.... sorry for the absence, life just got busy despite James starting school mid week. I have been running about with Hannah getting tasks done before she goes back to Sixth Form on Monday so no crafting has taken place until yesterday evening!
I made this card for CASual Fridays this week who are wanting a fall card that has been paper-pieced. Now this just coincides with the arrival of my new PTI stamp and die set called Autumn Acorns so I had to use it straight away
The background has had the wood-grain IP treatment and the twine is jute that I've wrapped around the wreath.
The card is only 4" square, I just fancied trying a smaller card again :)
I also wanted to show you a card I made for my blog buddy Emily who has just moved house at the beginning of the month. I know she has received it so I can show you now :)
Emily has a mini challenge going on over at her blog whilst they settle into there new home, pop over and see the details :)
So let's see when Mr Blogger decides to acknowledge my post publication today.... I've noticed that he seems to be messing other bloggers about too!
Thanks for looking X
I have managed to avoid buying any of those wonderfully detailed dies and I didn't have the acorns on my wishlist...but your card is so stunning, I now have two more items to purchase!
ReplyDeleteAll the little touches are perfect - the twine, the embossed background - it all comes together beautifully.

I love the moving card. Hee. Awesome Jenny. The fall card is absolutely brilliant.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, I love the delicate wreath and the paper-pieced acorns are fabulous! I'd love a wreath like that for my door, too! Good luck with the challenge...this one's a contender!

ReplyDeleteluv the fall wreath with acorns, with textures in the back and on acorns! Beautiful! I'm sure you made your friend laugh when she opened it! lol Great idea!! :-)
ReplyDeleteJenny - both these cards are just fab. I do like the one for your friend - especially the specically labelled boxes :) Your autumn themed card is fab - the acorns and leaves are just lovely! Note to self - I don't need any new stuff (leaves muttering to self )
ReplyDeleteThat's clean and simple with such elegance. Well done. Thanks for you sweet comment.
ReplyDeleteLove all the gorgeous texture on your autumn card. Quite creative card that you made for Emily.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! This is such a lovely sophisticated design! Love the subtle colors and paper-piecing! So glad that you join the fun with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my card, Jenny! Those moving boxes gave me a smile, especially that the craft box is the biggest and not the only one. LOL The grapevine wreath die is amazing and I want it, too! The twine looks wonderful interwrined in it and the acorns are a great embellishment. Thanks again for the sweet card!!
ReplyDeleteI like to see your work. Their diversity is very interesting for me. Often, doing something that is for me an incredibly sophisticated in its aesthetics. I like that.
ReplyDeleteJenny this is so pretty! I love the woodgrain background! I am so glad you played along at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteLove the acorns on your card and the wood grain background,like your loving card too
ReplyDeleteAnne
Wow Jenny, your autumn card is fabulous! Love the dies you've used and the wood grain embossing is perfect. Love your fun new home card too :o) Lisa x
ReplyDeleteFab cards Jenny! I am loving those acorns!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Victoria ~x~
Wonderful wreath card. I have that die on order and now can't wait for it to arrive. You have inspired me and now I have lots of ideas running around in my head

I love these two cards, Jenny! The moving house card is SO cute with the boxes. I bet your friend loved it too.
ReplyDeleteI have resisted ANY of the PTI items, because of the cost to ship to Canada. It had to cost more to ship across the ocean, than across the border ... so if you were able to 'bite the bullet' then maybe I should too. ;-)
The acorn card is just SO sweet. Perfect size too. TFS!
Cheers, Karen

Gorgeous card Jenny, the wreath die cut is amazing, and how lovely do those acorns look nestled on it? Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love both these cards Jenny. That autumn one is gorgeous, so detail and perfect colours. It does feel very much like autumn now! And that new home card is fantastic, such a good idea! Becky x
ReplyDeleteOh Jenny - I LOVE your autumn card. I have to buy that die. I know you have had this creation cooking in that wonderful brain of yours. It is fantastic. I love the detail of the twine,a nd the woodgrain background is perfect. Fall is definitely in the air here - cool mornings and nights, though it will be 80 something today. I also love the card you made for your friend. Love the boxes, and the dishes - and yes, my craft boxes would be large and plenty! x
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year too Jenny (despite its busy-ness!) and this wreath card has a lovely autumn feel. The new home card for Emily is brilliant - I love the way you focused on the main thing about moving: boxes! I'm still having nightmares about them ten years on! Vx
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect timing for PTI to arrive! Love that wreath - it goes perfectly with the PTI stuff! And your card for Emily is so cute - I love those funky dishes!
ReplyDeleteHope everyone's settled back in to school now and life quiets down a bit for you!
Your wreath is beautiful, Jenny. I love all the texture in this card, as well as the rustic, fall colors. Gorgeous! Ann
