CHRISTMAS EMBOSSED CARD

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

I am at the moment very busy making tissue boxes to sell at the Macmillan coffee morning on Friday, and the rest of the week I will be baking for it as well.

A couple of weeks ago Mrs Duck launched her new website where you can buy some crafty stash at reasonable prices if anyone is interested there is a Link on my side bar that will take you there.

Of course as Ang is a good blog friend I had to purchase didn't I. 

I bought the John Next Door Rustic Frame embossing folder, and this is what I created with it.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I started by painting some white card with Starlight Paint Topaz to get my lovely bronze gold card.

Then I embossed it with John's embossing folder, and as it's a Nbus item I will be joining Darnell's Nbus Challenge.

Just matt and layered the different colour card.

Die cut my TL Poinsettia, leaves, and fir branches with the painted card.

The Christmas calendar is from the Pink Gem website.

Finished it off with a bow and some snowflakes cut from the painted card.

I am really pleased with how this turned out.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE GD SEPTEMBER 2017

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

Well I have had and eventful couple of weeks here at Lawrence towers.

Our Internet connection was playing up, and eventually after lots of consultations we were sent a new router.

So while all this was going on I decided to tidy my craft room and reorganise my dies and other crafty stash.

Phew I am exhausted as it took me ages, and too much energy, plus having to stop, rest my back so I wouldn't have my usual back probs.

Well enough of my troubles.

It's that time again for the Rudolf Days Challenge over at 

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

The challenge runs from the 25th to the end of the month, and as always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.

Maureen has a wonderful prize on offer for the winner as always.

So here is my GD card.

  

This is a 6"x6" size card.

I used lots of Snippets on this one. 

The gold frame is cut from snippets, the craft card I used for the sand is snippets, the sky is snippets, the camels, and wise men were cut from a snippet of black, and  the the holly was cut from snippets. 

Then I finally stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on some snippet.
The circle wreath die I used for the scene is a Nbus one so I will be joining Darnell's Nbus challenge with this.

Thank you so much for your visit, and I do hope you can join this great challenge.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

YET ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SCENE CARD.

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

Really plodding along with those Christmas scene cards, and I have just one left to make for my large Christmas order.

The one I have left to make is for her husband.

So onto yet another Christmas scene card made from the die cuts I bought on ebay.

This is a 5"x7"  size tent card.

This card was extremely difficult to get a nice photo of. 

Just kept coming out really dark.

The side view looks a little lighter.

I cut a snippet of grey card to the size I wanted, and then I sprayed it with spray glue, and put Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Snow glitter all over it to back my scene on.

The ribbon is a TL one and is a grey with silver glitter running through it.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MUM AND DAD POINSETTIA CHRISTMAS CARD

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

I do hope you are not getting fed up with my Christmas cards I am showing.

I am trundling through the Christmas cards I was asked to make for my Daughter's boss, and this is another one I have made for her Mum and Dad, and it also fits the bill for the current Allsorts Challenge.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used 2 designer papers from the Dovecraft 12x12 Winter Blooms paper pad.

The doilies are from a cheap Chinese die.

The poinsettias are a TL die and I added some glamour dust to them.

Now I don't have a large tag die so I cut this one out by hand.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

It's very miserable in my part of Kent today all grey, and raining, and cold as well.

Won't be long till the leaves start falling of the trees.

My, summer came, and went in a flash or that's what it seems like or is it because we had a lovely June, and not such a nice July, and August.

Gosh I have managed to make a card for the Butterfly Challenge  as I think I may have missed a couple of the challenges.

 This is a anniversary card I made for my youngest Son and his wife.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The heart paper came from a paper pad I bought at B&M for the grand price of £2.49.

The white card I embossed with the Sue Wilson's Heart Lattice embossing folder.

Added some ribbon and string bling.

The doily die, and the bow, and hearts die are cheap Chinese ones.

Silhouette butterfly dies are SB.

 Stamped the sentiment with Faded Jeans DI.

CHRISTMAS CARD IN SEPTEMBER

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

I have had a rather large order for Christmas cards from my Daughter's boss who loves my cards, and always asks me to make special ones for her.

She bought quite few of the ones I left in the office after the fete had no idea who they were for, but loved them so much she just had to buy them.

So this week I have made a start on them, and this one.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The winter village scene is one of quite a few different die cuts I bought from ebay.

Just put a snippet of card behind the houses, and then added stickles to the windows, and glitter to the trees, and the ground, and then framed it with another snippet  from a die cut.

The paper is from the MCS Wonderful in White CD.

Thank you so much for your visit, and your precious time as time is precious to all of us.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ANOTHER MALE BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Looked after the Grand Children yesterday, and my Granddaughter goes back to school tomorrow, and her brother on Thursday.

We baked cakes as usual as they are keen little bakers, and must take after me.

Today I have a card I made for my stepdaughter's husband who loves his garden.

I don't know about you, but over the years I struggle to think of what to put on their cards every year for a change.

So this year it's a gardening theme.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The image is from the Hunkydory little book of decoupage.

The main papers are Graphic 45.

The Happy Birthday paper is a download from Cuddly Buddly Crafts, and is a snippet left over from another card, and some of the kraft card is snippets also, so I will be joining my playmates with this.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

MONOCHROME WEDDING CARD AND BOX

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

I do hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

My neighbour asked me to make a wedding card for her recently, and as she didn't know the colour scheme of the wedding this is what I made.

I went back to an old design I created  a few years ago as it was a bit rushed, and I wasn't given much time to think up a new design.

Every design of this is always slightly different in any rate.

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

Now this didn't photograph well as the colour looks beige looking.

It was supposed to be white pearlised card from Crafters Companion, but it was more Ivory so how they can call it white I don't know. 

I used the Sue Wilson Heart Lattice embossing folder.

The middle die with the sentiment is a cheap Chinese one.

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

I really appreciate all you wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CHRISTMAS CARD YET AGAIN

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

A little info about the cards I made for my Daughter's works they have nearly all been sold, and when the last one is sold they will have made nearly £100 so that was a big success, and I am so chuffed that people like them so much.

A few years ago I was struggling with my mojo as far as Christmas cards were concerned I just couldn't think of designs.

Currently I seem to be on a roll as far as designing my Christmas cards and ideas are flowing fast and furiously thank goodness.

So sorry this is yet another Christmas card made yesterday for the Allsorts Challenge.

Now apologies if this tree design is any ones, as I thought of it, and am not sure if it just came to me or I have seen it somewhere before. 

The challenge is to use ribbon in a different way so here is my interpretation of the challenge.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The holly paper is a download from the C&C club .

The ribbon with the holly is a TL one.

The holly corners are TL die.

Pierced the edges of the white card with TH ruler.

Sentiment from the Internet.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CHRISTMAS CARD IN AUGUST

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

I can't believe how time flies so quickly lately.

I have been missing again as I had a few things to do, and I had to make a rush wedding card and box for a neighbour.

Don't forget it's Rudolf Days Challenge starts tomorrow.

So I am just about going to make the Allsorts Challenge with this card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The image is a TL die now I don't own this die I just bought some die cuts from EBay as I wanted this die, but couldn't afford it at the time.

I coloured it in with Pro- markers, and white gel pen, and then put some glitter on it.

Made a mistake putting the pearl on the rabbits tail I think.

My colouring isn't too brill these days because of my eyes. 

The paper is from the MCS Wonderful in White CD.

Sentiment from the Internet.

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

I really do appreciate every visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Really proud of my Granddaughter Jess Bonfield as she got so many A/s in her A Levels, and is going to Southampton  University, and was offered a place in Oxford too, but prefers Southampton.
Considering she had a very bad throat infetction while taking these exams she did so well I think.

BOX FOR THE 60th BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Sorry I didn't get around to commenting on everyone yesterday, but the old RLS kicked in while I was doing it, and that aggravates my knees and hips too, so I had to stop, and walk around to try and stop it.

Not a great deal of success either especially if I'm overtired.

Still that's enough of my complaining I am sure there are more people with more troubling health probs than me.

I am going to try and catch up today though.

As stated in my earlier post I had to make a box for the 60th Birthday card so here it is.

This is the box I make for an 8"x8" size card.

Luckily I had the same Graphic 45 papers in a 12x12 pad to use for the box.

Computer generated sentiment.

I made the pattern inside the circle with a 1" circle punch chopped in half.

I rather like how this looks, and will use it again sometime stuck a button and some twine where it didn't quite fit.

Thank you so much for your visit and the wonderful comments you make, they are really appreciated.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BABY GIRL CARD

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

I have so many cards to post after making so many cards for my Daughter's works so the last lot I didn't bother to photograph.

I may regret that decision one day when I am stuck for a idea or Mr Mojo decides to go walk about.

 This is one of the cards I made for the fete, and left for them to sell in the reception.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The papers are from the Joanna Sheen's Baby Love CD which is no longer available.

I inked the edges with Worn Lipstick DOI.

The pram is a TL die.

The baby items are a cheap China die from E Bay.

If anyone is considering buying these dies they cut perfectly, and are brilliant value for money, you just have to wait 2 or 3 weeks for delivery.

The outside of the doily is a Chinese die, and the plain matt is a stitched Gummiapan die I bought with my winnings at Allsorts Challenge, and are from Swedish House Crafts.

Thank you so much for your visit and your precious time as I know time is precious to all of us.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
