Pink Daisies for a Wedding

Today, I’m sharing a card I’ve made for a friend to give at a wedding.  This friend will be getting married herself soon….so she’d best find her inner-crafter soon.  We have invitations to make :-)

I’ve tried to use the colours and style of the invitation they received:

This is what I’ve made.

It’s very similar to one that I’ve made recently for another friend (you’ll find a link to a tutorial here), but obviously this is in the colours of the wedding.   Here’s a side view:

I’ve embossed the side panels and added a computer-generated greeting with the names of the lucky couple to personalise it.  I’ve made the flowers using the Sizzix Daisies die available from Stampin’ Up and the lovely bright Melon Mambo.  I’ve added a pearl to the centre…it is for a wedding after all.  Here’s a close up of the detail:

I’m going to enter this in the following challenges:

Dies to Die for….

A very quick post today…..another day full of appointments so I’m in a rush…..can’t remember the last time I wasn’t in a rush! LOL!
I’ve gone with another christmas card…..it’s an obsession like the butterflies all over again!   I’ve used Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler with the Jolly Holiday DSP to make this simple design. 


I’ve stamped the image and sentiment from Contempo Christmas stamp set and edged it in cherry cobbler to give it a “vintage” look . 






I've used  Sizzix Daisies and Little Leaves from Stampin’ Up to create the flowers and added a button centre.  I’ve been die-ing to use my new Sweet Buttons embosslit! 
Finally I’ve blinged the image, glossed the buttons and added a little twine bow to finish it off! 
So I hope you like it.  I’m entering this card in the  Papertake Weekly challenge this week where you have to use dies.

Patchwork Card

Afternoon! 

This is turning out to be a blue week in more ways than one!! Oooer...I'd better clarify that quickly!! LOL!
Well, not only have I been considering blue cards for the latest Less is More Challenge, work is also a bit blue this week as all my girl friends are ill and working at home!! *sob* .  Makes for a very dull week at work!!

Anyhow....I've had a go at a patchwork card today. 

I've used squares of DSP papers Baja Breeze, Marina Mist and Tempting Turquoise.  I've inked the edges with Night of Navy and stuck them to the front of 15cm square card.  I've added a greeting (from Stampin' Up's Party This Way) and finally embellished it with a Daisy cut using the Flowers, Daisies #2 die from Stampin' Up!  This is available in the Mini catalogue until September.

So it is very blue, and (IMHO) very simple.  I'm entering this in the following challenges:
The Paper Shelter (Anything Goes)
2 Sisters Challenge Blog (Birthdays)
Crafts & Me (Birthdays)
Less is More (Shades of Blue - although after a recent comment, I'm thinking this is probably NAS* and not CAS)

Hope to see you tomorrow!
