Wedding Gift

 

You may have noticed that I like to work with wooden trays a little bit :)  This one is wedding themed and the openings are made for artist trading cards or at least that size of whatever you put into it. 

 

There are lots of different elements and stamp sets used on the project, many of which are in the Occasions catalog (remember you can only order from it until May 31st!).

 

The card uses Celebrate with us and Hearts a Flutter stamp sets, along with some Naturals composition specialty paper and Fancy foil Vellum paper.

 

I decorated the inside similar to the envelope...

 

Here are some close ups of the tray openings - these simply pressed clay flowers were sponged with Coastal Cabana ink after they were dry.

 

You will see some Everything Eleanor images along with Best of Love, Perfect Couple and Celebrate with us.

 

More of the Fancy Foil Vellum and 1/8" silver ribbon...

 

 

 

It doesn't want to show up in the pictures, but I stamped flower images on the Basic Black card stock using the Illuminations Glimmer watermark ink.

 

The large heart was stamped with Craft white ink and then cut out with the Hearts a flutter framelits...

 

The tray doesn't have a specific destination just yet, but I am sure I will find the need for a wedding gift this summer!

Happy Heart Day

 

Another card in honor of Valentine's Day today, this one being a stamp a stack card I had in rotation the last two months.  

 

I used the Hearts a Flutter stamp set for the hearts in the background and the Tags 4 You set for the sentiment.

 

There is some Watercolor Wonder designer washi tape thrown in for fun as well.

Perfectly You

The hostess stamp sets in the back of the Holiday catalog are great, but I haven't seemed to use them much so I decided to put together a few cards using the Perfectly You set to share with you today.

 



 

I paired it with the Hearts a Flutter bundle and the Chevron border punch.

 

Supplies:

Hearts a Flutter, Perfectly You

Very Vanilla, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Soft Suede card stock

I have combine a few different stamp sets for this card that could be used for a wedding or anniversary.

 

In the background I have used some hearts from the Hearts A Flutter set and over that, the Positively Chevron background stamp.  My sentiment comes from the Loving Thoughts set and is stamped in Real Red ink.

 

Supplies:

Hearts a Flutter

Loving Thoughts

Positively Chevron

Real Red, Basic Black and Very Vanilla card stock

I found time to play along with Mary Jo's sketch challenge again, hopefully I can make it a consistent thing again!

 

 

I used the Heart a Flutter, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Affection Collection stamp sets and some More Amore specialty paper.

 

The scalloped circle is die cut from the Perfect Pennants die and the strip of dsp along the bottom is cut from the Petal Cone die.  The circle is from the 1 3/4" circle punch.

 

I made mine into an anniversary card since I need one today - 15 years for my husband and I!  Originally I was planning to use Primrose Petals as my card base color, but thought Basic Gray might be a little bit more masculine :)

In my thoughts

 

I did some playing around with this sentiment from Word Play and the More Amore designer series paper.  Tomorrow I will show you a couple other cards that are similar, but just a little bit different.

 

 

I used the Apothecary Accents framelits to make the piece my sentiment is stamped on and then used the Needlepoint Border folder above and below the sentiment.

 

 

The flags are from the Hearts a Flutter framelits and I put a little linen thread behind them.  Some Victoria crochet trim and part of the Artisan Embellishments kit top it off.

January Stamp Club projects

 

I wanted to use a lot of new products for my January Stamp Club projects and this is what I came up with.

 

 

The first card uses both the Honeycomb folder and the Cloudy Day folder along with some More Amour specialty paper.

 

For the second card, I CASED one in the mini catalog with a few changes using the Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp and the Cuddles and Kisses stamp set.

 

For the layout, I chose to use the Tea for Two dsp and the Hearts a Flutter framelits.

Love you

 

Paper stacks are so much fun to play with!  I used a little piece from the Print Poetry dsp stack on this card along with the Hearts a flutter bundle.

 

 

The ribbon is from the Artisan Embellishment kit and I added a delicate doily behind the hearts.
