That 70th birthday card

Good afternoon ladies - goodness! it's Friday again & another weekend is with us.

I finally got around to photographing my brothers card this morning & here it is;


Gosh! it looks a bit rumpled there - but it isn't.
It's a centre stepper card, for which I have a die - so no measuring involved - it is perfect.

I cut the juke box from gold mirri card & then attempted to only emboss it in red mirri card.  
Despite the sandwich instruction with my Gemini - the machine wanted to die-cut it - so it did go through in places - but held together.  So I achieved the result I wanted which was the red coming through - not just behind - the design.  I had to be very careful adding adhesive so that it didn't slide & mark the red.

The die cut "happy birthday" is a strange font - the a's & the p's do not join together - I haven't broken them.


This is the message on the back which I have layered onto gold mirri then decorated with musical notes & a record.

A short while ago there was an A4 sheet of stamps free with a magazine & it was all to do with music.  Very handy indeed.

Have a great weekend - I think the weather is going to be reasonable.
'Bye for now.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
