Oh my goodness, the birthday, Christmas & New Year celebrations have come, gone & become a memory already & now it's February!! Ekkk!!
And now I'm trying to play catch-up from the time that I have had away from my business...a bit of a mistake, I think??
That's why I'm here participating in Kylie's Blog Hop, giving my blog some desperately needed CPR!!
So with this in mind, here is one of the projects that I have made this week. I found out that the mother of a friend was recently married to her partner of 21 years, during January & I loved the idea of making a card to celebrate the occasion.
And the third embossing folder I used, for the back of the card, was the Subtle one, just to give a softer look, rather than the stark white of our beautiful Whisper White cardstock.
I then painted each of them using Wink of Stella, to give the hearts a little bit of glimmer & added the beautiful pearls for a touch of class.
Teaming the Silver Embossing powder, I stamped a sentiment from the Sending You Thoughts set, (available FREE during Salebration, ask me how) & mounted this.
So, of course, I JUST HAD to complete the 'set' & went ahead & made a card for 2 grooms & then a bride & groom.
For each of these cards, I simply embossed Congratulatios inside.And of course, I always dress up the envelope, Going back to the original card), the new wife s must have a tease of what lays inside, right?
For those interested, here is my Live video from last week, where you can see how I put this card together...
Thanks for looking at my blog, Jo Weedon, I'd love to see you back here again, soon.
Now onto someone else who has been busy with their creations!!

Great set of wedding cards Jo! Thank you for taking part in our Demonstrator Training Support Program Blog Hop this month!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity Kylie.
DeleteGreat cards. And thank you for showing me a way to make a wedding card for a same sex couple; too many times the stamp sets say bride & groom & I'm not sure how to get around it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely words, Tania. I used the masking technique so that the extra words didnt end up on the card.. I am happy with how they turned out.
