Fall Wedding Card

Welcome back!  I needed a wedding card and it will be Fall in rural New York so I decided an autumn feeling background would be perfect.  The leaves will just be starting to turn and the wedding is in a location that is nestled in a very woodsy setting.

I decided to make a 5x7 card.  I used the Falling Leaves stencil by taping off the edges and then moving the stencil around on the panel and applied varying fall colors.  Finally I topped it off with some gold texture paste.

I added a topper with the Happily Ever After sentiment from the Ever After stamp set embossed on it.  I added some fabric, paper and a hand crocheted flower along with some embellishments and twine.  I think this one is just right!

Happily Ever After

Hello, it's Michelle here from Seashell Creations.

I'm sharing a wedding card today using "Ever After" and "Terrific Flowers" stamp sets.

I love the font from this gorgeous sentiment set!  Ever After  

is filled with sentiments about love and perfect for weddings and anniversaries.

I started by stamping the whimsical floral from 

Terrific Flowers in grey ink and coloured it in with Prisma pencils.  

I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black ink over the top of my image.

Hi All - It's Vicki here today from All I Do Is Stamp.

Today I used Ever After (I love the font and the bigger size sentiment), along with Mon Ami.

 I also used the Tin Roof Stencil for the bottom half of the panel.

I hope you enjoyed my card today~  See you next month.

A Clean and Simple "I Love You"

Happy Saturday everyone!! Nora here from A Creative Touch with a simple card using the Peace, Love and Coffee and the Ever After stamp sets. I created a "love" card that could be used for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a birthday. 

My mojo has been absent as of late so I challenged myself to create a simple card with the card front being only one layer. I hardly ever make cards like this as I am a very messy stamper and wind up getting ink somewhere I don't want it!!

I started off my card by stamping the sentiment from the Ever After set with black ink onto a white cardstock panel measuring 4" by 5 1/4".

Before I stamped the hearts, I created pencil marks where I wanted the center heart, as well as the left and right hearts. I used the heart from the Peace, Love and Coffee set and stamped the first three hearts in pink, filling in and overlapping with the last two hearts.

I then stamped the next two rows the same way, creating an ombre effect.

My last step was to take the card front and adhere it to a top folding, red, A2 sized card base. 

I hope this inspires you to create your own simple card. If you decide to go shopping at the CAS-ual Fridays Online Store, be sure to use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.

Happy Anniversary!!

Hello everyone!! Its my first card for 2020 and nice to not be making a Christmas card! Hope you all had a fantastic holiday, that your weather was kind and you had a chance to relax. I'm back to work tomorrow after having just under two weeks off and not looking forward to it at all.....would much rather stay home and hang out with the kids, play basketball with Max and experiment with make-up with Phoebe.

Walking through a bookstore yesterday I saw a few Valentine's cards advertised and was quite shocked as feel like I haven't gotten over Christmas yet. But it got me thinking about making some cards about love instead of them being covered in Christmas images:

I thought these pastel colours were so pretty together with the light grey and white. And love how the 'white-on-white' background adds some interest without taking away from the main image.

The background was made with the Heart A2 Panel Fri-die, the central image with the Heartboard Fri-dies and Ornament Tag Fri-dies, and the sentiment from the Ever After  stamp set. Mixing a bit of the old with the new!! To find out how I put this together you can find all in the info on my blog HERE. 

Hope you've found a bit of inspiration with my design for your own Valentine's cards and I'll see you back here again later in the month with a new idea or two.

Take care
Shona

 

On Your Wedding Day

Happy New Year!  Lisa here and today I'm sharing a card for a wedding and I've used lots of embossing powder on the background, sentiment and on the embellishments.  I used some gold mirror cardstock and was wondering how it would take the heat if I were heat emboss it. 

I started by creating my background using the Starlequin stencil and applied some gold embossing paste through it.  Then while it was wet I sprinkled on some Vintage Peacock embossing powder and heated it up.:

Next I die cut one of the CASual Trees Fri-dies from gold mirror cardstock, smooshed the ends onto my embossing ink pad and then smooshed them into the powder.  I didn't worry about full coverage because I like things imperfect and wanted the gold to show through.

As you can see, the mirror cardstock took the heat ok, however, some of the embossing powder seemed to slide around a bit as I heated it.  After it cooled, I applied more embossing ink and more powder and heated it again... this time keeping the heat pointed straight down at it instead of coming from the side as I tend to do and that seemed to help more stay put.....

And this is what I ended up with... I LOVE it!   I used the same powder as in the background, Vintage Peacock, and I mixed in some plain gold die cuts for contrast in my "bouquet". I love imperfect things in my project, but if you don't, then you may want to use plain cardstock for this technique for more even coverage of the embossing powder and you can just keep adding more until you get the look that you like!

  

I love to cut apart the branches of this CASual Trees die cut so I can make a full "bouquet" and love how it coordinates perfectly with the background.  The heart from the Heart Board Fri-Dies is perfect as a vase.

I embossed the sentiment from the Ever After set in white onto some teal cardstock and added a matte of the gold behind it, tucking a few more of the branches from the CASual Trees die cuts in the corner.

  

I'm playing along with the Wow Embossing Powder January Challenge which is Love/Valentines Day/Wedding/Anniversary.  I've got that covered!
