Sugar Nellie Funky Kits Wedding Card in Ivory and Burgundy

Hi everyone, hope this finds you well. Some terrible things happening in the world over the last few hours :(  All those people, relatives, loved ones, families - we are thinking about them and they are in our prayers.

Onto today's card share then, another wedding one (well you will be seeing a bit more Christmas but in the meantime I am getting up to date with some projects I meant to post)

Used the EK success flourish punch again on this one..

I had included more information about what was used in an earlier post where I shared this card in a different colour, but if you need any help with products etc just leave me a comment :)

I have been playing with new graphics software over the last few weeks, hence the scarce posts, and I will share what I have made soon, am sure you will like it - after a mixture of what were frustrating times and eureka / light bulb moments, I am now getting to grips with it and its LOADS of fun and great for anyone creative - more uses for all those digi papers and images !!

Civil Partnership and Doily Dresses!

Hi everyone from a much brighter day today - the rain is holding off for a bit so the sunshine is out here for a little while :)  I love this time of year and the colours of the leaves, but the light makes for a hard time taking photos of my crafty makes, even during the daytime. 

I grabbed a bit of sunshine when I took photos for this card so the texture of the card came out well!

this is the first Civil Partnership card I had to make and I saw the idea for the doily dresses ages ago, had never tried them and decided I just HAD to make them!  I used an XCut doily die, parchment paper and used the tutorial found HERE 

Some more photos showing the bunting - the bakers twine was threaded through each little 'flag'

To make the top bodice part of the dress, I used two spellbinders oval dies side by side and cut through a layer of white card and parchment (the parchment had already been put through the doily die) and then a spellbinders heart shaped die to cut the top neckline shape.

Ribbon and pearls to finish the dresses...

Love the light feel of the parchment paper.

Thanks for stopping by, hope this card inspires you to tackle a more challenging marriage card yourself!

Cerise Pink for the same couple - Lili of the Valley and Stamping Bella Uptown Girls images

Happy Friday everyone. Popping in to share a couple of pink cards - if you don't like pink, please look away now LOL!

 

I used a LOTV image for one and a Stamping Bella image for the other.

Lots of dots on this one, stencilling using the dies and hand made frilly flowers.

For the Second card I used a partial embossing technique. In a rush to photograph this one so hope you can see where the folder 'didn't' emboss over the image. I made my own template and adjusted the embossing sandwich in the machine.

Some more partial embossing inside the card.

Haven't used tinkling bells for a while so added some of those and a lacy spellbinders oval die.

This is the best photo for you to see the partial embossing around the image.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by and if you like, leave me a comment to let me know what you think of these two wedding cards.

Rework of an old baby pink Wedding Design - LOTV Wedding Stamp

Funny isn't it, how you look at an older version of a card that everyone likes, but STILL find ways to improve?! So that's what I did here, just a small change but I spread the flowers out a bit and added larger leaf flourishes

Love the simplicity of this card, It really shows off the image really well.

Close up view of the debossing.

Navy White and Silver Sugar Nallie themed Wedding card

Another Sugar Nellie card to share similar to a previous post, but this time in royal blue, white and a hint of silver

The daisies are made with EK success daisy punches - mental note: when these eventually wear out I need to find replacement dies the same shape!!

only a little colouring was required on this image and a close up of the embossing and layers shown below

Pastel Wedding Cards

Yes I have been awol for a long time again, sorry about that blog readers, but I have been busy with a number of wedding cards and others.

So two more to share then - pastel coloured ones using different colours and the same design.

 

I love this LOTV stamp and have used it again this week - I can't think of a year when I haven't used it!

  

Large Graduation Card

Hi everyone, a new post with a change from weddings this time. 

Very happy with the way it turned out, being that the only pre - made stuff I used was a tassel and printed card candi - all the rest is from basics, ribbon, card, die cuts, ink and embossing techniques..

So the colour scheme is a classic one for a graduation card and I loved making the mortar board using bits of die cuts, a pair of scissors and a ruler and scalpel until I was happy with the shape.

A chance to use an embossing folder which was still in its packaging - yayy!!

I partially embossed the inside of the card and yes its a large 7 and 3/4 inch card.

Some close up photographs- many attempts at getting a photograph to show the black embossed card!

The mortar board was layered using different thicknesses of foam pads and a bit of tweaking here and there.....

the little scroll was made using white card, cutting the edge roughly with scissors and tying some 3mm ribbon around it.

Me To You Bears' Confirmation Card

Popping in with a really girly Me To You / Tatty Teddy Confirmation card. This is a larger version of an older square 6x6 design card, which I also changed to suit the occasion, still retaining the colour scheme and the crochet doily die cuts from My Favourite Things.

Box decorated to match the card..

The card is a portrait A5 size easel card..

Clean lines and fresh colours - lemon, dove grey, mint green and lots of white with a splash of cerise pink.

You cant help but love Tatty Teddy, can you.  Hope you had a great day Emily :)
