Another Chalk Talk card

I really love this set for all occasions.  It is so well rounded and can be dressed up or down.  I saw this card idea from demonstrator Debbie Henderson.  I nearly copied it exactly  how she did the card.  I loved the color pallet, and tried to do another one, but did not like the results.  I will be trying to replicate with other colors or patterns for a less elegant look.  I wanted a card for my club that could be used for a birthday, anniversary, baby birth, or wedding.  This one fit the bill!  I really think you all need that Chalk Talk bundle I shared on Sunday!  SO GO RUN to my store and get one for yourself HERE TODAY!

Spring project- wedding and bridal cards

Dawnmarie and I were planning Michelle's bridal shower and of course we needed INVITATIONS!  so I took an afternoon and created some bridal/wedding cards.  Unfortunately, all the stamps are retired now... but I love the Bridal Bliss set!  The other unique part of these cards - the first two are actually HYBRID cards - meaning, parts are from MDS and printed to be used as part of the card.  The sentiment was done on my computer and printed to be put on the card.

Anniversary

It is so hard to believe that a year has passed by so quickly - it just seems like a short while ago that my oldest son, James, married his sweetheart Dawnmarie.  I love her so much and am so glad he found her.  I made them this card for their anniversary this past week.  It was all about the hearts!

Wedding invitations

My daughter in law and I have a crafting business we do together called Celebration Creations.  You can check that blog out with the linky on the left side bar of this blog.  We do all kinds of things to help celebrate any occaision - weddings, birthdays, showers (baby or wedding), quincinerras, you name it - we do it!  

I made some sample wedding invitations up and thought I'd share them here - 

Both use impressions folders and some heat embossing also.  I hope they inspire you today!

A Little Behind

Ok - so make that a LOT behind - May was so ridiculously busy I am finally starting to dig out from the mess!  So, I will start with May's Stampin' Up! Stamp club.  We had a great time at Tracy's house making some wonderful cards with NEW items from the Summer Mini catalog.

The first card was a simple one - it wasn't with new product, but fast!  It used Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (love that set!)  The colors are Tempting Turquoise and Peach Parfait.  The sentiment is from the set On Your Birthday.

The second card we made was also simple - a little bling wedding card using the set Word Play.  We punched out a square with the Ribbon Border Punch out of Marina Mist CS and ran a white ribbon around the card and added a little 'bling' with a rhinestone jewel!  VIOLA!  

Wedding Cards

Before you get all crazy thinking I have ANOTHER kid getting married - calm yourself!  My dear friend Jamie asked me if I had any wedding invitation samples on my blog - well... the answer was NO.  So, I decided it was high time I did.  I have scanned the internet for others samples and well... stamp-lifted!  I praise those who made the origionals - where-ever you are and who ever you are!  I keep files full of ideas and my gratitude goes out to you.  If you see one of your cards here PLEASE let me know so I can give you proper credit for the idea! 

Enjoy - the cards were all made with either Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler, Riding Hood Red and Tangerine Tango, or Peach Perfection and Poppy Parade.
