Anniversary Commission

One of my bosses is celebrating his one year anniversary with his wife this weekend, so he asked me for a card.

These were the two I came up with for him to choose from:


I'm surprised at how much Cameo Coral struck me. At first it reminded me of Groovy Guava which I hated, but paired with River Rock it is kind of nice. I also embossed the sentiment to give it extra oomph.

For this card I used:
Card stock - Kraft (base), River Rock, Cameo Coral, Ginger Blossoms DSP and White
Stamps - SU! Flowers in Silhouette, SU! Pocket Silhouettes and random sentiment from Hobby Lobby
Other - River Rock ribbon

This is the one he decided on:

For this card I used:
Cardstock - Pretty in Pink (base) and white
Stamp - SU! Short and Sweet
Other - $1 bin ribbon, Hodge Podge hardware

This is probably my favorite folder for the Cuttlebug. I'm glad I got it - it's so pretty! I can't wait, I am saving up for the Sizzix Big Shot with all the money I make from my cards. (That's the deal, since we are socking away money for our house. So I've been really good and haven't splurged on alot.)

So congratulations to David and Becky for their one year wedding anniversary!

Happy Diversion

So the other night my best friend Nicole and I were planning to work on some wedding stuff (flower girl baskets), but instead decided to make some cards. :)

We made a couple of really cute ones!

This first one is Nicole's. It's adorable. I especially love the use of SU! hodgepodge hardware with the ice blue brads. We also bought a ton of ribbon at Michael's, and I did the bow for her. I'm pretty ok with bows :)



Mine was a little more low key, but I like it. I made it for my brother's birthday which is on Labor Day. It's a 3x3 with a little piece of wire for the balloon string.

In this card:
Card stock - Rose Red (base), Summer Picnic DSP and White
Stamps - SU! Birthday Whimsy (SAB)
