Wedded Bliss





Hello my crafty friends,

Hope all of you are doing well.  I know I haven't posted much but still busy in the yard.  Winter is long here so want to get as much outside time in before the cold and snow.

Today I have a wedding card that I created for our nephew and his bride.  It was a beautiful wedding (in spite of all the rain) very emotional but full of love.  

My card today is a 5' X 7"

Card base is burgundy cardstock (one of the colors in the wedding).

Mat 1 is white glittered cardstock cut using an old Spellbinder die S-005  5" X 7" Elegant Labels 4 largest die and adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.  Second mat was using same die set but next to largest die and white cardstock attached to card front using dimensional tape.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden has a new release called Birds & Bees which I have used for my floral arrangement.  I chose the Pom Pom Dahlia S4-1317  cut from Susan's Specialty Paper, colored, shaped with Susan's Ultimate Tool Kit and assembled using Kids Choice Glue.  Susan has a YouTube Video for creating these wonderful flowers which you can find here.

Foliage is from the Autumn Foliage S4-1320 in the Birds & Bees Collection and Susan has a video to create these found here.  

Berry Branch is from Autumn Flora Collection Foliage & Ladybug S4-1079 and I used the Styrofoam balls for the berries.

Floral bouquet was arranged on card front and attached using Kids Choice Glue.

Sentiment is an old Close to My Heart stamp set that I stamped in black ink onto white cardstock and die cut.  It was attached using dimensional tape and half pearls were attached on each end.

For the inside I used the same die set to cut white piece stamped it in black ink using another old Close to My Heart stamp set.  Attached to card using Bearly Art Glue.

I hope that this has inspired you to make your own card.  This card can be used for many different occasions by just changing sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Christine

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective paper covering adhesive

Family Birthday Cards

Welcome my crafty friends! Today I have a couple birthday cards I did for our grandson and my hubby.  Our grandson and hubby share their birthday - grandson was best birthday gift ever. Our grandson turned 18 and he loves to fish he has a boat and fishes when he is not working.  Hubby turned 79 and loves his John Deere tractor.   Cards are both 6" X 6" and I used a combination of dies and Cricut to make my cards. The pop up mechanism was same for both it was an old die set of Karen Burniston when she was with Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bathtub Pop Up.  Another time I would reshape the bathtub into a boat but I had already hand cut the boat then went looking for a die set that had a pop up mechanism to use kind of like putting the cart before the horse. KB Riley  1003  Word 2 Birthday, 1031 Numbers and 1049 Camping Charms  were used.  The fisherman, fish and the silhouette of boat and fisherman were cut on Cricut.  Hooked On Fishing was  cut from a top strip of design paper fro

  Hello my crafty friends! Another Breast Cancer Survivor card that I created in October.  Once again I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Sunflower, Acacia and Berry Branch and for this card Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame die set. My card base is 5" X 7" made from 100# white cardstock.  Embossed layer is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" white cardstock.  I used a swiss dot embossing folder (it is an old 8-1/2" X 11" embossing folder - I have used it so much it is taped together now).  This piece was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive .  Using the Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame 2  largest dies I cut 1 from pink cardstock adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.   I printed sentiment on white cardstock then die cut using the next 2 dies from Lisette die set then attached to card front using dimensional tape. Susan's Garden Sunflower S4-1177 from Garden Favorites Release was cut from Susan's Specialty
