Wedding Wishes
Hi, folks! It's Kim from Katydid Cards.
June, the time for weddings! And for the wedding and bridal shower cards, too. Here's a shower card made with three of Eyelet Outlet's latest brad releases; the Wedding Brads (Ring and Champagne Glass) and the Dress Brads.
I made a gatefold card with soft colors and patterns which served as the perfect backdrop for the brads. The alternating banners make for a unique opening.
A closer look at the brads reveals I added some Jewel Bling for the diamond with some additional bling around the "bubbly". The dress brad comes in an assortment of colors, but I wanted my bride to wear white. Fortunately, these brads take heat embossing like a champ. After I attached the dress to the banner, I tucked a tiny bit of tulle as the veil with another jewel for the headpiece.
Inside, the Silver Bell Brads were just the right accompaniment to the sentiment.
After the shower come the nuptials and here's my second card helping to celebrate the big day. In addition to the same Bell Brads in Gold this time, I used the Cross Brads, Glitter Gold Enamel Dots, and Color Wheel Washi Tape as my "stained glass" window. The roof and doors were covered with Chalk Board Washi Tape.
The front doors open to reveal the greeting.
And here's the inside of the card.
After the wedding, there's the reception! And it wouldn't be complete without a wedding cake. Here's my 3D version using the Fancy Long Bling with Pearls and Jewels. There are those Bells again together with the Glitter Dot Washi.
The used the Glitter Washi as my color inspiration and even tinted the Pearls in the bling using Copic markers. They take color beautifully.
When you're thinking weddings, think Eyelet Outlet for not only cards but decorations, favors, wrapping and scrapbook layouts to capture the memories.
I hope you enjoyed these wedding cards...see you next week with something new!

A Whole Lot of Wonderful
Hello everyone. It's Kim from Katydid Cards, grateful for the opportunity to be here with you today
I didn't know I loved washi tape until I started working with Eyelet Outlet's large selection of it. I think the decorative is my favorite, or maybe it's the glitter washi, no, the foil washi, but the holiday washi is great. Okay, so I love it all!!
I've had this Vivid Vases stamp set for a long time now and I bought it because I saw a video on paper piecing the vases. I was hooked! When I saw this glitter washi, I knew that's what I wanted to use.
I decided to make a split front card using Basic Black card stock, so you're actually looking at the image through acetate. I used a heavier acetate to keep the front of the card from bowing under the weight. I made the opening just the right size for my image. The acetate was attached to the inside of the front of the card. The extra black card stock was cut to size and placed on the back side of the acetate to hide the adhesive.
For the front of the card, I applied a strip of the Glitter Dot Washi across the front. I wanted to accent it with the Glitter Purple Washi, but cut it down to 1/4". It's very easy to cut with a ruler and craft knife. Also, just in case you didn't know, washi is low tack so you can lift it and reposition it if you need to. I love being able to do that.
I created a banner for across the bottom using the greeting from the same stamp set. There was just enough room on either side of the greeting for some bling. For that, I used the Purple Jewel Bling Strips.
To stamp the image on a panel of white card stock, I used StazOn Black Ink and the MISTI to ensure perfect placement. I stamped it again on a piece of scrap white, again with the MISTI. Then I applied the Washi directly on the image and stamped again (several times) until I got a clear image on the Washi. As an aside, you want to be sure to use StazOn Ink when stamping on the Washi or the ink will smear. I fussy cut each vase and attached them (keeping them on the scrap card stock for stability) with Ranger Multi Medium Matte Adhesive.
My last step was to color the flowers using Copic markers, pulling the color cues from the washi tape.
Have you used washi tape on your projects? If so, please share how you've used it in the comments section...always looking for new ways to work with it!

Today I'm working with two of the Glitter Washi Tapes:
And the Glitter Purple Washi
