Balmy Summer Days.

Hello Followers, Friends and Visitors,

First of all I would like to say "hello"  to my newest Follower, Aussie Annie.   Welcome to my blog, I  hope you enjoy your visits.   I do appreciate you all and thank you for your constant support and your encouragement, it makes the time I spend all worth while.  

I thought I would cheer everyone up with  a card today which makes us think of blue skies, fluffy white clouds and wall to wall sunshine lol!   Hope you like it.    I have  used Imagination Craft's Sparkle Medium, my favourite product of theirs.    I also use one of their lovely scene stencils,  which is available on their website.   This card was made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts  in June 2012.

Make a base card from orange card stock.   Onto this matt some white then black card, each time leaving a small border showing.

Take another piece of white card.   Using the Marianne Design Die, cut out and emboss the circles,   we will use the inner circle and the outer negative of the larger circle..   Lay the negative over the white card and use this like a stencil,  blend the distress inks using the blending tool, over the inside of the negative.   Remove the negative.   Lay the beach huts stencil on the white card again and spread the sparkle medium over it with a metal spatula.


Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.   Repeat this again on another piece of white card but the beach huts only this time,  plus the two larger clouds.   Matt the image onto the base card.   Cut out the clouds and the huts only from the second image and 3D onto the original image.   Colour around the edges of the card with distress inks.

     
Take the small inner circle you die cut and colour it with distress inks.   Stamp 'Happy Birthday' onto it using a black inkpad and fix to the centre of the card using sticky foam pads.

Take another piece of white card and using the shells stamp, roll this across the card, using the black ink pad.   Colour the card with distress inks and cut out the individual shells, starfish etc.,  and fix to the bottom of the base card, using sticky foam pads to add a little more dimension to the card.

  
Add a narrow strip of orange card across the bottom.   Add a gold holographic heart just above the cloud on the right hand side.   Add a few smaller cut out shells to the sand beside the beach huts.

Well that's it my friends, I do hope the sight of my card makes you think of a beautiful summer's day and brings a smile to your face.

Take care of yourselves and have a wonderful weekend, see you again very soon

                                                               Love and rainbows,

                                                                Hugs    Jennifer xx.

Black and white hearts

Good evening Fellow bloggers, friend and visitors,

First of all, I would just like to say a big 'welcome' to my latest follower, Dawn Lancaster, thank you so much for following my blog and I hope you enjoy your visits and of course, not forgetting  all my lovely blogging friends who have joind my blog in the past.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.    We had a quiet one for a change.   The weather today has been gorgeous, warm and sunny.   Had no time to craft today, we had 10 large dumpy bags of logs delivered which kept Hubby and myself busy all afternoon lol!!   We have emptied 8 bags,  leaving another 2 to go !!   They have all been stacked up in our log bays, ready for the coming winter for our lovely cosy, warm log fire.

On to tonight's card which I made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts  in September 2011.  This beautiful heart/leaf stencil is still available on their website.   I love black and white cards as they always seem so crisp and clean cut.   Ok , off we go then.

Take a pice of white card and lay the stencil on top and dab the Lamp Black stencil paint through the design using a stencil brush.   Put aside to dry.

    
Make a base card from white card stock.   Cut out a square of black card to fit on top of the white base card but leaving a narrow border of the white showing.   Using the largest of the  round Nellie's Frames Dies, die-cut a circle from the centre of the square of black card.   Put the cut out circle aside for use on another project as we will be using the negative ( left over after die-cutting the circle from the black piece of card.)  

Using the EK Success punch, punch a heart in each corner of the black card.   Next, using the tiny hole punch, punch out holes  evenly  spaced around the card.  

     
Glue the card with the black stencilled leaf hearts, to the back of the black card, so the heart leaves show through the round  aperture.   Glue the black card to the white base card.   Punch out nine tiny butterflies and glue to the card front.

Using the Sizzix flower dies, die-cut the flowers from white card, shape then glue them together and glue to the left-hand side of the card.

   
Punch out two leaf stems using the Martha Stewart punch,  from white card.   Glue one to each side of the flower.   Add rhinestones to the flower centre and three more to the bottom right, just below the circle aperture.

Well that is that finished now, quite an easy card to make.   Hope you like it.   Take care of yourselves until I'm back again in a few days.

I really appreciate your interest and support in my creations, just hope they give you some inspiration  for your own cardmaking.

                                                               Love and rainbows,

                                                                Hugs    Jennifer xx.

Dragonfly Dance.

Hello everyone,

I do hope you are all having a lovely weekend, despite the changeable weather lol!!   Sunshine and April showers in May!   well can't grumble, it could be worse, we have had snow here in June before but it did not last until the afternoon lol!   Ok then, onto today's card.   I made this way back in June 2011 for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts   and it used their stencil stamp range (not sure if still available)  but you could use similar stamp designs, this particular one was called Dragonfly swirl and diamond set   These stamps all work so well with each other

Make a base card from white card stock.   Matt a piece of light green card onto the white, leaving a small border of the white showing.    Take one piece of lilac and two pieces of white card and punch down one edge of each with the Martha Stewart embossed  zig zag punch.   Layer these together, white, lilac then white again, leaving a little of the previous one showing.   Trim to size and fix to the right hand side of the green card.

   
Using the flourish stamp from the set, stamp it twice down the left hand side of the card using a Versmark pad and heat emboss with purple and Enchanted Gold embossing powders  by Papermania.   Colour some white card with the Vivid Inks pad - Dynamics and punch out the flower a few times, then 3D them and glue to the centre of the flourishes.   Punch some of the spare coloured card with the Martha Stewart Infinite Loops punch and cut out small pieces and add them to the flower.

 
Add a little Imagination Craft's Glitz Gel  to the loops on the flower.   Take a piece of white card and colour it with the Vivid inkpad and a piece of cut n' dry foam   Over stamp this with the  dragonflies, swirls and the diamonds stamps from the set.

Using the flower blossom 2 nestability from Spellbinders, die cut a hole on the now coloued card on the bottom right hand side.   Next die-cut another and cover with Versamark and heat emboss with the  purple and the enchanted gold powder.   Add a piece of lilac angel hair to the back of the die-cut and glue over the hole on the card so that the green card shows through the angel hair.

Lay the Imagination Craft's  diamond stencil on top of the stamped diamonds and add some Versamark to the diamond edges and heat emboss with the purple powder.

  
Trim around the piece of stamped, coloured, card with a pair of pinking shears and glue to the base card.   Next take a piece of white card and stamp the dragonfly from the set, three times with Versamark and heat emboss with the purple and the enchanted gold embossing powders.   Cut out and glue to the front of the card.   Lastly, add a small yellow ribbon bow to the top right-hand side of the card.

    
Well that's it folks, not such a quick card to make but looks quite effective I think, hope you think so too.   Thank you  for popping by to say hello and hopefully, leaving a comment lol!    I do appreciate your visits and I hope you can gain some inspiration from my cards and if you don't already make cards, it may encourage you to take up this fabulous, satisfying hobby.   Until my next post, stay well and above all be happy!

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                                   Hugs   Jennifer xx.

Imagination Craft's Kasbah Tile Stencil.

Good evening my Lovelies,

Hope your day has been good, despite the wet weather.   A real chilly wind has been blowing here today.   What have you all been doing today? things that make you happy I hope.    One more day and the weekend begins lol!  The card I have for you today was made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Craft's..   I made it for their latest shows on the Create and Craft Weekender and uses their amazing new Kasbah Tile Stencil, which also has a matching mini stencil which you can decoupage.   This looks really good......a decoupaged stencil lol!   what a great idea.  Ok off we go then.

Make a base card from purple card stock.   Matt a smaller piece of white card onto the purple, leaving a small border of the purple showing.

Take the Imagination Craft's  Crackle Dark Jade patterned card and lay the stencil on top and spread the sparkle mediums over the design.   Remove the stencil and wash it before the sparkle medium dries on it.   Leave the image to dry.

     
When dry, trim the stencilled card down a little so as to fit the white card with just a little border of the white showing and  put this aside for the moment.

Next take some white card and lay the small matching stencil on it and spread the diamond sparkle medium over it.   Repeat this once more.

    
When dry, cut out all the pieces and 3D onto the original image, using silicone glue.   Next fix the stencilled card you put aside earlier, onto the base card.    Add a small amount of the coloured sparkle medium onto the smaller, diamond coloured pieces just to bring blend the  main colours  in with the diamond. 

       
Well that's is my friends, hope you enjoyed the shows if you managed to watch them.    I personally love the design of this stenci.l, hope you do too.

I will be back soon, hope you will too, when I will have another project for you.   Thank you so much for taking the time to visit .   I would love it if you were to follow my blog,  I'm always pleased to welcome new friends joining  my blog.    I do like to see your lovely comments and I  reply to each and every one.   Take good care of yourselves.

                                                               Love and rainbows, 

                                                             Big Hugs,    Jennifer xx .

Fairy Delight

Hello Followers, friends and visitors,

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog and leaving some wonderful comments.  I really love to hear what you think of my creations and hope they may give you some inspiration for your own cards.    Just thought I'd pop in an extra post tonight.   I received a beautiful Lavinia fairy stamp free with a craft magazine and as I adore fairies in any form, I just had to make a card using her, so here it is.   She is really pretty.   I have used Imagination Craft's sparkle medium and their daisy dots stencil along with their 'nature' set of mica powders

    
Make a base card from the black shiny card and matt a slightly smaller piece of pink paper onto the black, leaving a small border of the black showing.   Take the patterned paper and lay the stencil on top and spread the sparkle medium over it using a metal spatula.   When dry, matt this onto the pink paper.

Cover a piece of black card with Versamark and sweep colours of the mica powders across it.   Brush off the excess.   Ink up the fairy stamp with Versamark and stamp her onto the card coloured with the mica powders.  This will lift off the powder and you will be left with a silhoutte image of the fairy ( ie., the black card beneath the powders.) 

               
Cut this out using the Marianne die and fix to the centre of the base card.   Make some roses from pink paper and some from a piece of patterned pink paper and glue to the bottom right of the card, add some  leaf stems using some white card and a Tattered Lace die.

   
Add the trailing leaf stem ( from the Tattered Lace Die Set)  to her hand and make and glue a small rose halfway down the stem.   Lastly die-cut a butterfly using a Spellbinders die from black card  and glue to her hand.

Just a little tip to stop the mica powders being rubbed off, spray the  card coloured with the mica powders with a fine cheap hairspray but spray from about a foot away or you may get big blobs of spray on your card, which would spoil the look of your card.    I do hope you like this card as I really enjoyed using this beautiful stamp.   See you all in a day or so.   In the meanwhile enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

                                                              Love and rainbows,

                                                             Big Hugs   Jennifer xx.

Butterfly Beauty

Good morning my Lovelies,

Such a beautiful Sunday morning it is!   The sun has got his hat on lol!   Just thought I'd do an early post for you today.   A card which I made for Imagination Craft's Weekender programme on Create and Craft this weekend.   I have used their fabulous large butterfly stencil 'Butterfly with love.'     This looks absolutely stunning in 'real life' so to speak, when done with sparkle medium on card or on acetate.  OK let's make a start shall we?

Make a base card from blue card and matt a piece of gold mirri card onto the blue, leaving a narrow border of the blue showing.

       
Take a piece of white card, cut slightly smaller than the gold.   Take the butterfly stencil and dab the Silkie's colours onto the stencil, spray with a little water, then lay your piece of white card on top of the stencil.   Brayer over the back of the card, then remove from the stencil and leave it to dry.

    
Wash and dry the stencil, then lay it back on top of the now coloured card, (you will be able to see the negative  shape of the butterfly on your card).   Secure it to your working surface with stencil tape and spread  the three colours of sparkle medium over the butterfly design using a metal spatula.   Remove stencil and leave the image to dry.

    
Once the image is dry, fix this onto the gold mirri card with double sided tape.   Glue the gemstones just above the butterfly and glue a blue bow to the body of the butterfly.

Well that's it folks, hope you like it.   Have a fabulous week and I hope the sun shines on you all.   See you all in a couple of days.    Please don't forget to tune in to Create and  Craft today at 11am  2pm and 7pm  when Sue will be showing us  some fab techniques and products etc.,   See you all soon.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                                    Hugs   Jennifer xx

Well here we are again, it's time for my mid month inspiration for  the Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog for May and the theme is 'Things with Wings.'  hope you like it.

Butterfly Duo

Hello Peeps,

Hope you all had a good weekend.   I have been really busy getting my sample cards ready for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts.     Sue will be appearing on Create and Craft  17th and 18th of May, not sure of the times yet, will let you know as soon as I know,  really exciting as she will have much longer than the usual one hour, which flies by in the blink of an eye, so lots more demonstrations and new products lol!   get saving those pennies as you will be very tempted I think lol !!!     My samples were posted yesterday so hopefully Sue will receive them tomorrow with any luck.

Ok, enough chit chat, let's get on with today's card.   This was made for Sue and Harvey in November 2012 and uses their gorgeous butterfly border decoupage stamp set.  I have to say I don't usually use such bright colours as the cerise, I tend to play safe with pastel colours but I think this one turned out ok, hope you think so too.

   
The base card is made from black card stock, then a smaller piece of cerise card matted onto it, with a border of black showing.   Take a piece of silver card, lay the ivy leaf stencil onto it and spread the sparkle medium over it, using a metal spatula.

When dry, matt onto the cerise card, leaving a slightly larger border of the cerise showing.   Cut a piece of black card approximately five and a quarter inches by two and a half inches and emboss using the dots embossable and the Grand Calibur.   Fix this to the left hand side of the base card.  Die cut a silver border   using the Spellbinder's die and cover with sparkle medium.   Fix to a piece of cerise card and  when dry  glue down the left of the base card, securing the ribbon across the card.   Add a bow to the right.

Stamp the main image onto black card with Versamark and heat emboss with silver powder.   Matt onto cerise card.   Stamp the image twice more.   On the first image trim away the border and glue this onto some cerise card and fix on top of the main image using sticky foam pads.   On the second image, cut out one wing only, of the top butterfly and the body and the two top wings of the lower butterfly.   Glue these onto cerise card and fix to the main image with silicone glue.   Fix the whole image to the base card with sticky foam pads.   Sorry there are no close up photos as I only took the one photo and I no longer have the card to take more.   Hope you like it.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments , they mean a  great deal to me.     See you again in a couple of days.   Have a great time in the meanwhile.

                                                                  Love and rainbows,
                                                                    Hugs   Jennifer xx

Dragonflies and Poppies

Good evening Followers, Friends and Visitors,

How is your weekend going so far? good I hope despite the wet dreary weather.   The card I have for you tonight may help you to forget the wet weather and think of the summertime lo!   I made this card for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts in June 2013 and uses their beautiful Dragonflies and Poppies stencil,  Gilding flakes and Glue.   Hope you like it.    ok let's get straight to it lol !

The base card is made from terracotta card stock.   Cut a piece of white card slightly smaller than the base card and smaller  on the left and right hand sides.   Punch two long edges using the Martha Stewart heart punch from white card and glue to the left and right hand edges of the white card, gluing on the back of the white card.   Matt this onto the terracotta card.

Take another piece of white card, again slightly smaller than the white.   Colour it using distress inks.   Lay the stencil on the coloured card and colour the design with distress inks.   Next lay the stencil back on your card but move it slightly up a little and spread the gilding glue through the stencil.   Remove the stencil and rub on the gilding flakes.   Rub off the excess then gently polish with the gilding flakes brush.   This gives a shadow effect.

   
Secure a piece of ribbon to the reverse of the card and a stamen die-cut (from white card,) then glue a bow on top.

Cut out the Memory Box  heart die from white card  and glue onto the gold bow and glue the bow to the ribbon on the card.   Add a gold heart to the heart die-cut.   Add a white butterfly to the bottom right hand corner.   Add three rhinestones and add another to the centre of the bow on the heart die-cut.   Fix this card to the base card.

Well that's it folks, hope you've enjoyed your visit to my blog.   Thank you all so much for all your lovely comments and constant encouragement,   it means a great deal to me and    I do like to hear what you think of my creations.    Until my next post, take care and I'll be back soon, hope you will too.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

Flight of Fancy.

Good evening my lovelies,

Hope your week is going well and you are happy,  if not, here is a big hug.   The card I have for you tonight was made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts   in June 2012 and uses their lovely Heart Swirl Border Stencil and the beautiful Dragonflies Decoupage Stamp set, along with my favourite Imagination Craft;s product,  Sage Green and Lavender Sparkle Medium.   OK off we go then !

Make a base card from green card stock and onto this matt some white card,   Take another piece of  white card and mix some mica powders with water and using a sponge, dab them all over the card..   When dry, lay the stencil on top and spread some of the sage green  and lavender sparkle  medium over the stencil.   Remove stencil, when dry tie the lilac ribbon down the left-hand edge of the card and secure on the back of the reverse.   Tie into a bow.   Glue the green flower gem to the centre of the bow and glue a small lilac gem to the centre of the flower gem, using Magi-Glue.   Glue three small gems to the top and three to the right of the central rectangle.   Fix this to the base card.

     
Take some acetate and using the Versamark pad and the dragonfly stamp,   stamp onto the acetate and heat emboss using the heat gun and the purple embossing powder.   Cut out the largest dragonfly and colour with the mica powders.   Fix to the rectangle in the centre of the card, using silicone glue.

Next, cut out the second smallest Spellbinder's label from white card using the die and die-cutting machine.   Colour the edges with mica powder.   Stamp 'make a wish' in the centre with Versamark and heat emboss with purple embossing powder.   Draw around the outside edge of the label die, onto green card and cut out.   Fix the stamped tag onto the slightly larger green tag using sticky foam pads and fix to the bottom right of the base card.   Well that's it folks hopee you like it.   Unfortunately the lovely glitter of the sparkle medium and the beautiful sheen from the mica powders don't show up very well on this photograph.   Thank yo so much for taking the time to visit my blog and leave such lovely comments,   I appreciate and answer every one.  

Have fun and take good care of yourselves and your loved ones, see you again in a few days.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

A Stroll Down a Country Lane,

Well good evening followers, friends and visitors,

Hope you are all having a lovely holiday weekend whatever you are doing, wherever you are.    The weather could have been better but we mustn't grumble lol.    Tonight I have a card to share with you that I made in February 2012  for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Craft's and I used their Black Stars Sparkle Medium, spatula and Country Lane Stencil.

To begin with make a base card from Black card stock.   Take a piece of white card and trim it until it is slightly smaller than the black card, using a Woodware Trimmer along with the Victorian blade.   Fix this to the black card with double sided sticky tape.           

          
Take some white card and lay the stencil on top and spread the black stars sparkle medium across the stencil. with a spatula.

      
Return the excess sparkle medium to the pot to be used again.   This is a very economical product, not much is actually used to get a good covering.    Wash the stencil and the spatula before the medium dries on.

     
Repeat this process a further six times and leave all the images to dry naturally, about an hour.   Using one of the images as a base, cut out and 3D the others onto the base  until you have  seven layers on the hedges along the lane.   Matt this onto some black card.   Cut across each corner of the black card.   Matt this onto the white card,  adding a piece of red ribbon across the top left corner.

   
Lastly, add a red ribbon bow to the top left corner and glue a tiny red rhinestone in each corner of the white card,     Well there you have it, one finished card, an easy card to make, you just have to have a little patience when 3D ing all the layers together, I used silicone glue rather than sticky foam pads.   Hope you like it.   Enjoy what is left of the holiday weekend.   That's all for now, see you in a few days time, when I will have another project for you.

                                                                Love and Rainbows,

                                                                Big Hugs   Jennifer xx.

My Inspiration piece for the May Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog.

Good morning Followers,  Friends and Visitors,

Hope everyone is fit and well and are looking forward to the Bank holiday weekend, not long to wait now.   Hope you have some happy time planned.

The theme for this month's Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog  is 'Things with wings.'  and  I would like to share my card with you all.

If you would like to join us in this challenge and you have some Imagination Craft's products, why not enter as you could win a £40 voucher to spend on Imagination Crafts products, a fabulous prize.   Remember you can also check out my fellow Teamie's inspiration pieces too.



OK, I know you want me to stop the chit chat and get on with the card...I began by making a base card from dark green card stock and then matted  some white then light green card onto the base card, each time leaving  a small border showing each time.   Next take the patterned card ( Bay Leaf,) and using the 'Bay Leaf'  Stencil, put through an embossing machine and emboss.   Lay the stencil back on the embossed card and dab some Versamark through the design, using some cut n' dry foam.   Remove stencil and heat emboss using green and gold embossing powder.


     
Cut out a white oval and put through an embossing machine along with the honeycombe stencil and emboss.
Colour this with orange mica powder.    Matt this onto a slightly larger dark green oval  and glue this to the left-hand side of the patterned card.    Die-cut the mesh panel from white card, using the Memorybox die and weave the orange ribbon under and over the mesh,  secure the ribbon ends on the reverse of the card.     Fix this card to the base card.


Die-cut three Memorybox butterflies.   Cover them with Versamark and heat emboss with the green and the gold embossing powder.   Glue the butterflies on top of the ribbon.   Add  a  green glitter flower to each butterfly and glue onto the base card.


Last of all, add an orange bow to the top of the card.   Well that's it finished folks, hope you like it.    I hope this card provides you with some inspiration and that you will join us at the Imagination Crafts challenge.   The design team look forward to seeing your projects.

See you all again soon,   have a fabulous holiday weekend.

                                                             Love and Rainbows,

                                                            Hugs    Jennifer  xxx
