Happy Anniversary Maggie and Ger

Today is my Sister Maggie and Husband Gerald's Wedding Anniversary,

so I wanted to do something a little special for them.

Wish I could take good photos - the colours look so flat here.

Colour combo is Very Vanilla and Gold.

I used the beautiful Fancy Foil Designer Vellum matted onto Gold Foil Sheet.

I used the beautiful new Gold ribbon and added gold hearts,

 punched with the Itty Bitty Accents punch .

"Love" is cut using the retired (but I believe still available in Clearance Rack)

Expressions Thinlits dies.

Happy Anniversary!!

Baby Sis's Engaged!!

I took a phone call today from my baby Sis Anne-Marie, letting us know

that she and her partner Dale got engaged yesterday!

She had put it on Facebook, and I hadn't seen it!

I had Lucas and Lexie all day yesterday, so didn't get a chance to see it!

Anyhow, I have made them this card, and will take it over tomorrow.

Colour combo is Real Red, Silver and White.

The hearts are stamped and cut using the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and matching  Framelits dies.

The scalloped border was cut using the Large Scallop Edgelit.

I used the Expressions Thinlits dies,to cut the "love" sentiment, these are retired now,

 but still available on the Clearance Rack  if you haven't got them .

1/8" Silver ribbon bow and Basic Rhinestone embellishments finish off this CAS card.

Congratulations Anne-Marie and Dale

Merry

Here is the second card that Chris and I made yesterday afternoon.

Colour combo is Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow (I think this is a lovely rich Christmas green),

Crumb Cake and White.

Once again the word "Merry" is from the Expressions Thinlits dies, 

cut from red Glimmer paper- doesn't it look luxurious.  

The word Christmas is from one of the stamps in the More Merry Messages stamp set

The banners are cut from scraps of retired SU Christmas DSP and the button is from my SU stash.

Cherry Cobbler Bakers twine was wrapped round the top layer and threaded through the button also.

That's two Christmas cards made in one week - must be on a roll!!

Love!!

Today I have been over to Chris's (sis-in-law) to have a crafting day together.

We both bought the Expressions Thinlits dies from the Clearance Rack.

(They are still there if you fancy having them too!)

I took a photo of a card on display at Telford last month and used that for inspiration.

Here's my version.

 Colour Combo is Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate and Crisp Cantaloupe

Stamp set is Hearts a Flutter, hearts cut with matching Framelit dies.

Expressions Thinlits dies used to cut the word "love"

Bakers Twine and Basic Rhinestone embellishments.

The flowers are made with 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim in Crisp Canteloupe.

I "love" this card!!
