Golden Wedding #3

This is the last of the Golden Wedding cards I made, this one for my friend to give her husband. I used a large coloured simply print from LOTV called mouse and champagne as the card is 8x8.  I diecut the image with a Go kreate frilly #10 die and inked the edges with wild honey DI.  I used paper from LOTV and added some burlap. I found some gold glitter washi tape in my stahs and used the Dovecraft adhesive gold glitetr card again with a large heart die. I added a few of the waste hearts around the image.  I kept it quite simple as it was for a male, personally I don't like adding flowers to male cards.

Golden Wedding #2

This is the card I made for my friend to give his wife. It is from LOTV called Bunnies, clouds and champagne. I coloured it with Copics. The papers are from an old Santoro pack. I cut the image using the out of the die technique and a Lawn Fawn stitched circle die. The striped paper was cute using dies from the Works. The lace is from my stash, flowers from Wild Orchid and I used an old La La Land banner die adding the waste dies around the image.

Golden Wedding card #1

This is the card I made for our friends' Golden Wedding yesterday using a coloured simply print from LOTV. They asked me to make cards for them both to send each other so I had to come up with three different designs. 

I am not into lots of gold and bling but I did find a gold doily in my stash and used the Dovecraft adhesive glitetr card which I normally only use at Christmas. I found some gold ricrac but that wouldn't stick and I didn't want to wrap it round the paper as they would have made it bulky. I remembered I have a MFT stitched ricrac die so used my adhesive glitter card with it. I also used the card with a sentiment die and my MS fern punch. I have never found glitter card which punches well but this works perfectly. The flowers are from The Hobby House.

Golden Wedding Champagne

Another special occasion card, not always easy to know what to use on these for a change but I found this LOTv diecut in my pile and thought it was perfect.

It must be love

Here I am in my cosy craftroom and outside it is sunny, bright, frosty and currently -6 still at 10am, brrrr. Our challenge at Totally Gorjuss is Lurve and we are sponsored by the wonderful Crafter's Companion so you could win a £10 voucher to spend. I've made a rather different card for this one which was inspired by the wonderful Union Square paper from Michaels. I wanted to use the gorgeous sparkly word Love with the swirls so worked my card around that. It is an 8x8 card requested by a very special friend of mine. The bunting paper is from the same 12 x 12 sheet. I've used my wonderful Tim Holtz clock die again, cut from Core'dinations and weathered with DI Vintage Photo. The MS heart punch has been out again and I've used some gorgeous cream lace I bought at a show, cherry blossom from Wild Orchid with punched fern leaves and Jolee's Boutique metal scrolls. I really enjoyed making something without a stamped image for a change and I love the vintage look of this card.
