Good morning, Oddies! Alexis here with a little romantic card action. This card started as a request from a co-worker for a wedding card to match the gift wrap from the present she’d bought the couple. I was promised coffee in exchange for the card and that seemed like a perfectly sweet deal to me. I love coffee. 

I pulled from the blue, brass and Ivory and made my own background using Distress inks, paint and embossing powder. 

I used a sweet Mae and Kody wedding stamp from a previous release that I’m sure will be made into a Digi release soon as well as the sentiment that came with that set. I accented it with ivory and brass flowers and some metallic sequins. My co-worker was very pleased and I am the proud recipient of coffee. Win-Win! 

I love to start a project with very specific inspiration, whether it’s someone else’s card you’d seen online that makes you want to make something similar, or designing it around a color scheme, it can make a project go so much quicker when you have a solid reference to keep coming back to.

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share with you my latest creation…

It is a money holder featuring Mini Elf Digi Stamp, which I colored with Copic Markers. 

I used an SVG file and my Silhouette Cameo to cut the shaped money holder. Patterned paper and tag are from Craft Smith, and the holiday trim is from Lawn Fawn.

This is definitely a quick and pretty gift perfect for those “picky” family members 😉

Thanks for stopping by!

~xoxo~ Yani
