RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE...............APRIL 2020

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

Sorry I have not been about again lately finding very hard to get everything done in a day with no help from outside.

I have also been a bit down as I was not well, and the old mind kept thinking I had the virus.

I face time my family daily on my phone to keep my spirits up.

I do hope everyone is keeping well.

Running late with my entry into the Rudolf Days Challenge over at

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

It's not my month for my DT so I can enter a card, it's a quick make as I can't seem to concentrate at the moment. 

This is a 5"x7" size card.

I used a Crafters Companion 3D embossing folder and then used some very old rub ons to highlight the design.

Will be back tomorrow as it's the begining of the month and time for a new challenge over at 

Moving Along With The Times.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT.............CHALLENGE 117 DIAMANTE

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

As it's the 1st of the Month it's time for another challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The lovely Ang is your host for this challenge and she would like to see Diamante on your creations so here is what I made for my DT.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

This is a Hunkydory image from one of their pads you just add the Diamantes to it.

Love the sentiment.

The deep pink glitter card stock was a snippet left over from something else I made and I thought it went really well with the Diamantes.

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

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

I really appreciate each visit.

ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

I thought it was very wonderful and worth putting on my blog.

Today I have an Anniversary card I made for my Son and Daughter in Law who celebrated their 20th Anniversary recently.

This is an easel card I made for them.

Card stock and image both Hunkydory again.

Renforced the base with extra card stock so it wasn't floppy.

This fits into and 8"x8" size envelope.

Used Sue Wilson's Hexagon Stiched Die to cut the shape.

Doily is Tattered Lace.

Ticket Die is also Tattered Lace.

The Heart Die is Crafters Companion.

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

I really appreciate every visit, and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

A COUPLE OF STAMPED CARDS

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.

I love your visits, and wonderful comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

The challenge runs to the end of the month.
As always anything goes as long as it's Christmas .

Maureen always has a lovely prize on offer, and you get your Christmas cards made throughout the year. 

For my DT this month I made 2 cards back in January ready for this month.

  

 

These are 6"x6" size cards.

Decided to go Shabby Chic with my designs this time around. 

I suppose with all the layers they could be called Mixed Media too.

I used lots of white texture paste on them both and on the 2nd one I also added Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter to the top.

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

Sending lots of love to those of you who may not be well with this or anything else.

Today I have a pop up box I made for my Niece to go with her Birthday card.

I used Hunkydory card stock again, and lots of snippets of card left over from the Birthday card I made in my previous post.

  The 50 dies, and the pansies were also snippets left over too.

I also used snippets to line the flaps of the pop up box.

This all folds flat nicely into an A4 envelope.

Will join my playmates over at the Pixies Snippets Playground with this.

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.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE .....JANUARY 2020

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

I do hope everyone is keeping well, and also keeping warm and cosy this winters time.

Today I have a Christmas card to join in the 

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE 

over at scrappymo's blog.

The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month.

As I was not designing this month I thought I would join the challenge which I am allowed to.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

A couple of years ago I joined in Loll's 12 days of Christmas Tag Challenge, and made quite  few tags so I thought I would make use of them and make them into cards.

I made one last year and this is my second one.

The choir boys are a Hunkydory image.

The poinsettias were made with a Robert Adams Die which I won years ago on the Pixies Snippets Challenge.

The Glittered Happy Christmas wooden sentiment was from the Works last year.

As I used lots of snippets on this I will also be joining the Pixies Snippets Challenge.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

It's so much appreciated.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I would like to enter the following challenges with this.
