English Garden with Happy Notes for a Wedding Card

Hello and 

Happy Friday! Yay, it's nearly the weekend and as I'm off work it's a winner for me ;-) Hopefully I can carve out some time in my craft room as well! I'm seriously trying to get ahead with my projects for the next few weeks (including my 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes, Tuesday Videos and my upcoming Cardmaking Classes also) and therefore I will have plenty bits I can share with you here. 

But onto todays post first. I'm going to share a card I made ages ago for a friends wedding. Sadly we were unable to attend on the day but I did want to make the happy couple a card. I decided on a vintage style so this is what I came up with...

 I used English Garden DSP and overlaid it with some of the yummy gold Vellum from from the Christmas "Winter Wonderland" stack. 

I loved this look - soft and rich with gold and I don't think it looks christmas-y at all!

Here you can see how I attached this Vellum using the fab new fine tip glue pen.
TIP: Add tiny dots of glue just behind some of the gold dots on the vellum and voila, no glue showing and it's stuck down firmly! Just don't squeeze the pot as this glue is quite runny!

This sentiment is from Happy Notes, love the retro font.

 I die cut the sentiment and names in a banner style using with the Lots of Labels Framelits, adding dimensionals to the inner section and glueing the outer edges down flat.

A little strip of matching layered paper inside

Ok, that's all from me for today, tomorrow is Week 3 in my 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes so be sure to stop by then! CLUE: Sneak Peek on Instagram soon....

Two New Home Cards Using Sheltering Tree by Stampin' Up!

Hi there,

I hope you have had a good weekend? We have been out and about with birthday parties and errands so it's been busy as usual, but it was dry at least ;-) Hopefully tomorrow will be a crafting day here though as I have quite a list of cards to make!

So, this evening I have two cards for two dear friends who were both moving last week. I decided to use the same stamp set, Sheltering Tree, and just change up the colours to suit both a man and a woman to make these cards...

 Let's start with the more masculine version. I used Mint Macaron and Night of Navy for this card...

 The little birds in the tree are from the White Christmas stamp set,

 This sentiment is from the Happy Notes stamp set, I inked just the sentiment part using a ,marker and punched it out with the 1+3/4" circle punch...

 ...and added a few little stars, again from White Christmas.

 And here is the more feminine version in a Pink Pirouette and Pool Party colourway

 I was inspired by my friend Zoe Tant to add these little flowers to the tree, thanks Zoe :-)

I used the same sentiment but punched it with the scalloped circle punch and added more flowers for this version

 A (retired) pool party seam binding bow but you could use Pink Pirouette seam binding instead which is still available.

 and a top view to finish this card :-)

And one more picture together to finish tonight

I think they liked their cards and I hope you did too, do let me know in the comments :-)

Thanks for stopping by today,

Stampin' Hugs,
