TAGS

I made some tag samples for a friend to use on the merchandise that she sells so while I was at it I created a few for myself to include with my customer orders.  Here are a few that I played around with.  I'll show you the tag that my friend chose for herself later in the week.

COOKIE JARS

Today I am sharing some cookie jars I made as favors.  A friend of mine asked me to make 15 jars for her friends that helped her to accomplish a goal.  Following are the three styles I created using Stampin' Up! Twitterpated fabric and assorted ribbons that are now retired.

Have a fabulous week.  Come back later in the week and I will share a Christening Book that I created.

Sweet "16" Invitation

This coming July my daughter, Cristina will turn Sweet "16". We are planning a "Spa Day" with some of her closest friends. Cristina asked me to create the invitation for her because she wanted it to be unique and like no other invitation she has received thus far. So with that in mind she went to work on a color combination and I think she chose wisely considering it's a "Spa" theme: Early Espresso, Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette. She asked for a vintage look so I thought it would be best to use the Early Espresso as the base for the card. This is what I came up with - one sample uses the "Vintage Wallpaper" embossing folder which provides a real vintage feel. The other uses the "Elegant Lines" embossing folder which gives a younger feel to a vintage look. Surprisingly, Cristina prefers the one with the "Vintage Wallpaper". I will share the inside of the invitation with you when it is complete.

Enjoy your day!!!!!

Elements of Style CARD

I made this card last night while I was in the middle of creating a vintage scrapbook page.  It is pretty clean and simple.  I used Sahara Sand, Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Soft Suede and Pretty in Pink ink.  Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, Jewels Basic Pearl, Mini Vintage Tags, Tiny Tags and Elements of Style stamp sets.  I distressed the edges of all cardstock and then sponged using Soft Suede ink.  I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to the dove, but due to my poor photography skills, it is difficult to see. 

WEDDING CARD

Yesterday while traveling to an event with my aunt she asked me to make her a bridal shower card.  I decided that it would be safe to go with black and whiteand this is what I came up with.  I used the Specialty Paper "Bride" along with organza ribbon, pearls from the "Pretties Kit" and the "Blissful Bride" stamp set.  I punched out the "For the bride" with the "Jewelry Tag" punch.  The die cut is non-SU.  Although the picture is a little off in shading (still working on my photography issues), the dress and the edges of the oval have "dazzling diamonds" applied to them.  We'll be creating this card in my wedding card class next week on July 29th.

This is another better late than never card. I decided to make my daughters Confirmation invitations and I used a card a made previously (here) and changed it up a bit and this is what I came up with. I used the stamp sets "Vintage Vogue" and "Special Blessings" to create the stamped images. I really like the way it turned out.
