Wedding Card for Angie and Paul.

This is the 8x8 card I made for my friend's wedding from me and the family. I was pleased with how this came out.  The backing paper is from Graphic 45's wedding/bride collection.  I used the colour of this as the theme throughout. I started with a layer of gold miri, a layer of textured card and a matt of cream card edged with Martha Sterwart punch around the page punches (woodland bird and branch).  The next layer is the backing paper which I stamped and embossed with a creative expressions flourish and holographic WOW powder.  I used versamark ink to highlight around the edges and embossed these as well with the sparkly powder. The next layer is a cream frame cut on the Cricut.  The middle piece is a computer generated sentiment cut with a Nestabilities Beaded Ovals die and mounted on gold mirri (I drew around the die and cut it out to make this gold layer as the oval was the biggest die) This is then mounted on foam on a Spellbinders Lattice Pendant diecut.  I cut some corners and layered butterflies on my Cricut.  All the edges are inked with Tattered Rose distress ink.  I added a few pearls here and there.  Inside, the verse is printed on cream card and the corners are the Martha Stewart punch.

Just Peachy!

A simple Cricut card for my friend who returned to work after her cancer treatment.  It says inside ......to have you back!  I cut the sentiment and peach using my  'Just Because Cards' cartridge.  I used my little Martha Stewart butterfly punch and doodled (not very well) the trails.

One card - two challenges.

Well, I'm on a roll now. I thought this year that as I have cards to make I should be more thoughtful and look for challenges to enter instead of just crafting away merrily in my own world! So as I have a very dear friend who is going to hospital for quite a big operation in the next couple of weeks I thought I'd make her a card which I can enter into a challenge. I've used a digi image from Bugaboo stamps which is most apt as being a nurse herself she probably won't make the best of patients and don't say but I think it looks a bit like her!! I coloured her with Promarkers and highlighted parts with Glossy Accents. I found my tumbled glass distress ink pad today- yay - I knew I had a blue one somewhere and have combined it with some brown bazzill card and spotty papers to make this card.

For this A5 card I have used:

Digi image and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps (I reprinted the sentiment to fit)

Promarkers ( I really do love them!)

Paper Pizazz Vintage 8x8 papers

Brown Bazzill cardstock

Martha Stewart Deep Lattice punch

Hobbycraft and QVC flower punches

Nellie Snellen - Branch punch

Papermania and Hobbycraft dots and gems

Diamond Stickles, spotty ribbon and Glossy Accents.

I'd like to enter this into 2 challenges:

The Allsorts Challenge Blog : Week 86 - Teal and Brown

and

I Love Promarkers : # 48 Punches

I've made a calendar too, I'll try and upload that tomorrow - that's all for now folks..

Two Challenges.

Close up of home made flower.

Whoo, hoo, I've posted a challenge card!! Not been here for ages what with holidays and then returning to work. I've made a few cards and have made this one at the weekend.

I made this card for my daughter's friend. The image is a Tilda stamp - coloured with Promarkers. She is sitting on a ribbon in which there's a knot (Truly Scrumptious extra) I used My Mind's Eye pink paper for the bp. The background card is Bazzill card which I've distressed around the edges with a craft knife and then inked with Distress inks - Dusty Concorde and Aged Mahogany. I scored some of the card with the knife and I like the effect the ink has in these cuts. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the border and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose in the corner with Martha Stewart punched leaves. I made the flowers on the right hand side using flower shapes which I cut on the Cricut. I inked these with the Distress Inks. I used pearls, stickles and a Cardcraft sentiment to finish. Only thing is it wouldn't go in the envelope!!

I'd like to enter it into two challenges:

Truly Scrumptious Sketch Challenge

(Use a knot)

and

Totally Tilda

(Make your own flower)

A special wedding card

I had a request from a friend to make a card for her to give to her husband on their wedding day - what a responsibility. The flowers and embellishments are mounted on a Spellbinders Lattice die-cut in white pearl card. This is mounted on a white card panel with Martha Stewart Scalloped Dot borders trimmed with ribbon from Hobbycrafts. This is matted onto silver card and trimmed with embossed punched hearts, cream pearl hearts and pearls. The sentiment is computer generated and cut with an oval nestability and mounted on a small die cut from the Lattice set. I made a box for it from Kanban white embossed card which was tied with ribbon. She loved it, thank goodness!

Wedding Card No2

Another large A4 card this time to go withe the red and white Tilly cake. I've used the same elements as the last one but in a different way. The top border is a MS butterfly border punch. The heart is punched out and embossed with a sizzix heart and matted on a nestie. The small heart punch and the rose is from Hobbycraft. I used taupe pearls on this one. Monograms as before.

Wedding Card No 1

This is a large A4 card for the staff at school to sign. This one goes with the car. The large sentiment is a Sizzix embossing folder (A6) from a Wedding set which I used through my cuttlebug. The monograms are cut on the Cricut using the 'Tie the Knot' cartridge. The borders are a Martha Sterwart deep border punch - lattice border and a MS heart border. I used lace and ribbon down the edge and a fabric covered chipboard bird and pearls to finish. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - I just love them.

DC February Friendship Swap.

Here is my Docrafts Feb Friendship swap card for Tracey, Princess666. I used my Cuttlebug Friends Forever folder and die for the main image and inked it with coffee archival ink. The background is a Bazzill panel embossed with the script folder. Martha Stewart butterflies are attached to the front (an extra challenge) and glittered. I used a Tilda stamp, 'Tilda with Bee' inside. I designed this card as a wallet so that I could include some goodies! Hope Tracey likes it.
