Wedding memories

Hallo,


Brief post before I head off to sleep this am. Since I showed you a wedding card earlier this week, I thought I would show you a wedding gift box that I did a while back.


This is an altered cigar box with a memory book inside and a matching gift card.


The paper I used to cover the box is coredinations paper that I ran through texture folders and then sanded off to reveal the coredination color underneath. I used cream with a gold core and black with a gold core.


The stamp is from 'Another Stamp Company' embossed with white onto gold metallic paper.


I added gold ribbon, black sparkly ribbon, a row of pearls, liquid pearls on the gold cut corners....


For the memory book I used papers to match the main box papers (which I also used on the covers) in gold, cream and black. And the same ribbons and pearl treatment.



This box is currently for sale in my Etsy shop BTW....

All for today

Wedding card

Hallo,
Up early and ready to run for the day....I am taking my kids to the 'big city' today (Pensacola) 1 - so they can both get some city and interstate driving time and 2- the driving time was a good excuse for me to make a trip to Hobby Lobby and the JoAnn's super store - and I get to spend the day with my kids to boot (otherwise if we were at home they would find some excuse to either be NOT at home, or in DS's case would be on the xbox most of the day.....)
I did this wedding card for the daughter of a close friend this summer.
The wedding couple - from Another Stamp Company - is stamped and embossed with black onto vellum.
The roses are from Flourishes and colored with prismacolor pencils.
I am pretty sure that the phrase is from Gina K...
One of these days I will remember to make a note when I save these as a blog post so I will know later - course I am not used to having a stash saved for blog posts :)



Ok All for today - going to try and do a few more marker before the kids get up and moving.....taking me longer than I thought it would to get my markers all cleaned and refilled but they really need it!!!

Black and Gold

Hallo,
Short note to show ya a few pics....
More wedding cards....
The first thing I noticed when I edited these photos is that I really should have edged the black and white layer with gold krylon pen as it would have helped it show up a little nicer....oh well too late now that everything is glued down....
The base cardstock is cuttlebugged with the textile folder and then swiped with my embossing pad and embossed with glitter gold .

Both the layers are done with nesties - the gold layer I left a little 'out of the box' for the dress.
Added some pearl trimmed ribbon and black faux crystals.
This first card is a stamp from Another Stamp Company and the second one is a stamp from Northwoods stamp company both embossed with white on gold DP - the back of the black and white layer...

Pink Cuttlebug Wedding

Hallo,
Preposting this for thursday as I will be at work.....
Here is another version of the pink and green - wedding style. These are my DH's nieces colors for her wedding coming up so am trying a few versions to see which I like better.
The base cardstock is a textured green. The next layer up is done with the 'cuttlebug smoosh' technique from Technique Junkies using vivid ink and the textile folder from cuttlebug.
The wedding couple is a stamp from 'Another Stamp Company' and is embossed in white onto vellum. All layers are cut with nestabilities in my cuttlebug and edged with gold krylon pen.
All for today - more weddingish stuff for you tomorrow.

Victorian Wedding

Hallo,
I was a total slacker today and spent almost the entire day in the craft room!!! - no housework, no yard work, didn't get groceries, my poor pooch didn't even get a walk.....like I said - LOL
I had 2 goals in mind for todays card making - a wedding card for my DH's niece - Don't look T!!!! and to get a few extras done to prepost the next couple weeks. I am going to New Orleans the end of next week for a week long Nursing conferance - its one of the biggest and best learning opportunities that you can go to. And with 10,000 plus Critical Care Nurses in one spot at one time it is very motivating and a real charge!!!!

The card I am showing you today starts with a backrounder from Cornish Heriatge Farms called 'Victorian leaves' and you can find it here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I stamped it with distress peeled paint on a white 5X7 card base.
The stamp is from Another Stamp Company and I embossed it in white on vellum and then layered it to 3 layers/ 3 different shades of pink cut with nestabilities in my cuttlebug. The vellum layer is cut to match the top layer with a little bit 'out of the box' for the train of the dress.
I used pink glimmer mist on the paper flowers and all layers are edged with gold krylon pen.


The green ribbon was in my stash and lucky for me it matched :)
All for today - I have a few posts to line up for you as I work the next 2 days (and again monday through wednesday.....I leave friday for New Orleans...)

#3 Oriental DP

Hallo,
Last one I promise to move on to another technique soon - going to try and get some stuff done with all my DP's this weekend.
Same stamps, same inks, no black this time and more of the white embossing so it looks lighter....

#2 oriental DP

Hallo,
Preposting for ya today.
I used the same technique, stamps and inks except instead of tattered rose ditress I used antique linnen.
I liked the color combo of this one with the antiqiue linnen but didn't like how I ended up placeing the lady - should have paid more attention.....
ah well....

Oriental - Designer Paper technique

Hallo,
I did manage to finish these today - not yesterday like I intended. I did however manage to get the last of my Christmas packages mailed, my Christmas cards signed and mailed also, as well as several other errands and a little housework.
Didn't manage much time at the craft table today - needed to finish up some Christmas shopping for the kiddos while they were in school - I work the next 2 days and then the kids are off school for the holidays starting friday.....
This is the first of 3 to show you - more of the Faux Designer Paper technique from Technique Junkies.
This one was done with a variety of oriental stamps - Inkadinkado, Another Stamp Company and Stampland (I think). I used distress inks - tattered rose and brick red for the base and walnut stain and soot black for some of the overstamping.


All for tonight - Take Care
