Stampin' Up! Wedding Cards

Stampin' Up! Sunshine Wishes Thinlet Dies

We've been lucky this weekend in central Lincs to have had sun all weekend and only rain from five today at the end of an overcast cooler day.  Lots has been achieved by the Tants with a part of our garden revealed that hasn't seen the light of day for years so much so we've found a path we forgot we had! Lots of pruning too and at last the garden is looking more like a garden than a bramble, stinging nettle sub continent.

Since the rain though I've been crafting; such a blow, but someone has to do it.  Wedding season is in full swing now and I've been making a few cards recently.  This one is very simple, but quite modern and funky.  I was inspired by a card I found on pinterest to use this colour scheme and the copper foil heart really 'pops' when used on basic grey card.  The simple sentiment from Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder says what it needs to and the intertwined hearts, achieved with a simple snip in a convenient place to lock one into the other and hide the SNIP.  A final add is some white perfect accents in varying sizes.  Simple, but effective.

Time now for a cuppa and early night as I'm off to the vets in the morning as our poor dog has a dental issue which will require sedation for it to be sorted.  I hate it when he's under the weather.

Here's hoping you've had a good extended weekend.

Rainbow Challenge

Stampin' Up! Sunshine Wishes 

Over at Moving Along with the Times we've got a rainbow challenge for Team A this month.  I decided to create my rainbow with my latest favourite Stampin' Up! tool the Watercolour Pencils.  It's simple to do and you can try with your pencils on a piece of watercolour paper very quickly to make a quick, but colourful card.  

All you need to do is 'scribble' blocks of colour that overlap slightly then take an aqua painter filled with water and brush water over the pencil colouring starting at one end and moving through the colour block. The colours will merge where they meet and can create other colours and shades to create your personal rainbow.  

I've then added a die cut sentiment using gold foil card with the Stampin' Up! Sunshine Wishes dies and stamped 'hello' with the Labeler Alphabet set and added some of my favourite bling sequins and silver thread.  

Visit us at MAWTT, check out the  Design Team cards and join us for our challenge.

I hope the sun is shining on you today.

ps Quick Tip
Did you know that if you put tear tape in strips across the back of your card stock to be die cut when using small word dies like this before die cutting it makes it easier to adhere the die cut to your project.  Be sure not to remove the protective paper until after the word is cut though.
