Convention 2013 - Blig Swap 1

Inspiration for this card came from Dawn and Friends.  It is a very elegant and eye catching card.  Everyone I show it to  ooohs and aaahs over it.  The tray is made from the Scallop Border Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch and a rectangle I cut out with scissors.  The ribbon on this card is a sneak peak from the up coming Holiday Mini.  Just love that shimmer and sparkle!

Wedding Card

My mom had a Wedding Shower last weekend and she asked me to make a card for her.  I immediately went to this design.  I just LOVE it!  The Bride's colors are gray, black, and white so that is what I used for the card.  I don't normally post (or make) cards with retired material but I did here.  You can really use this design with anything.  I have to admit that I am VERY sad that my Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit is retiring and that will be one of the very few retired items I will keep.

Some explanation.  The Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit is layered with the Full Heart Punch.  For the tux, I just punch a Full Heart out of Basic Black and then use scissors to cut out the middle.  For the white in the hearts I used the retired wedding designer paper but you could use regular white.  For the design you could just stamp any swirly stamp with Versamark and get the same effect.  If I had gray ribbon I would have used that for the grooms bow, but I didn't.  I did Demensional the bride because otherwise it would not have laid flat over the groom.

Stamp Set(s) - Loving Thoughts
Card Stock - Whisper White, Basic Gray, Basic Black, retired wedding DS
Ink - Basic Black
Accessories -Basic Pearls, Big Shot, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit, Full Heart Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, ribbon

Wedding Card Making Day

Recently I got together with some friends to make up Wedding Invitations and matching Thank Yous.  They called it the Drink and Cut.  We had wine/beer, cut and prepped everything to put together the wedding invitations and thank yous.  It was such a great time!

They choose Lucky Limeaide and Early Espresso as they matched the colors best.   It is a wedding on the beach so they picked out a couple of shell stamps at the local store.  The cards are just PERFECT!

Wedding Card

I was in need of a wedding card for a wedding coming up.  I saw this one a while ago.  I changed some things up.  I used Elegant Eggplant to match one of the colors from there wedding.  I used Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts and Full Heart Punch.  It is hard to tell from the picture; however, the white of the hearts is made from the Presto Patterns Specialty DS Paper.  I stamped the script Love from the retired set Wonderful Words at the bottom.

Since Elegant Eggplant is so dark I put Whisper White on the inside.  In Elegant Eggplant I stamped Together Forever from the Together Forever stamp set and a heart from Simply Said.  Overall, I think it came out just beautiful, I cant wait to give it to them...now to figure out a gift ;)
