A Wedding Card using Hearts Framelits

Hello Everyone,

I've been having a bit a play with the Heart Framelits to create a couple of cards.

This first one I've created using is a Heart Shaped card using cardstock of Raspberry Ripple and Very Vanilla.  I've used a combination of stamps including Marry Me set (retired), En Francais & Loving Thoughts.

The background was firstly stamped on the Very Vanilla front heart with En Francais in Sahara Sand.  I then inked the Bridal couple image from Marry Me set with Versamark and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing powder.  Lastly, the roses were stamped in Raspberry Ripple ink onto the background.  The New Mr & Mrs was stamped in Raspberry Ripple Ink separately and punched with the Ticket Punch.  I inked around this to give a little definition and raised it on a Pop dot on the card front and added a couple of little pearls to each side.


See how I've folded the Very Vanilla card to cut the smaller Heart Framelit, so that it doesn't cut throught the whole side and a little of the fold remains intact to hold the card together.  This was then adhered to the larger Raspberry Ripple Scallop Heart which was embossed with Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.  Here is a photo of the card when opened showing the inside.  I've stamped with the Loving Thoughts set the words Forever and Always in Raspberry Ripple ink.


Here is a closer look at the front.  The gold embossing on the solid image like this really stands out well, although it was a little hard to pick up in the photo.  I had difficulty photographing the whole card well actually, as the En Francais background is also quite subtle on the card.


Thanks so much for stopping by for a look.  I will be back again soon with another card made with the Heart Framelits tomorrow.

    Thanks Girls, I think this shape would be good for a Mother's Day card too.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
