Laugh, Breathe,Love, Live ~ tied together purple

Hello bloggers Newsflash! yesterday the postman delivered £100 worth of vouchers for Hobbycraft it seems I won a competition from October.  How happy am i. :)

Onto today, I have a purple card for you as purple is one of the on trend colours of 2014.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First using some lilac pearlescent paper I embossed it using Couture Creations 'tied together' embossing folder.  I then wrapped some purple and silver ribbon around the paper and secured it behind.  The paper was adhered to the front of the card.  Next I hand tied a bow and added it to the card using a glue dot.  Next using some purple paper stock I die cut it using Spellbinders 'eyelet squares' die set.  I then took the next size die down in the set and cut a purple one from some pearlescent card stock and a white one from white card stock.  Onto the white die cut I stamped my sentiment using Creative Expressions 'buttons' stamp set and dusty concord distress ink.  The die cuts were then layered up at different angles to give some detail and interest to the topper.  Finally using Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA I added a faux pearl to each intersection of the tied together embossed pattern.

Stampin up Wedding cake white on white

Hello bloggers today's card is a wedding card as we are in the wedding season I thought it was appropriate.

Here's a close up of the cake in the center

First I began with an A6 hammered card blank which I embossed with the 'tied together' embossing folder from Creative Expressions.  Next using some white glitter card I die cut using Spellbinders 'hearts square' die.  A smaller heart square was also die cut from white card stock, which I then stamped with perfect medium clear ink and added cosmic shimmer 'true white' embossing powder.   The stamp set used was Stampin up 'love and laughter'. This was then heat set with a heat gun from behind.  The sentiment was stamped with perfect medium  and embossed using true white embossing powder and a hear gun to set it.  The layers were the adhered together and attached to the card blank.  The sentiment was then cut out and added to the card using mounting foam. Using some of the waste from the hearts squares die I adhered two glitter card hearts to the sentiment. The next job was to add faux pearls to all the intersections on the tied together embossing folder, this was done using Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA white glue.  Finally shop brought roses were attached to the card.

This card is being entered into the following challenge:
