CAS wedding card- Craftin Desert Divas DT challenge card

Helllloooo Crafters!

The design team has been busy with a new challenge over at Craftin' Desert Divas: Say it with a Sentiment.  Awesome challenge!  And I had just the card for it...

Recently I was asked to make a wedding card for a work colleague.  I said yes, of course, but then quickly realized I never made a wedding card before!  Luckily I own a couple of JustRite stamp sets and I just happened to have three sets that worked for this card:  Vintage Pearls Labels ("To have and to hold"- sentiment on the card front), Kindness (the gorgeous stamped background surrounding the front sentiment), and Antique Valentine Tags One (the fancy heart scroll and "Congrats" sentiment on the inside).  All of the stamped images were embossed in silver and Stickles was applied to add more shimmer.

Spellbinders Labels 20 was used on the front and inside, as shown.  The pretty lattice paper is from My Mind's Eye mini pad, Be Amazing.

So there you have it- my first wedding card!  Guess what else it is?  My first design team member post for Craftin' Desert Divas!  YAY!!!  

The challenge runs for two weeks and I hope to see your project in it!  :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a good week!
Hugs,

JustRite "Love is a never ending story" card

 

Hello All!

 

It has been a while since my last post.  Things have been very busy here so I have not had time to post or check other crafters posts or respond to comments.  I apologize for my lack of communication!

 

While sitting at an airport last week I pulled out my sketch book and started to sketch ideas for JustRite's Challenge #095 "Window of Opportunity".  Today I finally had time to go into the craftroom and turn two of the sketches into cards.  Wish I had more time to work on them but I guess there is only so much time in a day.  Ah, if only I could craft for 40 hours a week and work for 4 hours one night in the week...and maintain my current pay  ;)

 

The first card is intended to be a wedding or engagement card.  On the front I used JustRite's Vintage Pearl Labels embossed in gold.  Tim Holtz's Distress Stains in Victorian Velvet and Bundled Sage were watered down and painted in the areas as shown.  I fussy cut around the inside of the stamped image.  JustRite's Vintage Label die was then used. Foam tape elevated the die cut part onto white vellum.  Recollections pink rose paper was applied under the vellum.  The inside used "Love is a never ending story" from Vintage Pearl Labels and one of the tags from JR's Antique Valentine Tags one.  The card is made from plastic...the plastic from a Spellbinder's die set.  (It so bothers me to have the packaging plastic not being used.  While sketching in my book I realized I could use all those plastic packages on cards.  Recycling rocks!)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

This card is entered into JustRite's challenge #95: http://justritestampers.typepad.com/justrite-inspiration/2013/04/justrite-friday-challenge-095-window-of-opportunity.html
