This has been a REALLY busy past couple of weeks for us! We've been to grad & anniversary parties, 4 concerts and also managed to complete a landscaping project here at home in between all the running. I received a new box of goodies from SU! and haven't had time to play with them yet...so sad! I did manage to make cards for all the celebrations we've been to.
Sorry about the weird angle of the card in this photo. I was trying to capture the shimmery background and the shiny embossed medallion. I embossed this using Clear EP on
Shimmery White card stock. Then I sponged on
Marina Mist and
Baja Breeze. Here's another card I made for a 50th Wedding Anniversary party.
Doesn't the
Brushed Gold card stock look gorgeous embossed with the new
Vintage Wallpaper folder? Both cards use
JustRite Monogram stamps to allow the personalization. I've always wanted to try these, and had the opportunity when stamping with a friend recently. (thanks Karman!) It is really tedious to set up all the lettering, but it's worth it to have the personalization.
Both cards also use the new adhesive backed Jewels available in the new catalog. They come in both rhinestones & pearls. Love those things! So glad SU! is finally carrying them! They have so many awesome new embellishments in this catalog. Here are the first ones I got in my first new catalog order.
The pearls & rhinestones come in 3 sizes and also in 3 connected strips. The
Antique Brads are amazingly GORGEOUS! And the new assortments of
Designer Buttons are way CUTE! I got the Brights collection...ooooh...Razzleberry buttons!!! I think this coming week I'll have time to play with some of my new goodies!
These are lovely, Lynn! I especially love the 50th...simple yet striking! I still haven't had a chance to play with half of my new toys! Hope you have better luck on having time for yours this week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful cards! I didn't even notice the odd angle of the first card. I can see the shimmery effect on your card. It caught my eye right away.

ReplyDeleteYour blogger buddy
Thank you for the idea for the 50th Wedding Anniverary card. I created one that was very similiar. I am new to creating cards and have limited supplies. I did what I could with what I had. I think it turned out great! Thanks!!
