Simon Says Stamp! - Heart Breeze Wedding

Happy Saturday!

Last week I shared a wedding card I made for a co-worker of Mark's.  This week I have the other options I made, so they would have some to choose from.  I used Simon Says Stamp "Heart Breeze" die, which I love.  The perfect die for anniversary, Valentine's Day and wedding cards.

Second version:
The "Best Wishes" are from a PaperTrey Ink set "Fillable Frames #4" and the Mr. and Mrs. is from an old Craft's Meow set.

Cardstock is from PaperTrey Ink - Pure Poppy, True Black, White and Vellum.

A|Muse - Seasonal Branch - Wedding


Happy Sunday!

Today I have a wedding card to share.  Mark came home last week and asked if I would make a wedding card for a young engineer in their group who just got married.  No one was invited to the wedding, but yet they thought they should have a card and gift card for him when he gets back from his honeymoon. 

So, what kind of card do you make for a male co-worker?  I went with a set I've had for years - Seasonal Branch from A|Muse, which unfortunately is no longer in business. Since it was a Fall wedding, I went with colorful Fall leaves.  Then, added a couple die cut birds (Memory Box - Resting birds) to the branch and a heart.  It was good to use things I already had and I hadn't used the birds yet either.  The Congratulations is from Our Daily Bread, discontinued, and I think they are now called Divinity Designs. 

The ink colors are PaperTrey ink - Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy, Terracotta Tile, Ripe Avocado and Summer Sunrise.  PTI papers White, Dark Chocolate, Spring Rain (birds) and Pure Poppy (Heart).

Your Next Stamp - Lacrosse Birthday


Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card I made for my niece, who will be 21 on Monday.  She plays Lacrosse in college and also coaches in the summer.  When I saw this set from Your Next Stamp I just had to get it.  It is called Sports Fanatics Lacrosse.

Close Up:


I colored the image with Copic markers.  Both in High school and now at Purdue her colors are Black, White and Gold, so I added a bit of gold paint to the gloves, stick and shoes.  The background was stamped with all the great words in this set.  Added some black and white stripe accent as a nod to the referee uniforms.  The card came together pretty quickly.

Stampin' UP - Home to Roost

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card to share.  During Stampin' Ups Sale-a-bration last Spring I bought a few things and this set, Home to Roost, was free with my purchase.  

I used my Arteza watercolor pens.  I really love these pens, so easy to use and such vibrant colors.  The papers are PaperTrey Ink, Black, Hawaiian Shores and Pure Poppy.
