To The Happy Couple Wedding A2 Card

Hello and welcome back!

With June approaching, it turns my thoughts towards weddings. I'm not sure why other than it seems to be the traditional month for getting married. As large as our family is though, we haven't any anniversaries coming up in June.

This A2 card has some beautiful rose lace trim, a fancy silver die-cut frame, and a pair of 3-D doves.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Official Notice of Marriage

Hello and welcome!
I hope you are all doing well, and nearly ready for the Christmas holidays. I wish I could say I have some Christmas cards to share, but I haven't been able to create any this year and I completely forgot to photograph the tags I made. I had a ball making and using them... just totally I didn't think to get pictures.

I do however, have a wedding card to show you that I did for a friend of my daughter's who was married in the fall. Lovely and lacy, with a very vintage look with whites, ivorys, and creamy shades of old papers, laces and appliqués. I added touches of Vintage Photo Distress ink to simulate tea-staining.

For bling, a pearl and rhinestone setting to the tatted thread on the mini tag. The perfect bit of glamour.
Thanks dear friends for stopping by!

A Wedding Couple Pocket Card

Hello and Happy Monday!
It's a beautiful fall day here with lots of sunshine. Perfect for showing off the gorgeous colors of the leaves.
I have one more wedding card to share with pretty much the same papers as my previous card.

The wedding couple are part of the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls by Idea-ology. They're surrounded with lots and lots of lace and appliqués. I've added pearl trim and a rhinestone heart setting I purchased on an Etsy shop. The pretty plain white flowers are from I Am Roses. My bow is a mix of white Joann's organza and wrinkled seam binding ribbon.

Thank you for the visit. Please stop back again!

Congratulations Pocket Card for The Happy Couple

Hi and welcome back friends!

Another wedding card? What can I say. I'm just in the mood for lace and pearls. This card has a Prima paper base and a tea-stained doily and coffee filter envelope.

For the closure, I used an Etsy shop pearl and rhinestone setting. I have several layers of lace on here and a stamped and gold heat embossed Congratulations sentiment.

In the top left corner is an appliqué with an I Am Roses white bloom and another pearl and rhinestone setting with white enameled flowers. My bow on the tag is wrinkled seam binding ribbon and lace.
Thanks for the visit. Please stop by again soon!

Always & Forever Pocket Card

Hello and welcome back!

Up today is another wedding pocket card. This one's a mix of lovely Kaisercraft papers, tea-stained papers, a paper doily, and Tim Holtz products.

This features an Idea-ology Found Relatives bride and groom photo with a double frame made with Spellbinder's Oval Floral die set and Hobby Lobby glitter paper with patterned cardstock. The fabric flower is from Prima, the bow is wrinkled seam binding and Joann's organza ribbon, and the pearl and rhinestone setting is from an Etsy shop.

It's loaded with laces and appliqués. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Metallic Quotations Sticker. 

I love this card!

Thanks for stopping by!

On Your Wedding Day!

Welcome! I hope you're having a wonderful day!

I have a wedding card to share with you. With lots of lace and appliqués, not to mention pearls and rhinestones, this card is ready for the big event!

The image is from an older Graphic 45 collection on a base of an old Prima paper teamed up with tea-stained copy paper and some other scrap papers.

The flowers are from I Am Roses. The die-cut heart grouping is cut from white glitter paper with a Simon Says Stamp Clipping Heart Wafer Die.

The rhinestone and pearl setting was purchased on Etsy.
Thanks for stopping by!

Forever Anniversary/Wedding Pocket Card

Hello friends and welcome on this wonderful weekend!

I have an anniversary/wedding pocket card up today in the shabby chic style I'm loving to create right now.

This one is loaded with laces and trims and appliqués not to mention tea stained papers. The cute bird die-cut and the one that says Moments are part of the Kaisercraft Collectables Anthology pack.

I've sprinkled I Am Roses white blooms and pearl stamens here and there along with pretty half pearls. On this heart lace trim I've attached a silver garment pin holding some dangle beads.

My handmade tiny envelope holds an equally tiny silver glitter heart.
Have a fabulous weekend to all... and thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations Pocket Card

Hello and welcome!

I'm excited to show you this pocket card I created that could be used as a wedding or anniversary card. There's that variety I was talking about in my last post. I guess the Penmaker is right... isn't he always! 💕

I pulled together some of the lighter, plainer patterns from the Prima Georgia Blues collection for the base, mats and tag. For the focal point image I cut a section from one of the more decorative sheets with the foiling. Sigh... I love this collection. 

For frills I used a paper doily, a piece of vintage Prima gray satin trim, some vintage gray embroidered trim, and some new Joann's white lace with pearls. I added on one of my homemade lace embellishments trimmed up with a pin and pearl dangle.

The bow on my tag is white sari silk purchased on Ebay. The flower is handmade from parts of a vintage Prima flower, lace, and a pearl. The other flowers are new Prima stock. The chipboard butterfly sticker is from the GB collection. The glitter paper came from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks so much for stopping and I have a great week!

May Your Life Together Be Full of Love Wedding Card

Hello there!

Sorry for being MIA for so long. My health hasn't improved over the summer as much as I would have liked and standing at my desk to work is not an option right now. I do however have another card I created some time back from the Scrapbook Super Station card kit Kaiser Rose Avenue.

This is a tri-fold card featuring Kaisercraft's lovely Rose Avenue collection.

Hope you like it!

I'll try to post again as soon as I'm able. I've been thinking of moving my supplies to the dinning room table, but that doesn't seen to practical. Anyway, I'll work on coming up with some way to create. I'm really missing it.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Together Is A Beautiful Place To Be Card

Hello and Happy Monday! 

This is stacking up to be a very busy week for the Penmaker and me, so I'll get right to today's card. It's a top folding A2 anniversary or wedding card. I created this with the Kaiser Rose Avenue card kit from Scrapbook Super Station.

I did make some modifications to this one just like the others I made from this kit. I feel I need to put my own touches on the cards so they are truly mine. I added a bouquet of I Am Roses mini rosebuds in place of the flowers that came with the kit, but I tied them with the silver metallic thread and attached the charm as they suggested.

The materials in this kit are lovely... like this charm and pink half pearls.

I also changed up the sentiment die-cut to make this an anniversary/wedding card, and layered on an additional mat of pink patterned paper.

I'm nearly finished with this kit, so I'm seeing a trip to Butler, PA coming up in our future. Maybe I'll see you there.

Thanks for stopping by!
