Elegant Ever After

Hi everyone! June is almost here and it's the time of year for brides and grooms to unite so I thought that I would start stocking up on wedding cards :) For this one, I used the JustRite Quiet Moments set from Stamper's Dream to create the sentiment in the middle of my engineered dies motif.

To create both the center piece and the gorgeous Fleur de Lis cut outs, I used the Fleur de Lis Doily Accents Shapabilities and cut apart some of them to make the circle creation. For the corner pieces and the border, I die cut some vellum and then ran it through my xyron to make it sticky so that I could add some transparent glitter. Now I have to admit that this was a bit tricky and got a little sketchy at times with me wearing more of the glitter than the vellum but I think that it was worth the effort because the end result is so soft and rich in real life (it was hard to get the sparkle in the picture).

To finish off the card I added some stitching and a handmade flower with a stick pin to some beautiful silk ribbon. I then added some wee little pearls and this card was finished off and ready to attach to a bridal present :)

Thanks for coming by today and I hope to see you around here again soon :)

As usual, I water coloured this image with my tombows and added both white and black chalk to define it. I then sponged around the image with some blue inks to add a little pizzaz and to set off the ice cream I added some sprinkles of glitter :) The effect is really quite lovely in real life :D

Simple Gift Idea

Hi everyone! I was cleaning my craft room the other day in search of my mojo and instead of finding said mojo, I came across a box of alterable items :) I found these magnetic bookmarks that I purchased from Michaels many moons ago and decided that it was going to be perfect for a quick and simple gift idea - or something that you could tuck in with a card :D

This is what the magnet started out looking like and all it took was a strip of designer paper and some double sided adhesive to start the transformation.

And here is the finished product using the "Relax & Enjoy" sentiment from the JustRite Charmed Cling Mounted set. I stamped it on some ivory paper and heat embossed it to add a little elegance. I then sponged around the sentiment and then added it to my altered die cut.

Since I wanted to have a nice presentation of the bookmark, I created a little base for it and then added the to/from sentiment from the JustRite Fancy Nested Frames set.This not only looks nice, but it can be added to a present like a gift tag or tucked in with a card as a nice little surprise.

This would make a great addition to go with a purchased book as a gift or to go alongside of a gift card to your favourite book store :D Thanks for coming by today and we will see you all soon :D
