Congratulations!

Welcome back everybody :)

Just a quick post before my husband hijacks the computer for a work trip....

My husband's family is Italian. Therefore we get invited to quite a few celebrations - the latest being a wedding. We won't be attending as it's interstate (and I have never actually met the couple so I feel a bit funny about going), but I have put together this little card to send on our best wishes.

I am still on my self imposed challenge to use up supplies I already have, so I tried to come up with something that tied in with the black and silver wedding invitation we received. I think I did OK. Simple and elegant.

Card stock by American Crafts (Ash)

The grey vellum and lovely embossed paper is from my scrap drawer so I am unsure as to the brands. 

"Congratulations" rub-on, pearls and grey grosgrain ribbon by Kaisercraft

Buckle by Christina Re

Silver ribbon also from my scrap drawer. 

This embossed paper is so pretty. I used it previously on some Christening invitations.

Well I am sure the bride and groom will have a lovely wedding day with jovial celebrations to follow.

I think my next project will be more Christmas cards - stay tuned. You can see the ones I made recently here.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Sweet Nothings

Hello again :)

The other day I bought some of Kaisercraft's "Sweet Nothings" collection. I needed something for a "bride to be" card to be given at a High Tea - so I wanted to use something pretty, yet kind of romantic too. The "Sweet Nothings" collection is oh so pretty with flowers galore and also kind of romantic with cherubs and little loving sentiments.

Here's what I've done so far...firstly, a generic card...

Materials used:

Kaisercraft "Sweet Nothings" Paper Pad and Rub Ons

Kaisercard "Latte"

Pearls also by Kaisercraft

These butterflies are cut from one of the papers included in the paper pad.

I sometimes like to add a strip of detail inside my cards too, just for some extra prettiness :) This one is along the bottom.

Next, a "thinking of you" card...

Again using the "Sweet Nothings" Paper Pad and rub ons, also Kaisercard "Sage" and a die cut from the "Sweet Nothings" Collectables.

The possibilities are endless...and lots of fun. Hopefully there will be some time tomorrow to do a few more. Watch this space!

Thanks for dropping by ;)
