Happy Anniversary Toast

I know this is a bad picture but it it really does look nice in person.  This card would make a great Anniversary card or change the sentiment and it makes a really pretty Wedding Card.  This card really took me a long time to come up with.  I had the idea of the 2 glasses clinking but I could never come up with the rest of the card.  Then last weekend when we went to Janet Wakeland's for a demo training we made a card which was my inspiration to finish.

The supplies that I used for this card were:

STAMP SETS:  Teeny Tiny Wishes, Embellished Events
PAPER:  Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Silver Foil Sheets, Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum
INK:  Smokey Slate
ACCESSORIES:  Itty Bitty Banner Framelits, Modern Label Punch, Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Jewel Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

This is the card that we made at Janet's that helped me finish my card.  I liked the way the Vellum was used with the Silver Foil and the Silver Ribbon.  So I CASE'd that section of the card and added the Champagne Glasses and sentiment.  I think the combination of ideas worked out well.  

The supplies used for this card were:

STAMP SET:  Perfect Couple
PAPER:  Pool Party, Whisper White, Silver Foil Sheets, Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum
INK:  Versamark
ACCESSORIES:  Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Heart Framelits, Big Shot, Dimensionals

The top card is one of the 10 that I have prepared for my All Occasion SAS.  It will be held on MArch 23 @ 1 PM.  If you are interested in attending and would like more information, contact me.  Enjoy the day!

Name Cards for The Wedding

The wedding will be here soon!  My week is going to be crazy getting ready for the wedding on Saturday.  I am starting to get nervous but I am sure that everything will be perfect when the time comes.  My daughter asked me to also make the name cards for the reception.  So I did and of course I can't do simple name cards.  I had to spice them up a bit.  So here is a picture of one.  I liked the way they turned out and I am hoping that she will like them also.


The supplies that I used for these cards were:


PAPER:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla
INK: Versamark
ACCESSORIES:  Decor Wheel, Black Embossing Powder, Designer Frames Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Wide Oval Punch, Dimensionals


Like I said, the countdown is on.  You would think that this being the second child getting married I would be more calm, but I am not.  So I am off today to babysit the ring bearer who just came.  So I am now in my Grandma role.  Enjoy your day!

The Wedding Invites

Well, I can finally tell you who these wedding invitations, favors, favor boxes, ect. are for.  They are for my daughter who is getting married in February.  We all like him and are very happy that they found each other and are getting married.  I have been working feverishly the last few months to get everything done.

  

She is having a small wedding which has a more vintage feel to it.  Her gown is Ivory and her Matron of Honor will be wearing Black.  The wedding is going to be done in Black and Ivory.  There will not be an accent color used but will be clean, simple and elegant.  So when coming up with  the invitation, I needed to convey the same elements of clean, simple, and elegant to the invite.

I wanted to post the invite but I promised my daughter that I would not show their information if she would allow me to post it on my blog.  That is why I took pictures that only show the design and not the wording.  

The supplies that I used for this project were:

STAMP SET:  Lovely Letters

PAPER:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black

INK:  Versamark

ACCESSORIES:  Scallop Trim Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Basic Black Satin Ribbon, Decor Wheel, Black Embossing Powder, Sticky Strip

I typed off and ran off the wording of the invitations, the response cards, and the directions to the reception.  There was no stamping on those items except the design.  All in all I was very happy with how they turned out .  My daughter and her fiance seemed to be happy with them also. I hope that you like them also.  Well another busy day.  Today I am starting my Christmas cards.  I put everything on hold to finish these projects.  So now I am ready to jump in with everyone else to get overwhelmed by the Christmas rush.  Enjoy your day!
