On Your Wedding Day. . . . . . .


Good morning, one and all. Hope this finds you well. A bit chillier in these here parts and for the Scottish Posse, I bet its nippy round the Trossachs! (have to say, my Trossachs need an extra layer at this time of year lol!!!).

Hopefully, Blogger behaves and this post goes live when it should today.

A warm welcome to the Pond to Margaret. Nice to have you come paddle with us. Also, hello to some new names on the comments. Thank you for stopping by and hope you can visit again soon.

Glad you all liked my first Christmas card (sorry Janice, it is the one and only at the moment) and my bow experiment.

Now, today's card is one I mad for Nesta to give to her niece for wedding part two at the end of October. As always with her niece, the colour scheme was purple and gold, so I ran with this.


Ingredients
Cream card 
PMD purple card
Gold mirror card
The Striplet
Sissix Squares
Hobbycraft heart punch
Versamark
Gold mica powder
Pearls

I used The Striplet around the edge, only cutting half which is a little tricksy, especially going round corners but worth it, I think. My, did I have to cut some small foam pads to raise it above the gold layer.

The card was, apparently, well received so you can't ask for more.


I have been eyeing Sue's new Striplets but I have actually bought 3 of the new Spellbinders Borders that operate like a Striplet. Soon as I get 5 minutes (New shifts again!!!) to play, I shall.

I haven't forgotten about the choccy peanut recipe. I will check if it's available on line to refer you by link (its a Nigella so I don't want to get sued for putting it on here)

For any of you who live near the NEC you may be interested to know about the World Duty Free Airport Sale in December. They have it every year and you can get some corking bargains on perfumes, handbags, cosmetics etc. Just visit the NEC website, register and print off your tickets. Its free to get in and so is the parking. To give you an idea of the savings, I've bought Radley handbags for £30 and perfume sets with RRPs of £90 for £25.

Anyhoo, that's me for today. Til next time, be good.

  2. Ang, what a great use of the striplet, I bet it was a lot of work getting those corners. Your card is gorgeous and I could only be well received. Don't go spending to much money at the sale, I bet there are bargains. Hazel x

  4. Hi Ang. A lovely card for Nestas niece. I love this striplet as much as you do but I haven't managed to get it to go round corners like you have, that must have been hard work! Well done on making it look so good : ) Take care.

  5. Good morning Ang,
    Love, love, love, your stunning card. This of course just had to be loved and will be treasured. Wonderful use of that Striplet Die. My new SW Dies should be delivered today Yipeeee!!
    Not so cold here as WET it's like looking out to sea as you travel along the main road. Thank goodness we are up out of the valley or it would be a boat rather than a car needed to get about. As it is I need to use the 4x4 to get out of the village ...... rural living sure is fun!!
    Have all the ingredients for the Peanut Fudge. Decided to wait a little longer before making it otherwise i would have to make more for "gifts". I would have eaten the first lot myself ..... !!!
    Have a great day, I won't take up space in the "pond" today thanks, far more water to paddle in right here.
    Hugs

  18. Hello Ang, it's not been so much chilly here, more dark, damp and gloomy. Staying home weather really.
    Your card is stunning, what wonderful colours together. I would have loved to see the bride's wedding dress, bet it was really wonderful.
    The striplets used as a frame looks great, I meant to buy one while I was at the NE C, didn't get around to it though. Hugs kate x

  20. What! You've managed to get the Striplet to go round corners! Brilliant! I think you need to get together with John and do a tutorial on this I am drooling over Sue's dies and having to resist because I don't sell my cards Hubby wouldn't mind but I'd feel terrible spending all that money So the one Striplet I own is used lots and would love to be able to use it in other ways

  21. Oooer Missus - lurve the colours of this one - what a corker! Sorry to hear your new shifts are messing with your crafting - darn it! It's been quite a warm day here although Blossom has just jumped onto my desk to warm her Trossachs - Donny says he's not sure whether his are cold or not 'cos he hasn't seen them in a while!

    Hugs to you Ang

    Love your super designing of this, and the colour is wonderful, and all that fab gold mirri is perfect too.
    You are so lucky to live where you are, as lots go on there compared to Kent.

  28. Hi Ang. Sorry i'm late been having computer problems. Love the way you've used the striplet die. Really pretty.
    Loving all Sue's new dies but waiting to see if I win anything from her (fat chance) before I buy any. Only just bought the French collection and one of the stamps to go with it.
    Bye for now.
    Love Val x
