Wedding Card #3

Good morning! This is card number 3 in my wedding card installments.

This card is super quick and easy to whip up if your in a hurry. I have embossed the very vanilla panel with the now retired elegant bouquet EB folder (but any EB folder will work) and layered it onto a crumb cake base, stamped the greeting in crumb cake from Well Scripted stamp set (also retired but one I'm holding onto) and placed some butterflies and pearls to finish off. This is a card I have duplicated for many different occasions and its so easy and simple to make!

Any questions just ask and as always I really appreciate you taking the time to check out my creations :)

Birthday Case

I'm back with another case which I made a while ago. My inspiration comes from this card, which I fell in love with. I didn't change too much as I thought it was pretty perfect as it was :)

I used pink pirouette dsp, crumb cake, rose red, soft suede ink, very vanilla and certainly celery. I created the flower by scrunching 4 scallop circles and layering them onto of each other and securing them with a brad. I used a lacy circle from nestabilities for the large scallop circle and budding vine embossing folder. The sentiment is from "Well Scripted" and a few pearls add a bit of bling.

Thanks for looking :)

Musical Birthday

Hi! I made this card for my BIL's birthday last year!

I used Kaiser Craft's 'sheet music' panel stamp, along with Stampin Up's 'well scripted' happy birthday. I used real red, whisper white and basic black for my colours. And a few small silver brads just set it off (well I think so) I like how clean and simple this card is. I think my BIL liked it too :)

Thanks for looking!

Guest Designer - SC 03312

Good morning! Recently I was asked to be a guest designer on Sunny Challenges & Creations. The challenge this week is to use the sketch and the distressing technique. Now if you have been following me for a while, you would know that I dont do too much distressing, so it certainly was a challenge for me :)

I took my scissors to all the edges of my card to rough them up, then sponged ink on them all. I used 'elements of style' which was stamped in stazon and coloured with my blender pens. The happy birthday is from 'well scripted'. I think it's still a 'clean' card, but I'll have to challenge myself to do more 'distressed/vintage' looking cards. 

Go and have a look at the other design team's beautiful creations and why not join in on the fun!

Thanks for looking.

Just Add Ink 85 - Just add baby

 Hi again! This week at Just Add Ink the challenge is to "Just add baby". I loved this colour combo of pink and brown that I've seen on a few blogs (I'm not really a 'brown' person, so I don't normally use it) and I still am in love with easel cards. Heres what I came up with:

I've used soft suede, pink pirouette and certainly celery and I've add a lot of pearls! I sponged all the pink pirouette dsp in soft suede and added just a little bit of colour to the main image. 

Hmmm, now I just need someone to have a baby girl - any takers? 

Thanks for looking.

Just Add Ink 82

I love this weeks challenge at Just Add Ink, they want us to go through our stash and find something that had every intention of being used, but never saw light of day. Well I fell in love with this paper I found in a wedding stationary shop about 2 years ago. I intended to make special cards for friends who were getting married, but never got to using it... SO here are the cards and few years late :)

I wanted to let the paper speak for itself and I found this old Mojo Monday (Sketch #176) that I thought was perfect.

The patterned paper on this card is metallic with a flocked, velvety feel by Cristina Re. I love the luscious feel of this paper.

I actually loved the base colour with this card, I teamed it up with another piece of paper that was in the depth's of my stash. I think this patterned paper is also done by Cristina Re.

Here's the sketch: 

Thanks for looking!

Wedding Congrats

Hi again! This card is another case (I promise I do have my own ideas!) but I really liked this card done by Melissa. I loved the modern feel of the card and that it was quite a simple card. The square shape is cut out with stampin' ups top note die cut, here's a video from Mary Fish - enjoy.
