A happy card!

Hi everyone! And a special welcome to my newest follower, Wendy...it's lovely to have you here! :)

Wasn't it a lovely day yesterday? I even managed to build my new greenhouse and Keiran's ant world...I think that might be staying in my greenhouse. Can you imagine escaped ants all over the house??!

Anyway, I was inspired by the lovely weather to make this cheerful thank you card for a lady who placed an order with me this weekend....

I have used the Happy Watercolor stamp set for the sentiment and Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper. 

I created the edge using the Adorning Accents Edgelits and then embossed using the matching embossing folder. I didn't run it through my Bigshot though. To get the triple embossing I lined up the edge in the folder then used my scoring tool to emboss the lines...they would squish in the Bigshot if I did more than one!

I should also say that this card was also inspired by the lovely Linda, who made a card and I just needed to CASE it! It's a terrific way to use my large stash of DSP! Here is Linda's gorgeous card...

I am being dragged to check on Keiran's ant world so I'm off now...see you soon!

A Wedding Card off to Germany!

As you will know, if you are a regular reader of my waffle, I have had quite a lot of cards on order recently, in particular wedding cards. In fact I was working on one last night too and here it is...

Sadly, apart from the Labels Collection Framelits I used for the main panel and the Adorning Accents Edgelit I used, the rest of the Stampin' Up! products I have used are now retired. I really wish I had got more of this Designer Series Paper. It just goes to show, if you like something, stock up on it cos when it's gone, it's gone! 

This card will be heading off to Germany today...I get orders from all over the place! :)

Wow I am busy with orders this week! I shall try and blog them all when I can.

I have used a lot of die cutting and punching on this card - Ovals Framelits, Bigz Alphabet Typeset, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Pansy Punch, plus Lacy Brocade embossing folder - my Big Shot sure has been put through it's paces today!

I stamped my butterfly onto vellum for a soft, fluttery look.

A money gift wallet

Good morning!

Here is a gift money envelope I made to match a wedding card I made last week. It is a very simple but elegant way to give the happy couple their requested gift of money or vouchers.

I used the Mrs & Mrs stamp, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Labels Collection Framelits & 1/2in Circle Punch.

The measurements for this are as follows...

Main envelope size - 7 & 5/8in x 7 & 1/2in

Belly Band size - 7 & 1/2in x 1 & 3/4in

Score main envelope at 1 & 3/8in and 4 & 6/8in along the 7 & 5/8in side. 

Score belly band at 1 & 7/8in and 5 3/8in. 

I hope these measurements help!

Ink - Melon Mambo

Dies - Labels Collection Framelits, Adorning Accents Edgelits
