Fairytale Wedding Card

 Hello Everyone!

Today, I would like to share a wedding second card I made using elements from the invitations.  The cards were made for my bff, Sandie. And it was her idea to use the bits and pieces from the invitations.  See the first card here.  

Take a look at the card.

The shower invite had a castle and a fairytale theme.  So, I did just happen to have a cute castle stamp and die from My Favorite Things Stamps.  The wedding invite had printed flowers on a woodgrain paper. The flowers were blue and white.  I reproduced the look with a Stampin' Up stamp and die. The bottom corner of the wedding invite had a printed doily.  To reproduce that look I added a paper doily accented with a beaded bridal trim.

I also added bridal tulle and some single pearls on left side of the card.

Inside of the card. Another group of flowers and a fairytale theme sentiment were added to the inside. 

The wedding is in two weeks.  Hopefully the bride and groom will love the personalized wedding card.

See you again soon!!

Butterfly Wedding Card

 Hello Everyone!

I am back after a pretty long break.  I had to get a new laptop and then needed new photo editing software. Not liking the software as much as the older version. Doesn't seem to correct the color of the background as well and the light levels are harder to adjust.  Sad.

But here I am back with a butterfly wedding card. I have made a couple wedding cards this summer and my bff, Sandie, asked me to use elements from the invitations on the wedding card.  I have to say I love the idea and made a second card for a second wedding Sandie is attending this month.  I will also post the second card in the next post.

Take a look at the card and I will explain what elements from the invitations I used and how they were used. 

The background of the card (the small floral print) was the paper the invitation was printed on.  The information was on the back of this paper.  The wax seal was on the original invite and I used it here as a lovely embellishment.  I incorporated the same colors into this card as were used on the invites. The butterfly theme was used in the shower invite.  The bride had included a paper butterfly studded with wildflower seeds.  

I retained the arch on the top of the printed paper and extenuated it with the die cut leaf sprays. 

 

This is what the inside looks like.  I used a small strip of the paper from the invite on the inside too.

The wedding was two weeks ago. The bride and groom loved the card and picked up on the fact that I used elements from the invites.  So, a success all around!!  

Check back for the next post which will showcase the second wedding card I made using elements from the invites.

Hope you are having a great day!!  See you next time.

The cake was colored with Copic markers and die cut.  The background is a decorative paper.  I added a paper doily, tulle, ribbon, a floral pick, and a sentiment.

Wreath Die Cut Cards

 Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share a few cards that were made using a die cut wreath.  On the first card I distressed the wreath with green ink. The second card has a dry embossed background. 

The first card has a decorative paper background.

The second card has a dry embossed background.

That is the last group of cards that I made using the Natures prints stamp set.  Really had fun with this set and enjoyed working with all the different images and die cut shapes. 

See you next time!!

Foliage Cards

 Hello Everyone,

Back today with more cards to share using the Natures Prints stamp set (Stampin' Up).  I stamped in different ink colors and die cut some of the images.  I layered the images onto decorative paper or dry embossed backgrounds.

Some die cut gold shapes were added to the last two cards.  

So glad you stopped by today!  See you next time!!

Fern and Foliage Cards

 Hello Everyone!

I am back today with a few more cards.  The cards were made for a card drive. You can find info on the card drive on the Winter Wonderland blog. 

The stamps used in the cards are from a gorgeous stamp set called Natures Prints (Stampin' Up).

I made quite a few cards with this stamp set.  It has so much scope that I could not stop........

Here are two that I made using the fern image as the focal point.  The first card has collage type decorative paper that I stamped on with other stamps in the set. I also did a little bit of distressing with Distress ink.

On the second card, I started with cream cardstock and repeatedly stamped the fern and that paint spot looking image. I also stamped and die cut two fern fonds and added those to the stamped background.

I just love this stamp set and I made lots of cards with it. I will be sharing more of the cards in future posts.  See you next time!

Simple and Easy Cards

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to share a card design that is very quick and easy to make. And fun.  The vibrant colored papers, large sentiment, and pretty ribbon make a big statement.

The cards were made for the Cards from the Heart card drive.  I made 16 of the cards and just a couple are shown below.

This card is also a great design to use all those odds and ends of decorative papers you have in your stash.

Happy you stopped by today. See you next time for more crafty card projects.
