CR84FN46

Love One Another ---

This is the inspiration for CR84FN46 - Lt. Pink, Yellow and Neutral.

Below is my card. I chose to make a wedding card for a friend of ours who got married in Thailand in December 2011. I was waiting until after they returned from their honeymoon to ask what they needed/wanted as their wedding gift. This is what the groom, our friend, said to me, "We are abundantly blessed. We only need a beautiful card." Isn't that just the sweetest thing?! So here I am presenting you with Sanon & Veena's wedding card. I was presented, from my mom, a bag full of beautiful laces in yellow, pinks, light blue, and ecru. So what I used on my card is the lt. pink, lt. blue, pale yellow and some of the green satin ribbon that was also in the bag. I embossed the pink panel cardstock. Added some flower rhinestones and some glittery leaves.
I added a little loopy string of pearls to the flower.

My sentmient was a little diffcult to read in the above picture so here it is again. It says, "Love one another."

I'm really proud of this photo as for about two years I ahve been trying to take closeups with my camera and had so many failures I had given up. I think I whipped it this time. I actually had some great lighting (one of my Christmas pressies from the hubs) and used the timer on the camera.


Anyhoo, if you'd like to play along with the gals at CR84FN, just pop on over there and follow the rules.

Hope you like my card! Be sure to check out my kit I am selling HERE. But hurry, the deadline to purchase is February 4, 2012.

happiness Always - CCT107 MONO MANIA

happiness Always - Cute Card Thursday Challenge #107 Mono Mania. I saw a similar card to this in my May 2010 issue of CARDMAKER Magazine. It works perfectly for this challenge. I used 3 shades of grey and one whisper white cardstock from Stampin' Up! I ran the middle shade of grey through my Cuttlebug using the harlequin embossing folder. My stamps are from Kaiser Crafts and Stampin' Up! I stamped with Imprintz white pigment ink and embossed with Up Town silver powder. I used my Martha Stewart picket fence border punch on a 2 x 12 inch strip of white computer paper for my frilly matte under my medium grey scallop circle. The pearls on my scallop are from Kaiser Crafts. My velvet flowers are from 7 Gypsies. I added little irredescent pearls to the centers. Ribbons are from RAKs.

White on White on Green with Cream - PCPCUTTLEBUG-ERS63 DEBOSSING & SFYTT31- This card was created using the sketch at SFYTT and the tutorial at Inspirational Tips, Techniques & Tutorials. The base of the card is white and it is debossed with the D-Vine Swirls ef. The smaller white piece is debossed with the Victoria ef. The two hearts were cut using the heart Nesties and the little green piece is one of the Peony Nesties. The ribbons are from JoAnns. The crocheted lace ribbon was a piece leftover from my oldest daughter's wedding gown. Although she is divorced now, I still love this crocheted ribbon and try to use it on wedding or baby cards.

Amanda & Garrett - CSCC67, TESC101

Inside is a side step card.

Happy Wedding Day to Amanda & Garrett! It's still another week or 2 away but I wanted to get the card made and ready to be sent.

I used the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge (movie featured this week is Tristan & Isold) color combination and gate fold challenge. The cover is based on Taylored Expressions sketch challenge #101. Although I didn't use any dragonflies on this card, I do intend to make a few cards for Taylor's Dragonfly Card Drive.

There's lots of bling and flowers on this card. I used the KaiserCraft stamp set CS720 - Flowers & CS702 - Circles. KaiserCraft - pink rhinestones. Ink for stamping images is Encore! Ultimate Metallic - COPPER. More Mark Richards adhesive backed Cabuchon Crystal Stickers in brown, pink and cream. Spellbinders - Borderabilities - Lattice die. Cardstock - Stampin' Up! Pattern Paper cardstock DCWV - The Glitter Stack. I added some hook and loop tape under the tag with the couple's names.
