Wedding Best Wishes

This week at http://cagichallenge.blogspot.com/ we are to make a Wedding card. This being the month of June, weddings are "a'buzzin", that is true.
Here is my creation:
** Cardstock - Used regular 8x12" single sheets. On the gray base card I used my Martha Stewart Scorer for the indentations around the edges.
** Scalloped Squares - Spellbinders layered in ascending size, and each popped with 3-D squares, added white pearls to corners.
** Sentiment - Text designed and printed on Cricut Explore. Highlighted with a Gelly Roll Clear Star Glitter pen.
** Silver Thread/Light Gray Sheer Ribbon -"Celebrate 360 Degrees " from Michael's.

Flowers & Pearls

I created this card using a sketch from Paper Play Sketches, but oops! I missed the cut-off date. I also used the Color Combo Challenge hosted by LeAnne at http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/. I really am surprised at how pretty these colors look when combined.
* Yellow & Blue Cardstock - From DCWV 8x8" Scalloped cardstock stack. This cardstock has an almost linen texture to it and is very pretty in person. But, it made it a little difficult to stamp on it.
* Flowers - Recollections mini punch, added tiny blue and yellow pearls to the centers.
* Leaves - Cut from scrap box green paper with a Sizzix "Branch w/Leaves" die cut.
* Sentiment - From an acrylic stamp set that was gifted to me, sorry no name. Stazon inked stamp.
Sorry about the poor image, have been having camera trouble, lately.  : (  : (  : (

Little One

Made this Baby card using a very simple sketch by Debbie Foster at this week's challenge at http://tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.ca/ . As simple as the sketch is, it lent itself to adding many elements to create a very nice card. Happy with the outcome!

* Base Card - From David Tutura, 5.50" square "Celebrate" assorted blank cards box.
* Pattern Paper - Green/Pink Plaid by Pizazz. Corners are a Fiskar corner punch.
* Ribbons - Assorted trim borders by Doodle Dee
* Sentiment - "Welcome": Written on Explore. "Little One" is a  Cricut cartridge cut on Explore. I added sparkle to each with a Wink of Stella pen. Sad, it didn't show up very well on the photo.
* Frame - Cricut cut from "Lacy Labels" cartridge. Matted and embossed with Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots"  folder.
* Baby Carriage - Cricut "Stamping" cartridge. Added a heart Brad, ribbon, and half of a metal snap closure you use on clothing, for the wheel centers. I added 3-D squares to pop the carriage.

Happy Birthday: Pink & Orange

I am loving this new stack from DCWV called "Pocket Blossom", it has the prettiest dainty floral patterns in it. My supply of cards for Ladies is pretty full, and I usually save floral patterns for this type of card. Some of the patterns are so dainty and girly-looking, I think I will make some for little girls, new baby, and teens. It won't go to waste...that's for sure!

 

* Orange cardstock - By Bazzill is 12"x12" and is called "Tangelo".

* Floral Pattern - From  DCWV  stack called "Pocket Blossom".

* Pink and Beige cardstock are from my Scrap box.

* Embossing - A new 3 piece set of border folders by Darice, I just bought called "Flourishes".
* Frame - Is a Cricut  image cut from the "Lacy Labels" cartridge

* Butterfly - Martha Stewart punch. I cut one in color Tangelo and glued it to the frame, cut another in pink and glued only the center of it to the Tangelo one, for a 3-D look.

* Happy B'day - Close to My Heart stamp from the "4 My Friend " collection.

* Flower -   Are store-bought.  Layered two sizes, added a small orange Brad to center.

My Goofy Dad

I have to have the craziest hubby in the world...and he is just as "goofy"! My daughter brings him a Goofy souvenir every time she goes to Disneyland, just to prove a point. LOL!!!
So, both my hubby and Goofy inspired this card I created.

* Water Drop Pattern - Single sheet rack from Michael's Craft Store
* Sentiment & Goofy image are computer-generated
* Clouds - Die cut from Cottage Kutz. Popped them with 3-D squares
* Waves - Are cut from blue pearl-like cardstock, which gives it a sheen. I used an "ek" border punch
* Fish - Images I down-loaded from the Internet and then fussy cut them.
* "Seaweed" - Martha Stewart punch.
