SRM Wedding Ensemble

Hi there! Today I have a post up on the SRM blog :)  It's my birthday so you really should go check it out!  

Fine.....here it is:   I created a wedding set using SRM tubes and stickers:

 Here is the card:

I used the Swoon collection (Little Yellow Bicycle) on the bottom of the card.  I layered the SRM sticker on some cardstock and then matted it over a cardboard frame (LYB).  I added the ribbon pleated embellishment (LYB), some stick pins (LYB), the felt flower and a rub on.  The white SRM sentiment along the bottom was offset by some rhinestones.  I finished by inking all edges with Tea Dye Distress ink.

And here are the tubes, dressed in their finest attire:

 

For the tubes, I used two different Silhouette files.  The dress file was actually to make a dress box but I ended up altering it (excuse the pun!) to make it just a dress.  I cut it with my silhouette and then embossed it with the Textile embossing folder (Cuttlebug; Provocraft) and then sponged over the pattern with Antique Lined distress ink (Ranger) and then I added some pearls.  I cut the tux out using black, silver and white cardstock.  I rolled some Marachino baker's twine (The Twinery) to create a little rose boutonniere for the tuxedo.   I filled the tubes with some candies and then added some stickers along the bottom.

SRM products I used are: Skinny Tubes (#38004)

Stickers-
Say it with Stickers- Anniversary (#39029)
We've Got Your Sticker- Forever (#53008)

JustRite Wedding Card

Hello! Today I have a simple wedding card to share with you:For this card, I used one of the stamps from Romantic Sentiments by JustRite (temporarily sold out!) and framed it with a 2" Square Decorative Frame by JustRite. I embellished around the frame with some decorative pearls and then added a touch of velvet ribbon to add some texture.

You can find lots of JustRite products......and many more stamps, embellishments, paper, etc. at Stamper's Dream store!


Have a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Gina K Preview Day 2

Hello! Today is Gina K Designs Preview Day 2 and the design team is showing two new sets today that will be released on Thursday night.

Here is a peek at Rupa Shevde's new set called With this Ring: I created a simple wedding or anniversary card with this set. The heart is stamped on vellum and colored. I added little crystals to the centers. The sentiment is attached using eyelets and ribbon (May Arts).

This set is classic and so pretty.

Simple Sunday

Here is a simple card I created for one of the Gina K challenges last month. I forgot to post it so here it is!

Donna issued a challenge to create a card with-
1 ribbon
2 layers
3 embellishments (of your choice but must be same type of embellishment)

This is what I came up with:
Simple and elegant. Since I needed a wedding card, I used the challenge for this! The image is from Heartfelt Hits I (Gina K Designs) and the ribbon is also from Gina K Designs Pure Luxury line. I embossed the background with the textile Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I am just bouncing off the walls about another Pure Luxury edition Gina is releasing this Thursday! Wait till you see.........

LOTS of fun stuff to show you this week---I will be back at midnight on Monday night to begin the Gina K New Release Blog Tour--see you then!

Thanks for stopping by!
