Hello, Crafty Friends! Welcome to day 2 of the Die-Namites & So Suzy Stamps Blog Hop as we continue on with more crafty fun and inspiration!!

If you are just joining us you may want to start at the beginning of the hop, HERE.  If you are coming from Monica Monge-Taylor's blog, Taylormade Cards 4u, you are in the right place!!

Today I have a wonderful wedding/ anniversary card using the new Wedding Arbour (from Die-Namites)

Today, I will be featuring these awesome products from Die-Namites and So Suzy Stamps...

Wedding Arbour

Judy Garland 

I started by die-cutting my gazebo and couple out of plain white cardstock.

I colored in the gazeebo with  gray Spectrum Noir Markers (IG1, IG2, IG4) and leaves in IG4. Then I outlined and  drew in details with a PITT Artist Pen in XS. 

I used Spectrum Noir Markers FS3 & FS6  for the skin color. And, I used s PITT Artist Pen (XS) for the fine lines and details.

Then, I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink to stamp my sentiment... this beautiful quote by Judy Garland! Because So Suzy Stamps are deep red rubber stamps, every impression comes out crisp and clean.

After I stamped my sentiment, I inked the ages of my card front with brown chalk ink. Then I attached my arbour onto my card front, letting it over hang off the edge, and trimming away the excess. I used a Brush  (B) PITT Artist Pen to doodle lines around the perimeter of the card front. Then used a distresser to rough up the edges.

I made my card base from plain white cardstock and used a scalloped border punch along the bottom of  the card. Then used my Xyron Mega Runner to attach my gorgeous couple to my card front, and then attached card front to my card base.

Wedding Bliss Gift Tag

Hey there crafty friends!! I'm back again this week with more Teresa Collins papers!!

Today I have a gift tag to share with you. A friend of mine is getting married and her wedding is just around the corner. I don't know about you but I don't buy my greeting cards or gift tags. I prefer to make them. It makes the gift that much more special.

Supplies Used

Cut'n'boss (Craftwell)

Teresa Collins Pocket Dies by Craftwell- Doily & Heart Card (Lover's Lane), Numbers (Memory Collection), Scalloped Oval Frame (Thankful), Ring & Flower (Girl's Best Friend)

Teresa Collins Papers- Collectors Edition (Geometric), Project Pink (Cards) & (Gold)

Xyron Creative Station with 9" Permanent Adhesive Refill

Xyron Mega Runner 

Crop-a-dile

Chipboard

Tulle

Button

Embroidery Thread & Needle

Hot Glue & Glue Stick

Paper Flowers

Scissors

I started with 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" piece of chipboard. I cut one of the corners at a diagonal and used the triangular cut out as a template to cut the other side. This ensures that both side are cut at the same angle and are even. 

Then with a crafter's knife, I cut my "Geometric" paper to the exact shape and size of my chipboard tag. 

Next, I cut a couple card panels from Teresa Collins' Project Pink Cards paper. Then I used my heart card TC die to cut out the wood grain card to give a cute little heart window.

I love the gold on Teresa Collins' papers... it's not overwhelming like how some metallic or foiled papers can be. I cut my doily, numbers, and rings from the gold corner of the "Gold" paper. And for my scalloped frame I used more of that grayish-green color of the "Geometric" paper, cutting the center in just plain white cardstock.

Then I ran all my papers through my Xyron Creative Station. Love this extra large 9" platform... means everything goes through at the same time!

And... I love this part... now, just peel and stick!!

Did you know Craftwell's dies can cut through multiple layers of tulle... I cut this whole stack all together!! Talk about impressive!!

With a needle, embroidery thread, and a button, I secured my flowers together. Then I fluffed my layers to make my flower fuller. Next, I hot glued stems of paper flowers and my tulle flower to the front of my tag.

Finally, I punched a hole at the top of my tag and tied a jumbo bow on top using more white tulle.

And here is my finished tag...

From this picture you can really see a big difference that fluffing the tulle makes. 

I hope the happy couple loves the decoration on the gift as much as the actual gift itself!!

I know I do!! LOL

And I hope you enjoyed today's project! 

Until next time...

HAPPY CRAFTING!!
