True Love-She's A Sassy Lady DT Project

Happy Sizzling July Krafty People!

It’s my day over at She’s A Sassy Lady! I had so many 4th of July plans to share BUT my plans crumbled. Love can bring metaphoric fireworks right? I know, kind of a stretch! Well, I have an anniversary card to share today!

My pastors celebrated 16 years of marriage. I would say some kind of fireworks had to be ignited…at least sparklers? If you knew them, you would understand the love and affection they share with each other.

Ok, enough with puns, on to the project! I used Design Space to design the card. I used the Sweethearts and Beyond Birthdays cartridges. I selected the images I desired and imported them onto the virtual mat. I made the frame by inserting a shape (square) and resizing it into a rectangle. Once  I was satisfied with the size, I duplicated the shape, aligned it and sliced the shape. 

Then I took the word “Love” and duplicated that twice and lined it up inside the frame. Then I added “True love” to the bottom and welded the words and shape together. After I was happy with the design, I cut them out using the Bo Bunny Crush collection and solid white Neenah white card stock. The little hearts were on the side and cut later. I also cut the “L” for love in a solid black. I later added “16” to represent the number of years of marriage. 

Once everything was cut out, I layered the pattern paper on the card stock for stability. I added the transparency to build a shaker card (last minute decision). I used the hearts (which were going to be added to the front) as the confetti and added some sequins to the inside. I also have the “16” peaking out at the bottom. For a finishing touch and shimmer, I added a little Wink of Stella to the “True Love”. 

Here is the finished card:

True Love

Hello Krafters!

Many of us Krafters love to use EVERYTHING! I printed a photo of my friend and her hubby in B&W when I was doing the tile for them. I scrapped my original idea for a card and decided to use this photo of them for a true personalized card. I love how the photo crinkled because it makes the picture look aged!

Short and sweet J I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Have a good day, Krafthead~

17 Years~

Hi Krafters!

It has been a very long week and it is not even over yet LOL! My friend and her husband recently celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. They met in college. They were just friends, but the husband was in a bad car accident. He had to leave school, and for a short time they kept in touch by writing letter. Eventually the letters stopped. A few years went by and my friend found out they he had married. She became engaged. More years went by and they ended up being in a wedding party together. By that time, her engagement was called off and he just finalized his divorce. Long story short, they are married a short time later and now have three beautiful children!

I thought this was the perfect card for them! It is not too feminine, but not too masculine either. I am in love with the Picot Edge Die so I find I am using it on almost everything I can LOL! I had to use it! This card was inspired by the Love Notes stamp. It went well with the postage stamp cut from the Sentiment Cricut Cartridge. I also knew I wanted to incorporate the numbers pattern on the TC B&W Imagine Cartridge.  I added a Pendant to emphasize the number 17 on the pattern…this is probably one of my favorite projects to date!

I hope you all enjoyed today’s project. As always, thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
