Civil Partnership

A colleague of mine, let slip that she and her partner of many years had made it legal, and had a civil partnership just before Christmas.

I could not have been more happier for her, and so, used my occasional CD-ROM once more to make a card that I hoped would be suitable for them.

Being a squeezee card, it is freestanding, and it makes quite an impact when you see an A5 version sat there on the table top.

We all signed the back of it before handing it over.

The following day, she came to see me with a huge smile on her face, and said that her partner wanted to tell me that it was a stunning card, and they loved it.

I was thrilled!

When Two Become One!

Our friends got engaged in the New Year, and, not having used my new Occasions squeezee CD-ROM very much, I wanted to see what they thought of this as their engagement card.

It seems it went down very well, and I have been asked to look at designs for the wedding stationary for them!

Congratulations x

Congratulations Cards

I had printed these images before my printer went dry. I had been given them by a friend and wanted to make use of them a few more times as they are so lovely

By only using the words Congratulations, I have left the door open for them to be used as a Wedding card or an Engagement card. The appropriate wording can be added to the insert, once it is needed.

Jamie and Phill get Engaged

My gorgeous friends Jamie and Phill got engaged on February 14th. They are sooooo romantic! Aaaahhh!

Anyway - my question is ........ "Why is it impossible to buy a same sex Engagement or Wedding card?" after all it is not as if it is not considered the norm nowadays - for goodness sake it's the 21st century! Good job I can make my own cards!

Back to my story - sorry!

I used a tall white blank card from stock and chose some purple heart papers which I used down one side of the card.

I then used some stripy purple and lilac downloaded paper to mat the champagne glasses onto. I used the centres of some peel off flowers to create the sparkle coming out of the glasses!

I had some Congratulations toppers which I had bought at The Works a couple of weeks ago and then I matted the words Groom & Groom onto some silver card blank and stripe paper.

The swarkowski flowers finished the card off, however the more I looked at it the more like a wedding card it seemed to be, so I placed the word Engagement above the Congrats topper - et voila!

I am really pleased with the result, and apparently the guys loved the Groom and Groom touch Ha Ha!

Now, all that is left to do is think up another wonderful design for their Wedding card!
