Hi! My card today is very St. Patrick's Day themed with my little four leaf clover but I think this great die can be used for so many occasions - interviews, exams, or any occasions that warrants a bit of anxiety. What a great way to show someone you are thinking of them!
I was trying to keep the card one color and I did that by using different shades of green. My "Good Luck" kind of disappeared until I add a green die cut underneath the white words. Just that little bit of extra layer really helps to pop out whatever die you are highlighting.
The four-leaf clover is made from the hearts of the Heart Spray die. I popped them up on foam tape and added a strip of card stock for the stem. The background is a quilted 3D embossing folder by Memory Keepers and the beaded circle die is by Elizabeth Craft Designs.
Welcome back to Day 2 of the Wedding Weekend at Quietfire Creations! Yesterday we looked at Save the Date, RSVP, and You're Invited wedding cards. Today we are looking at a few wedding reception ideas and Thank you cards. Just like yesterday, there is a video of today's projects (if you are receiving this in email format, please view the video on YouTube HERE):
First, let's start with wedding favors. The Gable Box is a great die to have! The boxes are so sweet on a wedding reception table. Below is a box with pink background and wee hearts. The hearts are from the Hearts spray die. (The Hearts spray die is a useful way to use up all of those tiny pieces of scrap!)
The chalkboard style is quite cool! I used the heart from Calligraphic Elements 1 die set to die cut white card stock. Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide was used on the Gable box and the heart as the finishing touch for the chalkboard look.
Of course I had to create another Gable box in the summer floral paper. The top of the box was secured using seam binding. Imagine the floral boxes next to all of the place settings at a reception or at the bridal shower. How cute would that be?
Talking about table settings...
The Eat, Drink & Be Merry die set not only looks awesome (especially in the chalkboard style), but also is a perfect way to let guests know what is for dinner!
Here is the back of the card with the Menu die cut and more of the hearts.
Don't forget the thank your loved ones after the wedding! The new die set Thank You 2 is so elegant and is gorgeous on a card front!
Love the look of the summer floral style thank you card. It is like a beautiful breath of fresh air!
While writing this post I thought about a thank you card I created using some of Suzanne's other dies. It would be so thoughtful to have a wedding photo in the front of the card (as shown below) and the elegant Thank You on the inside. The original blog post for the below project is here.
The photo slips out of the pocket so that the receiver can frame the picture of the happy couple.
Have you enjoyed the wedding weekend here at Quietfire Creations? Admittedly, I had too much fun creating the wedding projects! I couldn't help but think that I wish I had these dies for my wedding. I could picture running the dies through and assembling the projects with friends or while watching TV. The results are timelessly lovely. Hmm...maybe my hubby and I should renew our vows. ;)

Hello!!! It's Wanda (Art By Wanda) here today with a couple of cards to share including a tutorial for creating the background color. It's hard to believe it's March already and as quickly as March has come, May will be here in a flash so it's not too early to think about Mother's Day. My first card uses a stamp just perfect for that occasion.
For my background I'm using acrylic paint, specifically Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics (colors - coral, orchid). I put a small puddle of each color on my craft sheet.
I spread the color using my finger, blending where the colors came together, and making sure it was a large enough area for the acrylic block I wanted to use.
Welcome to Quietfire Design's 2017 Queen of Hearts Blog Hop!
This week we're celebrating the release of the newest dies, stencils and
stamps from Quietfire
Designbysharing our best projects!
Before we get to the good stuff, I'll share my project! I've been wanting to mask one of the diecuts for ages and I've finally got a plan together. I really love the subtlety of this project.
Here is how you can make it, too!
1.Form a side-fold card base measuring 6” x 7.25”
from dark pink cardstock. Cut a rectangle panel from Specialty Stamping paper
measuring 5” x 6.5”.Cut a panel
slightly larger in pale pink to create a mat.Cut another panel slightly larger again from black to mat the pale pink
panel.
2.Lightly sponge Spun Sugar in all over the white
panel. Allow to dry.
3.Die cut Together from Stamping Mask Paper. Weed out the counterspaces and peel the release paper from the back.
4.Adhere the mask near the bottom of the white
panel as shown. (Designer Tip: If the
Distress Ink is not dry, the mask will not stick to the cardstock!) Lightly sponge over and around the mask with
Victorian Rose.Remove mask. The masking
paper uses a removable adhesive so it is easy to peel off. AND it’s reusable!
5.Stamp the sentiment just above Together.Allow to dry.This is no time to smear it!
6.Adhere the stencil in position with removable
tape and lightly sponge the hearts with Victorian Rose. The stencil doesn't have to be straight. Position it the way you'd like to see the spray arc over the quotation. I like the hearts to appear as if they are
fading out.If you happened to be using
a larger piece of white paper, now is the time to trim it!
7.Assemble the main panel with the mats behind as
shown.Adhere this to the card base with
foam adhesive to give it a bit of dimension.Lovely!
And now for the good stuff!
