Mr. and Mrs. Wedding Card

 

I have an overwhelming desire to create cards. It's probably because I haven't made very many lately. I should be working on other things, but I just kind of flip from one thing to the next!

I love black and white. Instead of using some red like I usually do, I chose to add some variation and use a little silver. The embossing folder I used for the background is called Whimsy and is from Lifestyle Crafts. The package comes with two different folders. The flower is from Creative Imaginations.

 

For the sentiment I used a stamp set from Inkadinkado called Wedding #97892. I used a strip of silver mirror card and the black cardstock strip was diecut using a Memory Box die called Charlotte Border. The white shape that I stamped the sentiment on was punched out using one of We R Memory Keepers tab punches. Behind the flower I added some silver ribbon I have in my stash of ribbons. The black and silver gems are called Metallic Decor from Hero Arts.

Trying to take a photo of this card wasn't easy! Because of the silver mirror card I had to keep turning the card so that I wouldn't have my image in the photo. It was still hard to do and I couldn't get a photo of it straight on. 

I do like this embossing folder and will be using a lot it the future. Now on to the next card......

Wedding & Bridal Shower Cards

These are the final wedding and bridal shower cards I created for a custom order. For this one I used a Tim Holtz die for the flowers. The center is a dimensional sticker from K&Company. Ribbon from May Arts.

For this card I used an embossing folder from Sizzix for the sentiment. The patterned paper used on all of these cards is the Luxury Stack from DCWV and the base cardstock is from PTI. Gemstones are from Hero Arts.

I love the patterned paper used on this card. This sentiment is also a dimensional sticker from K&Company called Wedding Tags Grand Adhesions.

This is my favorite of the wedding cards I created. I love the all white with the silver flowers. An embossing folder from Sizzix was used for the sentiment. The flower centers are ribbon from Maya Road.

Wedding Cards

 

Today I'm going to share two cards I've created for an order I'm working on. The third one I made about a month ago for another order for the same customer. I decided I better take a photo and blog after I make a few. Otherwise I get behind and end up having to do everything all at once.

 

I popped up the sentiment on this one. I love this silver paper from TPC Studio. On the flowers I used some stickles to give them a little sparkle. Below is the sentiment I used on the inside.

 

To give this card a little pop I added the red jute and liquid pearls to the center of the flower.

On the inside I used a stamp from Verses Rubber Stamps called Warm Congratulations.

I added a little color with the red bling on this one. 

I thought I'd share some of my favorite adhesives. Clockwise below I have my Scotch Advanced Tape Glider, Zip Dry Wet Paper Glue and foam mounting tape.

I'm so happy I decided to break down and buy the Scotch Tape Glider! After years of using inferior tape runners that don't adhere the cardstock to my projects I needed something new. I kept seeing people using them in videos I watch on YouTube. Thanks to my friend Susie over at Creative Cafe, I decided to purchase one. I asked her opinion and she emailed me a 40% off coupon for Michael's. It's a very aggressive adhesive which I love. When I use it, I know that nothing is going to fall off a project. I don't use it alot, but I would never go back to other tape runners that I once used.

My next absolute favorite is Zip Dry. I have other wet glues that I use for various projects, but this is my number one adhesive that I use exclusively. I use it for everything. I use this more than the tape glider.

The foam mounting tape shown in the photo above is something that I buy at the Dollar Store. I saw a video (I can't remember who did the video - sorry!) and the woman said that's what she used instead of buying foam pop up dots. What a fantastic tip! It's so much less expensive and all you have to do is cut it to size. I found it in the hardware section. I will never spend money on the other stuff again!

I was telling my husband I need more table space! The problem is I don't have room. I have one table to work on. The mess above is another table I use to the right of my work table. I like to pull everything out and have it at my fingertips while working. The only thing is, I fill it up so much I can't find anything! I really miss having a six-foot and a four-foot table to use like I did in our house in Minnesota. Now I'm down to two four-foot ones. My only option is to take the sofa out of my room. I can't do that because my furry friends use it. I wouldn't want them to have to lay on the floor!

Products used for these cards include: Cardstock by PTI, Stamps from Inkadinkado, Fiskars, Verses Rubber Stamps and Studio G, Sizzix and Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Liquid Pearls, Stickles, Jute, Sheer Ribbon, Memento Black Ink, EK Success Edge Punch, Corner Punch from Creative Memories, Patterned Paper from TPC Studio, Stampendous! Dot Sparklers, Metallic Decor from Hero Arts.

I still have quite a few more cards that I'll be sharing as I finish them. Thanks for stopping by!
