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 

every birthday ...

Big Balloon die from The Stamp Market, made into a pretty shaker (as shown as inspiration to buy the product) just love this and super easy.  This is a 6" square card to give you an idea.  Teamed up with a die quickly becoming a favourite from The Greetery, Twisted Crepe.  Dug out a stamp set from Altenew titled Kind Confetti, perfect me thinks, ha ha.  Plenty of confetti and some sequins to finish.

Happy crafting, Jane x

SEASONS GREETINGS ...

A couple of fun interactive Christmas cards to share today, loving the Dancin range from Spellbinders; this one is titled quite simply Dancin Penguin, super fun and very simply to construct.

Pattered paper from my stash on DL card blanks, greeting.  Some old Doohickey snowflake dies with gems.  A little white highlight and shaped bellies, plenty of skating fun for all.

So seeing as I haven't blogged much this year, naughty naughty, I thought I would post a creation a day throughout the month of December for a variety of occasions and not just Christmas, enjoy.

Love came down at Christmas time ...

This years very special makes complete, over 35 cut elements per card, along with colouring and assembly.  Taken a wee while but I am really pleased with the results.  

I must first and foremost thank Wanda as a designer for The Greetery for the idea of the little heart, it is a great little touch and I just had to add to my special creations, so thank you Wanda.

So backing paper is from Nitwit Collections, The Greetery Hourglass dies & coodinating elements.  Pine Bough and sentiment banner also from The Greetery, they really have thought of everything for this one.  Main hourglass elements & pine bough all cut in white card and coloured with Promarkers, gold card, embossing enamel & a couple of gems to finish.

Merry Christmas crafters, Jane 

 

HAMMMMY birthday ...

I just love any of the agenda stamps from Mama Elephant and this one is no exception, had this one from release but only just inked up, oops! Paired up with Celebration Hamsters, just adorable.

So I have stamped a wrap for an 6" square card blank.  Coloured with Promarkers, stitched vellum shaker with confetti. Computer generated Hammmmy and birthday die.  Glossy accents for the chocolate on the cake.  Inside, pink polka dot papers, hand stitched and a mini wobble spring for this little fella too.  CG sentiment for the inside also there is a stamp in the set with the same sentiment, I just wanted a different font.  A few little pastel pearls to finish.

Merry Christmas to my fellow crafters & bloggers

FOR THE RECORD ...

Had this Silhouette file for a while and was asked for a music card so thought I would give it a go, two colour options so they had a choice. Along with the acetate spiral that I hadn't done for a long while but came across on my blog the other day and thought it would add that little extra finish.  Finished card folds flat and fit in a C5 envelope.

Thank you for popping by my blog today, Jane x
