A Christmas Delivery Card.

Good  evening Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Well here we are again, no sooner has Monday gone, than it is back again lol!   Hope you have all had a good start to the week.   Today has been quite a nice day here,  it began a little chilly, then the sun appeared, turning out a lovely day.   

Tonight I would like to show you card no. 9 which I made for my friend Jane's MacMillan Nurses coffee morning.   This design of this card  is very like a card I made for one of Imagination Craft's shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel. earlier this year and uses their fabulous Santa and Christmas script Art stamps.

   
(1)   Mask off 1" of the white base card with masking tape, around all four edges.

(2)   Colour the unmasked area with the tumbled glass, shaded lilac, dusty concord & broken china distress
         inks, using a piece of cut'n'dry foam or a blending tool.

(3)   Stamp the Christmas script, using the broken china distress ink across the left edge of the now coloured
        card.  

    
(4)   Sprinkle some silver embossing powder over parts of the script whilst the ink is still wet and heat
        emboss.    Remove the masking tape from around the card edges.

(5)   Using a black ink pad, stamp Santa onto the blue/lilac square, leaving some parts of the stamp, just
        outside the square.

(6)   Dab some Versamark around the  all four outer edges of the base card with your finger and heat    
        emboss with silver embossing powder.  

   
(7)   Stamp 'Merry Christmas' using a black ink pad in the top left corner.

(8)   Glue a clear star gem to the top right corner.

    
(9)   Die-cut a poinsettia and stamen, using the Marianne Design die and colour with the Sax blue, Lilac
        mist and Mediterranean sky Starlight paints.   When dry, dab a little Diamond Sparkle Medium onto
        each petal and on the tips of the stamen.

   
(10)  3D the poinsettia using silicone glue and glue to the bottom left of the image.   Glue the stamen to the centre of the flower, then glue a small black gem to the flower centre.

                                                                  Love & Rainbows,   

                                                                   Hugs   Jennifer xx.

Joy to the World Christmas Card.

Hello Everyone,

Hope your weekend has got off to a good start and you are looking forward to a relaxing Sunday.   These weekends seem to go by so quickly.   Here is my no. 8  card for my friend Jane's MacMillan Nurses coffee morning.   The stamp set I have used is a Joanna Sheen set.   I delved down into my stamp container to find it.   I really like this stamp set, as it is so different.   It is called   'Three Kings.'     I have coloured it with watered down Starlight paints.     Apologies for the photograph, the colours  do not show up true,  the base card is a light cream and the Kings have a very pretty sparkly sheen.

    
(1)   Using the linen cream card, make a 6" square base card.

(2)   Stamp the four corner images onto the cream card, using a black ink pad, cut out and glue one in each corner of the base card.

(3)   Stamp the Kings onto another piece of cream card, again using a black ink pad.

(4)   Die-cut a large  scalloped circle from grey card and glue to the card centre.

(5)   Die-cut a smaller scalloped circle from white card and colour with the yellow and blue  distress ins.

(6)   Glue the coloured circle to the grey circle.

(7)   Cut out the Kings and colour with the watered down orange oxidized and antique gold Starlight paints.

  
(8)   Fix the Kings to the centre of the coloured circle, using silicone glue to add some dimension to the card.

     

 
(9)   Stamp 'Joy to the World'  on the bottom of the base card, using a black ink pad.

   
(10)  Glue a square gem to the top and bottom of the sentiment and a star gem to the top of the card.

That's all from me tonight my friends, many thanks for visiting my blog.   I will be back soon with another card so see you all then.

                                                                     Love and rainbows,

                                                                     Hugs   Jennifer xx.





 

Winter Woodland.

Hi there Everyone,

The weekend is here yeah!!    time to relax lol.   I would like to share my no. 7 card for my friend Jane's MacMillan Nurses  coffee morning.   I have used  Imagination Craft's, gorgeous fir trees Art stamp.

   
(1)   Cut a piece of white card, slightly smaller than  the base  card.

(2)   Using a Versamark pad, stamp the Christmas text stamp on the left-hand side of the piece of card, then
        heat emboss with gold embossing powder. 

(3)   Run a gold pen around the edges of this card and fix a piece of emerald green ribbon across the centre
        of the card, securing on the reverse, then matt onto the base card.

(4)   Colour a piece of white card with the red, emerald and white gold Starlight paints and when dry, stamp
        the fir trees stamp onto it, using a Versamark pad and heat emboss with black embossing powder

.

(5)   Trim this down, leaving a very narrow border of the painted edge showing.    (Just a little tip lol, if you
        trim right up to the edges of the black embossing, the embossing powder may chip off.)

(6)   Glue this image on top of the ribbon, slightly to the right of the base card.

(7)   Die-cut a corner and paint it with the white gold Starlight paint, then glue to the bottom right corner of
        the base card.

Bird of Paradise Card.

Good evening Followers, Friends and Visitors,
. 
I'm back again with another card to share with you   .    This is card no. 5 for my friend's MacMillan Nurses coffee morning in a few days time.    Such a worthy cause.      I have used a free set of stamps, called Art Nouveau by Jennifer Ellory,  which was  given free with the Cardmaking and Papercrafts magazine.   I have to apologise for a tiny piece of gilding flake which was on the card when I photographed it and I did not see it.   I no longer have the card, so cannnot take another photo. 

   
Fold the ready creased white scalloped card down the centre line, making a 6" x 6" base card.   Using the corner stamp from the set, stamp it in each of the four corners, using a black ink pad.     Below is the stamp set, a really lovely set and I have only used 2 of these stamps for this card.

    
Stamp the main bird image in black onto a piece of green card.   Trim around this and matt onto a slightly larger piece of black card.

   
Highlight parts of the design using a white pen.   Then add some silver gold Starlight paint to the bird, leaves and hearts.   Matt this onto the centre of the base card.

Stamp the corner stamp leaves onto some green card, using a black ink pad and cut them out, then glue in position on the original stamped corners.

    
Lastly, add some gold Starlight paint to the flowers on each corner.

Thanks for visiting my blog, hope you have enjoyed your visit and have been inspired to take up this lovely hobby.    I will be back soon with another card.

                                                                Love and Rainbows,

                                                                  Hugs    Jennifer xx.

My Best Friend the Flower Girl.

Hello again to you all, hope your week has got off to a good start !    Tonight I have card no, 4 for my friend's MacMillan Nurses coffee morning, coming up soon,   I have used Imagination Craft's really pretty Daisy oval stencil and of course Sparkle Medium.   This card is ideal for any little girl's birthday.   Apologies for the shadows on  these photos, the  weather was not good for photos taking  lol!

Fold the white scalloped  card down the centre crease line, making a 6" x 6" base card on which to work.

  
Cut a square of white card slightly smaller than the base card.   Cover this with some pink patterned paper, (I used  Papermania by docrafts - Boysenberry.  )   Lay the daisy stencil on top of the patterned paper and spread  the Sparkle Medium over the design, using a metal spatula.     Remove the stencil and leave the
image to dry.

Take another piece of white card  and stamp the girl onto it, using a black ink pad.   Repeat this four times more.   Colour her with the watercolour pencils, then die - cut the first image, using the oval die with the slits
in it.

Die - cut enough flowers from the  patterned papers,  to fit into each slit on the  die - cut oval, using the Nellie Snellen die,  .   Fix these flowers into the slits around the oval and secure on the reverse with sticky tape.     Glue this to the centre of the  daisy oval.

         
3D the other images of the girl and glue to the original image, using silicone glue.   Add a white narrow ribbon bow to the top left.

 
Die - cut three flowers from the patterned pink papers and glue in the bottom right corner.   Well that is this card finished.  I will be back again soon with another card.     Have a good Wednesday,

                                                                  Love and rainbows,

                                                               Crafty Hugs   Jennifer xx.

A Skater's Paradise card.

Good evening, how are you all, well I hope.   Tonight I would like to share my third card made for my friend's MacMillan Nurses coffee morning.   For this card I have used Imagination Craft's beautiful Art stamp, Skaters.   I have used a white scalloped 6" x 6"  card as a base card.

Put only  the front of the base card into the embossing folder and emboss, using an embossing machine.   Colour the card with the  four distress inks until you are happy with the results.   The embossing folder was given free with a craft magazine, sorry cannot remember which one lol!

      
Die cut a scalloped circle from white card and colour this with the same colours but leaving the centre of the circle slightly lighter than the rest.

Using a Versamark pad, stamp the skaters onto the circle and heat emboss with Imagination Craft's Detail silver embossing powder.   Glue this to the centre of the base card.

    
Add some dots of Imagination Craft's Starlight paint to the snowflake tips and centres.   When dry, rub some silver Alchemy wax over parts of the outer embossed design, not in the centre of the heat  embossed oval shape.

   
Add some silver dots to the scallop edge on the circle.

    
Lastly, glue a blue ribbon bow to the top left of the oval.

That's all from me for the moment, thank you so much for stopping by to read my blog.   I will be back soon with card no. 4.
Enjoy your week, see you soon.

                                                                   Love and rainbows,

                                                                     Hugs   Jennifer xx.
