FLORAL THINLITS ENGAGEMENT CARD!

It’s been a busy few months with Sale-A-Bration.  First of all,  Thank you to all my customers for your support and patronage AND to the wonderful new people who have joined my team.  I had 4 new people join the JEN’s INK team over Sale-A-Bration. They know a bargain when they see one.  Welcome to them all.  I love my team whether they are hobby demos loving the discount or striving to build up their business.  BUT, Thank you to you all for visiting my blog.  I would love to talk to you in person and love to say Hello.  I love talking to people about cardmaking and sharing ideas.  It’s always so exciting.  We can all learn from each other.  Thanks for stopping by in your busy day. Don’t be scared to leave a comment now and then. 🙂

Now we move on from Sale-A-Bration and from Easter.  This past week I have been making my swaps for Onstage this coming weekend.  This is such a fun event for Demonstrators held in locations all over the world.  It’s too early for sharing my swaps yet but stay tuned in the next week and I can share them.

Today’s card I realised I hadn’t shared with you yet.  I made this for my niece who recently got engaged in January.  When I went to check on the photo to share with you today I realised it’s not the best photo.  BUT I have already sent it so I hope it gives you an idea.  This is with her favourite Stampin’  Up! colour Island Indigo.

A Whisper White card mat is embossed with the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder.  A piece of Island Indigo was cut with the Detailed Floral Thinlits and adhered directly to the white card.  I left a section on the left of the Island Indigo card to allow for the sentiment and the ribbon. The sentiment is from Vertical Greetings which fitted well in the space.  I thought I had added some Rhinestones or Pearls to the sentiment but obviously after the photo was taken. 😉 Some of that gorgeous White Organza Ribbon was wrapped around the card mat before adhering to the Island Indigo base.  It was a very quick card and time was limited but I can report she LOVED it.  So that’s all that matters.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I will be back with more creating very soon,

Jenny

CHARMING CAFE IN BERRY BURST!

A few weeks back I shared a number of cards using the Charming Cafe Bundle.  If you missed them you can head back -> HERE and also HERE.  There were a number of cards as well as a video on some tips in using this bundle.

I realised I had missed this card.  I didn’t show it at the time as it needed some modifications and I have only got back to it recently.  So here you go!

I embossed a separate piece of Berry Burst with the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder.  I think this folder is a little hidden in the catalogue and you can skim right past it.  You can find it on Page 13.   Some of the gorgeous Berry Burst Metallic Edge Ribbon was wrapped around the piece before it was adhered down to the Berry Burst card mat.  The flower wreath was stamped on to white and the sentiment was stamped in the centre.  I coloured the flowers with the Markers.  To be honest, I think it would have been nice to stamp the flowers again and cut them and raise them up off the piece.  You can try that on your version yourself.

I think I may have added a little Wink of Stella to add some sparkle.  I felt it wasn’t finished so just tucked a piece of Paper Doily under the left hand side very carefully as I had already stuck it down with Dimensionals.  Bling to finish is an essential on most of my cards. 🙂

This is a simple card but isn’t that sentiment lovely?

I have been having lots of fun with the Waterfront set this week so stay tuned for a week of Waterfront next week.

Have a great weekend,

Jenny
