Non-Stamping Wedding Card

Hi all,

Hope you're well and having a good week so far.

Anyway, after making a waterfall card for the first time the other day and enjoying the process of making one using my Christmas stamps, I decided to try out another one but use my Wedding Cuttlebug embossing folders instead.

This is mainly a non-SU card, apart from using the Round Tab Punch, Ribbon and Very Vanilla Cardstock.

Hope you like:

Crafting Day

Hi all,

Hope you're having a good start to the week. Yesterday evening I spent hours online getting inspiration and bookmarked a couple of youtube videos I wanted to try out.

Today, I made it my duty to do some cardmaking to make up for having a craft free weekend ;)
So out came all my craft goodies and hours later I managed to create a few birthday cards, "Pull Treats" and a "Waterfall" card.

Be back tomorrow with pictures as the lighting isn't great this evening.

Bye for now,

Alex

It's Friday!

This will be uploaded in full, after the intended recipients receive this card next week.

Another Male Card

Hi all,

Well have managed to make another male card today. I had a Penny Black image lying around and so I decided to colour it in, add some debossing to the background to resemble a golf ball and made it into a 5x5 card.

Hope you like:


SU Products used are Night of Navy and Garden Green Cardstock.
Stamps are by Penny Black - "Missed You".
Background created with Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Tiny Bubbles - the debossed side to resemble a golf ball.

Male birthday

WOW: What an amazing Men's Final at Wimbledon yesterday! I had planned to do and make so much, but what with the tennis being on, it was hard to pull my eyes away from the tv screen!

Anyway, I've been looking through my stash of cards that I have for when I need one and it occurred to me that I don't have that many cards for men. So I've decided, I'm going to try and make a few more seeing as the cards I predominately make are more female orientated. So, with this in mind, here's a card I made earlier using various Stampin' Up! products:


Stamps: Big Bold Birthday.
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue and Whisper White Cardstock. Patterns Designer Series Paper - Bashful Blue.
Ink Pad: Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue.
Accessories: Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.

Hope to make a few more soon.

Hot Pink Wedding Combo.

Hi all,

Okay, I think it's now safe to say that I can show off the wedding commission. The wedding invitation was a shade of bright hot pink with cream, so I decided to break open my pack of "Bold Brights" colour family and use Pink Passion with some Bazzill Bling that I had in my stash. Below is the matching card and gift card wallet that I made:


Stamps: Mr & Mrs and Happy Hearts.
Cardstock: Pink Passion and Bazzill Bling.
Ink Pad: Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Scallop Edge Border Punch, Stampin' Emboss Powder - Gold.
Non-SU: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Wedding, Nestabilities - Rectangle and Glitterati Gem Adhesives.

Bye for now,
