Love is in the air...

Today I want to share a wedding card that I made for my hubby's cousin.  Have I ever mentioned to you how much I love weddings?  I do!  I love the fancy schmancy, expensive stuff and the complete frivolity of all the things we buy for our weddings.  You know like the $400 ice sculpture that you just have to have?  (Been there, done that!)  Looking back, I have no idea why I felt the need to pay $400 for frozen water in the shape of a swan, but I sure did.  I will blame it on the fact that I was 21 years old and so in love that I had to share it with the world.  Of course, if I could have another wedding today, I'm sad to say, I probably would spend more money than I ever did before.   Moving right along to the card...

I made this card to fit a business size (#10) envelope, so it measures 4" x 9".  I really like the look of these tall, thin cards.  The card base is black.  The white, swirly design is from Lyrical Letters.  This cut is normally square but I stretched and re-sized it to fit this card.

The stamp is from the dollar bin at Walmart.  I have been going to town on that dollar bin!  Every time I go to Walmart, I pick up one stamp and one pack of bling.  I'm getting a good collection and only spending a couple of bucks each time.

This flower is from Designer's Calendar.  I was just scrolling through and saw it and thought it would be good to make a layered flower.  The center of the flower is from a pack of "raindrops" that I bought at Big Lots a long time ago.  I use these sparingly because I haven't found them again and I really like them.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fancy Card

Today I want to share a simple, fancy card with you.  This is one of the thank you cards I made for the order from my photographer friend at church.

This card measures 5x5 square.  I cut the flower from Serenade and the stamp is from Michael’s dollar bin.

This patterned section is cut from Lyrical Letters.  Doesn’t it just look like beautiful patterned paper?  It’s not!  Fooled ya, didn’t I?  Ok, maybe not.  But it was worth a try.

To decorate the flower, I added a black button with some bling stuck in the middle with a glue dot.  That’s it!  Super simple, but I just love it.  I really am liking the bright yellow with the black and white.  Doesn’t that bright flower just make you happy?  You could say it looks…friendly. 

“Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?” 

If you don’t know this line, it’s from You’ve Got Mail.  Totally irrelevant to what I’m talking about but my mind always goes to quotes from that movie because it’s the best…movie…ever.  I know I’ve told you that before.  Can’t help myself!

I hope your day is blessed, happy and cool during this sweltering summer heat!

Blessings,
