In the Garden.........

Good Afternoon ladies

Here I am again with another set of cards for July, where has the time gone? At least the weather has been kind to us up to now, apart from a few days of rain which I think the gardens were in need of...
It helps to be able to get on with the cards while it rains and then out in the garden when the sun comes out.
My theme this time is 'In the Garden', with some brightly coloured papers from Graphic 45's World's Fair Collection. Turquoise and orange in the patterned papers with pale green and blue in the coordinating plain papers,appropriately called' Bluebell'.

Lili of the valley stamp:- Glamorous Gardening
Little Claire stamp:- Wavy Hedgehogs

           A little bit of sewing on the edge of this card....

 
                                                           Lots of colouring too.

                                           Second sample using the Wavy Hedgehogs........

                                                              A sneak peek as usual.

The July classes will be held on:-

Sat. 9th   July
Sat. 16th July
Four cards
£16:00 for the class.

Let me know if you would like to come along.
I will be back soon with another sneak peek.
Thank you for popping by.

                                         Charlie at the end as usual.......

I was wondering if anybody can get themselves into a U shape like Charlie, and get themselves out again!!!!!! SAFELY.
Take care all. Jennifer x

Card of the Month.....Relax and enjoy your day......

Afternoon ladies

June has arrived and with it another card of the month.......

I have made this card with men in mind, as it is Father's Day this month. I have used another stamp from LOTV, "Lazy Afternoon".  It is a great stamp for a Birthday, or good for a Retirement card too.

All products used:-

1 x 7" square card
1 x Kaisercard, Sunshine
1 x A4 Newspaper print
Die cut tags
LOTV stamp, Lazy Afternoon
Versafine ink (Smokey Grey)
Clear embossing powder
Corner inverted punch
Corner Die, photo edge
Martha Stewart zigzag punch
Embossing folder (Herringbone)
Brown sewing silk
Cotton ribbon
Polka dot ribbon
Twine
Brown brads
Momento pen,(Rich Cocoa)
Promarker pens for colouring

I have the Kaisercard and the Newsprint for sale, ribbon etc.
Hope this card gives you some inspiration, men's cards can be a bit tricky.


Posted a few pics of charlie up to mischief again.................

I was just sorting my soup out for my dinner, crossword at the ready, when he was up on the table in a flash....munching my crisps!!!!!

You can't be cross with them for long though..... He has found a comfy spot lead on my leg while I was watching tv, trouble is my legs started aching !!!!!

He seems much better, but he is still on tablets from the vets....
See you all soon.
Take care

Afternoon all........

Just updated a change to one of the cards on the Rosy Lee samples. I wasn't sure of the pink cups so I have now changed them to green, which I much prefer.

I have added a third peak for you.....

Using the' Tea for Two' trio from Lili of the Valley stamps.

P.S. A picture of  Charlie, he seems much better of late......

                   Just got a bit of a grumpy look!!!!   That's Charlie!!!!

Thanks for popping by.
take care.

A Cup of Rosy Lee.......

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all well and enjoying this nice weather we are having at the moment. We could get used to the sun shining everyday, just a bit of rain at night to keep the gardens happy......I wish!!!

Had the last of my "Three Men and a Lady" classes yesterday, so I am on to the next set of cards.
Pink and white and pale greens and the title 'Rosy Lee.'

I have used Kaisercraft papers, Cottage Rose collection and stamps by Stampendous and Lili of the Valley. Co-ordinating inks and ribbons etc.

Checks, flowers and white washed wood effect on the papers look very clean and fresh.........

The first sample I have made is a new shape of card.

A sneak peek, but you will have to wait to see the shape.......

Versamark and white embossing powder on this card for the teacups...

See where the title is coming from, Rosy Lee ...Tea!!!

Hope you like the cards. Let me know if you would ike to come along.

Sat. 4th June

Sat. 18th June

Four cards:- £16:00

Took a few photographs this week in the woods near us. We are so lucky to be a stones throw away from greenery!!!!

I love Bluebells and try and get to see them every year in all their glory....

It was well worth a visit.

Take care and thanks for popping by.

Card of the Month.....Doodle Flower Basket.

Afternoon Ladies

Hope I find you all well. We have had a few ups and downs at this end including Charlie (the cat), but I think we are on the mend........be it slowly.

It seems ages since I have put in a new post on the blog, think it is because I have had two early classes right at the beginning of the month.

My May card is from the Doodle collection from Woodware, which lends itself to either paper piecing or colouring, as the Doodles are already done for you!!!
I have used a My Minds Eye paper that is both nice on both sides, as is the norm of this paper company, good quality paper too!

Pale greens and oranges to brighten up this dull day......

There are a few greetings in this pack, which I have used one on this card......

  I have rolled up strips of paper to use in the centre of the flowers, then added Glossy Accents...                                                                          

Ingredients used:-

1 x 7" Square white card
1 x MME paper- Mabel 'Little Lady'
1 x Rusty Hinge Distressed paper
1 x Doodle Flower Basket stamp
Scalloped square die
Scalloped & Plain oval dies
Embossing Folder
Versafine black inkpad
Clear Embossing powder
Glossy Accents
Liquid Pearls- Chestnut
Pearls to finish.

I have Stamps and papers to purchase if you want to make the Doodle Card.

Thank you for popping by.
See you soon.

P.S.
A picture of Charlie when he came back from the vets with a shaved neck.......still a handsome chappy though!!!!
