Another card

Hi again,

It's been a long time (LOL) Hope you are all doing fine.

Well I have another card that my sister-in-law has asked me to make. This time it's a wedding card for friends of my brother & sister-in-law. This was a little bit of a challenge and I didn't really know what I was going to do for this, considering I didn't know these people or any colours to use, so I just had to go with what I thought and my sister-in-law absolutely loved it and when she showed my brother-in-law, he couldn't believe that "lil ole me" had made it (I know - big head right now....LOL) So I know, now your all waiting for a happy snap! Here it is....

For this card I have used white bazzill, cut out the middle using spellbinders nestabilites labels, (sorry not sure what number they are) embossed the top with my flourish embossing folder, used acetate in the middle. I cut the love heart using my cricut machine, along with the flourishes, using chipboard, inked them with white staze on ink, spritzed them with homemade white spritz and glossy accents on the top, along with the pearl bling on half the love heart, made roses from Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and white bazzill and inked the edges with distress ink, victorian velvet, and kindy glitz. I have also cut a smaller label and inked it with victorian velvet also and added the words by computer.

As pictured below, I have also made a matching box for the card to go in. I have cut the middle out of the lid of the box, so you can see the card through (thought it would be a good idea), I have used versamark to stamp and emboss the flowers on the lid (one of my stamps from my stash, not quite sure what its called - sorry), and inked it with victorian velvet and added some pearls around the edge. For the inside of the card, I added a sentiment and again uses the distress ink, victorian velvet around the edges.

Wow another posting.....2 posts in 1 night - woo hoo on a roll!

Well stay safe & take care bloggers. Jo x

Card with a difference

Hi again bloggers, (not that I have many followers, LOL would like to get more, but just not sure how???) Hope you are all doing well, all is well and busy (as usual) at my end, and I have been doing a few challenges (as usual) and also card making (challenges & personal). My sister-in-law had asked me if I could make a card for her 30th wedding anniversary - I said "ooh I could put wedding photos on it". So I did indeed make her an anniversary card, pictured. For this card I have use some grey bazzill from my stash, the wedding photo (of course), and I purchased from Scraptivate closing down sale a cuttlebug emboss plus folder which I have used on this card, I have also used silver sticker borders along the edges. I have used my cricut machine (which I absolutely love) to cut out the "Happy Anniversary" and coloured it with silver promarker (something else I absolutely love), and glossy accents over the top, have also used my cricut, promarkers, and glossy accents for the love hearts and the champagne glasses. For the inside of the card, I have used a slightly lighter grey bazzill and another wedding photo (cause I couldn't choose which one to use), inked the bazzill using distress ink "pumice stone" and a flourish stamp, used a fiskas corner shaper to cut corners of bazzill and photo and some more hearts cut from my cricut machine, used my computer to type out the words. Hope you like it..... :)

Hi there bloggers,

Hope your all doing great...

Well I have a couple of new layouts to post today, this one was challenge for Tomorrow's Memories and I had decided to use the photos from my nieces 21st birthday, where all the family were in the photo. These photos were taken in April 2011, nearly a year ago and I entered the layout last year. I have made the flowers from one of the papers supplied on the first page and also the leaves on both pages, using the Tim Holtz alterations tattered florals die. I have inked aound the edges of them, using tim holtz distress inks (which I must say are my favourite and only inks I use, besides momentum black, for my images), and have added some extra flowers, along with the flowers supplied in the pack. I didn't win this challenge, but I have a lot of fun doing them anyway.

I hope you like my page and my post. Take care and hopefully I will post another posting soon. x
