Engagement Party Shirts and Decorations

Hello everyone, I hope 2022 is starting of great for you..
Ours is.  Kelsie's bridal party held a

"Ring In The New Year" engagement party

for a few people on New Year's Eve.

I have a few things to show you that I created

for the event.

The party was very casual, pajamas, leggings, tee shirts,

what ever we wanted to wear.
I made these shirts for Kelsie and Brad.

I cut them with my Silhouette Cameo from some

HTV that I got for my birthday.

Here are a couple close up pictures, so you can see

the stars. (click on the pictures to make them larger)

This HTV was very easy to work with

and has some nice shine on the stars.

The theme for their wedding etc. is

"It was written in the stars"

so this was perfect for their shirts.

Sara and I made the decorations together.

I created a multi-sized file to cut the stars in my 

Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software

I cut the stars from a couple different colors of 

glitter card stock.

Once they were all cut, we strung them together

using a fine thread and hung them from the ceiling.
I also made the banner, cutting it out of black card stock

and backing it with metallic card stock.

We strung that with black ribbon.

I love how the banner turned out.

Since the theme was 
It was written in the stars

we thought it would be cute to have

their names hanging in the stars.

I used holographic vinyl and shadowed them with 

black card stock.

Here's a picture of the happy couple with

their shirts on that I made for them.
We were all very happy with how the

shirts and decorations turned out.

And the party was a big success.

Thanks for visiting today,

I hope you were inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

until then,

create!

Art Swap Christmas Card

Greetings!

I belong to an Art Swap Group, it's a group 

of ladies who met years ago on a stamping 

message board.  We now have our group on Facebook.

Each year we do a swap at Christmas time.  This year

we are doing a card swap with one other person in

the group.

Some of us are from the US, some from Canada

and some from Australia.

I always look forward to seeing what everyone does

for their swap.

I decided to do a card with an inlaid technique.

I had this star design in my library of my

Silhouette Design Studio Software

and love it.

I cut it out of metallic textured card stock

and gold glitter card stock.

The holly leaves, berries and ribbon are cut from

plain colored card stock.

I adhered double sided tape to the back of the star

and then went about placing the pieces into the star

cut out.

I was really loving this card, but it needed a little something.

I think the white dash lines around the card 

give it a finishing touch.

I hope the gal that I'm sending this to likes it

as much as I do.

Have you made any different Christmas cards this year?

The one I make for this swap is always different

than the others I make.

I'm glad you came to spend a little time with me today,

I hope you enjoyed your time here and will come again

soon.

Until then,

have a happy holiday season!

 

Kelsie's Card

Hi all!

Our family has a lot of birthdays and anniversaries

in February.  One of those is our daughter's birthday.

Kelsie loves purple, so I took a dive into my 

background stash and found this piece that I made

with alcohol inks and blending solution on

vellum.  It's hard to get a picture of how really 

beautiful this piece is, but I love it.

When the ink was still a little tacky in spots

I applied some pink metallic Deco-foil

Adhesives show through vellum, so I covered the 

entire back of it with wide score tape and adhered it to

a white card base. Covering the entire piece

gives it a uniform look and you can't see the adhesive.

I cut the Happy Birthday from some glitter card stock

and also cut 3 or 4 from plain white card stock.

I then layered them to give the sentiment some dimension.

You can see the shiny pink Deco-foil a little better

in this picture.

On the inside of the card, I wrote a personal note 

to Kelsie.

Thanks for coming by today,

I hope you'll stop again soon.

Until then,

make someone smile.
