Happy 50th ...

Firstly, not the easiest card to photograph, being over 16" in length, so my apologies.  Pretty simple, 50 rolled up pieces of paper using gorgeous papers from Nitwit Collections; Coffee Talk.  Little cream flames cut on my Silhouette Cameo, then glittered with Stickles.  Computer generated sentiment and 'make a wish' printed on Safmat to finish.

Now just need to get the fire brigade on speed dial, ha ha!

Happy crafting Jane 

Spectacular Seventy ...

CAS today, cut on my Silhouette, MFT 'Hooray' die cut in gold mirri and topped with gold glitter card stock.  CG sentiment, sequins and pink embossed using one of the fabulous Next Level embossing folders from We R Memory Keepers.

HAPPY 60 birthday ...

 

A milestone DL card today for you, thank you for visiting my little old blog today.  Papers are from Nitwits, balloon shaker, happy birthday sentiment & confetti from The Stamp Market.  60 from The Greetery and a few gems to finish. 

Happy crafting Jane 

Sixtieth ...

Milestone birthday shaker card today, using the gorgeous Wilma loves wine from Stamping Bella.  I have cut the shaker on my Silhouette, image stamped on first & last to create a 3d effect.  Some little heart sprinkles & a few lemon fruit slices too.  Coloured with Promarkers, a little hand stitching, papers from Nitwits, gold organza ribbon and the sentiment is heat embossed in gold. Card size 7x5.

Happy crafting, Jane x

 

Eighty ...

Today I am sharing a special eightieth birthday card which I have made a a lovely lady celebrating today.  So the 3d mason jar is a cutting file over on the Silhouette Design Store by the lovely Lori Whitlock.  I haven't used the flowers in the file but the gorgeous Sizzix Wildflower Stems, cut on smooth white cardstock and individually coloured using Promarkers.  Took sometime to colour but I love the effect.  I have slightly aged the cardstock with Gesso and the heart is also from Sizzix, which I just love.  So the lovely recipient didn't want to be made a fuss of, so I have discreetly put the BIG 80 on the reverse of the tag so she can leave it on the window sill without anyone thinking anything other than a nice jar of flowers.  So I made a box to suit and also some 80 confetti too.

Congratulations ...

Well after the success of making my Hubby our 25th Wedding Anniversary Card I thought I would surprise a friend of my Nan's whom she shares a care home with for her 90th Birthday with a similar card, this time the Rhinestone Star file.  She loves bling & pink so easy peasy.

Silver mirri card, pink mat & bling, bling, bling all the way.

This is an 8x8 white card so there is plenty of room for all to sign.

Treated myself to an upgrade from the Silhouette Portrait to the Cameo

this week, super excited!

'Maze' cut file from the Silhouette Design Store (I love that place)

just cut several times & layered with acetate to finish.

The little ball bearings actually came out of an old draw, perfect.

Kept my Brother amused for a bit too, result!

The papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

Hand stitched & layered onto a Kraft card blank.

Bye for now

Special 18th ...

I have a special pop up box card to share today, this time around an 18th celebration

and the brief was simply 'Girly'.  I didn't want to go bright pink & black which is the norm for

an older girl so I have chosen pink, cream & navy and I am really pleased with the elegance.

Plenty of matting and layering, cake, 18 today, presents, flowers, balloons & more balloons.

Some pretty pearls, cream satin ribbon, you can just about see the lovely heart charm too.

Cut on my Silhouette.  Matching box to complete the memories that this special day will bring.

The papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

Sw33t 6t33n ...

Well if you popped by my blog yesterday I mentioned it was my Daughters 16th Birthday

and this is the card I made for her special day.

Thank you for all our birthday wishes.

She loves the SC images and they are perfect for teenagers too!

Purchased this digi before Christmas when I first saw it especially for her 16th.

Now I can use it more, just wanted my Daughter to have it first!

This one is called 'Secrets' and I have only printed the girls and replaced

the bunting in the middle with my own.

It was a pretty difficult card to photograph but this is the front and

below is the inside.

This is a full length picture of how the card is displayed.

Plenty of stitching for this one, 10 pieces in total but she is worth it!

I have used papers, flowers, fence, charms, cheesecloth, distress ink, Frantage,

twine, ribbon & pearls.

The clouds, birds including the bird cage, matting & layering, tree

and finally the bunting were all cut on my fabulous Silhouette.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Happy 21st Birthday Son ...

Today is my baby boys 21st Birthday and this is the card I have made for him.

Twenty one candles including 2 & 1 and a key too.

There is also a champagne charm along with some gems and buttons

and of course plenty of hand stitching too.

This card is half an A4 piece of black cardstock folded length ways.

The candles including flames were cut using my trusted Silhouette using

papers from a number of Nitwit Collections digi kits.

The sentiment is from the male collection I won many moons ago in blogland!

My Son has to work today so we are having a big family meal out tomorrow which happens to be my

Mother In Laws birthday too, so plenty of cake & champagne to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Christopher

Have a great weekend crafters, love x
