cards bonanza part 7 : wedding card

white on white -- that was an experiment i've been meaning to do for a while. i chose a white mat on a white card base. i quite like it and will repeat the experience.

i think it's stylish, elegant. and it highlights the main embellishment.

in my cards bonanza video, i spoke about using stickles to prevent the ends of a ribbon from fraying. it's a neat trick i discovered out of necessity -- i was afraid to burn the edges of my ribbon by using my heat tool. it's a fragile organza and it's white... just remember to allow time to dry if you're using stickles.

the main embellishment is matted on a piece of handmade glitter cardstock. i also added a bling on the bouquet... or is it her ring?! lol

it's the start of a brand new week -- make it count creatively by trying something new! CeeCee

cards bonanza part 6 : gift tags

it's no secret : i like making with small cards, books, 3d stuff. small is so enticing for me because your project takes a whole new dimension when you layer embellishment over embellishment. all of a sudden your small card is... well not so small anymore. it's become important.

when i started my cards bonanza, it was clear to me that i was going to have a lot of leftover cardstock. so i made gift tags.

they measure 2" X 2".

some are simple.

some are not so simple.

some are funky.

some are glittery.

all of them unique.

they all sport a silver elastic cord that can be attached to a gift bag handle or a big bow.

they're a fantastic way to use up all your bits and pieces and i like that!

happy day! CeeCee

cards bonanza part 5 : dream a dream + make a wish

i'm so in love with these colors : baja breeze, kiwi kiss and white. what a combo! when i'm not using teal, baja breeze is the one i grab for. i have a feeling that the new in colors pool party, lucky limeade and island indigo from stampin' up! are going to be my other fav combo. they're coming soon -- july 1st, my friends! i can't wait to show you those yummy colors.

on to today cards now --

same elements, different quotes and colors -- both fun. i love paper that incorporates text. it's such a fun element to play with.

this one is more feminine... i had some leftover flower rhinestones from my cards from yesterday so i added them here. i like the one on the heart :-)

this one could easily be a masculine card if you were to replace the flower rhinestones with tiny metal brads.

have a great day! CeeCee
