Here’s the story of how this card came about:

Hubby: Can you please make me a wedding card for a co-worker.
Me: Sure
Me: (10 min later)… Here you go.
Hubby: Wow! That’s gorgeous! Is that a swap or did you make it?
Me: You just bought it for $100! LoL

He actually threw me off when he asked if it was a swap card. We laughed and then he told me I better not tell anyone about the conversation. Too late! You can’t make this stuff up. I still chuckle when I think about it.

Wedding

I was serious when I said it took me 10 minutes to make this cute golden wedding card. The card base is in Whisper White and used some Basic Black to give it a little frame around the gold foil paper. I heat embossed the ‘happily ever after’ on the ‘Gold Fancy’ designer paper.

Wondering how I glued it down without showing adhesive marks? It’s no secret… I place tiny dots of our Crystal Effects behind the gold hearts and the sentiment. Crystal Effects dries clear my friends! A-ha!

Now in the comments below tell me if you would have you ever guessed and what type of adhesive do you use on vellum.

This morning (12 hours ago, while you were sleeping) one of our young Airmen received news that he passed his test and will be promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant. It was the best news he has heard in a very long time.

I made him a “Congratulations” card, but I made it in such a hurry I failed to capture it for you. Tomorrow I will ask him to share it with a picture of him and the card.

For now, you can marvel at this card I made for a customer who recently bought a retired stamp set from my store. A few short moment ago I updated the stamps now available for sale. Check them out here.

Thank You

My friend Lynn left me a comment yesterday and told me she has a terrible time with color coordination. Well there is a fix to that! The color coach helps people like me and Lynn who can’t seem to get colors in their right shades to match… LoL.

If I didn’t wear a uniform I probably would look a little dorky dressing myself… LoL. I think I’ll just stick to green… LoL
