C.R.A.F.T Challenge Design Team July 4th entry

I have been asked to be a GDT for July on the C.R.A.F.T Challenge Blog.
Challenge 214 - 4th of July is Here comes the Bride/Wedding/Anniversary card or project.

I used the digi stamp "Resting on a Cloud" by HopeJacare and used the edges of my scissors to rough it up a bit. Inked all edges with brown as I was going for the vintage touch.
The border punch is from Martha Stewart which allows the pink from inside the card show through. I finished it off with a true dictionary sentiment "anniversary" and some flat back pearls.
Please join in at the challenge at the CRAFT Challenge Blog this week!

Remember Mini Album

I created this mini album for my friend Terry who just celebrated her 40th anniversary. I gave it to her last night as well as the card seen here.

Shabby Vintage Anniversary card

Made this card for my good friend Terry - her and her husband will be celebrating 40 yrs marriage!

Stampin Up supplies - card design created by Judi at Sunday's group!
To make the flower punch two 5 petal flower punch from card stock, mist it to get it moist, then crumble it. Let it dry, then apply DTP (direct to paper) the ink. Punch a hole in the center to insert a brad. Fun technique!

Happy Anniversary

Made this for an up coming anniversary (not mine) and used the Wild Card Cricut cartridge for all the hearts.
Don't you love the little pocket! The cute tag is also on Wild Card cart (heart card page 67) I just cut a strip of paper rounded the corners and used two eyelets to make a pocket - ribbon through the eyelets for a little dimension. This element helped me also enter the card on Quixotic challenge "Tag it". All the hearts are raised on foam squares.

The back ground white card is stamped and embossed with embossing powder and heat gun.
I was inspired by the challenge at BBtB2 - become a follower today they have great ideas and challenges!
Also entering this at Daring Cardmakers - put hearts on a project for their Have a Heart challenge
MS glitter and pearls as well added for bling.

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge - Anniversary Card

This week the task (challenge #34) was to create an Anniversary card. How fitting as I needed to make a 25th card!

Since 25th anniversaries are silver I used silver mettalic card stock from Michael's. These mettalics are stunning. The bottom edge was done with a wonderful punch from Martha Stewart. Three Cuttlebug folders used on this card, flowers and birds, swiss dots and the heart from the To/From set.
(I did this twice and raised the accent with foam squares.
Stampin' Up ticket punch used through out the card to edge the corners. Coluzzle used to cut the ovals and some bling in the corners.
