You're Invited

A bridal invitation for invitation week over at Card A Day Blog, I'm the designer today. Welcome to my blog, this is the card I made for today:

 

The card is made on a white cardstock base A2 style card. The background paper is for Recollections Fairy Tale collection called Fairy Dust, which made the perfect backdrop for the card with all the stamped hearts and flowers. The yellow circle was cut from George & Basic Shapes cart at 4" and the couple was cut from A Child's Year at 3.5" in white cardstock and the shadow was cut out of purple cardstock. The you're invited came from the CTMH set Little Reminder and it was stamped in some $1 bin purple ink it was stamped on white cardstock that was die-cut with Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners set and the edges was inked with the same purple ink and popped up. The cricut die-cuts were dry embossed with the Swiss Dots folder. This is made with the intention of a bridal shower, but could be used for an invite to a special romantic dinner, take out the sentiment and you have a great start to an Anniversary card.

That is one of the cool things about making a card, it isn't necessary to be used for what it was intended for. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world.....

A Quick Thank You

Hi and welcome to my blog, I'm the designer today over at Card A Day Blog and the theme this week is Thank You.

This is a quick way to thank someone and a personal thank you too. This is a A2 size card. White card base, dark green mat and a lighter green pattern mat. Used a white grosgrain ribbon for the center border. In the same dark green cut out the scallop oval from Elegant Edges. On white spotted paper I used the Cri-Kuts pens to write the Thank You and the oval was cut out of George and Basic Shapes. Now this is where having a Gypsy come in handy cause you can cut the oval and then go back and do the writing exactly where you want it. So much easier that trying to line it up for center point position. Another new technique for me using the Cri-Kuts pens. If you want some quick cards with some great backgrounds Elegant Edges is a great cartridge to have in your mix.

Thank You for stopping by today in my little corner of the world.
