Frames and Flowers vellum card

Frames and Flowers - HERE

Back with some more pieces from the Frames and Flowers

dsp.  I used just a small spray to make this vellum card. 

I wrapped the vellum around the cardstock

with a ribbon belly band and the flower

spray on top.  

Super easy to open. 

You can see how subtle the paper behind the vellum

looks.  Give it a try!  The more bolder the

stronger you will see it show through. 

Such gorgeous paper!

Frames and Flowers bouquet

Happy monday!

I am back today with another design with the frames and flowers paper.  I used some vellum cardstock to create a little "flower bouquet"

with the paper. The flower inside are part of the pre-cut pieces.

I used the cardstock and cut it at 2 1/2" for the top and bottom then

created the small greeting.

I pulled out an old technique from the archives by

tearing the bottom of the greeting cardstock.

Hope your enjoying all the Frames and Flowers posts! 

Frames and flowers bag

Be prepared for some frames and flowers spamming!

I have created quite a bit of cards and things with this package

of goodies.

I made up this wedding bag to have on hand for gifting since

we have so many wedding this summer leading into fall.

The wreath is pre-cut and ready to use, just slap some dimensionals

on the back and attach it to the bags.

I used the stamp set Something Fancy for the greeting.

You can forget some glitter on the leaves and an orange bow.

How adorable is this!

Here is the Frames and Flowers pack- HERE

Once you see what else I have created with this pack of paper and pieces you will grab a few.  It's $10 and so far I have created 

a cookie box, a bag, a treat holder and 12 cards with still leftovers! 

Frames and Flowers

I had these french fry boxes in my stash that I thought would be cute to decorate for wedding cookies.

I used the already pre-cut images from the Frames and Flowers dsp

collection. 

Just stamp the greeting in the center and slap it right on the front

of the box.

Here's the cookie all loaded in the little box.

Wrap some ribbon around it and there you!

Frames and Flowers

Hello!

Can we take a minute to swoon over this dsp

paper?  This is the new Frames and Flowers

and it comes with dsp double sided paper as well

as these sheets that have pre punched images for you

to stack and use as overlays for your cards.

It doesn't get any easier than this!

You can see up close the pieces that are pre punched for you

to create with.  These colors just scream tropical to me.

I used Pretty Peacock cardstock for my card layer

as well as Petal pink, then just used one of the 

overlay templates and added pieces as I went.

It gives the card a great 3D dimension. 

Stay tuned for more from this line.

Spotlight on Nature

Here's a quick card for you.

You can use any line art stamp set, this one is Spotlight on Nature

It's been stamped with Soft Suede ink and colored in with 

Crushed curry marker. 

Stamp the greeting in the center in two different colors.

Mediteranean Blooms

Just another Mediteranean blooms drop today.

I can't get enough of this fresh, crisp paper.

So summery and colorful.

This time I decided to make a wedding card and even

line the envelope.

I cut the inside of the card at the normal 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

then cut the vellum as the overlay. 

The ribbon is the belly band holding it together.

The center piece is a punched out piece of the dsp

paper that I then used clear wax to make a wax seal

that I could adhere and hold the belly band together. 

Ready to gift to the lucky couple! 

Wedding Bliss

Can we talk wedding?!!!

Here are a few sneak peeks of my girl's wedding

June 29th at Karma Winery in Chelan

A walk through the vineyards......

a quiet moment before the big I do's ...

Announcing the Mr. & Mrs.!!!

It was the most magical day!

I wish I could push replay to watch it all over again.

It went so fast it all is a blur.  

We are so excited for Shae and Nathan to start their

lives together. 

Below is the bride and groom and their wedding squad. 

More Mediterrean Blooms

Happy saturday!

I am back with more gorgeous paper from the Meditterean blooms

line with Stampin Up!

It's always hard to tell looking at the paper in the catalog to get truly

the beauty of the paper.  

This paper just gets better and better.

This is the smaller lemons piece.

I used the lemon sheet for the background paper

then just cut a small piece of ivory paper to add the 

greeting and cut one lemon to attach to the greeting.

So pretty!

Stay tuned for more!  I hope you like these!

Mediterranean Blooms

This paper looks so realistic!

Look at the these beauties! 

And I am back with more of the gorgeous Mediterranean Blooms

designer paper.  This piece has oranges on it. 

As I did the last post card, I cut out the oranges to 

attach to the front of the card. Also adding the

same light yellow brushing behind the oranges. 

Another super easy card that delivers a big fat WOW!!

Mediterranean Blooms

Well hello!

I am back with this gorgeous paper

called Mediterrean Blooms.

The colors are so vibrant.

This is the collection of double sided paper,

so very pretty paper. 

#163284- $12.00

I started with a white piece of cardstack and added just a strip

1 1/4" piece of the mediterrean blooms paper.

I used the sponge brush and daffodil delight ink to brush just a little

of the ink across the white paper to give it a glow. 

I cut out the lemons and added dimensionals to make them pop. 

This is truly easy to make.  One of those cards that

can be made in under 10 mins. 

I stamped the greeting and added the backing to the card.

So pretty don't you think? 

Wedding decor

Happy saturday!

It was one week ago, the wedding of our daughter and SIL!

Magical is the word that comes to mind.

But remember those wood pieces I was working on a while back?

I now get to share with you what I did with them.

These three large arches that I painted sage we white vinyled the seating chart for the wedding on.  Just added some flowers to the front to dress them up. 

At the top it says, 'sit with us" then we did alphabetically with each person's name and their table number next to their name. 

Second up is one of five of the pilars that I lime washed. We added a cute little message saying, "the Nicholson's can't come to the phone right now, leave a message."  You can see the vintage phone in the photo, there is a company who rents these out.  They somehow put a system in the phone that records when you pick up to leave the message.  Once the phone is full you send it back to them and they send you back all the messages on a flashdrive.  

How unique is that!

The other large wall you see is the 'love notes" wall.

The couple decided to write a love note to each guest at the wedding with a special message for them. 

 We attached them with stick back velcro

rounds so you could walk up and find your name and remove it easily.

So many weddings have memorial tables, but Shae and Nathan

wanted to do a generational wall of love of those who have passed.

We painted the wall and added the "generations of love" with vinyl and then purchased frames to add to the wall. 

Such a added touch and wonderful way to honor our families. 

Quick little peek of the tables.

Instead of wedding cake the couple opted for the large cookies made

at the Edmonds Cottage Bakery.  We packaged them up and made these round monogrammed stickers to add to the fronts. 

Very special. 

Around the venue we had these rough and raw gauze signs

that we vinyled with the bar menus.  

We used the iron on vinyl from cricut to make these.

Guys they look like it was hard, but it truly wasn't, went on easy. 

Here's another sweet touch,

we ordered these plastic cups from Amazon for the bar drinks

with the couples monogram.

This monogram was designed by one of their dear friends who is an amazing graphic artist.  Very simplistic with so much meaning....

I just threw this one in here for fun.

The bridesmaid all wore matching shoes and took this cute pic!

Now you know why my posts haven't been as often,

this wedding season has kept me on my creative toes!

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for popping by!
