Scrapbook Layout

So I have done it, I have created a full page and loved every minute of creating it! I started with one of our Sepia toned wedding photos and built my page around that. I decided to go with a mono print background I did in dark, rich colors and one of my background stamps.  Then I added some paper rosettes with enamel dots and buttons and layered those onto a paper heart. To mount the photo I chose to round my corners and used some Distress Ink on the mat to keep that vintage theme going. I used a quote from our wedding invitations and more Distress Ink. I adhered the photo with foam tape and added another paper flower with a rain stone center. 

The finished version. 

To do the mono print background I used the Creative Palette from Stampendous an I found it to be very easy to use and clean.

I will be doing more projects like this soon with videos, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting! 

Card making is...

My favorite thing to do right now! I have been making cards like crazy and using markers and stamps. These are the cards I've made in the past week. 

Tons of thanks! 

This was done with Copic markers, distress ink, and then matted. 

Robot birthday! 

This used a stencil I created with my Cricut,  Copic markers, distress ink,  some miniature gears, and then it was layered. 

A bonus birthday card. 

This used Copic markers, a die, an embossing folder, and a white gel pen. 

A wedding shaker card. 

This used distress ink, Copic markers, the fuse tool, and a Wink of Stella Pen.

I'll be posting a few videos for how to make these cards soon. Until then, Happy Crafting! 

DIY Pocket Wedding Invitations Part 2

In Part 1 we made the envelopes and part of the backing, this will show how to complete the invitation. I used Word to design my text and graphic inside of a 4" x 6" space and printed it. 

Tree graphic with 2 little birdies. 

I then cut them out and used my glue runner to adhere them to the flat part of the invitation.  I decided to move the glitter rectangle to go "inside"/behind the pocket, because I liked how it looked. 

Glitter paper in pocket. 

I also added a quote that I printed and then placed that on top of a rectangle of coordinating vellum, but let creativity be your guide, this was just what I chose. 

I also used word to type up my directions and RSVP. They directions were cut to 4" x 5.5", but anything under 5"x 7" will fit.  I cut the RSVP to 3.5" x 5.5" so that when they were stacked together they would later nicely.

Inserts in pocket. 

Now you're all done! The invitations here will fit inside A7 sized envelopes and the RSVP inserts will fit inside A2 sized envelopes.  Mine were .70 to mail each, and I also added a small Velcro closure for my invitations to give them a little, well, snap. :) Happy Crafting!
