Lawn Fawn - Happy Wedding

Hello!

I'm definitely having a TGIF (thank God it's Friday) day today are you?

Luckily I still have plenty of cards tucked away in my draft folder,  still not quite sure how lol!

Anyhooo.......the card I have to share today is a Wedding Card. I love making wedding cards and this time I did something a little different. I used the super sweet Happy Wedding stamp set from Lawn Fawn, this set is so cute with lots of small images perfect for weddings, anniversaries and engagements and made a little wedding shaker card.

I used my Zigs to colour the images, and kept it simple as the images were very small, with pastel pink and blue colour scheme suitable for most weddings.

I used a few MFT dies to make the layout and shaker element of the card and the sequins are a mix of Coconut Ice and Cool Breeze from Lucy.

I've added a list of things I used but no links today as I've so little time and am not under sponsorship.

Hello!

It's another wedding card from me today and I was going to go live with this in the morning, but I got involved in sorting out stuff ready for my big guest room/craft room makeover, and well time just whizzed by.

This is another no image card made with those gorgeous  Galeria papers. I have put the links below for you to find easily.

This was quite a simple card to make (no honestly!), a little diecutting, inking and distressing the edges of my papers and some gold ink on those lovely chipboard pieces from my stash was about all it took apart from the normal cutting and gluing.

I added a sprinkling of sequins to finish off.

Technique Tuesday #9 Vellum Shaker

Hello!

I hope you all had a good weekend and started your week well. I'm back to work this week sadly, but I did put in a fair bit of crafting time when I was off, so I have a few projects in my draft folder now.

As it's Valentine's Day, for my card today I've made quite a modern looking wedding card, quite a departure from my normal vintage, shabby chic wedding makes, but I made up for it by using a few techniques to make it something a bit special.

So first of all I took a 4 x 5.25 piece of vellum and stamped a pattern in Versamark Ink with the Doodle Circle background stamp from Simon says Stamp. 

I then used my gold embossing powder to heat emboss this. I need some new gold embossing powder, because I've had this a while and there's not a lot left and also it's starting to 'clump' a little which is starting to affect my results, making them not quite as crisp as I like.

I set my piece of vellum aside to cool and took a chipboard sentiment and covered that with versamark and gold embossing powder and then heated until it was melted and shiny.

I then cut out a medium circle and a frame in white cardstock. I adhered the vellum to the back side of the frame and put foam tape all around the edges. Then I filled my 'window' with a mix of gold, silver, white and clear sequins and adhered some plain white card to the back.

I glued my chipboard sentiment to my card circle and the shaker window to the top folding card base. Then I glued the circle to the centre of the vellum and added a few sequins for a little bling.

I think this looks quite classy in white and gold and it really has a retro feel about it, what do you 

think?

Helloooooooo!

It's me again...well I guess that's obvious as it's my blog, duh!

I have another wedding card to share with you today. Goodness I seem to have made a lot of Wedding  cards so far this year.

Originally I was going to make an oval shaker card with this, but I couldn't quite get it to look how I imagined it in my head, so I changed my mind at the last minute lol!

 I used this delightful stamp from the Art by MiRan collection, called Wedding Day.

I coloured it up with my distress ink markers to match some lovely vintage style papers and added a chipboard sentiment which I darkened with a little Walnut Stain distress ink.

The top layer is two strips of design paper individually stitched, but I'm thinking I may as well have saved time and gone with one square piece as you can barely even see the gap with everything on top.

Papers and embellishments from The Ribbon Girl are listed below.

Lemoncraft House of Roses Paper
48 mm Madeleine Lace
Cheesecloth

Pastel Wedding Card

Hello everyone. I'm here with an inspiration post for The Ribbon Girl.

 I had a play with my papers and embellishments recently and made another pretty wedding card. I did this one in pastel colours to match the lovely papers from Craft & You. Love the way this one came out.

I used 2 sheets from the Vintage Time pad (links at the end of my post as usual),  lightly inked the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink and distresed the edges with my Tim Holtz tool.  I added a very little gesso on an almost dry brush to the edges of the papers.

I've hand sewn around the top layer with some lilac top stitch thread and I popped a little purple tulle between the layers and popped the top layer up on some foam tape.

I added some beautiful lace, then I cut a scalloped oval out , popped that up on some foam tape and tucked a little cheesecloth behind.

I coated the 2 corner chipboard pieces with versamark ink and then sprinkled with frantage and heated with my heat gun. I did the same for the sentiment.

I made a small floral arrangement with some mulberry paper flowers and some die cut leaf sprays, and poped a little twine bow behind. The flowers have a very light brushing of gesso too, just to tone down the colour a little.

I finished off with some pearl hearts and some pearl and crystal spray.

Wedding Day

Hi everyone, I'm popping in today with a quick share.

My daughter is going to a wedding later in the year and wanted a nice wedding card for the Bride and Groom. Since I enjoyed making the last non stamped wedding card so much, I thought I'd try my hand at another. I used my Whimsy Stitched Border Trio dies to cut the papers, distressed the edges and inked them with walnut stain distress ink. Then I edged them with some rose organza ribbon. I made a little bridal bouquet in the top left corner and balanced that with a large pearl and diamante embellishment on the bottom right. 

A simple stamped sentiment from LotV and a few scattered pearls and gems finished it off.

I used the following embellishments from
The Ribbon Girl:

Rose Organza Ribbon - White

Ivory White Magnolias

Ivory 30 mm Wild Roses

Ivory 20 mm Open Roses

Hip Rose Buds Cream

Small White Lily

Beaded Berries Ivory/Cream

Pearl and Crystal Branch Ivory
S/A Ivory Pearl Hearts
3 - 6 mm S/A Ivory Pearls
5 mm Clear S/A Gems

Monochrome at Deep Ocean Challenge

Good evening everyone (unless of course it's morning or afternoon when you read this lol).
Today it's time for a new theme over at Deep Ocean Challenge, and this time it's

Monochrome

So just use shades of the same colour.

I used shades of ivory on my card, from almost white through to a yellowish cream, though I have to admit that with the flowers there is of course a small amount of green on my card too, but it's still basically a monochrome card.

Now I don't know about you, but I have been inundated with requests for wedding and anniversary cards just recently, I guess it's wedding season right?
So I snapped up the opportunity to make a wedding card, this one is for a work friend's daughter who is going to a wedding in July and wanted a special card made. I hope she likes it!

Now you may have noticed recently that I have a shiny new DT badge on my blog, because I was approached by the super sweet Michele Roo to join her very talented design team for Michele R Designs. I was so happy to say yes because her papers are just stunning and totally my style :)

What I also love about Micheles paper collections (apart from the fact that being digital you can print just what you need, a real boon when you are short on space like I am!), is that most of them come with extra element sheets. I love these!

The collection that I used on my card today is
Shabby Spring Flowers
and I used the 12 x 12 papers because of the shape of the card I made.
I also used a postcard and tickets from the
Shabby Spring Flowers Elements  Pack 2

I edged everything with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I've also used the following goodies from The Ribbon Girl

Cheesecloth

15 mm Ivory Mermaid Sparkle Ribbon

50 mm Ophelia Ivory Tulle Lace

10 mm Double Row Ivory Pearl Trim

20 mm Cream Open Rose

30 mm Ivory Wild Rose

Hop Rose Bud Cream

I hope you like my card for today, do come and join us over at Deep Ocean Challenge, there's a chance at a lovely prize.

Enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! :) xx

I Do

Evening everyone, my goodness it's so warm here, I get in from work and I literally just flake out.  I have a lot of crafting I need to get done, but it's so hard to find the motivation in this heat and humidity.

Even so I managed to finish a (very rare for me to take on) commission for a wedding card.

I used Lili of the Valley's 'I Do', such a sweet image and perfect for my kind of vintage style card.

I coloured it with Distress Inks and finished off with some Glamour Dust and liquid pearls. 

Papers are Pion Design, From the Heart II. I used the new La-La Land Crafts Lattice Doily Border behind the image LOVE this die so much. You'll be able to get it at Dies to Die for soon. I popped a couple of the La-La Land Heart Doily die cuts at the top of my card. All my papers and die cuts are edged with Tea Dye Distress Ink, and papers have been distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and as always I have hand sewn them with Top Stitch thread.

I added some flowers cut with a Magnolia Die, I can't remember the name of this one at the moment, I've had it ages, and popped some flat back pearls from The Ribbon Girl in the centres. The lace which I've almost hidden is also from The Ribbon Girl.

I stamped a sentiment from Impression Obsession's Life Stuff sentiment set on the centre piece from the Heart Doily and added some more flat back pearls.

The beautiful  ribbon is Fluted Edge Sheer in Vintage Ivory from The Ribbon Girls and the gorgeous embellishment in the centre of the bow is from The Handcrafted Card Company.

I decorated the inside fairly simply with a sheet from the same collection, this has plenty of space to write a personal message to the special couple. The shape of the card is made with a Martha Stewart PAtP punch set.

I was so happy with the way this came out that I decorated the box I made for it too!

I do hope you like it and I hope the recipients enjoy it, that's all from me folks.  Don't forget I have candy on my blog that's up for grabs. Thank you all so much for visiting and leaving such lovely comments lately,  I have been a bit remiss about leaving comments recently as I've been snowed under with stuff to complete, but I will try and find some time to leave some love soon.

Take care! : ) x x
