Wedding / Engagement cards..
One of the guys from work asked if I could create a ’stylish’ wedding card’ for his friend’s wedding. He said they have a butterfly theme, so I thought I’d try and incorporate a butterfly. The ’swirl’ is from Baroque Motifs ($39.95), the butterfly is a stamp from the current mini catalogue. Colours are black and gold metallic. I have also used gold embossing powder. I love the raised effect that embossing gives.
The second card is very similiar. Here I’ve used the ‘cake’ out of ‘Fun and Fast Notes’ ($58.95). It is one of the many stamp sets that you receive if you join as a demonstrator. The ‘now and forever’ is out of “occasional greetings” ($60.95).
The third one is quite similar to the others. It’s using the baroque motifs, and butterfly stamps as described above, plus I have used a definition stamp from “Lifes Definitions” ($90.95). This looks great ebossed too!! The Life’s Definitions stamp set has lots of special words and their definition. Great for scrapbooking, and cardmaking alike! The black ribbon is from a special ribbon pack called “Ribbon Originals” ($24.95). The gold cord is a retired product which is no longer available.
More Xmas cards!
This idea has been in my head for a while.. tonight I finally put it together. Not sure if it’s as good as I imagined.. but I think it’s ok. Firstly I silver embossed a number of swirly images, then I cut them out using the 1 3/8″ circle punch. I used a 3/4″ circle stamp and then folded the punched circles in half to make the top of each bauble. The ribbon is linen thread. Colours: pure pomegrante, handsome hunter, black, whisper white and vanilla.
