Wedding season is definitely here...

...since this card is for the 2nd wedding in two weeks. This time it's my brother's best friend (since they were 7 years old). He lucked out like my brother did with finding a wonderful woman, Michele.

I used the CDS with the cartridges Celebrations, Stamped, Tear Drop and Opposites Attract.

And I finally found out how awesome Stickles are! I used lilac to make the dots on the cake stand and platinum for the center of the flowers on top of the cake where the Bride & Groom are (made by using the Inkadinkado stamp, embossing it and cutting it out). For the centers of the other flowers (MM's purple mix) I used Hero Arts 3mm Pearls.

The romance definition on vellum came from DCWV's Love & Wedding Scrapbook in a Kit.

I used fluid chalk and pigments inks to ink the edges of the lettering on the envie.
TFL!!

The Wedding Gift Card...

A coffee card for a coffee machine...

My wedding gift to my brother and his wonderful fiancé was an espresso machine that was on their registry, so of course I had to match the card to the gift.

Mixing cricut cuts, stamping and embossing:
Inkadinkadoo stamps:
-Pick Me Up coffee
-Enough Caffine
-Hand Made with Love
A Muse Artstamps:
-Three Cups
This is my 2nd project embossing the stamps, I think I'll be doing it more often :)
My favorite stuff to use:
-Colorbox Fluid Chalk and Pigment Inks
-I Kan'dee pearlescent chalks
Cricut carts used:
-AE
-Printing Press
K&Company paper

And here are the Wedding Favors...

Well it finally happened! My brother is married and what an extremely fun and exciting day it was! The weather couldn't have been better, in the 70s, sunny and dry. For New England in April that is certainly amazing! Here are what a few of you have been waiting for, pictures of the wedding favor tags that I made for my now sister-in-law. I used corduroy patterned paper and used Doodlecharms for the heart and "frosted" them with I Kan'dee Pearlescent Pastel Chalks. I also got some good use out of my Crop-A-Dile to put in eyelets in for all 95 of them! :)







And I have to add a picture of the very loving and gorgeous couple...

Wedding is almost here!

I was getting a little nervous, my brother's wedding is April 19th and today is the 12th and finally got to sit down and make their card...

I took a small break from the Cricut (except for the Heart on the back of the card and the letters on the envie) and dove back into stamping.

Here's some of the things I used:
Inkadinkado stamps:
-Bride & Groom (which I embossed, cut out and adhered to the card with mini pot dots)
-It's Your Special Day
-May this Wonderful Day...(which I also embossed)

Paper:
-K&Company Smitten Butterflies
-Cranberry cardstock
-DCWV Love Embossed cardstock
-DCWV Wedding Embossed cardstock

Making Memories blossoms & rhinestone brads
Colorbox fluid chalk inks and pigment inks

TFL!!

The Eve of a Very Special Event...

My parents asked me to make name cards for the dinner that we are having the night before my brother's wedding (two weeks from today!). I finally finished them tonight, now onto the tags for the wedding favors, only 95 to make, Ah! :)
