Wedding Cards

Hi Y'all. I'm throwing off the sick blankets today and Will is taking me into the city for the Aroma Coffee festival that is on today at the Rocks :) I imagine we will be 2 of tens of thousands of people so I hope my sick little body is strong enough to cope!!

Remember I made a whole bunch of pink and brown wedding cards a few weeks ago, well I broke out of the pink wedding card mold to make some Blue and Brown Wedding cards using up almost a whole sheet of leftover 3D stickers from my massive stash {punching air}!! For this first card I also used the SU set Blooming With Happiness and the Hampton Art clear set Forever Wedding with Groovy Guava and Creamy Caramel. I love the bride and groom words and I managed to perfectly position them where I wanted them in relation to the double heart stamp. Success!!

Another one of my fave SU sets for wedding cards is the retired Happiness Always set. I had this rectangular 3D tag which is already dry embossed with leaves on it. "What on earth am I going to do with that?" I thought! Well I fiddled with some bits and pieces on my desk, finally adhering it to a scalloped rectangle I had cut with my Cuttlebug and Nestabilites dies and then embellished it with Prima flowers and some bling in the centres. I was so happy with how it turned out!! The ribbon is actually blue with brown and cream stripes so it goes a bit better IRL than here in the pic (trust me {wink!})
Then of course the Wordsworth stick people had to make an appearance cos i love this wedding set! I stamped the striped BG paper with my Autumn Leaves Flourish stamp, then embellished some of the ends of the swirls with tiny bling jewels. So cute!! The frame with the butterflies is off the same 3D sticker sheet as the other 3D embellishments on the other 2 cards, so happy to have used up that whole sheet!!
I hope you all have a great Sunday also, hoping we can get a car park in the city ok and I don't get too worn out!

I love the stick people and the AL flourish stamp. Your cards are beautiful. You're so good with cards. I find them so hard!

Does Will play Mah Jong? Tassy and I have been playing lately! I could barely remember how to play so had to refresh my memory by reading the guide and looking at a tutorial on youtube lol. We're doing ok tho and she likes it!
