Chocolate Valentine …

More projects from the recent craft night… I love the way these colours look so good together – just perfect for Valentines, but by changing the colours and the sentiment, the card could be used for an anniversary, an engagement, a wedding, or even just because …

We used the ink resist and direct to paper technique on glossy white cardstock to make the central heart, and popped it up on stampin’ dimensionals over the linen thread, wrapped around a square of textured whisper white cardstock.

And a little sweet treat box in matching colours …

 

All three projects together … 

Margaret made us all giggle - we had sweeties to go inside the sweet treat box but she’d nearly eaten all hers by the time we came to make it! 

All supplies from Stampin’ Up!

Wedding wishes…

My friend asked me to make a wedding card for her friends, Kate and Brian.  Here’s what I did…

I used very vanilla and whisper white cardstock, and champagne shimmer paint on the centre of the hearts, to add sparkle and lustre - I love the effect the shimmer paint gives.

I will spend my whole life through…

With the classic Elvis tune playing in my head… I made this for my honey …just because… But as it’s our wedding anniverary at the beginning of May, I may wait and give it to him then …

 

 

We are looking forward to next year when we will be celebrating our silver wedding anniversary …and they said we wouldn’t last!

I give you my heart…

I love the way this card turned out. The design is simple – no ribbons or frills – to appeal to both males and females, with just a couple of strips of cherry cobbler cardstock stamped in the same colour for a tone-on-tone effect. Simple but effective – I love it!

 

 

I haven’t added a sentiment so it could easily be used for an anniversary, birthday, Valentine, or just because!
