Quick and Easy Wedding Invitations

Well…you may know that I love my wedding invitations!  And Stampin’ Up makes it easy to create so stunning designs even for the tentative crafter!

I’ve made this simply by stamping hearts from the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set in Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush on to Whisper White card, and then adding a sentiment from the Wedding Sweet stamping set.
This doesn’t just have to be for weddings though.  I made this in the same colours but with a sentiment from Vintage Vogue this time:
I know…the picture is a bit wonky….but you get the idea.  It doesn’t have to be difficult to be effective!!
Of course, you can get fancy and add a bit of ribbon, or the odd bit of bling, but I’ve made these for the OLC on Less is More!  Can’t believe I’ve left it soo late!  Hopefully I’ll just get my entry in, just before the new challenge tomorrow .

Summer’s here…for today at least!

And can’t you tell!!  A bit of sun and there’s bikes to be ridden, walks to be had and ice creams to be bought from the irritatingly late ice cream van!  *sigh*. 

All this of course adds up to another late night card.  I have lots on me list but I wanted to get a card made for my fave challenge, Less is More.  This week Chrissie and Mandi have a sketch for us:

 

 

And here’s my card for the week.

Using Vintage Vogue from Stampin’ Up!, I’ve stamped flowers in Daffodil Delight and Concord Crush, cut them out and layered them up.  I’ve stamped a flowery border in Concord Crush top and bottom on a strip of Whisper White and then I’ve attached the flowers using a brads to mimic the sketch.

It’s quite a simple card, but still very effective.  Love these two colours together and I’m loving the vintage look too!

So I’d love to know what you think….

Thanks for reading

Vintage Vogue Birthday

Morning all!  I’m in the pink today.  Remember the colleague that needed cards for his wife?  I made the card for his boys to give to mum and this is the one for him to give.  Requirements were “something in pink, and ‘with love to me wife’”.  So here it is:

Now I’ve cased this card from the very talented Julie Kettlewell’s beautiful Silver Wedding card.  I’ve stamped Vintage Vogue flowers in Melon Mambo and Blushing Bride and layered them together.  I’ve arranged the flowers on a matted A5 card with a little bit of foliage die cut  in Old Olive.

I’ve added dimension to the flowers by shaping them with my bone folder before constructing them. 

I’ve also 3d’d them to the front of the card to give them more dimension.

Now I did decorate the inside of this card as well….but alas forgot to take the photo *sigh*.

He seemed to like it….I hope his wife does too!

I’m going to enter this in the following challenges:

Simon Says {Bingo - Flowers, Brads, Sentiment}
