Just Because

I made another Just Because card.  I used Rich Razzleberry instead of the orange, if you missed the prior post click here.  I used the bird stamp instead of the butterfly on this card.



I just love the medallion stamp on the outside of the envelope.

There is always . . . .

something for which to be thankful". - Charles Dickens. This is one of the sayings in the September Kit of the Month from Unity. I used the leaves from this set for the front of my card and the border stamp from the July Kit of the Month.

I stamped newsprint paper with the Medallion stamp and layered the border strip, ribbon and punched the green cardstock with the Swirling Lace border. After embossing the medium die I layered it with the decorative label then placed the leaves on top. All of my edges are inked in midnight black.

I stamped the quote in Olive green and have it inside the card.

Just Because . . .

I needed a card for my Brother-In-Law and his new wife.  They had gotten married in June and are have the reception and new home over the weekend.

Please remember that you can make any picture bigger by clicking on it.


I used the medallion stamp on the outside of the envelope.  I just love this stamp.



I used the medallion stamp on the front of the card then layered the punched and die cut shapes on the front of the card.  Everything is inked with Basic Black.  I added a bit of sheer ribbon from my stash.  I don't have the butterfly punch so I fussy cut around the butterfly.

I used the flat back pearls in the center of the butterfly and only glued the center part down and left the wings free.

I added another butterfly on the opposite side of where I'll put my message. 

I really like how this card turned out.

Mr. and Mrs.

We have a wedding to go to on Saturday and this is card I made for the new couple. I am also going to make this card for my Monthly Card Swap.




I cut my blue accent paper 3.75 x 2.5 and pressed it onto my stamp so that I could see where it was going and to make sure I had most of the image on the paper. I then used clear embossing powder on it to give and added texture. This piece was glued onto the white embossed cardstock and the ribbon was wrapped around it.

I made the bow separate and used a glue dot to attach it to the ribbon. It's a simple but elegant card and can be made using any brides colors.
