Congratulations

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I’ve had to go in and tweak this post, as I found it in my drafts… that’s what happens when a person has way too much going on, lol! But I AM getting caught up and it’s a good feeling! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in to share another sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps! Just in time for Halloween, this fun wedding congrats card features the Dancing Skeleton and Scalloped Oval stamp sets!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a layering panel from the oh-so-pretty Crafter’s Companion Floral Delight 6×6 paper pad which I adhered to the card base. I added a strip of Holiday Colors White Glitter Tape down each side. I stamped the coffin from the Dancing Skeleton stamp set on pink and blue prints from the same Floral Delight paper pad and fussy cut them. I stamped the skellys and their clothing (also from the Dancing Skeleton stamp set) on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, fussy cut the pieces, and added just a pop of color with alcohol markers on each. I placed them in their respective coffins and adhered them to the front card panel along with a die cut sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the Floral Delight paper, kraft and white cardstock, stamped the sentiment from the Scalloped Oval stamp set in black ink and layered the panel on kraft cardstock.

And one more peek… super happy with how this turned out! Love these skellys and their bride and groom garb! ;)

Hi everyone! Welcome to February… it sure got here fast! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Polkadoodles Craft Challenge and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Week 5 – Anything Goes Challenge, a pretty wedding congratulations card created with the absolutely adorable Bride and Groom digital image, one digital paper from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 2 Bundle and two digital papers from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 5. I also used sentiments from Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiments and Winnie Celebrations 2 Sentiments.

I really enjoyed coloring up this adorable image and pairing it with the soft digital papers and pop of gold. I used one of my favorite dotted dies to cut the image and layered the sentiment in vertical fashion.

I decorated the inside with some leftover strips of paper used on the front, and cut the sentiment with a mini stitched scalloped die (another favorite). I had a scrap piece of Paper Heaven 2 digital paper from Octavia Moonfly Big Kahuna Digital Craft Download Bundle laying on my desk that I used to layer the panel on.

Here’s one more look… love how this turned out!

Hello, my crafty friends! OMG, I couldn’t wait to share this Simply Crafty SVGs DT inspiration project created with the absolutely adorable (and FREE) Pencil Gift Card Holder! My great nephew graduated from high school and my granddaughter graduated from middle school. Hard to believe he is getting ready to go to college and she is getting ready to go to high school in the Fall. I made two of these and they loved them! :)

Of course, I used classic yellow and black cardstock for the pencil! And that pink eraser looks real, doesn’t it?! LOL, I’m totally LOVING this!
