♥ Elegant Foiled Congratulations Card ♥

Hello. Stopping in today with a quick and easy card that would be perfect for a wedding. As soon as I saw the Elegant Border Glorious Glimmer Hot Foil Plate by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders, it reminded me of a wedding. I actually flipped the design for my card. It really could be used either way.

 
I also used the Elegant Occasion Sentiments Glorious Glimmer Plates. I foiled the Congratulations plate with the same Matte Gold Foil as the Border plate and then using some foam dots, added it to the center of the foiled border. I then added some pearls, satin ribbon and a vintage button to finish it off. Love using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System!

You can find all of the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Products HERE!

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the Birthday Wishes that I received. I really appreciated it!

Have a wonderful day!

hugs...

Happy Saturday to you all! I'm stopping in today with a card I made with some beautiful new dies by Becca Feeken and her gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Dies. I am using the beautiful Curled Grace Oval Etched Dies from the Vintage Elegance Collection.

I am also using the Giving Occasions Stamp and Die Set also from the Vintage Elegance Collection. These dies are just stunning and so fun to work with! You can make anything with them from a Wedding or Anniversary card to a Birthday or Just Because card! They are so versatile.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

♥ Gorgeous Gateaux ♥

That is the fabulous name of this week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room...Gorgeous Gateaux! It is to create a card and/or project using the colors Grey, Lilac, Peach and Pink plus lace and a metal embellishment. Here is the beautiful inspiration photo.

This week the Shabby Girls got to use some beautiful digi stamps by our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. I chose to work with this digi stamp called simply "Wedding Presents". It is so versatile and could be used for a birthday, wedding, anniversary or even Christmas! (I think so anyway, if they are colored appropriately!:)

I also used a paper doily, Making Memories metal plate, seam binding, vintage lace, lots of pearls and the pearl-ized hearts and gems I picked up at AC Moore.

The winner of this week's challenge will win 7 Digi images of their choice to Bugaboo Stamps.

Don't forget to leave some love for the other Shabby Girls too! ;)

This week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room is called "Pink Wedded Bliss". And there are not 1 but 4 lovely inspiration photos for you to choose from! Just make a card and/or project with a Wedding or Anniversary theme and the colors from the inspiration photos.

For my card, I used the beautiful Rose digi stamp from our wonderful monthly sponsor, Robyn's Fetish. I colored it in with some Copics and added some glitter for some sparkle. The gorgeous papers I used are new ones from Simple Stories called "Baby Steps". They are so beautiful!! (One of my new faves!)

I finished my card with some pink satin ribbon, a Jenni Bowlin stick pin, some punched MS butterflies, Rouge Liquid Pearls, black adhesive pearls, a paper doily and the stamped sentiment is from Studio G. This card could probably be used for both a Wedding or an Anniversary.
