A couple of cute Wedding cards!

I had kind-of a crazy weekend how was yours? I just love weddings don't you, today I am sharing with you a gift card holder and a card that I made for some cute little brides earlier this summer.  I don't know about you guys but when I make someone a card for a wedding I personalize it by using their wedding colors and their personalities.  I hope you like them!

This is the gift card holder that I absolutely love and so did the bride and groom.  Their wedding colors were really fun and the reception was beautiful. I have to thank Kristina Werner for sharing her awesome creativity with all of us she inspires me all the time.  I learned how to make these gift card holders from her videos and the design of this particular one is from a card that she made. 

 The hearts were made from a Stampin up set and an Inkadinkado set. I cut some hearts by hand and others were from a punch. The "congratulations" stamp is from My Cute Stamps.  The red ink is Stampin' Up & the blue ink is from SEI.  I used the threading water border punch from Fiskars. The ribbon is from my stash and I used silver stickles for the bling. You can't see it in the pictures but I also used glossy accents on the blue hearts.

This card was created for the daughter of a friend of mine, and I was so happy she really liked it.  She is a cute girl and I have gotten to know her a little bit more recently.  I created this card and matching envelope from the Wild card cartridge. I used stamps from My Cute Stamps for the bride and the flowers. I used momento rich cocoa for the ink.  I cut the flowers and banner by hand and added some bling I have on hand from JoAnn's.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you enjoyed my creations today and are inspired to create something for someone you know!

Challenge # 91 at My Craft Spot

Wow two posts in one day!  I had to hurry and post this in time for the challenge over at My Craft Spot.  You had to make something using embossing or glossy accents.  I made another gift card/money holder only this one is for a Birthday!  I will be making a lot of these because I am planning on selling them at a local fair where I do a booth about every other year.  I will post some of my creations as I am getting my inventory made.  This one ended up fitting the theme for this challenge so I decided to share it and enter to win.  Here it is:

Stamps are from Stampin' Up and ink was Momento Tuxedo Black

I used black embossing powder from Stampendous on the stripes

"Birthday" was colored with Pro markers and then covered with glossy accents.

I used a black marker for the foe stitching.

I kept it really simple and love the look!

Thanks for visiting!

Well, I have had a busy day getting these cards done for my card swap group which meets tomorrow night.  We didn't really have a theme this month, it was whatever we wanted to make.  I had a hard time deciding what to do so I checked out some challenge blogs to give me a direction to go and this is what I made:

I used K & Company patterned paper (that I bought a year and a half ago)

Stamps are from My Pink Stamper and Stampin Up

Ink is from Momento-Summer Sky

I used a Stampin Up punch (that I just bought and wanted to use it for the first time)

Pebbles Inc. glitter chalk was used for shading

The ribbon is from my stash

My Friend

My little Trinity was Student of the week last week and part of that was that she could take a treat in and share with her class.  When I asked her what she wanted to do for her treat she said she wanted me to make cupcakes but I explained that the schools don't let us do things like that anymore and what we did would have to be store bought.  So then she looked at me and said "treat bags".  So once again I made some treat bags. 
I made these ones simple and a little smaller.

Patterned paper is from a Colorbok paper pack from Wal-Mart.

circle and scalloped circle were cut from Mini-Monograms cart.

Flower and sentiment stamp both came from My Pink Stamper

Inks used were from SEI, Stampin' Up, and Momento Tuxedo Black.

Thanks for taking a peek today!
