Celebrating one hundred years


Next weekend we are going to a "100 year celebration".  Friends of ours are both turning 50 and so jointly share 100 years.

It took me a lot of thinking to come up with a card that reflected a part of both of them and that also wasn't too "flowery" and "OTT".

I used a "Double Dutch Fold" card template that came out on Splitcoast Stampers a while back and then went searching for suitable stamps to use for the card.

This is what I have come up with.  Happy Birthday Robin  & Mack!  Hope you have a great time next Saturday.

Never Ending Wedding Card


This week I have been making a Never Ending wedding card for Rhiannon who is getting married next month.

These cards are great fun to make as you have to go searching through all your supplies to find just the right stamp for the many pieces that are needed.  The card looks like a square but as you fold each time you see a completely different layout of images and sentiments.

As you can see I have used various stamps sets (some retired and some not SU product) to create this card.  I enjoyed using the Morning Mocha DS paper.  It adds a luxurious look and feel to the card.

I have run classes showing how to make a Never Ending Card previously but if you are interested in learning (or relearning) how to make one of these cards please contact me and I will include this card in one of my workshops.
