Love Is In the Air

One of my dearest friends got married last weekend and I wanted to make them something special.  Thanks to her sister, I snagged their engagement photos.

Here is what I cam up with! 

It's a LOT of Cricut cuts from the Artbooking cartridge (the Pacifica cardstock overlay, the Ruby cardstock hearts, Black cardstock photo mat & the sentiment YOU+ME and the frame it's on).  

I cut up the Hearts so I could use part of it (that was going to be blocked anyway) on the right side to tie it all together & pull the Ruby to the other side.

I distressed the Pacifica overlay, the For Always {retired} papers, and the Ruby photo mat, using stamp pads, for dimension.  I popped the YOU+ME sentiment with 3D foam Tape & adhered the two of them (for a shadow affect) using Liquid Glass (a MUST have if you don't have it already!).

Using the zip strip from the For Always paper pack, I backed it with the Silver Glitter Paper to make it pop.  I thought the saying was super sweet & fitting for this couple! The Silver Glitter Paper is also what I cut the YOU+ME frame from and what I used to back the hearts in the Black photo mat.

I placed my overall creation on a 9x9 canvas using Liquid Glass.  As you can see in the second picture, I spray painted the edges with a silver shimmer paint.

It's been a long time coming & I'm so truly happy for them and hope that they enjoy having this unique item in their home.

It's Your Day

Another card featuring the Scaredy Cat paper pack and the coordinating stamp set to the Cut Above card kits.

"Themed" paper doesn't have to always be for that theme!! This is a generic card using papers from a Halloween geared paper pack.  That's why I love Close to My Heart - versatility on top of quality!!

Trick or Treat

Isn't this a fun card?!  

The Scaredy Cat paper is too cute!! I even stamped the envelope with the pumpkin.
