Wedding Card With Butterflies

Good evening blog friends,

Comments Please, it would help me in future posts on what you would like to see here.

Today, I thought I'd post a pic of the wedding card I made for my son & daughter-in-law.
Since part of the theme was butterflies, I wanted to incorporate them in the design.

I used  scraps of one color print, one color solid & an off white card stock for the back ground.

Using my Cricut Expression, I used the following carts;

Sentimentals cart for the butterflies,

Happily Ever After cart for this saying &

Sweethearts cart for Hugs & Kisses

& Mr & Mrs.

This card came together very quick & easy.

Tomorrow I will be posting something completely different.

Hope you will stop by to see & leave your comments & or questions for me.

So, until the next time Happy Crafting & hope that you had a wonderful & Blessed day.

Hugs, Dee

The Bird Cages To Hold The Wedding Gift Cards

Hello again & how are your crafty days going so far?

This post is about the  metal bird cages that the bride wanted to use  for any wedding card gifts that the happy couple received at the reception.

Basia told me that each cage would have a name on the front, so the guests would know that they could put their card gifts inside.

So, I had the idea to quill the letters to spell out the words.

Used a cream colored card stock from Bazzil for base of the tag.
This I used Martha Stewart's butterfly border punch around the edges.
Cut a slightly smaller tag in a bright mango color to use as the contrasting base for the quilled letters.


The smaller cage says WISHES & the larger cage says CARDS.

Then I added ribbons & bows that I made, then finished it with a few butterflies, since they were part of the wedding theme.
Also used Stickles Diamond to accent the quilled letters.

I think they came out really nice. What do you think about this idea?

This first pic was taken right after I finished them & before they left for the reception venue.

This pic was taken at the reception.

I hope Y'all enjoyed this idea & how they turned out.

I look forward to all your comments, so please leave as many as you like.

I will also answer any questions that you might have for me.

Keep on crafting, believe me it keeps you busy & you will always make something that you will be proud of.

If you have done an idea like this or quilled something for a wedding, I would love to see your pics.

Until next time, I hope that you always have a wonderful & Blessed day.

Hugs, Dee

WEDDING INVITATIONS FOR STEVEN & BASIA

 Hello To All My Crafty Friends,

I hope your day was a great one & that you are off to a great start for the New Year. I am so happy to be back posting on my blog & looking forward to your comments & any questions that you will have for me.

As I promised, here are pics of the wedding invitations that I designed & made, for my son & new dil's wedding this past September 2011.
Basia wanted to go with tropical colors, so I did the background on the front of the invitation that way.
Used a variety of cardstock colors by Bazzil.
I used contrasting colors of  cardstock, with the top one embossed.
Using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.
I cut out the bride & groom using my Cricut Expression & the Stretch Your Imagination cart.
On the wedding gown  I accented it with Stickles Diamond, then using a glitter marker of silver outlined the grooms attire.
Then I stamped the saying using one of the sentiments from Cloud 9 stamp set, called Simple Thoughts- wedding.
To finish the front of the invitation, I added contrasting colored  picot ribbon, by American Crafts.
On the inside, all the info was printed out on colored vellum with a flower accent.

Well the invitations seem to be a hit & I hope you enjoyed them too.
Please leave me any comments, questions & or suggestions on what your thoughts of my design are.
All  are always welcome, so please express yourself.

Until next time, have a wonderful & Blessed day.
Hugs, dee

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Well it sure has been several months since I have posted on my blog. The last time as you probably know was back in May, right before I had my third back surgery. It has been a rough road to recovery & a long one at that. I'm still not completely healed &  have a ways to go, still in much pain, but getting better.

I hope Y'all had a wonderful summer, a very Merry Christmas & a safe  & Happy New Year Eves.

My craft room still isn't all set up, but have been trying slowly to get it together. So in the future I will be posting my progress of how it will look.

My youngest son Steven got married in September & it sure was a beautiful wedding. I designed & made all the wedding invitations. When everything was done including the wedding, I was exhausted & needed a good rest. LOL
This week I will be posting pics of the invitations & their wedding pic.

Lately, I have been busy crocheting & also working on a quilt for my master bedroom.
I am trying so hard to get back into crafting, because for the past several months I had no interest in anything. Probably if it wasn't for Steven getting married & for me offering to make the invitations, I wouldn't of made anything till recently. So that was a good thing to get me motivated.
Then one  day I woke up & realized I missed crafting. Crafting keeps me sane.

So, I hope Y'all will check back daily to see what I am making for the New Year & that you haven't given up on me.

Stop by real soon to see what is new.

May God Bless Y'all.
Hugs,
Dee
