Wedding Wishes

Thanks for joining me from the Card A Day Blog and I'm continuing the Wedding Theme. Today's card was really quick to put together.  I stamped the flowers and leaf several times onto white card stock then embossed with white embossing powder.  I used water color pencils to color them in and after they were dry I cut them out.

Using my embossing folder I embossed a piece of white card stock cut to 4 x 5 1/4".  I wrapped a piece of white seam binding around the lower portion and tied a bow.  I added the flowers and leaves with a few pop up dots behind the top flower for added dimension. To finish it off  the front I added a few pearls.  

 

I cut another piece of white card stock at 4 x 5 1/4" for the inside and inked the edges.  I added a small piece of seam binding, another flower and a couple of leaves in the corner.

Thank so much for stopping by.  Tomorrow Shelley Bordeleau is hosting at Card A Day Blog so stop by to see her inspiration.

Happy Anniversary

I need to take to the office an Anniversary card for one of my co-workers and found this card.  I haven't used the Paper Lace cartridge before but now have several ideas so watch for upcoming projects.   I started by welding the shadow featured together then arranging the circles and design element onto my card. 

I stamped and embossed the white flowers then stamped the leaves and hand cut them out.  The tag is from the Heritage cartridge and sized to fit onto the card in Design Studio.  I added a piece of lace to the background and layered everything onto top. 

I cut two extra red circles and two white circles for the inside of the card as I need plenty of room for well wishes.  I stamped the leaf from Fabulous Florets a couple of times on each white circle.  All of the edges are inked with Vintage Photo.

Since my card is fat from all the layers and pop up dots my envelope needs to be able to accommodate this.  I used Wild Card to cut my envelope on a piece of scrap paper, folded it up and made sure I could slide the card easily in and out before I cut into my DSP.

Thanks for stopping by.

Fabulous Florets

I have another dimensional card for you today, but I want to make sure that you know that the drawing for the Spring Has Sprung Blog Hop is on the 23rd.  You have until midnight  March 22 to comment on that post.   Now here's how I made my card.   I started by cutting the oval in my card front embossing it.  The oval was embossed with a different embossing folder.

For each flower I stamped two large and one small flower and hand cut them out.  For my card that is a total of six large flowers and three small ones.  I then glued my first layer of  flowers flat to the card front.  The next layer of large flowers has pop up dots behind them and are turned just a bit.  

 I then ran the ribbon between the flowers and around the frame, tied my bow and positioned the ends how I wanted them to look.  There is just a tiny bit of adhesive behind the tail of the ribbon to hold it in place.  I then added my small flowers to the center of each of the large flowers. As you can see there is quite a few pop up dots behind the flowers.

I used pop up dots behind my card front - lots of them. Then I placed the embossed oval flat to the card base.

Fabulous Florets - CPC8

I made this card for the monthly challenge  Creating Pretty Cards Challenge at Craft Projects Central.

I used Whisper White cardstock for my base and embossed it using the Final Press embossing folder.  The pattern paper is another sheet from the Welcome Neighbor paper pack.  I punched the edge with the scallop border punch then scored along the edge so that it would stand up just a little. 

For the inside I used a whisper white mat cut to 5 1/4 x 4, punched the edge and added a 1/2" strip of the pattern paper behind the scallop.

I stamped the butterfly from the Clearly for You set and punched it out.   The ribbon is tucked behind the pattern.

Thanks for stopping by.

I am entering this card in the Creating Pretty Cards 8 challenge.
