Here are a couple of wedding cards that I made recently. And as I often do, I used a portion of the wedding invitation as designer paper on the first one.
On the second card, I took my cue from the colors in the invitation and casual lifestyle of the bride and groom. Fun wedding… jeans were not only acceptable attire, they were encouraged!
The small fleurette was colored with Copic markers.
Both of these cards were made a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t been stamping this week because I have been wonderfully busy! My twin granddaughters are visiting and today we had a spa experience called “Sips and Sparkles”. As a mother of 4 boys, this grandma has been waiting her whole life for just such a day!!

Gorgeous cards, Susan, but the pictures of your little spa girls are adorable! What a fun experience for them and a great memory they will cherish for a long time!
OMGoodness what a fun time for you and the girls! They are adorable and I’m sure they loved those fluffy robes and the fancy drinks and pedicures. How adorable they are and how fun for Granny to watch. Love your flowers and cards but I always do. Pat
Beautiful cards! I loved your post. As a mom to four boys myself I look forward to hopefully having some granddaughters one day. Your post made me smile and gave me hope! Have a wonderful day.
I love the cards, but I have to admit that I love the photos more — they are priceless!
Very fun wedding cards and I like how you used part of the paper on the first one.
Oh the day at the spa with the girls is so sweet. I bet you had a fun time, they are just darling little girls! Enjoy your time together! Hugs…
Awwwwwww that is too sweet for words! I love it! 🙂 I am sure they enjoyed it and you have created some life-long memories for them! SWEET!
How absolutely adorable and wonderful (and I’m not talking about your cards . . . LOL . . . even though they are fabulous!). I’m pea green with envy Susan! These lovely ladies have captured my heart . . . how twice blessed you are to have these precious angels . . . have fun and enjoy them (spoil them too) while they’re with you. As you know, they’ll grow up faster than you can blink! Hugs, Jerri
How FAB! Love the wedding card, and such a great idea of using the invite itself. Then, those lovely little girls. How Cute! I only raised boys and no grandchildren in sight for a long while…. so I miss that stuff too.
Beautiful cards! What a fun way to spend with your granddaughters.
You always manage to cause me to drool a bit –right now it’s over that first wedding card. It’s so elegant, rich, and just plain gorgeous! The other one’s pretty (what a fun couple they must be!), but this one just speaks to me. Volumes.
Those pics of your little granddaughters are just precious! You sure spoiled them…now they’re gonna expect that same royal treatment every time they come to visit (not that you’d mind -lol). Looks like the only thing missing there was Grandma having her pedicure and hair done too. 😉
Oh Susan … the wedding cards are awesome but the photos of your precious little ones are TOTALLY AWESOME!! How cute are these little ladies … looks like a great time! ENJOY them … they will grow up all to quickly. It was only yesterday I was doing this sort of thing with my granddaughter, Morgan … now she’s 17 and a senior in high school … oh where does the time go???
Your cards are beautiful, but your grand-daughters are priceless.
Enjoy!
Absolutely LOVE that first card! So elegant and great colours.
Your granddaughters are precious!! Can see why you are enjoying them so much. Four boys – aaaaack!!! I have one who just about does me in because he only has two speeds – go and sleep LOL!
I cannot think of any better way to spend the day than this! Thanks for sharing and Way to go Gramma!
OMG! How totally sweet these little girls are!!! You are definitely blessed! 🙂 tfs the wedding cards..got one coming up and I am out of inspiration!
Awesome cards Susan. The photos of your granddaughters are the highlight of the post though. They are so adorable and it looked like they were having a blast with the manicure/pedicures. I can only imagine how much fun grandma was having. 🙂 Enjoy your time with the girls because it is so precious. Have a great weekend.
Susan, your cards are amazing! I’m so thrilled for you and your spa mates!!! It’s so wonderful to see you with your “little girls”, what cherished moments! Makes me realize what a fun activity it would be for me and my girls. Thanks for the inspiration in every way! You really brought a smile to my face after a loooong day. Thanks.
Fabulous cards, Susan! Love the designs of them!
So glad you have fun time with your beautiful Granddaughters!
I’m grinning from ear to ear after seeing your precious granddaughters! My gosh, they’ve grown so much since you last posted photos of them! What beautiful little girls, and they seem to completely enjoy being pampered:) It’s just too sweet!
Your cards are perfect for each wedding, and I just LOVE those ribbon roses on the first card! I love the casual card to match the casual style of the 2nd couple! They’re all going to love their cards as much as we do 🙂
Have fun with your sweet little twins………….and thanks for the smiles today:)
Lovely cards, that is what I like about being able to do cards that match the receiver perfectly.
How neat to have a fun day out with your GD’s!
Oh Susan, how fun! I love that you got to do that with your granddaughters. I just got back from taking my 5-year-old granddaughter to a tea party in Jacksonville and it was so much fun, for us and for her. It was our first time to take just her on a little trip. Your cards are awesome. I love the simplicity and elegance combined in both cards. Thanks for sharing those adorable pics of such cute little girls.
oh my word they are beautiful! I just giggled out loud when you said you’ve been waiting your whole life for this. It looks like you created precious memories together Susan!
Love the wedding cards!!!
What a fun day with your girls! Girls days out are so fun with little ones! 🙂
Awwwww, what wonderful memories, Susan!!!!!! Your DGS’s are sooo precious and how fun to share the spa experience with them!!!!The best reward is life is getting to be a Grandma, for sure!!!!! Enjoy your time with these two little cutie pies!!!
