Flowering Vine Congratulations Card

The SU! 'Vine Design' stamp set and 'Flowering Vine' die set have been in my stash for quite a while and I finally got round to using them for an engagement congratulations card!  Here's the card and envelope together.

I used pretty paper from the 'Expressions in Ink' DSP pack, Polished Pink CS, white CS and a touch of gold foil.  I used a Foam Adhesive Sheet when I die cut the floral oval shape so that it was dimensional.  The sentiment label is popped up on dimensionals.  I die cut several gold foil hearts using a die from the 'Mini Treat Bag' die set and glued three to the white panel.  I added a few Polished Pink jewels to finish off the front.

Here's the inside of the card.  I die cut the circle floral die in Polished Pink CS.  The sentiment is from the 'Forever Fern' stamp set.

Here's the envelope.  I covered the flap with a piece of patterned paper, used a die from the 'Basic Borders' set to create a fancy edge, punched a gold foil circle and popped up the heart die cut element which is from the 'Wreath Builder' die set.

Sparkly Congratulations Engagement Card

My friend Kath asked me to make a personalised engagement card for her grandson Mark and his fiancee Steph.  Mark has just proposed while on holiday with Steph and Kath wants to pop the card through their letter box so it's waiting for them when they get back from holiday at the weekend so there wasn't a lot of time for me to hang about with this one!

I've always liked the champagne glasses 'celebrate' card on page 41 of the UK SU! catalogue so that was my starting point.  I decided to mount the glasses on a circle to go in the centre of the gorgeous Hello, Doily stamp.  I stamped the Doily in Blushing Bride ink, trimmed the white panel to size, layered onto a Basic Gray mat and attached the layers to a 5 1/4" square Blushing Bride card base.  I inked the glass stamp with Blushing Bride ink so that I had pink bubbly and then I added Basic Gray ink to the glass with a marker pen.  I fussy cut both glasses, popped them up and added jewels for the bubbles. I then punched some silver glitter hearts, glued a couple flat to the card and popped a couple up.  I computer generated the sentiment using the Euphoria Script font and layered it onto a Basic Gray strip.

I cut a white panel for inside the card, stamped the sentiment and partial doilies at opposite corners and added more punched hearts.  The envelope flap got punched hearts too!

I was pleased how this card came together and I just hope the happy couple like it!
