Happy work!

I've been working on our Son's wedding invitations for about a week and I'm  done except for filling the envelopes and adding the postage.  

 I also am working on my nieces wedding  invitations!!

I really enjoy doing weddings and try to make each set very personal. 

 Molly my future daughter in law saw a card that I made and said "that is it, can you doing a invite like this??


she like the damask and gold frame so much, all of the decor for the wedding will involved ivory and black damask and gold!

I thought I'd show a sneak peek of the invites, since that is just about all I am doing - Wedding!!


I can't get to detailed until after they are mailed:
fun working from the dinning room table!

The photo is one from the engagement set that I shot of them in the fall:



ready for final  back stamps

The RSVP is actually a sheet of 80# cover  cardstock cut to 6" wide.  I set the "type" on one sheet - you have to rotate one set of text  to an upside down position,
then print, score, fold and glue.  I used a vintage paper pad press to make them nice and flat.  The double paper makes a perfect weight for an RSVP post card.  This is a very easy and affordable way to do the RSVP's!



I printed a damask heart on the envelope too, you can't see the teal accent glitter dots in the center of the hear, but they are there!  Teal will be the accent color.


The base of the invitation is Canson 130# water color paper that went through my Canon Pixma (low end printer) I printed the base on a soft white Strathmore water color paper 100#  It too k the inks beautifully.  I thought I'd share as I know many of you do invites too!


Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Hi Ginny, oh these invitations are coming out beautiful. I especially like the damask heart, though I think damask in general is just so elegant. Happy Tuesday! Hugs, Crystal

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
