Black & White Wedding Card

Summer is fast approaching so that means wedding season again!  I have a couple to go to in a few weeks and I decided I won't wait until the last minute this time to make their cards.

This is a card I saw a while ago that I knew I had to make.  It's simple (who doesn't love simple?) with no complicated cuts, yet it can incorporate different patterns, textures, and embellishments.  I made 2 very similar versions (though they won't both be going out), but I can't decide if I want a pop of colour, or if I want to keep the card monochromatic.

"Half Tri-Fold" Card?

Um, not sure really what it's called so let's just call it that for now.  If I could remember where I saw this idea from, I'm sure the name would be there.  But I don't.

This is the other card I will be using for one of the two upcoming weddings.  Again, notice the simplicity of the card, yet it doesn't look boring.  Layers are an easy way to really dress up a card.

Take a look at the pictures of the front and back of the card, and when it's opened up.

Cascading Hearts

In case you're wondering why I managed to remember to update my blog for so many days straight, it's because I JUST discovered the "schedule" option that Blogger has.  Duh!  Go on, you can laugh!

Today's card is a small but lovely wedding card I made.  I'm loving the cascading pop up hearts and the colour scheme.  You?

Sweetheart Silhouette Card

The next card I want to share with you is a wedding card for Crystal & Jacky.  It was made with the Cricut Sweetheart cartridge on multiple layers of cardstock.  It's not clear from the picture but the card is on shimmery cardstock.  Hope they like it!

The solution to plain sweaters

In this freezing, cold, gloomy season I find myself buying a lot of long plain sweaters. I'm not sure if it's because it's so gloomy out that I don't have an urge for fancy clothing or whether I'm just cycling back to "basic clothing". But basic doesn't have to be boring, right?

So my latest addiction is long necklaces. They really do wonders to basic clothing. Here's an example of one that I made for my friend. She's not into fancy jewelry so I've kept it simple with the focal point being the main dangling purple pendant, and added some small embellishments on the chain like a pearl, crystal, leaf, heart, and a flower. Perfect for those who don't like big jewelry.
