Best Wishes for the Mr and Mrs

Hi folks!

Just popping in on this scorcher of a Canada Day to share a card I made for friends of ours who recently got married.

The arrival of my (sob) last order from Verve (they are shuttering their operations) coincided with the happy occasion so I was able to use these lovely freebie papers with a stamp from one of the sets I purchased.

It's fairly clean and simple so I jazzed it up a bit with a gold heart clip from CTMH.

Happily Ever After

Hi folks,

Today I'm sharing a wedding card I made for my cousin's daughter. Boy, I'm feeling old. Another one of the next generation getting hitched - today!

I took my inspiration for this card from pg. 40 of the CTMH Annual Inspirations Idea Book.

card details:

• finished size: 6 x 6 inches, CTMH Whisper card stock base, CTMH Glacier card stock mat
• patterned paper: CTMH Whimsy Fundamentals (Glacier Love)
• stamp: CTMH Wedding Wishes (B1547)
• embellishments: Stuck on You Puffies

As always, thanks for stopping by!

For a Bridal Shower

Hi folks,

Today I had the joy of attending a bridal shower. A happy occasion to be sure! This is the card I made for the bride-to-be.

card details:

• finished size: 6 x 6 inches, black card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH La Vie En Rose
• stamp sets: CTMH "Springtime Wishes", "Shower Flowers"
• Cuttlebug die cut (corset), Cuttlebug embossing folder (brocade), Spellbinders Classic Hearts die cut
• embellishments: lace ribbon, sparkly twine, adhesive gems

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Forever & Always

Hi folks,

As some of you may know, I have just returned from a quick little visit to Newfoundland where I took part in my brother's wedding.

Today, I am sharing the card I made for him and his new bride in order to celebrate the happy occasion - yep, that's ANOTHER one to add to the list of October events in my celebrations calendar! It's getting quite crowded in there now!!! Might be time to make a new perpetual calendar!

Anyways, here is their card - in their wedding colours. Black and hot pink.

Funny thing with this card is that I STARTED out with the Mojo Monday 273 sketch (from LAST year) - but it didn't wind up that way. I wound up just winging it because of the size of the image, the sentiment and size of card I wanted to make.

card details:

• finished size: 6x6, textured Bazzill black card stock base
• patterned papers: My Mind's Eye
• stamped image: Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps "Mr and Mrs", coloured with Copic Markers (E000, E00, E01, E93, C0, C1, C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, RV66, E23, E25, E27) with a little sparkle from my Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Star to outline her veil.
• black satin ribbon, sheer white ribbon and self-adhesive gems from my stash

challenges for this card:

• Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenge #29: Anything Goes
• Creatalicious Challenges #56: Wedding Day

As always, thanks for stopping by! 

Viva La Verve - August Week 2

Hi folks,


I managed to grab an hour in the craft room this weekend to play along with the Viva La Verve August Week 2 Sketch challenge over on Splitcoaststampers (and yes, if you are keeping track I have not yet had a chance to do my card for the Week 1 Sketch).

Here's the sketch:

And here is my card (I thought the sketch was perfect for a wedding card for my next door neighbour's daughter):

card details:

• finished size: 5x5 inches, white card stock base, black and deep red card stock mats
• patterned paper: Bo Bunny "Enchanted"
• stamps: Verve "Love Story"
• dies: Verve "Lovely Marquee", Verve "From the Heart", Spellbinders "Classic Rectangles"
• adhesive gems from my stash (for anyone local, I got them from Pritchard Packaging for what I think was an awesome price. And yes, I bought a LOT of them - in every size they had.)

additional challenges for this card:

• Cute Card Thursday #281: Die-ing to Punch
• Sister Act Card Challenge #19: Anything Goes
• Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes

As always, thanks for stopping by!
