Happy New Year!!

I fully enjoyed my family at Christmas and over New Year's, so I have been absent on the blog! But, I'm hoping to get back to creating this week. 

Here is my "leftover" card from December. We were guests at a Tuesday evening wedding at a beautiful venue and there was a Christmas theme. I thought that the white on white card was perfect and that black would appropriately accent here and there on the card front.

Thank you for following my blog and I hope you are signed up to receive each and every notice of post. May 2018 be your best year yet!

"Best Decision Ever" in Purples

What better way to welcome a new member of my stamping community than to make her a special card? I'm so happy to have two new ladies purchase their Starter Kit (AKA Ultimate Bundle!) this month. 

I used Blackberry Bliss card stock for the Bloomin' Heart and then I cut out Rich Razzleberry flowers to layer on top. Pearls finish off the beautiful heart shape and accent either side of the sentiment that is heat embossed onto a strip of Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum. The sentiment is part of a stamp set called "Best Decision Ever."

Thank you for looking today! During the month of February when you purchase $155 worth of product for $99 (free shipping), you will also receive this card from me! I love making cards! Join me today!

White Wedding CASE

I am blessed to be part of a large Stampin' Up! community and we have lots of ways to share our ideas, creations and our lives with one another. This card was made after one by Nancy Gleason.  

She had a different "congratulations" stamp than I used, however I made the rest of the card just like she did.   
 

I will be using this card in one week for a special young couple who is getting married at our church. I'm looking forward to a beautiful day in a beautiful place to witness their marriage.

Wedding Shower Tag

Wedding Shower Gift Tag

I went to a wedding shower last weekend and I created a tag for my gift using the Bloomin' Hearts Thinlits Die and Gold Foil Paper. My Hearts Collection Framelits (retired) perfectly cut a heart background from Blushing Bride (appropriate name!) Glimmer Paper.

The Pink Pearls, string of pearls, sequins and Blushing Bride Satin Ribbon come from the Love Blossoms Embellishments Kit. The sentiment is from Tin of Cards and is embossed using White Embossing Powder. The heart shape is cut using the heart from Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies.

The tissue is really gold, but shows yellow in the photo.

Here is how the tag looked on the bag. Sorry, the bag doesn't fit into my light box for a better photo! 

This is a photo of the bouquet that will be used for the rehearsal.  (You can see my tag peeking out underneath). All of the bows and tissue paper from the shower gifts were carefully put together. Isn't it lovely?

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will come back soon. I hope you leave a comment for me--I love to read each one!
