A big warm welcome to everyone who has arrived here from the the lovely Lesleys blog

And a big hug for everyone else who drops in and may I suggest that you take a look at all the other wonderful blogs in this hop as they are brimming with wonderful creations made by some of the nicest people you could hope to meet....our fellow team mates in the super-do-per Stampin' Stars!!!

Well here's my offering for this event a valentine for a loved one or a just because card that has the added attraction of being a fun fold card idea. I got the directions for this great fold from the very talented Monica Gale over at her blog here is the link
http://monicas-passions.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/card-in-box-video-tutorial.html

I've used the oh so sophisticated modern medley designer series paper from the main catalogue and the gold embossing powder and versamark also found in the main catalogue.
The heart stamps are from the new Language of Love st available in the spring/summer catalogue for the great price of just £11.95 for clear mount or £14.95 for wood mount. the set has 5 stamps that are not just good for valentine but weddings, anniversaries, cute cards..the list can just go on and on!! I used the heart framlits dies to cut the hearts out and the cute little heart punch that Stampin' Up! also have in the main catalogue.
The sentiment is from a set called See Ya Later and is even better value!!.......FREE!!! How I hear your ask can that be??? Well it's just one of the great FREE items available for every £45 of goodies you purchase from Stampin' Up! There are a wide range of items that are exclusively available for you to choose from that are only available during Sale-A-Bration from today till the 31st of March 2014.

Wedding Cards

Wedding Cards are very important throughout the whole year

and my son has asked me to make several for him.

These next 2 images are the first.

The bride has chosen Burnt Orange as the colour theme. He said it wasn't big enough!

So I reconstructed it (picture 2) using the ribbon that was on the wedding invitation (not Stampin' Up!) although it was close to Pumpkin Pie.

I made wedding rings using 2 small punches and tied them together using Pumpkin Pie 3.2mm Taffeta ribbon. The background was made using Creative Elements and Pumpkin Pie.

Love and Laughter for the worded Wedding Cake. Backed by Champagne Glimmer Paper and Pumpkin Pie. Finished off with Rhinestones.

The next 3 are 3 Very Vanilla card bases with White Embossed elements.

Swallowtail, Mr & Mrs were the 2 stamp sets I used and I made the wedding rings and wine glasses using Silver Glimmer Paper and coloured in using Daffodil Delight marker pen for the champagne.

Apothecary Accents Framelits for the middle card, Whisper White Organza Ribbon and Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Rhinestones and Pearls finish these off.

The lighting wasn't as good as I'd like as they look much better in real light.

The next one is Whisper White card stock, Embossing Powder and Organza Ribbon, Mr & Mrs stamp, Silver Glimmer Paper, Apothecary Accents and finished off with Pearls.
