Another Wedding Card

Wedding season is here and my friend asked me to make a card for her. This was really fun because the colors of the wedding motif were bright yellows and oranges - very different from what I'm usally used to so it was a good challenge for me.


I did lots of the resist emboss technique - which I love, right now. I used yellow and orange ink in random spots. Then wet embossed with a clear embossing powder and a Hero Arts leaf background stamp. I used a script background stamp and edged the sides with brown ink. Then I matted the whole background with canary cardstock and wrapped with an orange ribbon.  The heart on the cake was outlined with Diamond Dust - I love this stuff!

I decided to decorate the envelope in the front and back for the added touch. It's the same design as on the cake to tie it all together. I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Birthday, Louise

Happy Birthday, Louise! Here's a card I made for Louise. My theme was Paris since she was there recently for a vacation. I used a toile background stamp using the resist emboss technique...Again!! I also used a Stampin' Up French Script stamp and the Stampin' Up Bird Punch - love it!


Here's a gift tag I made for Louise. I used a Tim Holtz Eiffel Tower Stamp and the Stampin' Up French Script stamp. Part of my gift to is to help her take her photos and emphemera from her trip and make a wall hanging for her office. I'll be sure to post pictures of that when it's complete. Ever notice that using rafia on anything makes it sooo much more appealing!?!?

Happy Birthday, Aida

Here's a card I made for Aida's birthday. I used the resist emboss technique that I'm totally lovin' at the moment. I also used the aged music sheet background stamp which I've been using lots lately. Who needs to buy paper when you can create your own - LOVE it!!

Here's a close up: You can see the resist emoboss of the smaller butterflies in the corners.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I made this card for Mama and she loved it! When I gave it to her she said, "This is really nice - so you are using the stuff you buy!" Gotta love her to bits :).

Here's a close up of the card: I used my homemade flowers again!! I'm in love with the resist emboss technique. I used a giant Damask stamp and music sheet stamp....I loved how it turned out.

I've Been Busy......

Hi Kids! It's been awhile....a long while but I still have time to create. Here are some of the projects I've created in the past couple of months. Above is a Birthday card I made for one of my friends. Homemade flowers are huge so I made my own version by adding irridescent dimensional paint and crumpling them up after they dry. I love love love the effect. I did the same with the leaves. I also used my Stampin' Up Bird Punch...you'll be seeing alot of this in my projects.
