A Wedding Thank You

Today is a BIG day! I will be getting my Holiday catalogue pre-order today! The Holiday Catalogue is AMAZING and I can't wait to start creating and sharing some of the great new products coming out! But lets get on with the card!

My little sister - Catherine - is getting married and I will be making the Save the Dates, wedding invites and thank you cards - don't worry I will be posting about this adventure while it is under way. Cath and I are still hashing out details with the invites but she has chosen this style for her thank you cards, so I have started to make them up for her. Don't they look so elegant? The colours she has chosen are similar to Elegant Eggplant and Bermuda Bay so half of everything will be in those two colours. This card was actually quite quick to put together. I ran the Elegant Eggplant through the Big Shot with the swirls envelop (which isn't stampin up I am afraid but we all have items in our craft rooms from different places right?) cut them into the flags then added the white and black strip a quick stamp and it was done.

Quick tip: I used my hexagon punch to make the flags! This way I would insure that they were all even and looked the same - I will be sure to post pictures of how you do that in the next few days - once I have the hubby home to hold the camera while I am doing it lol!

Dee-Litefully Yours,

If you would like me to mail you out a catalogue send me an email and I will be sure to get it out to you! Ordering starts on Aug 28 so don't wait!!

Hexagon Challange 4

This card went a totally different way then I ever would have thought to go and it looks so great! Christine made this one and she punched the hexagon out of the Whisper White then added her stamped hexagons on top of the openings with dimensionals! I never would have thought to do this but I am definitely going to CASE this and use it - because the outcome is so fresh and new!

I want to thank all the ladies who did the challenge and also thank them for allowing me to copy and share their designs with all of you!

Have a Dee-Liteful Day

Hexagon Challange 2

This card was made by Julie. It is so different and I love it! She told me that she stresses out if things are perfect so she has started to "throwing things on the page" and where they land is where she sticks them. The "Hello Friend" sentiment was placed and purpose and I like how she just kept it on the white background and lifted the sentiment with a dimensional! This goes to show you that it doesn't have to be perfect placement to get a great card!

Dee-Litefully Yours,
Diana

Hexagon Challange 1

 

It amazes me every time how creative people can be! I had some ladies doing some crafting and I gave them a "challenge" They all go the same materials and colours and they had to create a card using them. So over the next few days i am going to show you what they came up! It is so cool to see how different ideas come from the same products! Here are the supplies I had for them to use

• Whisper White card stock - one for the card base and a 5 X 4 sheet of "scraps"
• Night of Navy cut at 5 X 4
• Ink pads in: Elegant Eggplant, Night of Navy, Garden Green and Cajun Craze
• Six Sided Sampler Stamp Set
• Six Sided Punch

Over the next few days I will be posting their creations - and they are ALL so different! We will still be sticking with the July theme of Just Because July!



This one was made by Jodi. She used the Night of Nave as her base and then stamped and stuck the hexagons on to it. I love the honey-comb effect!

Dee-Lited with the turn out

Hexagon Happy

Have you ever started on a card and not been sure if you are going to like it? That is how this one started off. I wanted to use my Six Sided Sampler stamp set and punch and didn't know how it was going to turn out. So, I just started stamping with my Regals, punching out, and added a few dimensionals, A Thousand Thanks stamp and I LOVED it!! I know I have said this before but this is my favourite card that I have made to date! I am actually going to have a hard time giving it away, so the easy solutions? I going to make a whole batch more!

This was a good lesson for me, one that I am happy to pass along. If you start on something that you don't love, keep at it and you might be pleasantly surprised at the end!

Have a Dee-liteful day!
