For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge at Splitcoast (WT328), we were not to use ANY white c/s. This is a special wedding card and I didn’t use any white c/s. I found the outside little ribbon/tulle centerpiece and Mr & Mrs tag on clearance and I added a die cut fancy tag out of metallic gold in between the two for the main item on the outside.

All images Our Daily Bread designs. I used two sizes of the Labels 17 to make a frame thru the ivory shimmer and brushed gold c/s and behind them I stamped the crochet bg in gold ink. I added some wide ribbon before attaching it to my A7 ivory card.

The big surprise w/ this card is the inside so I’d love for you to check out the next pic. I just love paper engineering but this one really tested me, lol!

I gold embossed the greeting on ivory c/s, die cut w/ a Labels 10 and attached it on top of a brushed gold Fancy Tag. On a slightly smaller (than the A7 ivory card) piece of vanilla c/s I placed the pattern I found for the Wedding Cake on a lovely blog I came across. I love popups and I haven’t done one in a long time so I gave it a try. After doing all the cutting and scoring, it took a while to get all the folds going the right way. Then I added the scallop top pieces to the cake along w/ some punched flowers.

I think the happy couple (my DH’s nephew!) will be surprised when they open it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Colorful Crochet

Am I late? I hope I can still get in to the Tea Party (MMTPT151), but I bet I’ll have to sneak in the back way. See my card has corners and it’s supposed to be round. I tried, rahly I did (said in my best Katherine Hepburn voice-which is hard for a southern girl, dontcha know?)

I started out round…you can see by the center layers. But this card just wanted to be square. Who am I to argue? So I’ll just be hangin’ out by the back door and hopefully I won’t be alone.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the crochet circle image 3 times, colored two and cut them out in layers. One water colored flower only. Two was the the inside circle, cut w/ a Spellbinders circle. Third was the whole image cut w/ an ODBD matching crochet circle die.

For the big circle and square bg, I used water colors to make the bg and then stamped the crochet bg on top. I stamped and cut (w/ the matching ODBD border die) 4 strips of the crochet border to make the frame. As I was putting it together, I got to looking at the negative strips and decided to use them as well. So I added a little color to them and attached them offset behind the crochet borders. The sentiment is also on one of the negative strips. The finished card measures 5″ square.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dad’s Suit

Congrats to Tami, today’s Featured Stamper (FS228) at Splitcoast! Super gallery! I chose Thank You to case. I liked the stark color contrast and thought it would work well for my Father’s Day card. Then I changed most everything. I was also inspired by this card I saw a long time ago. I got my stuff out yesterday to make it but then we had storms and the power went out for a really long time. So I had to quick make it this morning.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I pretty much followed the same suit layout on my 6″ square card. I used the crochet bg w/ the silver ink on the ivory shimmer paper and made the shirt and pocket handkerchief. The watch was stamped w/ stazon onto white shrink plastic and since it was a large image to start with, it shrank to the perfect size. I found this little watch crystal looking doodad and glued it on top w/ super glue then attached it to a silver die cut round tag. I used a scallop die on both sides of a scrap to get the watch chain then used the silver pen to draw in the links.

The suit was all faux stitched w/ the silver pen and a silver button was added. I added the little verse (it’s for DH) to the side on the pocket.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
