One more wedding card

Today I am sharing another wedding card.  I used the same stamp and same ribbon but different papers and sketch from this one from last Friday - and this card gives a very different feel:

This one seems much softer, don't you agree?    

I was really uncomfortable when I was asked to prepare wedding cards but now that I've made two, I'm happy to report that my comfort zone has expanded! :)

Happy Wedding Day

My mom asked me for two wedding cards and I'm happy to oblige.

But I must say that I don't make that many wedding cards........ so I need to get some inspiration.  As usual, I went to my stash and checked those items that are love-themed.  I found an older set of Close to My Heart paper called Veranda (still love this paper although it is rather old).  That's perfect!

I used a sketch from Make it from Your Heart to create this card:

Guess what?  I've spent more time looking for the right products than making the card itself.  Well, it happens very often but this time, search for the products look at least 5 times as long as making the card. :P  Is that a sign that I should purge more?

Hello!

I love sending Hello cards.  It is one of the most versatile type of cards - great for lazy crafters like me.

Hello cards are similar to all-purpose cards for me.  It says "Hello" on the outside but you could write anything you like on the inside.

When I made the V-day mermaid card last week, I colored additional images and of course I'm making a second card with them:

Simple and neat, right?  I used several shades of blue for the sea, and a dark shade of blue for the card base.  Although it is a mermaid on the card front, the blues could make it a guy card.  Love this idea! :)

Mermaids

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and love card challenge is everywhere!

Over the years I have bought a lot of V-day products but never have much opportunity to use them.  Inspired by the challenges I decided to break open some of my products and play with them.

I've made a card using Mermaid for You from Lawn Fawn:

Yes, it is another clear card!  I still have the pack of clear cards laying on my desk and I can't resist using it!

This Mermaid for You set is so fun and while I have the supplies ready, I've made a Hello card for my friend whom I haven't seen for a while.

Just us girls - hearts

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentine's Day!

Whale you be mine?

Although I am quite romantic at heart (since I was a romance novel junkie) I am not too big on celebrating V-day.  Once upon a time I saw a movie where the boyfriend pisses off his girlfriend as he took her to some random non-romantic places to dinner with his friends on V-day.  They broke up soon as girlfriend thought he wasn't a romantic person.  Boyfriend argued that V-day had nothing to do with romance as it was just an occasion for business to encourage consumers to spend.  Boy did he piss off his girlfriend?

As for me, I make V-day cards just for fun.  I also notice that I have many sets dedicated to V-day that haven't seen any ink yet.  Oops.  So to give my stamps some love, I decided to make a V-day card.

It's a clear card!  Isn't it fun to switch up the card base to something other than cardstock?

A little bunny says....

Happy Easter!

Alright I know it's not even Valentine's Day  but I'm already posting an Easter card.  But I really want to play with Easter Bunny, Stamp of the Month in February offered by Close to My Heart.

I like that there are three bunnies, and you could easily make them a happy family:

I also like that you could use it for other occasions such as Spring.  My card is very simple:

I dug out the retired paper pack, I think it's called Sophia.  I loved this paper pack and was hoarding it.  To this day I am still only willing to use it a little at a time.  Hahaha~

I also want to share that the Clearance section on Close to My Heart website has A LOT of new items.  My picks are My Legacy Black D-Ring Album, Designed Decor Red Magnetic Chalkboard, My Creations Kraft 3-Ring Album (I can't tell you how great this is and how many albums I've made using this!).  All items are offered at STEEP discount.  Go pick up what you need before they are gone!
