Wedding card Idea - You and Me Forever - Happily Ever After - Confetti acetate - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Tuesday - It's our town Feria this week and my cousin and her hubby are going to be joining us for the fun....it's going to be an exciting few days with lots of music, eating and probably far too much drinking but then we have a few quieter days chilling and recovering before they head back to the UK.  

I'm looking forward to the Feria as I have a new Flamenco dress to wear this year although it's looking like it's going to be a hot day for dressing up with predicts temperatures of 32C.

It's definitely cooled off in the evenings and the mornings are lovely but still a bit too hot to do loads of work in the garden....good job we'll be in holiday mode for a few days LOL.

  

I'm back today to share a sweet A7 or 5x7 wedding card.  I don't actually make many wedding cards, usually when I need one really but a while ago I was gifted a lovely piece of acetate that has confetti embedded into it and I decided it was perfect for this design in my head.

I chose one of the gorgeous digital stamps from the recent wedding / anniversary release by Lili of the Valley (LOTV) available from the Etsy shop. 

This image is called You and Me Forever, resized and then coloured with Promarkers before fussy cutting out. 

The collection includes 11 gorgeous little images that come in black and white line art for you to colour and they are just perfect for weddings or anniversaries.

 

I adhered the panel of confetti acetate on the card base and then used an arched die to cut out a window from a piece of white card.  A brick wall stencil was used with a pale grey distress ink to add texture to the background and then a pale grey card arch was cut to create the look of a doorway.

I adhered the brick wall panel onto the card base with foam tape and then the little couple were mounted on foam at the bottom of the archway.  I wanted to create the look of the couple standing in a doorway with confetti falling behind them and am really please how it came out.

Finishing touches of clear sparkle on the wedding dress, veil and head dress, clear sparkly gems and the sweetest little 'Happily ever After' sentiment.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)



Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Cute Creatures - Sending Paper Hugs - Peacock - Set 1 with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone happy Friday - The last day of July is here and I hope you have had a great month.

I'm off to my very relaxing yoga class this morning and then we are going to Granada for the day, shopping, eating and to watch the new Spiderman film and cool off a little LOL.

I'm back today to share another cute and fun A6 card using another of the very cute creatures from the Cute Creatures collection by Lili of the Valley (LOTV). Both sets are available now from the Etsy shop

If you haven't had a look, it's a fantastic collection of 2 sets of images, that you can buy separately or as a complete collection - I know which I would choose as its a fantastic price for what's included. Each set contains 93 cute little creatures or you can get all 186 creatures.

Today for my fun and colourful card I have used the gorgeous little peacock from set 1.  

I resized the little peacock for a landscape A6 card printing out and colouring with my promarkers before fussy cutting out.

Next I created an embossed background panel.  Ive had the peacock feather embossing folder in my stash for many many years LOL so cut a panel of white card and then inked the raised feathers with distress oxide ink before running through my cutting machine.  I wanted to add a little more colour so added more green ink and passed the folder through the machine a second time.  Next I used a deep blue acrylic paint and my brayer to add the dark paint over the panel, carefully applying a thin layer and building up the coverage slowly so not to fill the green feathers with pain. I love the matt texture this gives to the card.

I created a split panel landscape card, cutting the front panel of the card adding the embossed panel to the top with a strip of acetate in the middle.

The sentiment sticker was added to the acetate, so it appears to flow and the coloured peacock was adhered across the two panels.

To finish off the card I have added gold confetti, white a metallic gold gel pen and clear sparkle pen.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)


Hasta luego 👋

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Hugs - Shutter card - Sweet Wishes - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Monday....our wonderful feria here in Orgiva is now over for another year and life is getting back to normal, the best part is we have wonderful rain.  

It probably sounds weird to my UK friends but after so long without rain and such a hot dry summer its a welcome relief - you can hear the garden sighing!

I'm here today with a sweet card for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) featuring a cute little bear from the Sweet Wishes digital stamp set available in the Etsy shop.

It's a huge set of 14 cute little images and the sweetest sentiments....perfect for loads of different occasions and there is a fabulous 60% Sale off everything in the shop until to celebrate World Cardmaking day on 4th October. 

Just some simple colouring with my promarkers for the bear before fussy cutting him out. 

As most of you know I don't tend to make many interactive cards but for this I wanted to have a go at a shutter card and I was pleasantly surprised once I had got my head around the measurements.

For the instructions on how to make the card I followed a tutorial by Inky Inspirations. 

This is the tutorial that I followed, I made a few tweaks to the measurements to suite my card base and envelope.

The background papers I have used are from the Sweet Candy papers....the little balloon is also from the Sweet Wishes stamp set.

Finishing touches were some teal confetti around the design.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Unusual Shape Floral Card - Helga Hippo Collection - Digi Choosday - Sprinkling a little Love with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday.  I hope that you have a lovely day today and that you enjoy your week ahead.

It's that time of the week when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

The theme set for the DT this week is to create ' an unusual shaped floral card ' so I decided to create a pretty floral wreath card.

The card when flat fits perfectly into a standard 6" x 6" envelope.  I printed out one of the papers, a sentiment and also lots of flowers and leaves from the pre-coloured clip art flowers and foliage bundle.  I fussy cut out the flowers and leaves for my project and used a dark grey pen to outline the flower edges, hiding any white edges,

To create the card base itself I cut a piece of 6" x 6" white card and scored this at 3" to create a smaller tent fold base.  Next I use a couple of fancy circular dies to cut out 3  circular frames from the same white card, cluing two of these together to create a strong circle.  Next I cut a circle of acetate and then glued this to the circular frame before adding the third white circle over the top to hide the glued area.

I then used the smaller of the circular dies to cut into the top of my tent fold card, using the card envelope to determine how low to position the frame on the panel.

Once the base card was cut I added one of the patterned papers to the bottom, using the same die to cut out the top section.  To prevent the card from opening too much and to help it stand up better, I cut a strip of white card 1" x 2" scoring this at 1/2 ", 1", 1 1/2", concertina folding this to create an M shaped piece.  This was adhered inside the card at the bottom centre.

Next I adhered the oval frame to my base card and the decorated the wreath with the fussy cut flowers and leaves.

The sentiment was adhered into the centre of the acetate frame and I adhered a piece of white card to the back of the acetate to hide the glue - this can also be used to write a message on.

Finishing touches where some teal confetti around the design and  stickles to the centres of the flowers.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next card I share from Polkadoodles

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
