Wedding in Paris

It’s wedding season, isn’t it? Here is the first of about a handful of cards I have made. I stumbled upon some lovely pre-coloured images by Wild Rose Studio. Aren’t they lovely?!

The paper I used is a lovely rose frame by Pion Design. The leaves and butterflies are made from a Martha Stewart puncher. I used pearls to give the butterflies bodies and also to decorate the top corners of the card and to frame the image. The ribbon is from one of the Christmas flowers from last year, I believe, and all the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Love-pets

Just a quick card post. I made this card on request where certain colours were to be represented. This one has been made with Martha Stewart punchers, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and pearls, ribbon from a local shop, and a pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley where I used pencils (! That’s a first!) to colour in the red.

Thailand wedding

First I have a slight announcement. The Hobby House is having a fun challenge this month where you can enter both old and new creations. All that is required is that you use one of their toppers on your creation! What’s great is that even us on the design team get to enter! Another reason for me to get my stuff added to the blog this month, hehe. Their toppers really are quite fantastic and I have loved using them over the past year, long before I asked to join their team. Check out the challenge here and the toppers here!

The reason I went to Thailand last month was because a friend of mine was getting married there. The wedding was absolutely beautiful! When I got back home I made her this card and the matching box for it.

The card is made with various bits from my stash as well as a Hobby House topper and pearls, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and various punches by Martha Stewart. The tiny little jar was bought at a crafting faire last year and inside I put sand I brought with me from the beach the wedding was held on, in Hua Hin.

The box is made with flowers and pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts. A bigger jar of sand from the beach with a tiny little bow made from a hanging strap on one of my jumpers; it was the only one I cound find that was thin enough, heh. The punches are from Martha Stewart, the paper from Pion, the dies are spellbinders and the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.

Here is a photo of the card in the box. The ribbon around the edge of the box is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

White wedding

Monday again! First of May is right around the corner and we are having the first signs of spring! Rain! Alright, we’ve had some lovely sunny days as well, but the temperatures are still low. Looking forward to not having to wear a coat every day for sure.

Monday means new challenge over at Paper Playtime! This week’s challenge was a difficult one for me; embossing. I am entirely useless at embossing! The little embossing I have done have been made with the handy folders. This card has been made using one from Marianne Design which does both cutting and embossing, and I have made a wedding card out of it. I have also used various punches and dies from Die-namics and Martha Stewart. The ribbon and bow are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Vintage wedding

Today’s post is another wedding card. I still have a handful more that I need to post. It’s been a long week so far and I’m glad it’s nearly weekend, although I doubt it will be any less busy than this week has been and the next will be. Hopefully I have a little more time to fit some crafting in next week though.
