Big but Clean & Simple LOVE card

More from my All Day Workshop…. you can’t get much more CAS than this… but there have been a lot of oohs, squeals and WOWs over this card! That being said it is a large card… an A5 long card… ie nearly 12” wide and just over 4” high for my imperial buddies!

Now having bought the Artisan Embellishments kit to get the flower ribbon to do one particular thing…. I had used something else to do that thing! So I looked at the stunning flowers ribbon and knew I had to come up with something else!

And so a matching card to go with yesterdays mini book came to mind…..

It particularly works as the class kit included a piece of the wonderful Canvas Creations… just gives the background a great texture… making this a card very special with incredible soft dimension…. so tactile! Both the flower letters & the background…

That being said… as a girl that is not into pinks….. I began to call this the Marmite card… I couldn’t work out whether I loved it or hated it!! Luckily everyone else LOVED it! So what do I know…..

So how are the letters done… Simples…. cut rose ribbon into following lengths, apply a glue dot to the back of each rose and arrange on the card! Lovely and quick…

4 roses x 3; 3 roses x 1; 2 roses x 3 and 1 rose x 1

L is 4 down & 2 across

V is 4 down the left and 3 up the right

E is 4 down. 2 across at top & bottom and the single in the middle

And the O is the gorgeous wreath from the Your Perfect Day stamp set. Hand-cut and 3Dd onto the card….

Think this will be my Parents Wedding Anniversary card this year….

Something Borrowed Tri Fold Mini Book

Staying on the projects made at my various workshops run last week. This was another project we made at my lovely All Dayer on Saturday.

A mini book using the Something Borrowed papers and featuring the Artisan Embellishments kit.

Though I had to laugh as I had to own up for my determination to use the Artisan Embellishments kit….. see that gorgeous die cut rose panel on the front cover… yes for those… but I could only use one of them in the project…. the other one was for another use!! But more on that another day….

This project is a re-make of a mini book I had designed previously – one that has always been one of our favourites over this part of the Stampin’ Up! world  – but in these papers – well I was in heaven! And luckily so was everyone else!

Add the new Our Perfect Day and co-ordinating For the New Two stamp sets – and what a perfect gift for a Wedding – or for a special Wedding Anniversary…though the JUST married sentiment would have to be changed for an anniversary!

And I have to own up to particularly loving the stamped and cut-in-half doilies on the outer page sections. They lift up so you can still slide a photo under if needs be…. such a delicate addition!

Now I am hoping that I may have some more photos of this book to share in the near future … as everyone made the outer book cover in different colours as I thought it was better made from the slightly more robust coloured cardstock… so – instead of the Whisper White in my sample. We had Blackberry Bliss (wow!) , Blushing Bride (dreamy) and Rich Razzleberry (rich!)– all of which looked stunning – but – silly me - I let them all go without taking any photos!!

Fancy making one of these for yourself…
