Beautiful You

The butterfly and sentiment strip/ tag are by K & Company.

I embossed some pink card in my Cuttlebug and then roughly swiped a Versamark pad over, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and then brushed some off in places before heating. I wanted random parts of gold not an all-over coverage.

Congratulations

Sentiment is Paper Smooches

Spotted lines stamp is Hero Arts - the actual stamp is larger so I just stamped half of it here.

Inspired by a Nichole Heady card.

Merry Christmas

Using up some ancient stash.
Paper is HOTP, it was from QVC back when I would stay up until midnight to see what the craft TSV was going to be.
Sentiment panel - goodness knows where that came from.

Challenge

This is my entry for the SU challenge over on Clair's blog.
The theme this month is 'Starstruck'.
I have used Sizzix dies for the stars and SU punches and Oval All stamp set for the sentiment.

Wedding

The final of the three very-rushed wedding cards.

I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the vellum piece at the bottom of the card (I cut the vellum larger than I needed so I could tape it at the back of the gold card to attach it without showing any adhesive).

The sentiment is a K & Co. rub-on. These have to be among the worst rub-ons I have ever used.

Eventually the rub-on did actually rub-on but it left marks on the card hence me trying to cover them up with self-adhesive gems, grrrr.

I hate the placement of the gems and should have started again but by that point I was so fed up it just had to do!

Wedding

I recently had to make three wedding cards for an order.

I knew what I was going to do and ordered the stash necessary, unfortunately it did not arrive in time and then we had an emergency at home so I was very pushed for time.

I'm not happy with the resulting cards but here they are anyway.

I used HOTP swirl stamps to liven up the plain lilac card, the white card has a gorgeous gold sheen to it and has been embossed with my Cuttlebug.

Sentiment was done on the computer.

Vintage Vogue

This was the card we made to match the handbag on my previous post.
All products SU.
I think I *need* this stamp set, love it.

Our technique this week (as well as learning how to make the bag) was the paper ruffle across the card, so simple to do.

I've loved all the SU projects we have done so far, what I really like is that we have been *mostly* using two or three core colours (pink, green, brown) each week and yet each project looks so different.

Wedding

This was a card that ended up nothing like what the customer asked for....
Sentiment is computer generated, butterflies strategically placed to hide random lumpy bits (think it was double sided tape showing through!).
Gorgeous shimmer paper is 'Elegance' by K & Co, charcoal grey card is fill-a-wallet. Border punch is by Martha Stewart.

Matching box, I left the silver thread untied so that the customer would not have to fiddle about with it ;)

Mini tags are stamped and punched using Stampin' Up Medium Jewelry Tag punch (US spelling for 'jewellery'!) and Stampin' Up Tiny Tags stamps

Waltzingmouse

Two similar Christmas cards.

Both made using Nestabilities dies and Waltzingmouse stamps.

The top one is SU cardstock and ribbon, the bottom is some very old K & Company paper.

Green strip on top card was made using Cuttlebug embossing die and some gems for interest.

Celebrate

Magnolia image coloured with Copics and highlighted with Glamour Dust.
Sentiment is a Sizzlit die and gems have been dotted about on the cardstock. Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.
