Hobby House Wedding Couple

This is a card I have made for a friend's wedding. I have used a 7x7 pearl card blank for the base and added a craft card layer. On top of this is have used papers from First Edition pad 'Isabelle'. All the layers on the card have had the edges distressed with Tea Dye Distress Ink. Across the middle of the card I have added 2 layers of Duchess Lace from Creative Expressions. The main topper is from the Hobby House Sylvia Zet collection - 'Love Me Do'. I have cut the image out using Spellbinders dies Labels Two and also created a matt with the same dies. There are 2 panels behind the topper and these have been created using more papers from the First Edition pad and cut with Scalloped Labels One. They have been matted onto Decorative Labels One shapes cut from craft card. At the top and bottom of the card I have edged the paper with a gorgeous cream woven style ribbon. The flowers and pearl pins were from my stash; I have picked colours from the main image and built it all up from there. The little sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the foliage has been created using Tattered Lace dies. Again, a box is needed for this one!

A New Baby Boy!

Ok, so it's not hard to guess the theme here! There seems to be a trend for lots of babies where I work at the moment...
Anyway, I wanted to make something for my friend, so here was the prefect excuse to make a bag charm again! I ordered some baby charms and had fun choosing blue and clear beads to make the charm.





 The card has been made using a Lili of the Valley image coloured with Promarkers as well as one of their funky sentiments. The elements were layered onto Spellbinders Circles Large and Scalloped Circles, as well as a Decorative Labels One die. The stars were cut using my Cricut machine and the Essentials cartridge. A small piece of lace and some buttons were used to bring it all together.

Something Just for You

 

This is another 8x8 card, again using 2 colours to matt and layer (I think I have a repetitive theme going on here...) Both card stocks are matt, with the pink being very 'dusky'. The centre panel has been embossed using the Crafts Too Lattice folder and the main border along the bottom is the Tattered Lace Chantilly Rose die. I have used three Spellbinders layers to set off the main sentiment.
The one right at the back is a Decorative Labels One plain die cut, the next is a Labels One shape (stamped with a pattern) for the middle and the top is a sentiment from the Just Rite Winged Vintage Labels Two & Three set, cut with the matching die. I have also found some matching plain seam binding style ribbon and a pink dazzler to hold the bow together. The swirls are from Creative Expressions.
