Back in the saddle...or on the broomstick, whichever the case may be!

I finally got to do some card making!! Yaaa!

We have pretty well settled in the new house and every once in a while I get the chance to actually look at my crafting stuff! Then a miracle of miracles. I got the chance to work on Halloween party invites:

I got the inspiration for this card from this blog: Fantastical World of Holidays

The poem reads:

She weaved a web of silver thread,

a doily for her date.

A little fly with big brown eyes,

quickly approaching fate.

Stamps: Inkadinkadoo
Paper: Stampin' Up
Ink: Brilliance
Spider webs: Hand drawn with silver glitter pen
Embossing: Clear embossing powder for spider and webs

I was so happy to get to craft. My next project will be favors and things for the party. So, here's hoping I will have another post very soon with more to come!!

Beach themed wedding invitation

I have a little business (if you even want to call it that), making wedding/event invitations and such. I mainly work with a local camp/conference center as a part of their event program. If someone wants an all inclusive package, or just my products; I can provide invitations, favors, scrapbooks, cards, etc. All the trimmings! There is currently a bride who is interested in having a beach themed wedding so I have been working on some samples for her. This is the first invitation I have made. I made it a little more elegant so that she could have several options for style and price.

I originally got the idea for this invitation here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...e%20the%20date

I heat embossed the waves at the bottom with holographic embossing powder. I used black ribbon and twine for the bow at top. I printed the wording onto vellum. (I found the wording online). The lighthouse is stamped on cardstock underneath the vellum.

I am happy with how it turned out. It makes me want to have another wedding. To the same man of course!! ;)
