Autumn wedding card

Another card for a co-worker and dear friend. She showed me the wedding invitation for guidance on the colors and theme. Sooooo, rather than, you know, going outside and picking up real leaves, I went to my trusty Cricut!

The leaves were cut at 4 1/2" from A Child's Year cartridge. I then squeezed most of the moisture out of a wet wipe and inked it using various contrasting fall colors which I then dabbed on the leaves. I let the leaves partially dry, then sprayed the leaves with Snow Queen Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. The spray spread the ink a little bit, giving a nice natural mottled look to the leaves. I then let them fully dry before applying to the card. The sentiments were stamped, and I used various scraps and bits and pieces for the rest of the card.

Thanks for looking!

Wedding card easel

One of several wedding cards I made for a co-worker to choose from. Of course, I forgot to write any details down. About the only thing I can say is the cake is from Paper Doll Dress Up. The easel card seems to be my new favorite style. Thanks for looking!

Apple bushel basket birthday card

I made this card for a co-worker who was giving her sister an apple tree as a present. Her only request was that the card have something to do with apples. Well, I thought and thought and finally realized I could try one of those "flower pot" cards I've seen everywhere but never made myself.

I used Doodlecharms for both the basket (cut at 4 1/2", I think) and the apples (cut at 1 1/4") using scrap papers I had laying around. I printed the sentiment on the computer.

It seemed to be a big hit at work and I think it turned out pretty cute. Thanks for looking!
