Wedding card

Isn't it frustrating when you find something you like on Pinterest, and you have every intention of going back and pinning it to one of your boards,  and then when you try to go back, you can't find it?

Luckily, the next day it was right there at the beginning of my feed.  I pinned it immediately and was inspired to make this card. 

 Here is the original card I saw, crafted by Mary Brown.

 

You can find it on her blog here,

 along with a lot of other beautiful projects.

I am submitting my version to the following challenges:

The Crafting Challenge - May Flowers 

Craft-Dee Bowz May Challenge - AG

A Place to Start May Challenge - Create your own background
 

Unicorn Challenge #54 - Use Dies

Through the Craft Room Door Week of May 19th - AG

 Thanks for stopping by my blog.  

Hope you visit Mary's blog, too.

Another Wedding Card

It's that time of year!

June was traditionally the most popular wedding month.

Not so any more.

September and October are now the top months. 

With all the weddings that once took place in June, 

I'm in need of more anniversary than wedding cards this month. 

And I know of one very special one that I should get working on!

After I quickly enter this in these challenges:

Simon Says Monday Challenge - Wedding/Anniversary

Scrap From Your Heart Challenge #34 - Wedding 

Fab n Funky Challenge #443 - Something New (I've used a beautiful new lace die from Paper Rose.)

Krafty Chicks Challenge #458 -  Die Cuts

Scrapy Land Challenge #115 - AG  with a die SL sells (Paper Rose, lace; Spellbinders, banner)

Wedding Card

My mother asked me to make a special wedding card for one of her friends.  I pulled out the prettiest creamy white paper, pre-embossed with tiny butterflies, pale green velum, dies from Our Daily Bread, and pearls to make the front of the card.

 The sentiment stamp is from Verve, embossed in white.  The layered butterflies are a CTMH cricut cut on the Art Philosophy cartridge.

For the inside I used another ODBD die and a Cherry Lynn Designs fancy flourish die. 

These Inkadinkado sentiment stamps are embossed in white.

Challenges:

Cut It Up Challenge #105 - Name Game (My first name begins with a "D" and I've used dies.)

Monochromatic Card for Color My Heart + CTMH class 6/23/15

My mother's birthday is on Saturday, but the current Monochromatic Color Dare Challenge #147 closes tomorrow.  Normally I don't post a card before I know it has been received.  Since Mom's not a big internet user, other than checking email, I am relatively confident that it is safe to post this card and enter it in the challenge.

I've used the CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge, as well as, a CTMH embossing folder, glitter paper, a puffy butterfly and bling.

Additional Challenges I am entering:

Crafty Creations Challenge #292 - Red, White, and/or Blue

And here are the cards we made yesterday at Joyce's CTMH card class.

Summer Wedding

A few weeks ago at one of Joyce's CTMH card workshops, we made a card using the center section of this stamp.  To my eye, what remained was a ring of hearts.  The other gals agreed that it might look good on a card.  Mickey even contributed a few of her unneeded hearts, which I was able to raise with 1/8" foam tape for a bit of dimension.  With a few layers of embossed white CS, some bling, a corner punch,  ribbon, and CTMH sentiment added,  I'm glad I didn't throw that piece away.

This card is being submitted to the following challenges:

Art Impressions Challenge #141 - Like an EmBoss
