Butterfly Wishes

 Hello and happy Wednesday!

I have less than a week left of summer vacation and then it's back to work at school.

I'm always so sad over less craft time.

Today I'm sharing two elegant cards. One is a bridal shower or wedding card and the other is a thinking of you/inspirational card.

It always amazes me what a few dies and a little embossing can do for a card.

These are for no one in particular. Sometimes I just get in the mood to make something pretty.

The beautiful butterfly die is from 5811 – Gift Card Pocket Dies and the sentiment on the green card is from 5949 – Encouragement Sentiments Set.

A few words so that someday when I'm trying to find these cards they'll pop up...

Tara's Bridal Shower!

We celebrated my niece Tara's bridal shower yesterday and this was the card that I made for her.

My sister sent me all of her inspiration photos and I did my best to incorporate her colors and flower theme as well as little personal touches like her love of cats and dogs.

LOVE is actually gold and not black as it appears. I decided on a first for me. I cut the cat and dog out of patterned paper instead of a colored cardstock or white cardstock that I colored, like I've done in the past. I really think they're cute this way.

On the inside I created a pocket to put her check in.

One of her wishes was to have a large ribbon hat so they asked guests to wrap with lots of bows. Since I was only doing a card/cash I created a fancy bow to attach to the envelope. The pink bow came from a yard sale the day before (score!) and then I added lots of curling ribbon in all of her fun colors.

Bridal Shower Apron Card

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for a bridal

shower that Makena and I attended last weekend.

We purchased a gift for the new couple's kitchen, and 

I wanted a card to go along with that theme.

The little heart and flowers are from 5317 – MB Template Dies.

5335 – Kitchen Mini Dies

The little scalloped trim on the apron came from
5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

Congratulations Ryan & Shelby.

Here Comes the Bride!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a bridal shower. 

One of my friend's sons is getting married and this is for her future daughter-in-law.

This is what it looks like when it's closed up.

I thought this was soft and romantic. 
I think Ashley will like it.

 

Love is all around!

I have to be honest...this is not an easy video to shoot.  You have to hold the camera and open the card to release the spinner all at the same time.  Sorry it's not better.

I Brake For Brides!

Hello everyone!!

Today I'm sharing a bridal shower card. 

 My friend is getting married in July and her shower is tomorrow.

The wedding is in Negril, Jamaica so I unfortunately can't attend.  That does explain why I have waves on the inside of the card.  I made her invitations and the waves tie the two in together.

The image is from I Brake For Stamps Rubber Romance line and it's called BRIDE.

 Her colors are coral and aqua.  I've used the verse HERE COMES THE BRIDE on the inside.
