Detailed Floral Anniversary

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

I needed a 40th anniversary card for a relative and CASEd this design from a friend. After I started I making it, I thought I could alter it a bit to fit one of this week's challenges, but no matter what I tried, I just couldn't make it work. So here it is on my blog, where probably no one will see it because it's not in a challenge! (I'll add it to Pinterest though, so maybe it will get some traction there!)

The retired Lovely Lipstick Foil is my go-to for 40th (ruby) anniversary cards.

I didn't have any Lovely Lipstick ribbon, but I think this silver-edged white ribbon is a nice complement to the foil paper. And I love these Iridescent Pearls!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - More Ruby Anniversaries!

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for more 40th anniversaries that my friends are celebrating this year.

This design is called a vertical trifold window card and was inspired by a video I saw by Wendy Lee. I'm trying really hard to use up some of my stash of retired products so I pulled out the Berry Burst cardstock and Fresh Florals DSP for this. I knew I wanted a foil but couldn't decide between gold and silver, so I went with Lovely Lipstick instead. I think it coordinates pretty well!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

More October Cards

Hello and welcome back! Today I want to share some of the other cards I've made this month that weren't entered in challenges. Some are my own design, while others have been CASEd from Pinterest or from Stampin' Up! catalogs. 

These first two cards are for wedding anniversaries. For friends celebrating their 40th, which is the ruby anniversary, I came up with the color combination using the retired In Color Berry Burst. I changed out the sentiment on the front for other anniversaries.

This card was CASEd from the Annual Catalog and was made for a cousin who just lost her dog. I colored the dog to match hers and this card is a full-sized one, while the one in the catalog was smaller.

These two cards were made for friends who have just moved into new homes. I used the retired Wood Textures DSP for the doors, matching the color to the actual homes.

This card for October birthdays was also CASEd from the Annual Catalog. The only thing I changed was the ribbon and the pearls (the original used the Butterfly Gems, which I don't have yet).

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Playing Along with What Will You Stamp? #80

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for the Swirly Bird challenge at What Will You Stamp?

This bundle was one of the first things I ordered from the new catalog, and though I've used the thinlits several times, I hadn't yet inked up the stamps. Well, that changed today! Here's today's card:

As you may have noticed from several of my posts recently, it has been wedding season in our family. In the past year, two cousins, two nephews, and my son have gotten married, and tomorrow, it will be my niece's turn! Add in a couple of family friends, and we've been busy.

We're hoping for beautiful weather tomorrow, but no matter what, this is a sunny card! 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
