Lots of wedding wishes today. Three to be exact.
For the first card, the invitation was used as a source of inspiration for the color scheme.
This week’s Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers was to incorporate something crinkled onto your card or project. So using a heat embossing gun, the organdy ribbon was heated until it started to melt or “crinkle”.
This card also follows the Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast for this week. It is, however, rotated 180°.
The second card was made… just cuz. hehe With all of the Autumn weddings I hadn’t made a pink rose card for awhile, and well frankly… it was time! lol
I used my new “Roses” embossing folder and colored the roses directly on the folder with markers before embossing.
LOVE the results!
There was even enough ink left on the embossing folder after the first panel was done to do a second.
Look at these roses close up! Seriously pretty stuff.
Back in August I helped a couple make their wedding invitations. When I went to actually make them a wedding card I hesitated to use the same stamps/colors/theme, but then gave in to it.
Here is the invitation. I added a yummy chocolate grosgrain ribbon with a satin edge.
The weddings are both this weekend. Gonna be busy and fun. Weddings are such a celebration!!

Well… aren’t you just clever! The card with the embossing folder is just toooooo cute. I love all the cards, but that one is.. just clever!!
I love how you always do such a wonderful job incorporating the couples’ invitations to their wedding cards. You da massa, Ms. Susan! 😉
They’re all lovely, but the pink one really stands out to me. Thanks for sharing how you inked up the folder to get such beautiful roses! I have no doubt that all of the couples are going to treasure the cards you’ve so lovingly made for them.
I love how you do wedding cards! 🙂 the rose idea is seriously cool! The result is perfect!
Can’t decide which is my favorite so…I pick them all! Love that ef with those beautiful roses!
Oh Susan, both wedding cards are beautiful. Love with colored embossing on your pink card — so, so, pretty — such a fantastic look; and your CAS challenge card is a knockout!
Susan, I love the rose embossing folder! What a neat trick to color directly on the folder and such great results! I love all your wedding cards…cannot pick just one!
What a great and thoughtful match to the invitation on that wedding card Susan. Love the autumn card, but the showstopper here is how you used the embossing template. What a great idea. I’m going to have to try this too!
Gorgeous! I love the brown and blue of the first card! Really like the curly ribbon; thnk you so much for sharing this idea!
When I first looked at the roses card… I thought it was a very pretty DP, and I was amazed even more that you created it with embossing folder! How clever and how creative!
Love the way how you floded the ribbon on the third card!
Your cards are wonderful! I especially love the little colorful hearts on the first that pick up the colors in the clothes they’re wearing! I LOVE that! Great idea to color your ef first, and what an incredible look that gives! Super cool cards and ideas, TFS!!
neat how your wedding cards go along with the invites, I will have to say I just love the pink and green combo and the way you colored the embossing folder is just goregous!!!
Ohhhh Susan all so GORGEOUS!!
Hi Susan, those Wedding cards are really cute I liked them all for there diversity and adaptations. Great idea using the embossing folder like that 🙂 PS Thanks for dropping by!
These are all wonderful Susan. I really like the way you colored your embossing folder. That took some time. Your color combination on the first one is fantastic… Great job on them all.
