From This Day Forward Wedding Card

Today's card was made for a friends wedding this weekend.

I took the attached idea and went my own way with it.......

The stamp and sentiment are from the From This Day Forward stamp set and stamped in Night of Navy.  The little bits are then coloured in with Daffodil Delight yellow marker.  I then used some paper from the Poetry Prints stack and a couple of pearls at the top.

I have to admit I used a very similar style for my parents Sapphire wedding anniversary recently.  Very simple and easy yet classy design.

Thanks so Much Sunset Card

This card was made at a recent card class I went to run by Jo French see her blog here.  She demoed how to do the sunset and hills technique using sponges to bring the colours in.  I think from memory I used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delighy and Early Espresso Stampin Up Inkpads.

The hills were done by tearing some paper and using this as a template, moved around to make the hills different.

The tree stamp is one that I have had for years and is not branded but you can get a very similar one from Stampin Up in the Lovely as a Tree set.

The Thanks so Much sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set.

Stampin Up Whole Lot of Love - Thank You Card

I made this little card using he Whole Lot of Love stamp set.  I stamped the bird without the heart in its mouth, in Island Indigo.  The words were from the Happy watercolour stamp set from the Spring Catalogue, stamped in Tangerine Tango.

The card was layered up on Tangerine Tango card stock, punched at the bottom with the scallop ribbon punch.  This was then all layered up onto Island Indigo patterned card stock from the Christmas catalogue and then onto plain Island Indigo card stock.

Simply Stars Thank You Card

This card was made using the Simply Stars set on a white card blank.  I stamped using Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding.

I made this card as a one layer card which are fab for posting......what more can I say.

Hunkydory Wedding Cards

Here are a selection of lovely wedding cards made using three Hunkydory sheets from their Milestones collection.  The set comes with an A4 sheet of toppers and two A4 background sheets, one decorative and one foiled.  From these sheets I made these four cards, plus another one not included in the photos.

I really love the simplicity of these kits, they enable me to make a batch of cards even if I have no inspiration to do my stamping cards.

Hunkydory Congratulations and Men's Birthday Card

Today's cards are a bit different.... As much as I love Stampin Up and other stamps I occasionally fancy a more simple approach to card making and this generally involves Hunkydory.

These cards are made from the Milestones Hunkydory Set which included three A4 sheets, one with the toppers, one a decorated backing card and the third being a decorated backing card with foiling.  From these three sheets I made these two cards, plus have enough bits left to do another two cards, what a bargain.

Aviary Birthday and Thank You Cards

Here are a couple of photos from the lovely Aviary set, sorry another retired set.

The cards are a selection of birthday and thank you cards using crumb cake, chocolate chip, cherry cobbler and pacific point.
