3 CARDS, A Sympathy, A Wedding and another Sympathy...

Hello Friends, Happy Saturday!
I've been working on a few SQUARE cards. LOL! (most of mine happen to turn out square). Not my intention -- just a comfort zone, I guess. :)

First CARD...
I needed this card last week. It's sad when we have a need for SYMPATHY cards...




















CARD RECIPE
Stamps: ODBD- Praying For You
Paper: Ki Memories & K&Company, Bazzill Cream textured CS
Ink: Marvy Matchables
Accessories: Pearls, Nellie Snellen Multi-Frame Dies, Cuttlebug EF, EK Success Border Punch, Spellbinders Cross Dies, Satin Ribbon
Techniques: Dry Embossing

Second CARD...
A funky wedding card created with today's SCS  Inspirational Challenge #IC270, found HERE:  I got my inspiration from this site's {UNCOMMON GOODS}reclaimed seatbelt chair (below).
  This also fits this month's SplitCoastStampers - DIRTY DOZEN theme; {Love Is In The Air}. It can be found HERE. Check it out, join the FAN CLUB and play along with us Dirty Girls. :)
CARD RECIPE:
Stamps: Cloud 9 Designs, Simple Thoughts - Wedding
Paper: Roll of Checkered thin paper {unknown brand}, Black textured CS, White heavy CS, Silver Embossed Wallpaper Roll
Ink: Black Pigment
Accessories: Adhesive Pearls, Pearl Beads, Floral Pin, Silver Brads (to hold flowers together), SU Scalloped Flower Punch, Satin White & Gray Ribbon, CB Embossing Folder, Silver Stickles, Imaginisce I-Top brad maker (for brad to match my DP)
Techniques: Dry Embossing
   
 Third CARD...
Next, I want to add a "With Sympathy" card that I actually created back in October of 2008. I was in the mood for Black and White that day and this is my creativity result;
Stamps: Stampin' Up! Friendship Blooms & Anna Griffin Sentiment
Paper: Basic, Heavy Black & Heavy White CS
Ink: Black StazOn
Accessories: Silver Embossing Powder, Half Pearls, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SU Floral Blossom Rub-ons, Cuttlebug Embossing Folders
Techniques: Heat Embossing, Dry Embossing, Layering
Hope to have inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by my little corner of Blog-Land!  :)

    Two stunning cards x

    I have lots of card blanks, but for some reason I prefer square, you seem to have more room to play around with (if that makes sense) Lol.
