Cards at last

I have two cards to share today. Both are for Birthdays and were made over the weekend and this evening. I have been busy with some other cards recently for the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen April Challenge - you can find out about this here.

Both of these were stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Copics

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Dare to Get Dirty

I have worked my socks off on the DTGD challenges this week completing 34 of the 49.  My teeny little craft room looks like a whirl wind has hit so I really need to tidy, clean and sort out.  I have had tremendous fun with all the challenges and made a lot of Christmas cards.  Thanks to all the wonderful Splitcoast hostesses.

I am sorry there are a lot of photos but here goes - which is your favourite?

Laura & James Wedding Day

Today is a very special day in the lives of a young couple Laura & James who cement their love for each other by getting married today.  We are privileged to be at the celebrations and to share in this happy occasion. 

In keeping with the theme of the city and the colours of the wedding I made them this card.  I have used dies, my Cricut and some stamps from Marks Finest Papers.

Here are some views of my card

I have also made the name tags for the wedding reception and I will post some pictures of those tomorrow.

FOSTV78 - Let's Add Some Sparkle to Life

Hello and welcome to a new week - the last one of June - scary how quickly time flies!

Last week we made Birthday cards and that was a hit with everyone so hopefully this week's challenge "Cards that Sparkle" or "Add some Sparkle" will be as well.

I used a card base (the handbag) that I have had for ages with the peacocks set (Be a Showoff) and handbag set (You've Got Style) from Marks Finest Papers.  Sticking on the sequins was a challenge but other than that the card came together easily.  I used metallic pencils and H2Os to give a sheen to my card.  Gems and the sequins give the sparkle.

FOSTV77 - Birthday

It's Birthday Party time at Friends of Speedy TV this week and you can join in by making a card.  Join in the fun by going to the FOSTV page and checking out Challenge 77 - you can also check out all the creations by my team mates. 

My card today uses some of the paper left after Cricut images were cut when making this card but I didn't use the spotty paper in the end anyway!  The red paper is stamped with all the kitchen items from Recipe Card Starters and Recipe Completer and then the two women are given nice Birthday treats to hold - cake and flowers (stamped on shrink plastic).  The cake is from Celebrate Big and the flower and the sentiment from Hum Along. 

There will be a prize for one person entering the FOSTV challenge this week and if you use Marks Finest Papers stamps you double your chances!

Enjoy the challenge and have a good week.
