A Wedding Card for Just Add Ink 182


Hello Everyone,

How are we today? I'm really great, but extremely busy at the moment with my Christmas Card Buffet coming up this weekend. 

I was asked if I could make some Wedding Cards.  One of my regular customers who does attend classes has been away on holidays and hasn't the time or the stamps to get these done herself quickly.  I told her I probably already had a few in my stash that I could find for her to choose from and a set about making another quick one, just for a little variety.  I also thought I could enter this one in the Just Add Ink challenge to Just Add Frames.  I love my Deco Label Framelits a lot and love how they can frame an image or in this case my dsp and layered labels.

Here is what I came up with.  It's actually very similar in style to the card I created last week inspired by my daughters' Music Night, only in different colours now. 


I've used the Modern Medley designer series paper on this card and the same Beautifully Baroque embossing folder, only this time I brayered inside the folder with Pool Party Ink, the same colour as the card and embossed it.  That's how you get the two toned depth to the embossing.  The greeting "Happy I Do Day" is from a retired stamp set called Word Play, and it was actually the first time I've used that particular greeting from the set.  The Double Hearts are a Brad from my stash (non SU) and the layered labels are various framelits with the exception of the Pool Party stamped one which was hand cut and stamped from a set called Everything Eleanor.  The base of my card is Basic Black.

Have a closer look at those labels


My customer loved this card, in fact she took all four that I had to show her.  I hope you like it too, and would love to hear your thoughts on this one, so please feel free to leave some comments.  I really appreciate them.

Hope you all have a fantastic week.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

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

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...
