Silver Wedding Card

This is my silver wedding card I made today for a wedding I'm attending tomorrow. I used Basic Gray for the card, layered a smaller Whisper White card stock and using my Baroque Border wheel and Going Gray ink, rolled the sides. I then used Versamark to stamp the Baroque Motif onto vellum and silver embossing powder. I also embossed the small heart with the silver powder. I stamped "happiness" in Basic Gray, punched out with the large oval punch and then "sponged" the edges, attached with glue dots. I then measured to center my eyelets, punched and set the eyelets with my Crop-a-Dile! I then pulled the ribbon through and tied into a bow. Trick for the ends: fold the ribbon in half (long ways) then snip diagonally up; this creates a perfect end every time! I then attached the Going Gray onto the Whisper White!

I put a little more work into this card than originally planned!

Yet another 3 x 3!

Played with the new bow shown in this month's Stampin' Success. I stamped the Sweet Dreams flowers in Soft Sky and then colored with the Old Olive marker to color over the stems. I used the Summer Picnic DSP to make the large part of the bow (1" x 6") and wrapped with the 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon. I used my Three For You for the greeting!

Successful Day Stampin'!

I wanted to try out the new ribbon found in the current Stampin' Success. I stamped the stems with the Sweet Dreams hostess set. I used the corner rounder to make the scallop. I punched the flowers out with the Three for You punch that comes with the punch box. I then inserted silver brads for the middle!

Another 3 x 3!

This was a really simple card - I'm demonstrating this for our Stampin' party tomorrow...

The Summer Picnic DSP is 2 x 2; I colored the cherry with Glorious Green and Real Red Markers to color the cherries.

Tart & Tangy

More 3 x 3 cards! I wanted to play with my new stamp set, Tart & Tangy and hopefully find a card to demo tomorrow.

I used the Real Red DSP (Hostess) and the corner rounder to make the scallop. I used the markers to stamp the strawberry. I then used a silver hodgepodge hardware and the designer series punch. I used craft Whisper White ink for the Three for You set!

Love Note # 4

My final love note for today - have to get to cleaning for tomorrow's Stampin' party! I started with the Very Vanilla love note, a 3 x 3 Mellow Moss card stock piece, Mellow Moss 1/4" ribbon, and silver flower slide. I cut the scallop at the bottom of the note by using my corner rounder - discovered this on Splitcoast Stampers! Link is below!

After "scalloping" my note, I adhered the ribbon with slide on the left side. I then adhered (using Tacky Tape) the mellow moss square on the back.

Using the For a Friend set, I colored (with Stampin' markers) the stem Mellow Moss and flower and "thank you" with Perfect Plum. I layered with Perfect Plum. I adhered the Very Vanilla with Stampin' Demensionals and taped the layers down.

Love Note # 3

Another Love Note!

This was fun to make - I really enjoy the colors together.

I started with the Soft Sky Love Note, stamped the stars and circles from Bundle of Joy in Soft Sky for the background. I then tied the Soft Sky Ribbon around the top, with a silver flower slide from the Hodgepodge Silver. I then made a simple tie. I then stamped the giraffed on a Whisper White card stock square and colored with the Stampin' Up colored pencils (gold & brown). After coloring, I blended with an Aqua Painter. Next, I used the Stampin' dimensionals to adhere to the Sage Shadow square. Then I stamped "sweet heart" in Sage Shadow and cut out with 1" circle punch.
