I filled an order for 3 wedding cards. One had to be "beachy" the other 2, traditional.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since they were all for different weddings I knew it would be ok to keep them similar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first card had a shell, the second one, I used flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I embossed the flap of the envelope to coordinate with the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A nice touch I often forget. </div>

I saw this card on Stampin Connection. ( a site for SU Demos only) LOVE IT! The colors and simplicity of this card were perfect for the large group that day. Yikes...the sudden increase in attendance has caught me by surprise. At the last 2 classes, I had 15 in attendance!Give Me Glitter/Jade's Gemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12527435262297267148noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944441482491871425.post-37439703026041117222011-09-28T07:22:00.000-07:002011-09-28T07:25:47.497-07:00Side Step card... <b> This card was easy to create using my new <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122334">Simply Scored </a>tool!

I've added <strong><em>lots</em></strong> to that recently! ;) I was contacted by our local newspaper. They wanted details about the class I volunteer to teach at the Sr Center. I gladly gave an 1.5 hr interview and the reporter requested pics of the cards I created for the class...along with photos of the ladies working on their cards. I narrowed down to 20, the photos I sent. This was the ONLY picture published and I was quoted with just 2 sentences and those were taken out of context. The reporter didn't know what a rubber stamp was....??? I was kind of annoyed and embarrassed.Give Me Glitter/Jade's Gemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12527435262297267148noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944441482491871425.post-23851026667322510302011-04-25T09:56:00.000-07:002011-04-25T10:01:19.860-07:00Big Shot card...<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JHjPCnXqFmE/TbWoH12KWkI/AAAAAAAAG8U/ocg10CIN8fg/s1600/DSCN1358.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599566564371880514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JHjPCnXqFmE/TbWoH12KWkI/AAAAAAAAG8U/ocg10CIN8fg/s320/DSCN1358.JPG" /></a> I chose to keep the colors subdued for this sympathy card. i used Very Vanilla CS, Crumb Cake ink.

Tore out some pages and went to town. We used Verasmark and the swirly stamp from Elements of Style (love it!), then embossed in clear embossing powder. Next we sponged Summer Sun ink over the embossed swirl. The embossing swirl resists the ink and remained white.
