Hi Everyone, an apology due from me for being awol visiting you all. I have been very busy and had a visitor, making time non existent for me. I won't be able to catch up, but I will have a looky to see what I've missed. So sorry.
Anyhow on to what I have been doing in my "spare" time. We had a visit from my niece she saw the bottle tag I made (I'll show you in my next post) and asked if I could make 10 for a party she was throwing for her friend and husband. Then it was "I wonder if you could do table place names", then "OH! could you do a few tags for parting gifts!" "Do you have time to make me a card?" Of course I said yes and happy to do it for her.
The card to start with, I had a paper pad with silver and white paper, after being die cut, it was placed onto white and silver card which had also been die cut. I die cut a 2 corner pieces and die cut them again with a doily design shape. More die cutting with hearts and champagne glass shapes. I had placed the photo into Silhouette and cut around it with another heart that was used as a base.

Then it was out with the Silhouette and off to go, it has been used so often this last week.

I added the 25 into the top design, then covered it with a 25 and hearts in silver card, I also added silver pen to the initial of each card.
bottle tag
I took a champagne bottle image and placed it in Silhouette to print and cut. Before cutting, I added a photo of the couple and their names and anniversary. It was then cut and attached to the bottle tag.

It sits better on a champagne bottle it's made for, but I didn't have any champagne handy to demonstrate! 😉

WOW, you have been busy! What beautiful creations. Isn’t it hard to say ‘no’ when you’re asked to make something by a friend or relative! One day I’ll say ‘yes, if you sit next to me while I make it’. They might then realise how long it takes. 😉 xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've been rather busy Faith, everything looks lovely - your Niece must have been thrilled with it all.
