Wedding couple

Here's a quick wedding card, using Lili of the Valley's Wedding Couple stamp...

I coloured the image with Promarkers, then fussy cut it out.
The papers used are both from Lawn Fawn, but different pads; Let's Polka in the Meadow, and Pint-sized Patters (Beachside).
I've used the 'Mr & Mrs' die, which is from Sara Davies' Signature Collection, Together Forever.
The pretty wavy border is a Marianne border die (wave).
I finished the card with punched flowers (SU's boho blossoms) which have silver flat back pearls added the centre of each one.

I Love Promarkers - monochrome

Wedding shaker card.

A wedding shaker card

After making the top layer, I cut out a large heart and edged it with a scalloped heart frame.
I glued some clear acetate to the back of this, then glued foam up to & around the outside edges of this heart to create the shaker section in the middle. I die cut a couple of Heart of Hearts so that I could use the smaller pieces in the shaker along with some teeny stars too. I glued the patterned paper to this to enclose the shaker element, then glued the whole piece to a card blank. I finished by gluing 'Mr & Mrs' to the clear window.

Supplies:
'Decadent Damask' embossing folder and 'Mr & Mrs' die - Sara Davies' Signature Collection, Together Forever.
Patterned papers - Raspberry Road Designs (Mr & Mrs set).
Scalloped heart die - Marianne die CR1225
'shaker' hearts - Impression Obsession 'Heart of Hearts' die.
Teeny acetate sequin stars.

I'd like to enter this card at:
Simon Says Stamp (wednesday challenge)- it's hip to be square
Die Cuttin Divas - anything goes
As You Like It - favourite card base and why : 6" square card base, because it's a good size card and I can get 2 cards out of one sheet of 12x12 card stock.

Save

Wedding roses.

This wedding card was made for my friend who got married last Friday..

I stamped and fussy cut my flowers using Vintage Roses by Altenew.
I added extra foliage with a fern leaf punch.
The rose patterned paper is from a collection by Nitwit called 'Always & Forever'.
The embossed piece and 'Mr & Mrs' die are from the same Signature collection, Together Forever by Sara Davies.

A day to remember

Today is our daughter & new son-in-law's wedding day! :)

I wanted to keep to a CAS theme so that this beautiful Heart of Hearts die by Impression Obsession could really stand out.

I have added a verse to the inside, i've no idea who wrote it though, so I can't give credit where it's due...

Plan together for the future
but don't forget to live today
Enjoy each precious moment
of your journey on the way

Snuggle close when storm clouds gather
Love will overcome all fears
Build a picture book of happiness
to add to through the years

Fill your lives with special memories
that are made along the way
Always remember to take time
to say "I love you" every day

Enjoy a happy life together
Have fun and laughter too
For that's the very special wish
That we send to both of you

Lovely verse isn't it?

Here's a photo of the cake I have made for them:

Cake: top tier is red velvet, bottom tier is chocolate.

Congratulations Laura & Rich xx

Love is...

Hello friends!
It's the weekend, and time for another Sketch Saturday challenge!

We're sponsored by our friends at Simon Says Stamp this week :)

You could enjoy a whopping $25 shopping spree at their amazing online store if you are our lucky winner this week.

This is my card, I flipped the sketch...

The image of course is 'Wedding Couple' by Lili of the Valley, coloured with my promarkers.

The gorgeous papers were a prize I won just before Christmas on the Sketchy Colors challenge blog. My prize was some yummy 12x12 papers from the Norwegian company 3ndypapir, this collection of double-sided papers is called White Christmas 2011, the top piece is called 'Juleglede', the bottom piece is called 'Julekveld'. The papers in the collection do have a christmas theme, but these 2 weren't screaming out christmassy to me, and I thought they'd look fab on a wedding card.

The sentiment is from Create with TLC, although I split the sentence beneath the 'Love is' bit from one long sentence so that I could fit it onto a circle.

The flowers and leaves were made using punches and adding a crystal to the centre of each flower.

For more beautiful inspiration please go visit the Saturday Girls and our talented GD for February Liesbeth, there's a lovely mix of styles and themes using this weeks sketch,  yes it is a little more challenging than most sketches I make, but I knew these girls would make some stunning examples for you, go see for yourself, they are sure to inspire you to join in our challenge this week.

Lexi's Creations - Love
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (with an optional love theme)

Flashback Friday challenge

This is unheard of for me, 3 posts in one day! :)

I visited Faye's blog earlier today and saw the beautiful wedding card that she made for a sweet stampin challenge last year.
She posted it for Flashback Friday, who want to see our first wedding cards.
So I thought i'd play along too :)

This card was made for my cousins wedding back in August 2009...

oooh, I used the same paisley embossing folder as I have today on my spacehopper card.

I also made a photo album too...

Hmmm I wonder why I didn't have them matching? if i was making this today, I would use the same papers/colours as I did on the card.


off subject, Jake has made apple and cinnamon muffins at school today *YUM!* i've tasted one already, deeeeelish!, think I need to taste test another...

my cousins wedding card

I have made this card for my cousins wedding, I used Stampin Up 'basic gray' cardstock, added 2 circles cut with my coluzzle, the white piece was stamped with a stamp from my 'pocket silhouettes' stamp set (also SU), the pink dotty piece is from Paper Cellar's 'Wedding' collection.
The 2 hearts and the 2 scalloped border hearts beneath them were cut from my cricut (before I decided to sell it), the 2 top hearts were embossed using cuttlebug's paisley folder, then lightly inked around the edges with 'pretty in pink' SU ink.
The ribbon, heart pearls and heart pins are from my stash.



UPDATE 12.08.09
and here is the gift I have made for them...




A post bound photo album, with cello bags to house the photos (because I couldn't find 6x4" page protectors)
