Cheers - on your Anniversary

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week. Today is my Son and Daughter-in-law's 1st wedding Anniversary. I can not believe that they have been married a year already! it has absolutely flown by. 

Anyway, this is one of the cards that I made for the family to send to them. They are away in Lisbon at the moment so I really hope they have a fabulous day. 

I combined a couple of Clearly Besotted stamp sets for this one, I used the Raise A Glass Additions and the Mr and Mrs sets.

I stamped the corner stamp from the Mr and Mrs set using New Sprout and Cottage Ivy Memento Inks and then stamped the glasses with Galaxy Gold and Pearlescent Crimson Dew Drop inks. Then I heat embossed the glasses with clear embossing powder. 

I used a Spellbinders Adorning Square die to cut the panel out and then backed it with gold and deep burgundy card. 

I used a 6 x 6 card blank and embossed the front with an X-Cut Plaid embossing folder.

I put the main panel in the centre of the card front, and then added the heat embossed sentiment to one side. Then I just added a sprinkling of gold sequins to finish it off. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Wear With Style

Morning crafty friends, it's Monday again.  They soon come around don't they?

Over the weekend I was browsing some crafty blogs and found an image I really liked which had been bought from an Etsy shop.  Of course I had to go take a look and ended up purchasing the same set!  It is called Wear With Style and was purchased from All Dressed Up.  Do you like what I did with her?

The image was coloured with different shades of brown promarkers then cut out.  I knew I wanted to use her as a figure on her own and not on a matt so this is what I came up with.

I cut a dark brown adorning square matt to use behind my girl.  The paper is from an Amy Tangerine paper pad by American Crafts.  I loved the colour combinations.

The motif in the corner would have been covered by the matt so I carefully cut around the image with my craft knife and slid the square behind it.

The sentiment is my current favourite stamp.  It is really versatile and I have used it alot recently.  This was matted on to another piece of the orange paper and added to the matt.

The ribbon, button and twine are from our stash and were adhered with silicone glue.

I am very fond of this image and can see me using more of this style.  The card turned out better than I envisioned and will be used for my niece Staci's birthday next week.

Thats all from me today.  TTFN Jude xx

Kraft and black today

Happy Saturday everyone, hope the sun is shining where you are. We have had some sunshine the last couple of days, so it feels more like a normal September now lol.

 

Anyway today's card, is another that I made for my Son-In-Law last week. I started with some matt black card and stamped the scooter image all over it using Versamark ink. I then added black embossing powder and heat set it.

 

 

 

I cut the black card to fit on a 6x6 Kraft card blank and then stamped the same image again on some Kraft card, but this time using Cocoa Memento ink and clear embossing powder.

 

I cut the image out with a Spellbinders Adorning Squares die.

 

Then I decided that the piece of card I had cut it from was too pretty not to use ;o)) so I decided to trim it down and use it. I mounted it on foam pads and then set the fancy cut image back inside.

 

I used my little craft alphabet stickers to make the sentiments and mounted them on Kraft and black card.

 

Even though you don't really see the embossing on the black card I still really like this one. Hope you do too.

 

See you soon.
