Wedding Invitations

Here is another set of Wedding invitations that I delivered to the Happy Bride this week. Nicole is a lady that I work with, and she was getting down to the wire with finding someone to do their invitations. I don't really like mixing my day job with another "paying" job, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to get another set of invites under my belt. I would really like to continue doing the invitations on a part time basis.
These ones were really easy to do. The invitations and reply cards are just flat cards and the Thank-you is a regular 4 1/2 x 5 1/2. 5x7 for the invitation (top picture), 41/4 x 5 1/2 for the reply card and Thank-you card.
I printed everything on my laser jet printer and it all worked out perfectly. The envelopes match the Bronze. They are very clean and elegant.

If you have any questions regarding this invitations, I would be happy to help you out, please remember, if you leave a comment with a question, please leave your e-mail address.

Cardstock: Mellow Moss - SU, Shimmery Ivory in text weight stock, shimmery bronze in cover weight.

No one in the World......

This is the card that I sent to Beate.
Here is my first My Favorite Things card. I used the masking technique on this card as well. Here is a tip: if you think you are going to be masking a lot with a stamp set, keep the scrap piece that you are using to block out the good image, then you won't have to keep cutting a scrap one.

Recipe:
Stamps: Going Places by My Favorite Things
Cardstock: card base is Sahara Sand - SU, mellow moss - SU, Shimmery White - SU, DP is Basicgey
Ink: Pallet black, Tim Holz distress ink in Walnut
Accessories: Martha Stewart scallop punch, ribbon, corner rounder punch - SU, prisma flowers, jeweled brad, charm from Walmart, prisma pencil crayons, baby oil

When Life Stinks...you can count on me

I think this is my favorite image from the set. I had a really problem with making this card work. I am still not 100% sure about it, but wanted to share. The card bas is 4 1/4 square. I took my basic grey ink pad and rubbed the DP on it to brink more of the grey in and make the paper not as bright.

Recipe:
Stamps: Cute Critters by Clear Dollar Stamps
CardStock: Shimmery white, shimmery black, DP by SEI, Basic Grey - SU, the teal color is also from the SEI DP pack
Ink: Pallet Ink in Black
Accessories: Cuttlebug, nestibilities, Primsacolor pencils and Baby oil, prismacolor marker in 10% grey, ticket corner punch, old olive ribbon - SU, hodgepodge metal tag - SU, small oval punch - SU.

You Quack me up!!!

I wanted to do this one in soft colors because I colored the image in strong colors, I figured if I went strong with the rest of the card it would have been too much. I really like how this one turned out. Again this card base is 4 1/4 square. On the card base, I toke my nesties and run it through my cuttlebug to get the card base embossed. It is a nice way to add a layer to a card without using paper.

Friends STICK Together

I have done 4 cards from my new set called Cute Critters From Clear Dollar Stamps . This is one of the first ones.

Isn't this little hedgehog cute? Wait maybe he is a porcupine?

Any who, doesn't really matter. This card is 4 1/4 square. I thought this size would work really good with this stamp set. The back ground is scraps that I had left over from a wedding invitation that I have done. I weaved the strips together. I think it works.

I get all my Shimmery Paper in cover and text weight from CutCardStock for my cards, scrapbooking and wedding invitations.

Recipe:
Stamps: Cute Critters for Clear Dollar Stamps
Cardstock: Barely Banana - SU, mellow Moss - SU, Shimmery White - SU, Shimmery Irovy, Shimmery Bronze.
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain
Accessories: Cuttlebug, nestibilities, prismacolor pencils, baby oil, prismacolor marker in 10% grey for the shadowing.
