For the Bride and Groom

Oops!! I suddenly realised that I hadn't made a card for my friend Lisa's Wedding as there is only a few days to go I had to come up with something quickly.
I have taken this from a tutorial Jenny made a while ago, she had done them for Valentines Day,
I have adapted it to make it more weddingy... (is that a word)
There are four pockets inside and I made little inserts to go in each pocket.
The card stock is: Craft, Whisper White Pretty in Pink and Blush Blossom.
Stamp Sets: Vintage Vogue, Tiny Tags, Very Versatile, Gods Blessings, Trendy Trees, Flight of the Butterfly and 1 (Heart) Hearts. Thanks for looking, bye for now!!


I used the Extra large Two Step Bird Punch on this pocket

Here I have used the Sweet Pea stitched felt flowers and leaves which I think are amazing you get so many pieces in the packet for only £6.50.

These are the four inserts

Bridal Favours

What a busy week, It has been manic at work and Peter has been quite poorly after his Knee replacement operation and to top it all my computer and internet access has been on the blink, anyway I think it is temporarily sorted although I think we perhaps need a new computer.

Last Christmas I made some crackers for friends at work and put little tubes of hand cream inside. Lovely Lisa a dance teacher saw them and asked if I would be able to make 50 of them as favours for her wedding and also two cards one for Father of the Bride and the other for Mother of the Bride below is the end result.
Lisa's colour scheme and theme is Pinky, silvery and glittery and Butterflies.
I used SU stamp sets Flight of the Butterfly, Vintage Vogue and Tiny Tags to stamp the crackers with Pretty in Pink ink and then glittered the butterflies and flowers with Dazzling Diamonds glitter
Lisa wanted the cards to stay on a similar theme as the crackers but with black and pink for her dad and white and pink for her mum.
I decided to make Shadow cards as they are just a little bit different from the norm.
The same stamp sets and inks have been used with the addition of Frames with a Flourish which I stamped around the computer generated text.
I used SU Specialty Papers Bride and Groom for the card itself these papers are really quite thick and work really well,.
I made a couple of boxes for them tied them with ribbon and there we have it, hope she likes them. Thanks for looking..

Out of their boxes

This last week has been utter bliss, as I have mentioned before I work in a school and at the moment it is the Easter holidays. Because of where Easter fell this year we have had 2 weeks 2 days, and Easter fell on the first weekend, those 2 extra days have made such a huge difference and I have spent nearly the whole of this past week crafting, crafting crafting...Pure Bliss.. Anyway here is what I have been up to..............

The idea for this bag and shadow/diorama card came from Jenny, but I have used Fox and Friends stamp set (from the new mini catalogue) Forest Friends and Pocket Silhouettes I have really gone crazy about Pocket Silhouettes lately but I find it so versatile.
Card stock: Lavender Lace, Almost Amethyst and Very Vanilla
Ink Pads: Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip Old Olive, Rose Red and Basic Black.
The two little Butterflies are from Flight of the Butterfly Stamp Set

I needed to make some cards quite quickly for my Church and decided to make several different styles and colours: These 2 are Bareley Bannana and Summer Sun card and inks. The flower is from SU Greenhouse Garden.

These 2 are shadow or diorama cards. I have used Ruby Red and Very Vanilla card stock. Ruby Red and Mellow Moss Inks.

These two are book mark cards made using Lavender Lace, Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant card stock and Inks. The stamp set is from the new Mini Catalogue ..and is called Vintage Vogue.

I have finished off with some Elegant Eggplant grosgrain ribbon.

I borrowed this stamp from a lovely friend of mine, I just love it I have used Brocade Blue card and inks, finishing of with some Bashful Blue taffeta ribbon

I have always loved the Footprints Verse and in fact have the whole verse on a door in my home so when I saw this stamp I just had to buy it. I have used Sage Shadow Bravo Burgandy and So Saffron card stock, with matching ribbon to finish off.

I just love the new bird punch from SU it is new and available from the mini catalogue. I have seen it used in amazing ways. I have used it here in quite a simple way as I wanted the words to be in the forefront. The stamp set is Pocket Silhouettes.

Card Stock is Certain Celery, Old Olive, Whisper White and Summer Sun

Card Stock for this card is as above minus the Summer Sun.

Stamp Sets are Flight of the Butterfly, Pocket Silhouettes and Garden Silhouettes which is an old Hostess set
