a promise made & the getaway car!

Published by diane (cookiestamper) at 6:32 pm under Stampavie, Stampin' Up!, cards, etc.

This summer I needed several wedding cards and here are the two designs I came up with. 

I made about 3 or 4 of this first card a few months ago but haven’t posted it yet ’cause I didn’t want one of my readers to see it.  ;0)

a promise made….I love that sentiment!

Here’s a close up of the rings.  They were attached with rolled glue dots.  It’s too hard to read in this picture but “I Love You” is inscribed in the one with the diamond.  It’s so sweet!  Sorry…I tried hard to get a better pic.

And here is a side view so you can see how the layers were popped.

Here’s my second wedding card….it is very similar in colors and papers.

The Getaway Car….

This is such a fun image by Stampavie!  It is called Wedding Squirrels and is from the Tina Wenke collection. 

I couldn’t resist using another piece of that same dp when I saw it had the words “The Getaway Car” on it!  How perfect.

The image was colored with Copics and I used chalks on the ground and sky for a softer appearance.

Some pearl stickers in the Prima flowers helped to “dress” this one up.  And I added the EK Success Parisian border along the bottom.  Love that punch!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 

first card:

stamps- SU! To Have & To Hold; paper- PTI White, SU! Basic Gray, Flair Designs; ink- Memento Black; accessories- Cuttlebug Just My Type, Copics, Oval Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Lattice punch, Dress It Up Wedding Rings, glue dots, pop dots.

second card:

stamp-Tina Wenke Wedding Squirrels by Stampavie; paper- white, Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, Flair Designs; ink- Memento Black; accessories- Copics, chalks, Oval Nestabilities, EK Success Parisian punch, Primas, pearl stickers.

EDIT:  I have had several questions about where to purchase the paper and rings.  I bought both of them at my local Ben Franklin store.  I did a quick search and found the paper here and the rings are here (this one is ebay).  I have never purchased from either of these venders before…I just found the links to help in your search.  Good luck and thanks for your comments.  :0)

    I really love these two weddings cards you made besides I have your newsletter I am amazed at the beautiful work you tend to bring up everytime !!! I looked for this Flair Design cardstock that you used but don’t seem to find it anywhere but it fit so as background ! You don’t recall where exactly you found it, by chance! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas and I really enjoy your work. I am glad I am having more time to look since I am stuck at home after having a tumor removed on the side of my knee and just found out its not cancer! I also got some news stamps but with a heavy brace and crutches I am having a hard time to position myself to stamp so I can’t stay in one spot…. bored out of my mind. Thanks for sharing!
