Jewish New Year

Happy New Year to all my Jewish Friends. This is one Holiday Day to many special friends in my community school and workplace. So Hard to create a Jewish greeting since sentiments and Stamp Sets are limited. But when I created this card Papertrey and ink had not mailed their Jewish Stamp Set to me in time for me to send the card. But not to worry I have it for the December Holidays. A lot of Cuttlebug and it is a 5 1/2 in ch Square Card. I used Marvy punches also from http://www.papertreyink.com/.
The ribbons are organdy to tie to the elegance of the card.
L' Shana Tovah!!

Star of David Wedding

This is a card I created for a customer whose daughter was getting married. Being the couple was non-traditional I had to keep it simple. I created the star of David by Stamping two triangles from an old Stampin Up set called "The shape of things". It was a pretty big triangle. I then cut the triangles out and taped them together to form the shape of the Jewish Star. I then traced the stamped shape onto a piece of cardboard that is enclosed in the Designer Paper from Stampin UP. I wanted my tempalte to have weight to it. Thinking Green. Right!!! This star could be made in all different colors and represent many events in a jewish celebration. I used "Quartz" Paper and the cuttlebug, and Pink Paper to create elegance.

RECIPE:

Stamps: SU Embrace Life

Paper: Stardream Quartz, SU Vellumn Cardstock, Papertrey Sweet Blush

Accesories: SU Word Window Punch, White Double faced Satin Ribbon, Swiss Dot Cuttlebug Folder, Clear Embossing Powder.

Ink: Papertrey Sweet Blush

The Wedding Cake


Oh my! I forgot to write about this card. This is a card I made for a co-worker.. It is quick and simple but uses one of my favorite "RETIRED" Stampin up sets. I think it is called Sweet Treats. I used the cuttlebug embossing folder to give it an elegant look. The Chocolate Sating Ribbon is from last years Holiday Mini. Loved that ribbon. A prima paper flower at the top with a Martha Stewart Pearl in the center. Some Copic Marker coloring and Liquid Applique. Just enough to make it elegant yet simple.
