Another Anna Griffin card - Wedding this time!

Hello friends,
I'm back with another card made using the Anna Griffin Lace trimmings dies and embossing folders on HSN! this one I made for a friends' wedding, but was unable to attend. I will have to mail! I had a problem with these on the new We R Memory Keepers AS Evolution Advanced Machine I just received. Couldn't get the embossing to work on the diecut at the time so I embossed the border with the embossing folder and the HAND CUT! Later, I was determined to make it work and played around until I got it to work with a shim! so this card is actually done with the embossing border alone and not the diecuts!

I also used the new Anna Griffin® Soft Hues Metallic Card Layers, very pretty shiny paper! The top note came from "all about her" cardmaking kit! The diecut layer beneath the tag layer is from the Lace trimmings dies set.
thanks for stopping by! hope you have a great week!

Spring Break and "Fancy Nancy's Tea Party"

Hello friends, I'm posting today on the CricutFanatics blog today. If you haven't been to this blog, you need to check it out! lots of talent and inspiration and I'm proud to be a small part of it! They have challenges every month too!

Our awesome library has programs for the children during spring break and summer reading program. This year during spring break they had a "Fancy Nancy's Tea Party" and it was awesome! They had a professional ballerina come in and teach the girls some ballet steps for about 20 minutes and the girls were "Ecstatic"!!! to say the least! One of Fancy Nancy's favorite words I'm told. I never read the books, did you? But my granddaughter will be reading them now!! These are the first 2 pages my DGD and I worked on this weekend. And my DGD being the wonderful drama queen she is, and thats DRAMA with a capital D!, said "Nana, I can feel it!" and she had been complaining about a sore ankle from a fall at school so I asked it her ankle hurt. She places hands on chest and says "No, I can feel the love in those pages"! OMG! I about fell out of my chair! 

The pages are 8x8 and they are from a scrapbook I bought years ago on clearance because the pages were already decorated and I was just started to get into scrapbooking. Now they are perfect for this occasion. The title and the Ecstatic card were from the party. The top pic title as well as the teaparty die cut and tea set was cut using my own font and an SVG with older version of SCAL. The white doily mat was cut using one of the new WRMK mini 8 and matching border punch.The tea set looked kinda plain even though it was cut using DCWV shimmer paper. So I "stickled" them! The tea cup border was cut using Wall Decor at 1". The Tea party invite and balloons and princess was cut using "Best Friends" Imagine cart. I will post more later!! She'll be back next weekend but only for Easter, so it'll probably be in 2 weeks!

The Easter card is an A2 size card cut using CTMH Art Philosophy cart. The cross is from "Wedding" and they were embossed using Swiss Dots and a new AG Pirouette folder. Butterflies were cut using DCWV glitter paper and MS punch. And was glimmer misted with Dazzling Diamonds, of course!

Hope you enjoyed both! Happy Easter! Leave me a comment! I love to hear from you!

Wedding Card Tri-Shutter card using Silhouette

Well I'm finally getting caught up with the pictures I've taken of some of the projects/cards I've been working on! This one is a wedding card. A friend asked for a wedding card for her best friends sister.

The card is a file from the Silhouette store. I had this glittery silver and white striped paper forever that I'd won and always thought I'd use it for a wedding card! This was perfect for that paper. You can't see the glitter very well, if at all, in these pics but it stands out more in the embossed section! I used my new Anna Griffin folder "Foulard". I used a glue stick pen to draw the Wedding Wishes and Congratulations with the Silhouette and then used Silver Embossing powder! Its really pretty IRL!! Also the wedding rings! They are embossed on shimmery white paper. And the corners were punched and embossed with a fiskar corner punch. It came out beautiful and she was very happy with it!
Thanks for stopping by! Any questions, leave a comment! or just leave a comment. Love to hear from you!! Good or bad...Any suggestions for the next one is always great too!
Have a great end to your weekend!! I'm busy working on this weeks card class! Can't wait for them to see the cards this week. These ladies are all quilters and I found the perfect fairly easy card for them and I think they'll love it!! Pictures soon!
