Engagement!

 

Valentine's Day is over but I wanted to make a romantic card for my nephew and his new fiance!  I used Martha Stewart's punch around the page for the background.  The silhouette is from Cheery Lynn Designs as is the ornate heart that surrounds them.  I used a Spellbinder's die ( what is it called?)  with silver paper for the center.  

Here is a shot of the back of the card- This is an older Stampin Up stamp( can't remember the name of this one either)- that I love!

 I am so happy for both of them!!!  I haven't made an engagement card in ages!!

A Bling Birthday!

I wanted to try to make this interlocking Gate Card for my sister Adrianne's birthday card. I am late in sending it to her so I wanted it to shine!  I used the Want to Scrap Nestabling gems to give it some Sparkle! I used Heartfelt Creations die for the inside. The die cuts in the corner are from Cheery Lynn Design and both sizes of Spellbinder's dies were used to make the center squares.  I love the way this card opens and closes!!  Check out Becca's instructions on how to make this card on her blog, Amazing Grace.You will have to scroll down to find her video.   Her card is just beautiful!
