Bingo Card

I bought this Bingo Card background stamp to use with my xmas bingo bits stamps but went a bit outside of the box for this card which could be used for wedding ,engagement, anniversary or valentines. The bird is from Notably Ornate, the hearts are from I heart Hearts and the floral thingo is from Vintage Vogue. Not to everyones taste but something a bit different

Pillow Box Wedding Favour

This was very quick and easy! The hearts were punched with the full heart punch and embossed. The  pillow box was also embossed and to finish it all off I added a satin bow and  tag from Tiny Tags

Wedding Scrapbook pages

I was horrified when my husband informed me he had told his brother I would do their wedding album...d'oh! I am very much out of practice and not so keen...but I have managed a few 12 x 12 layouts today..I am sticking to the same colour scheme for the whole album using krumb cake,baja breeze and soft suede with Elegant Soiree designer paper...for this first one I pinched some ideas from the 6 x 6 layout we did at regionals and added a few of my own

and here is a double page...excuse the naff picture and the daggy tiles in the background lol...I added a hodgepodge bookplate, some sizzlet butterflies and some very vanilla ribbon.

 I have used a retired rub on in the bookplate and over stamped with a leaf from the just believe set.

 The hearts are from I Heart  Hearts..the ribbon is attached using sticky strip...that's enough scrapbooking for me for one day, I am over it!

I hope you enjoyed  Pauline Bennets wonderful creations.....here are a few of my own

 

This turned out pretty cool considering it was made from mostly recycled materials...This candle centrpiece would look pretty on wedding tables...I started with a base made from a cardboard circle from an empty ribbon spool which I covered with alfoil..The leaves were cut from coke cans with the Leaves #2 die . I have embossed some of them with the Elegant Lines embossing folder. I used a hot glue gun to arrange the leaves over the base...the actual candle holder part is the bottom of a coke can and I added a bit of bling. The butterflies are Wonderful Wings embosselits and I used Vellum cardstock for those and added some bling to their centres

 

Those butterflies are soooo pretty...love em!

                                   

Sticking with the wedding theme, I made this bride card using a template I found on Jan Tinks blog. The Elegant Lines Embossing folder reminds me of beautiful bridal fabric.Her bouquet is made with a scalloped circle punched from vellum cardstock. The roses are actually quite small...I punched some 1 3/8 circles. I just cut them into spirals and rolled them up...I didn't use the whole circle, I just cut off the excess when the roses were as big as I needed.

I have to thank Jane Norrish for teaching me this wonderful technique..it's called double embossing and it looks so effective. The Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder was brayered with versamark, then the designer paper was placed in the folder and run through the Bigshot...It was then heat embossed with Black embossing powder..I then added the Wonderful Wings butterflies.

Last of all a simple dress up job..I got this memo block at the junk shop for $1...what a bargain...I added a few butterflies and leaves just to tizzy it uop a bit..that's what I love about the Bigshot, it's so vesatile..not only for cards but to make everyday items look a bit special!
