A Happy Couple

Hi there!

Well, here is the last of the wedding cards for now...I love getting these commissions...to know that is years to come the happy couple will look through their memory box from their wedding and find this card again...I hope they love it!

This one is, again, using some of the retired products, but although they are retired, they are definitely not out of date!

An Elegant Wedding

Hello again!

As promised, here is another wedding commission...

That stunningly elegant paper is from the new Modern Medley Designer Series paper collection...isn't it beautiful?

This is a very quick post for today as I am going out for the day. I hope you have a lovely Thursday!

Marry Me...In Spain!

Here is another commissioned wedding card that has been winging it's way to very sunny Barcelona for a couple who got married on Saturday...I think it is now safe to post a picture!

I have used my favourite wedding stamp set, Marry Me...I wish it hadn't retired! I also used some of the retired Designer Series paper too and the Elegant Lines EF...Why do good things have to go?!

I did use some current products too though! Adorning Accents Border EF and the sentiment is cut using one of the Framelits from the Apothecary Accents collection.

As usual, I made a personalised box for the card too...it's a nice finishing touch :)

A Wedding Card off to Germany!

As you will know, if you are a regular reader of my waffle, I have had quite a lot of cards on order recently, in particular wedding cards. In fact I was working on one last night too and here it is...

Sadly, apart from the Labels Collection Framelits I used for the main panel and the Adorning Accents Edgelit I used, the rest of the Stampin' Up! products I have used are now retired. I really wish I had got more of this Designer Series Paper. It just goes to show, if you like something, stock up on it cos when it's gone, it's gone! 

This card will be heading off to Germany today...I get orders from all over the place! :)

Hello!
Here is another one of the commission cards I've been working on...

This is almost entirely made from retired SU! products....I bet you have some that need using up too? The only current item is the Apothecary Accent Framelit I used to cut the sentiment!

A short and sweet post from me today...I hope to be somewhat back to normal next week!

A Purple Wedding

Good evening!

I know I'm later than usual with my post today but I literally have not stopped all day! 

I have the card I made for the happy couple at yesterday's wedding...

When I was handed the invitation for Richard and Andrea's wedding it was wrapped with the beautiful purple ribbon you see on the card. I decided to use it as the base for their card and teamed it with Perfect Plum Designer Series Paper. For the embossed panel I used the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.

I used the very simple layout from Seems a Little Sketchy for my card as I thought it was nice and elegant.

I finished the card with a few gems and die cut initials. 

Supplies

Designer Series Paper - Subtles

Stamp - Marry Me

Ink - Basic Black

Marry Me

Good morning!

I'm off for a week, but how much crafting I'll get done is debatable  as I have Keiran to entertain too! But he has allowed me half an hour in my craft room while he's playing in his bedroom, so I have made the most of it!

Here is what I have made...

Wedding season is approaching so I need to stock up! I have used Marry Me and stamped it in basic black.

I then used my Simply Scored tool to score around my panel for a little extra interest and finished with a few little gems for obligatory wedding sparkle!

Supplies
Cardstock - Whisper White
Stamp - Marry Me
Ink - Basic Black
Tools - Simply Scored

White on White Wedding

Hello everyone! 

Fed up of the snow yet? Hope not...we're due to have more tomorrow! :))

Well all this white around appears to really be inspiring me! I have another white on white card for you today :)

The card is A5 in size with a side fold. The image is from Marry Me and I stamped it with my Basic Gray Stampin' Write marker pen.

 close up of the sentiment and pearls...isn't it lovely?

I really love this stamp set as it is so elegant, and the sentiments are just lovely.
