Always Wedding Hearts - TBT

Every so often I like to take out some old DSP and/or stamps and make a throw back Thursday card for my blog. Today's card features the first set I ordered from Stampin' Up! before I was a demonstrator, way back in 2007 or 2008. I embossed it in white on Crisp Cantaloupe card stock, and cut them out. I colored some pearls with my Smoky Slate Blendabilities to make the groom card, and tied on a white ribbon bow for the bride heart.

For The New Two - NAC121

Well, the holidays are over and hopefully I'll have some more time to get crafty again. I received some of my pre-order items from the 2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog, and have barely had any time to play with them. Today's card uses new DSP, a new stamp set, and a new embellishment. I've loosely based this card on the current sketch challenge from Nacho Average Challenges, but in the end decided not to cut the banner end on the middle DSP strip.

 

My blog is also celebrating it's 1 year anniversary! I can't believe how many projects I've shared and how many visitors I've had. Thank you for being part of that!

My First Ever Shaker Card! - FMS156

I've been seeing shaker cards everywhere lately, so I figured I'd order some window sheets and get in on the fun. They arrived last week, along with the Seasonally Scattered set, so I figured I'd give it a try with the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. I went with the Love sentiment to get away from the fall and Christmas themes that have been going on lately. This would make a nice Valentine's Day card or even a wedding card I think.

Stamps: Seasonally Scattered

 

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar

 

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White card stock; 2013-2015 In Color DSP; Window Sheets

Gold Wedding Card - FabFri50

I had planned to make a 50th Anniversary card for this week's color challenge at Fab Friday, but once I started playing with this vellum with the hearts on it, I thought it'd make a great wedding card. I picked up this Mr & Mrs stamp right before it retired, but I like it so I figured I'd use it for this card anyway. It ended up looking nice and rich with the gold embossing and the gold ribbon to match the vellum.

Stamps: Mr. & Mrs.

 

Ink: Versamark

 

Paper: Whisper White card stock, Gold Foil Paper, Gold Fancy Designer Vellum

 

Misc: Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Gold 1/8" Ribbon, Dimensionals

Rustic Wedding Card - CCMC311

I finally used the burlap ribbon on a card!! I wanted to make a rustic country type wedding card, and it worked out well with the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary this week.

The Flowering Flourishes set goes well with this stamp from Label Love. I used the Naturals White cardstock so it wasn't too bright of a card to contrast with the browns.

I stamped the flower from Flowering Flourishes again on the inside to tie it all together:

Stamps: Flowering Flourishes, Label Love

Ink: Sahara Sand, Baked Brown Sugar

Paper: Naturals White cardstock

Misc: Artisan Label Punch, Burlap Ribbon, 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon, In Color Sequins, Pearls, Sticky Strip, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Sponge Dauber
