A Wedding Card & Mini Album

Our nephew recently married so of course I made

a card for them.

Using die cuts and punches, I love how

it turned out. 

I used sort of "autumn" colors since it is November after all.

On the inside of course I had to use my new

Tim Holtz 3D heart die cut and I love how it turned out.

The sentiments are also from a TH phrase booklet.

So THEN, at my LSS I saw this DCWV 6x6 pad that ALSO had 

embellishments to go with.

So, our nephew and new niece LOVE the beach, shore, ocean

and this was perfect.

I absolutely fell in love the papers.

They were just perfect along with them embellishments

and lots of stuff to fussy cut in the paper pad.

I made a tag to tuck in the envelope

which I love and hopefully there'll be journaling on it.

I used our invitation in the album as well and it was so

pretty it needed no embellishment.

I only put a couple of photos in, because there aren't

many out there that are really good

and I didn't take many either.

I know. My bad.

Is that paper not gorgeous and perfect.

And those embellies.

YUM.

f 

Of course I wanted to give some guidance as to what to do.

Tucking stuff in, journaling, etc. and of course,

I couldn't do that on a plain white piece of paper so...

I made this tag that I just loved and really didn't want

to give it away LOL.

I absolutely loved making the card and the album.

 

This year's Christmas Cards

I had an opportunity to make some

cards for our Vets this year.

It was a lot of fun, using Ranger Oxides

and Crayons for the stamped images.

I bundled them up in

order to drop them off easily.

And for the grandkids I made them sort of

alike, yet different.

LOL.

Using a Sissix die cut that didn't

have a lot of moving parts which was

lovely.

Some nights I did one, up to 3 maybe

four so it didn't take but a couple

of days doing it that way.

I did all the card cards at once and the same,

but I wanted Santa to be somewhat different.

I  did the Santa's and all the die cut things

one-at-a-time and put them together as

they came off the die cut machine and then

added them to the cards and

finished it inside and out.

it was so much nicer and easier in

keeping all the parts together,

including the dies because the pieces didn't

get scattered and drive me nuts.
