8"X8" MALE CARD AND BOX

 

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

As stated before I am trying to blog more.

I have quite a few cards made and not been shown yet.

Today I hve a card I was asked to make for a lady who lives near me for her Son that lives in Hull.

 Her Son follows Hull Rugby League and so after looking them up on the internet I decided on this design.

Their rugby shirts have horizontal stripes on them so I made a background on the card to go with it.

As staated this is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit it.

I went with black and white as those are their rugby club colours.

I must admit getting those black stipes straight and the distance between was difficult but worth it.

 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. 

 

 

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE ENTRY FOR LAST CHALLENGE ....jANUARY 2024

 

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

Sadly beacause of health reasons Maureen will not be running the Rudolf Challenge any more unless someone else takes it on.

I do hope someone does as it made me make my Christmas creations all throughout the year.

So if you would like to enter the last challenge to say goodbye to her that would be nice.

SCARPPYMO'S BLOG 

She retired her design team in December last year of which I was a member since she started I think, I will be sad not to be involved anymore.

So may I take this opertunity to thank Maureen for all her hard work involved in running the challenge.

I would also like to thank fellow design team members past and present for being such good friends and all their hard work involved too.

So here is my last entry into her January Challenge.

 

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

The paper was a download sorry I can't remember from where.

I used my items I bought from Amazon as the images just added bling to the Christmas Tree on the card.

All other items used from my stash.

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.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

8"x8" CRISTENING CARD AND BOX

 

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

I do hope all are keeping well, and were not affected too much by the high winds over the weekend.

The reason I have not been blogging much lately is I have been updating and buying more storage for my craft room and this has taken me such a long time to do I still have some more items I want to buy but have to do it gradually as you all may know.

A couple of months ago I was asked to make a Christening card and box,

So this is what I came up with.

 

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

I used a very old Tonic Die to create the card.

I decided to make a scroll to put the childs name and date of her Christening on.

The ribbon roses are very old from my stash.

Pink and silver rainbow card stock used are Hunkydory.

The white glitter card stock is Italian and from Amazon and die cuts wonderfully.

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment especailly as I have been a very bad blogger lately.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

The shoe die is a Chloes one and comes with a stamp also, but I didn't use the stamp.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.... CHALLENGE 161.............WINTER ANIMALS

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

Sorry I havn't visited your bloggs, clearing up after my new windows and doors has been quite a challenge.

Also it was my theme on the MAWTT Challenge last month and my DT for the Rudolf too.

So with all the commenting, and also I have been asked to make cards for quite a few people and you know I can't say no to anyone, I just haven't had time to visit you.

I was also quite up on my own Christmas cards and had to give them to a friend who needed them so I am rushing through making more.

So I feel I have been pulled all ways like one of those rubber toys you pull and make larger.

Well that said it's the first of the month and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

The lovely Tinz is your host for this months challenge and she would like to see 

WINTER ANIMALS

on your creations please.

The challenge runs from today till the 30th of December 2023.

Now I struggled with this theme as to what is a winter Animal, finally I thought I would just go with an Animal in a winters setting.

So here is what I came up with.

 

 

The first card is a 7"x7" size.

The second card is a A5 size.

My friend  gave me these kits of Pollyanna Pickering images that I used for my cards.

These kitts had inserts which I used on the inside of the 7" one and the A5 one was used from the inserts completely except for the sentiment.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make especially as I haven't visited you.

The first one I used some wooden gnomes I bought from Amazon these were also for a Christmas tree but I cut of the string and used some small snowballs to cover the holes.

The paper was a Carnation Crafts download.

Glitter card from Tonic, I used the waste of a sentiment I cut out and put a snippet of glitter card behind it for my sentiment.

The second card I used some Gingerbread items bought from Amazon, I think they are for use on a Christmas tree as they have holes in the top and some string that came with them.

Snowflakes cut off a roll of them from Amazon again and I added some bling to the centres.
