Mr. & Mrs.

Hello! Happy Monday everyone :) Today I'd like to share a card that I made for a very special couple who just got married!! Woohooo!! My hubby's friend at work got married over the weekend and this is the card that we gave to the lovely newlyweds.

I love the color combination of Vanilla, Blue and Brown so I went with this coordinating set of lovely paper and embellishments. 

And don't you just love embellishments that coordinate so well with the paper and colors? I knew I had to use this "always" sticker to go on the front of the card. It even had coordinating brads as a nice little accent.

But as I was finishing up the card, I thought... hey.... I need to stamp something! hehe. So, I grabbed a stamp set with some sentiments to send well wishes of happiness to the happily married couple.

And of course, I just HAD to make a coordinating envelope :) Gotta love the new SU envelope maker. It's so much fun!!

All you have to do is grab a coordinating piece of paper.. cut.. punch.. score.. assemble.. and there you go! You have a hand made envelope to go with your hand made card :)

And then here I go again with the coordinating stickers! I used a "Mr. & Mrs" for the front of the envelope...

   

and I used a "forever" sticker to seal the back of the envelope :)

The wedding was so beautiful, the bride was radiant and the new Mr. & Mrs. were ridiculously happy. They were so adorable!!!! 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Beveled Windowpanes

Good morning everyone!

I know it's been awhile, but as promised, here is the card I made for the swap at Nicole's downline meeting. Click here to check out the lovely tea party she had set up for us! And click here and here to check out the awesome swaps that the other ladies brought. And click here for Nicole's wonderful gift to us :)

Now for my swap, I wanted to somehow frame one of the three butterflies. I also wanted to feature an accessory, so I decided to use a beveled windowpane on the card.

The Beveled Windowpanes (121881) are not only on the retired list, but they are also included on the Discounted Retired Products list. Click here to check them out. And click here to check out other discounted retired products. I also like using them to frame little pictures in projects. I've made a shadowbox for my parents and I'll share that with you soon :) I will also be using these beveled windowpanes, which come in 3 sizes and 12 pieces to a pack, in other family tree shadowboxes. I've been commissioned to make about 5 of them! Oh boy!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day :)

For the Newlyweds

Good morning everyone!

I just LOVE weddings :) And I was so happy when my friend Camille asked me to make a wedding card for her friends who recently got married. I decided to go a little bigger than normal and created a 5x7 card. She mentioned that the colors of the wedding were purple and silver so I went with Perfect Plum and the Silver Glimmer paper. Since all I knew about the wedding were the colors, I also went with butterflies and a little bling :)

I love butterflies and I love the butterfly in the Creative Elements stamp set. Isn't it so pretty? I love the elegant doily like pattern of the butterfly. And I am a huge fan of glitter, glimmer and bling, which is why I found myself reaching for the Silver Glimmer paper and the Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Here is what I used to make the card:

Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Silver Glimmer Paper (124005)

Perfect Plum Classic Stampin' Pad (101437)

Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402)

Creative Elements Stamp Set (Clear 122647, Wood 122645)

Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set (115370)

Basic Rhinestones Jewels (119246)
