006.9

Good afternoon.

I'll bet the title of this post had you confused. I created this card greatly

influenced by a certain spy, very well known in a series of movies, but I

thought "there is really only one 00..., so 006.9 will have to suffice."😉

In my last post, I used this same new die-set, and as I mentioned I made quite

a few cards of very different styles. I have decided that for this, and my next

several posts, I will show you some of those cards to illustrate the

incredible versatility of the die-set.

I didn't put a sentiment on the card front, thinking that the 

card could be used for a number of occasions. The stamped

greeting inside the card, likewise.

Challenges I would like to enter:-

Die Cut Divas - 'Anything Goes' (2nd entry)

NBUS #31 - 'Anything Goes' (2nd entry)

The Male Room #155 - 'Black and White' (hope the off-white card stock is okay)

Die Set - Stampin' Up Suit and Tie

Sentiment - Stampin' Up Peaceful Moments cling stamp set

Colouring - Promarker Almond (for neck)

Black heat-set gems are from my junk stash

Off-white pearlised texured cardstock, and black glitter card - from my scraps/offcuts box

That all for today...I am now off to the supermarket to do our weekly shopping. Does anyone else hate this task?

I will be back in a day or two with another card, so until then thank you for visiting.

Hello to all the bloggers out there. I hope you are still staying safe

in these uncertain times.

Earlier this year, I saw a die-set in a Stampin' Up catalogue but completely 

dismissed it with "I'd never use that set"......how wrong can one be??? 

 

When I saw some cards recently on Pinterest using the dies I purchased the set 

from a Stampin' Up demonstrator who lives in our retirement village, and 

became instantly 'hooked'.  It is such a versatile set, so I made quite a few

cards of various styles...some for men and boys, and some for ladies.

Challenges I would like to enter:-

Die Cut Divas - 'Anything Goes'

NBUS #31 - 'Anything Goes'

Pixie's Snippets Playground #414 - 'Ruby's Memory'

The Sisterhood of Crafters - 'Happy Birthday'

Die Set - Stampin' Up Suit and Tie Dies

Punches - Stampin' Up Oval Plain and Scalloped Duo; EK Success Small Circle

Colouring - Promarker Almond (for neck)

Sentiment - Stampin' Up Peaceful Moments stamp set

Cardstock, striped paper, and glitter card (tie-pin) - from my large box of snippets and off cuts

Just a quick post on this cool and overcast day.

Until next time,

Hugs,

Jennifer.  xx

 

Daisy Thanks

 

Hello fellow bloggers. After a 3 month absence I am hoping to post more

regularly. Both John and I have had health issues, but during the long break

 I have not been completely idle...I have made many of my Christmas cards

as well as creating a large mixed media art work for a wedding gift (which

sadly has had to be postponed for a second time due to this awful virus).

Several months ago I drove 7 hours north to a reunion for those of us who began

our secondary schooling in 1963😲...yes, that long ago! I had a wonderful week-

end, catching up with old friends and reliving many memories. A pleasant surprise 

was that three of our teachers attended. The reunion, almost 2 years in the planning

 was so well organised, mostly by one lady living approximately 1,500 kms (1,000 miles) 

away from the reunion. To thank Jenny for her mammoth effort, 

I gave her this card (with a box of choccies).

I thought the stamped sentiment inside the card was perfect for 

the occasion.

A closer look at my handmade daisies and the die-cut greeting.
