Invitations

Once I made someone's wedding stationery.
 I swore blind I would never do it again because I hated the repetitiveness of it. Then last year I compromised and did a small order, swearing again that it would be the last time.

This weekend I found myself doing a bulk order of invitations, I couldn't say no.
The wording is from a set of clear stamps by Habico, punch is 'Lattice Hearts' by Martha Stewart.
'50' in the bottom right corner is Sizzix Block Party.

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

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

Marriage

I made this card at craft club and before I had finished it one of the other ladies asked if she could buy it from me. I think I would have liked some ribbon or some gems at the bottom but did not like to change it after agreeing to sell it in case she did not like the additions.

So, Martha Stewart punch for the border.

The vellum quote is from a very old book by DCWV, I found some of these books in my stash and am determind to use them up, attached with brads.

I have no idea who the patterned paper is by which is a shame because it's gorgeous and I'd like some more, has a lovely sheen to it.
