first Wedding invite order!

These are the wedding invites I made 115 of for a couple that I work with that are to wed April 23,2011. The inside of the invite was printed on the bottom half of the card and centered using Microsoft word. The total card size (the paper itself) is 6.5x10. I had to do a lot of tweaking to get the words inside to be centered, but it turned out well! Congrats and best wishes Katie and Nick!

First birthday invite order

This is a card invite I just did for a coworker. My cousin Mo Manning drew this little girl image. See her beautiful digi stamps Here! The number 1 was cut out using my Cricut Machine, and embossed using a quickutz embossing folder. The dot strip is a piece of sheer ribbon from Michaels. The inside of the card reads "...as Wednesday turns one". Thanks for looking!

forever begins now wedding card

A card I made for a wedding which didnt end up going to that person, Tried to make it more contemporary, love this spellbinders scalloped frame!!!

Fathers Day card

This is the card I made this past june for my dad. He (along with me) loves the ocean, and so most of my cards for him always have a nautical theme. So I used my new Our Daily Bread lighthouse stamp and stamped in brown and smeared ink in a few places to give it a little color. It is stamped on kraft cardstock. The sentiment is from a studio G $1 stamp set.

Wedding Invite Trial

Add caption

I'm working on coming up with an invite for a co-workers wedding, this was one of them. The bride and I love it, but I think it would be too time consuming to make, she wants like 150 of them!  But after going to CHA and seeing a sneak peek of the new spellbinders grand dies, I have the idea to use one of those as the shape of the invite, and then embellish with stamps and rhinestones... so we'll see!!
The rose shape was cut using a spellbinders die, and I sponged ink in it when using it like a stencil. whatcha all think?
