Card for Bobbie and Marissa's wedding

I promised to show "stuff I made" for the wedding, but I will not be going at it in order....
Just the way I am I guess...

So here is one of the two cards I made for them for the wedding.  This one was for Julie.
We dropped them in the big chest at the wedding reception.
And Bobbie and Marissa paid me the nicest compliment.  The next day when they were opening up all the cards, they said that they had a few favourites and it turned out that they were both made by me.  Isn't that nice!!
(Today is Bobbie's birthday, so I better hurry and make him his birthday card.... always at the last minute...)

So here is the card I made for Julie to give them.

Their wedding colours were Black, turquoise (Tiffany Blue) and white.
So I had bought lots of papers and accessories in those colours.
The patterned paper is "Lush" by My Mind's Eye.  The crystals are also by My Mind's Eye.
The white roses, pearls and leaves, I found at a gift bag supplier.

So here is the first card:

I'll show you the second card tomorrow.

Thanks for your visit.

Penny Black Challenge Easter

Here is a card I made for the Penny Black Blog weekly challenge.  The challenge this week is Easter cards.  I just bought this cute little bunny and had to use it for the challenge!

I colored the image with Copic Markers.
The patterned papers (pink glitter and flowers are from a stack from DCWV.)
I cut the image and the mat with Spellbinders Nestabilities.
I also sewed a plain stich all around the patterned paper.

The "Easter Wishes" greeting is by Stampin'Up.  The flowers are Prima and the bling in the flowers and by the greeting are Hero Arts.

Thanks for looking!

Marissa's Birthday card

What a beautiful Sunday morning!

I am at my computer, working on downloading the wedding photos to be printed and I am enjoying the beautiful sunshine coming in the window.

While going through the photos, I realized that I never really shared all the "stuff" I made for the wedding events.

So I'll try to post them one a time over the next few weeks (don't want to bore you...:) )

Here is the first one.  It is the card I made for Marissa's birthday on August 1st.  We had a nice garden party at her parents' house.  Marissa is a dental hygienist and her sister had a beautiful cake done for her.  So original!!

Here is the photo of the cake (and beautiful Marissa).

Isn't the smiling tooth amazing???  I can't remember the name of the pastry shop, but if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll find out....

And now here is the card I made:

I used a digital image by Mo Manning.  I colored it with my Copics (of course!)

Marissa likes a lot of bling (like me...) so I used my best K& Co. blingy patterned paper, some gems on the cat's collar and on the image.  

The image and mat were cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

The ribbon is Certainly Celery by Stamping Up.

The greeting was computer generated.

The little flowers by the greeting were bought at the Dollar store a long time ago....

I'll be back with more!  Enjoy the beautiful day!

Bonne Journée!!!

Little Fairies

I have 2 cards to share tonight...

I did those for a class at Bonnidée.  The images were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol.  The patterned paper for the dark card is by SEI and the lighter one is oops I have a blank... something Creations...

And I'm sorry to say - I don't know who makes the stamps...

So here are the cards...  If you need more info, let me know and I'll try to answer...

The images and mats were cut with Nestabilities.  Leaving the die on, I then distress the edges of both images with Ranger Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass.

The flowers on the pink card were cut with punches from Nellie Snellen (one punch cuts and the other punch embosses).  If you enlarge the photo (by clicking on it) you might see the embossing on the petals. I used 2 different size punches to create the flowers.

The ribbons are by May Arts.

And of course, I added a lot of glitter with a fine glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Thanks for your visit!

Stampin'up Birthday card

Hi everyone,

Just a quick share of a card I made for one of the Ladies in my Stampin'Up Club.
Bonne Fête Chantale!

I used one of the current Hostess sets to stamp the butterflies.

The patterned paper is one of the free product in the Sale-a-bration mini catalog (free with a $60 purchase until March 30th, 2011).

The chocolate chip cardstock under the butterflies was cut with the Stampin'Up border punch.

I also placed little SU pearls in the centres of the butterflies.

The blue CS is SU Tempting turquoise.

Oh and there is a little bit of Dazzling Diamond glitter around the wings of the butterflies.

Thanks for your visit!  Merci de votre visite.

Penny Black Weekly challenge

Hello everyone,

Here is the card I made this week for the challenge on the Penny Black blog.

The challenge was to use white as the main element of the card.

II used a Penny Black stamp of course!

I coloured those cute little Penny Black mice with my Copic markers (I love colouring those Penny Black images!!!).
The image is Penny Black Snuggle 3343H and the greeting is "Happy Valentine's Day" 1344F.

My background white cardstock is Gina K 120lb white.
I also used White Stardream cardstock that I emblossed with Kassie's Brocade Embossing folder (Cuttlebug). I just love the shimmer of that cardstock. The ribbon is from "Omer de Serres" (a local craft store). The colour is Terra Cotta.
The bottom trim is punched with Martha Stewart double heart border punch.

I cut the image with a Nestabilities circle (Lacey circle). The hearts on the image were covered with Ranger Glossy enamel. And the edges of the image were distressed with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. The edges of the greeting were rubbed gently with Barn Door Distress Ink.

Well that's it!
Thanks for your visit. Merci de visiter mon blog.

Valentine Challenge card

I made this card for the new weekly challenge on Penny Black's Blog.

The challenge was to follow this sketch:

Here is my card:

I used my favorite, an Hedgehog stamp (Hearts Away #3609H) colored with Copics markers.

The hearts are covered with Ranger Glossy accents.

The patterned paper is BoBunnty 2665 forget-me-nots

The pink cardstock and ribbon are by Stampin'Up, in Melon Mambo

The green Cardstock is BoBunny Kiwi Double Dots

The white textured cardstock is by DCWV.

I cut the image with Nestabilities dies and coloured the edge of the coloured image and the scalloped square with Ranger Distress ink Worn Lipstick.

The layers at the bottom of the card were made by punching different colours of cardstock with Martha Stewart border punch called Loops Heart border.

Now all I have to do is decide who I will give this to!!

Thanks for looking.

Merci de votre visite.
