sorry I have not been about much this month I am suffering with my Arthritis quite badly everywhere in my body at the mo.

So with this new lockdown I have no help with my work, and it takes me ages to get it all done, and then I am too exhausted to blog.

I have however made quite a few cards as I had orderes and family ones to do, and January is a busy month for family Birthdays. 

I can never say no to anyone that asks me to make cards are you the same.

Well that's enough of my woes I am sure there are lots more people with more severe health issues than me so I shouldn't grumble.

 

So I quickly made a card for the 

Rudolf Days Challenge over at

SCARPPYMOS BLOG 

 as I don't like to miss it, and it's not my month for DT so I can enter. 

 

This is a 7"x5" size card.

The stamp is a Wooeware one that was one of  lovely presents from Maureen for being on her DT.

I origanlly stamped it on the front of the card, but I didn't like it like that so I stamped it again and cut it out and raised it on card board

this is a cheaper way than using foam tape.

Will be back tomorrow with my DT for Moving Along With The Times as it's the first of the month.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate your visit especially as I am such a bad blogger at the mo.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES CHALLENGE 126.......DT....NEW BEGININGS

 

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

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
TO YOU ALL.

Lest hope this year is a going to be a better one and we can get back to some normality soon.

 

As it's the first of the month it's time for another challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The challenge theme this month chosen by our lovely Carole is 

NEW BEGININGS

So New Baby, Weddings, New Home and that sort of thing.

The challenge runs to the 30th of January 2021.

So I made a Baby card for my DT

actually I made this a while ago but have never shown it.

 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used up lots of snippets of paper left over from other Baby cards I have made hence the half and half style papers.

The photo of the inside I couldn't get the colour right as the colour is more like the front of the card.

The doily was a Tattered Lace Die, and the Baby items was a cheap Chinese die.

Please try and visit the challenge blog to see the lovely creations made by my team friends.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER'S SLIDE UP CARD

 

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

 

I do hope everyone is keeping safe and well in these uncertain times.

Yay I will see my Daughter for the first time in 2 weeks as she had a case of Covid where she works and didn't want to come round just in case.

Thankfully all her tests came back negative but she still didn't want to chance it.

She still had to work though as she is a Manager in a home for Adults with learning difficulties.

Hence she was being tested weekly and she has to wear all the gear needed to be safe.

 

Earlier this year I was tempted as you do to buy this die from Tonic as I thought it would make a great card for my Great Granddaughter Ellie.

 

This  is how it opens up

 

 

 

 

Then finally like this.

Sorry about the first photo I just couldn't get the colour right the colours are more like the second and third photos.

Ellie was going through a faze of loving Sloths.

So I bought this card stock from C&C in their summer sale and it was designed by Carly Duff.

The photo in the second slide up part was the only recent photo I could find, and it was from a day out when it was very windy.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

The first one is another Napkin image from Anna Marie.

Anna Marie paper sprayed with gold mica spray.

Poinsettias and foilage are Tattered Lace Dies.

The second card is a Hunkydory Image.

I found the Carol music on the web and the paper I used was copied from the back of a package of some food which I cannot remember what, but isn't it so pretty I could not throw it away.

For my floral bouquet I rolled up some snippets of red card to make 3 cylinders and tied them together with a ribbon then added ivy leaves, berries, and some small flowers.

Finished it all off with snow paste around the deges and glitter to the image.
