Birthday card

This is a quick card I made for my Granddaughters birthday, she is eight today! In class on Monday we will be doing the Begonia from last week due to a late cancellation of last weeks class, see you all then xx

A birthday card, plus leftovers

Its my middle Granddaughters birthday today, here is the card I quickly made for her, I am not as good at colouring as most of you ladies that follow, but I did my best, I coloured the image which is a Mo Manning image......Penelope's party wagon...........with copics, I painted the number and covered it with dimensional magic and small pearls.  The vase of flowers below are leftover flowers from previous classes, long rolled stems added as I end up with too many cards.  I have tried numerous times to try and make the birthday card fit properly by resizing but it just won't have it, so forgive my poor editing skills too!!!

Love Jenni

Two Cards today

I must have been having a creative splurge, or maybe I am just missing my family, but I have made two cards over the last couple of days, the first is just to show that a lot of these flowers can be made flat i.e. without moulding, so that they can be posted in an envelope or added to a scrapbook page..........so here it is a flat bottlebrush flower I painted the stem.......lol as you can tell......with my copics, it is a bit fat for the flower, but couldn't be altered, I got carried away!! I placed it on silver glitter card and made it red for Xmas.

The second card is the one we will be doing on Monday night, it can be made in any colour, I just love that vibrant pink for some flowers.

Hina-Matsuri Day

www.blogger.com/profile/05430525020577576086It's Hina-Matsuri or Girls day in Japan on the 3rd March, one day before we arrive, so I made this card to send to my Granddaughter.  It is an origami emperess. I used Mizuiki cord for luck under the white opalescent card, then folded the emperess from washi paper.

Tilda for challenges

Here is a card I have made for the Magnolia stamp lovers challenge, it had to be buttons and Bows, or both.  I will also enter it in the Magnolia Down Under Challenge, I followed the sketch design and the image had to be "girly" with some organge.  I am still learning to colour!! lol, so please forgive any mistakes, most of this was done with Copics, but some tombows were used as well, the buttons aren't very clear but are tied on with orange glitter Mizhuiki cord which I love.

Tilda with lilacs and punched lilacs

Hi all this is a new stamp for me it was a bonus from Bec at: http://www.bizzybecscardmakingscrapbooking.com.au
She has been wonderfully helpful with my ordering so thought I would give her a quick plug on here!! Thanks Bec you have been tremendous......

I coloured the Tilda with prismacolour pencils and punched the Lilacs out and made them by hand.....another learning curve for me, had the pattern for ages and never tried it, will make the full version very soon as I really enjoyed it.

Papertake Weekly Challenge

Here is a card I have just made to enter in to the Paper Take Weekly Challenge, the theme this week is Pink...you can use other colours as well but pink has to be the dominant colour.  This is the first challenge I have entered and having seen some of the other entries, I haven't much chance of winning, but that doesn't matter it is all a learning curve for me and any kind of learning is a good thing eh?

Prismacolours with Papermania

I just finished this card, it was a trial as hubby bought me some prismacolour pencils for my birthday yesterday, so of course I had to try them as soon as possible, I really like how you can blend them just by colouring on the top of each colour, but I must get some of the mineral spirits you all talk about.  The stamp I used was from Papermania, because I was in a hurry I used flowers from the rapide range at floralpunchcraft.com they are just peel and stick and are the colours I wanted.

Whiff of Joy

Hi all, got a whiff of Joy stamp for xmas, here is the first card made from it, I used twinkling H2O's to colour it, I have had them for years and this is the first time I have used them!! I love the little tree stamp with the fairies playing on the swings so wanted it to look as tho this one was flying down to join them. On closer look maybe I should have stamped another tree on the left side, will see if I can do that now.........Jenni

My first Tilda

I have been sooo envious of all the beautiful magnolia stamped cards out there, with the cute Tilda's.  Here is my poor effort, I only have watercolour pencils at the moment, I did treat myself to one copic marker (LOL Last of the big spenders) I got myself a flesh coloured one, but really couldn't get on with it at all, I think you must need different cardstock to stamp on as I found that when I tried to use the blender pen my image was peeling away in places, maybe I was pressing too hard, dont' know, but anyway here she is, she is my first and I love her!!! The little flowers I made myself using the floret and corner flower punches.

Little Soldier

Here is a Christmas card I made recently for a friend.  I have used the little soldier digi stamp from Crafters Kitchen  http://crafterskitchen.blogspot.com/ that was designed by Jim Harker in memory of Jak's  tiny nephew that passed recently from Meningococcal meningitis, how could I not purchase one of these stamps when my eldest granddaughter had the same awful disease when she was six months old, we nearly lost her, I don't know how we would have coped without that darling little girl...........so my heart went out to her family, we could have so easily but for the Grace of God, been in that same situation.  The stamp is delightful and makes a very cheery Christmas card.  I  used Tombow pens to colour it, and added gold stickles to accent the braid.

Another quick card

A quick flat card for a friend's birthday, using fiskars border punches and cuttlebug embossed butterfly

Teddy birthday card

This is a card I made using a "three wise bears" stamp from Kaazaz stamps.  I love it, its soooo cute!! I had fun painting it too, only have water colour pencils at the moment but I am saving for copics!!

Rudolph Xmas card

Here is a flat Xmas card, I stamped the rudolph image, then went over the lines with the Sukara glitter glue, then sprinkled Martha Stewart fine glitter on the lines, same with the Xmas tree greeting which I framed by using a circle punch cut out

Another quick and easy Christmas card

This card took about four minutes to make, I love the new paper ribbons, got them from the FPC website, they are so easy to use, just trim and stick...........The candles look as though they are on a bit of a slope but they are okay in real life, its my editing skills that are questionable!!!.Jenni

Bumblebees for Xmas

Here is a Christmas card I made over the weekend, I used the bumblebee punch, I added gold ferns to make it festive

Boxes

Hi everyone, well for my lesson tonight we decided to concentrate on boxes to fit the cards we make, here is an example, plus if we have the time (I think we will as you are all so very clever) we will make a very quick and easy Christmas card using Rapide Range from the Floral punchcraft shop!! I love it and it takes soooo little time to make it will be a must for Christmas cards this year

The box is fine, the photo just awful LOL, please make allowances I have just had a huge week, visitors and a new grandchild                 

Love Jenni

A quick and easy flat card I made today for a friends birthday. As you can see I used the cuttlebug to add some definition and the nestabilities circles for the sentiment

Mizuhiki knot

This is a card I made for a friend who was sick.  I wanted to send her love and luck so tied a Mizuhiki knot which the Japanese use for luck, they are a little complicated to work out and each time I make one I have to look at the instructions again.  This is one of the more simple knots to tie, I haven't mastered the others yet........but I will given time!!! :-)

A birthday card

I finished this card yesterday, the saying is so true isn't it? Friends are the sunshine of life, I am blessed to have so many friends!! This card was made using the large and medium flower punch
