Wedding card and invite ideas

 Hi everyone

As well as the weekly challenge at Polkadoodles, they also have a great new set of stamps for weddings.  They are so versatile and can be used for wedding stationary, as well as congratulations cards for getting married, engagement, anniversary etc.

I made a card using the sets, and incorporating a belly band wrap 

I stamped several of the images from the stamp set, fussy cut them out, and coloured them using copics.  Using a landscape 5X7 card, I scored to make a gatefold card and using a strip of pink card, wrapped it around for the band.

I then cut a scalloped circle and a plain circle using the same pink card and some white card respectively, and layered the fussy-cut images.  To make the heart panels, I used the tiny heart stamp in the set and randomly stamped in pink over a piece of white card, before trimming the panels to size.  

I decided to showcase his as an invite, but it could be for any love-style celebration really.

Tiddlyinks Molly Swims image on 5x7 card

 Hi crafting friends, 

I'm back with a super cute card made using a Tiddlyinks image that I have had on my computer for ages and never used.  She's so cute, and perfect for the summer!

She is called Molly Swims and can be found on Etsy under the Tiddlyinks shop.

The backing papers are also from Etsy from a shop called Jenny L and these papers are called Secret Garden.  Again I downloaded ages ago and have not used them.

I cut the stripy paper leaving a 1-inch strip for the patterned floral paper.  The image was coloured with copics and fussy cut out.  I used a stitched circle die and placed it off the page to highlight the Molly.  The 'Hello' die is from Penny Black as is the sunshine sentiment, they are a seperate die and stamp set but work together to make phrases.  I then coloured the 'hello' in the same pink used on the rubber ring.

As a final touch, I put glossy accents onto the rubber ring and her sunglasses for a bit of shine.

She is just too cute!

I'd like to enter this into:

Z fold card with spring gnomes

Hi Crafting friends.

This week I'd like to share a photo of a card I made for the latest polkadoodles challenge.

 I used one gnome image called Spring gnome - plants but I wanted more than one pot.  There is only one in the original gnome image so after printing this I cropped the main gnome out, and then cut and pasted several pots.  I made some smaller, some larger, and even flipped some so they added variance to the image.

I wanted this card to be really striking so I opted for a different fold, a 'z fold'.  The card is a 5 x 7 top-fold black, and I scored at 2.1/2 inches on the front folding it back to make a z fold card.  I coloured all of the images and fussy cut them, before arranging them on the card blank.  I used a dotty lilac card stock from my stash in the background to make a really happy spring card.

the sentiment is a stamp from Polkadoodles and a friend stamp from Crafters companion that I die cut in white and coloured with copics to match the image colour scheme 

I'd like to enter this into:

Moving along with the times - fun fold
