You're invited wedding invitation and decor

Hi friends,

I have an elegant wedding card and banner to share with you today, using new lines from Ruby Rock-it!

Creating elegant cards are easy using the new stepper card (size A5), Bella! sugar candy cardstock, and new decoupage ranges.

You're Invited card:

A fun tip that I have for you is layering the decoupage pieces. I layered the center butterfly (above) with an identical butterfly and used foam adhesive to make it pop a little. I also added some Ruby Rock-it vellum and Bella! pearls to really make the card shine.

I finished the card by adding a simple you're invited sentiment (fundamentals sticker). This sentiment will work great for other occasions too.

Next up I have a wedding banner to share with you using the new wedding collections from Bella!

Wedding banner:

To create this wedding banner I used new papers from Two Hearts, Love Story and Smitten collections.

I create the large rosettes by trimming my 12x12 papers into thirds, gluing the strips together and then folding the paper back and forth. I accentuate the banner I also made small rosettes and 3d stars. I completed my banner by using Glittered 3d stickers from the Bella! wedding embellishments collection.

I hope you enjoyed my wedding projects today and get the chance to play with these new collections soon!

Ruby rock-it Christmas traditions projects

Hi everyone, earlier this month we shared our favorite family Christmas traditions on the Ruby rock-it blog. My family's favorite Christmas tradition each year is driving up to Apple Hill to cut down our family Christmas tree. You can view my original post with all of the pictures from our trip here. After we shared our favorite traditions the design team was challenged to create 3 projects that were inspired by our tradition.

For my first project this month I created a layout using the Paper Boy collection. I took these photos of my son while we were celebrating our tradition of picking out our Christmas tree at Apple hill. They have a fishing pond there that is the perfect backdrop for photos.

For my second tradition themed project this month, I made a Christmas card using the Bella wedding line.

Celebrate card:

I liked their embossed double sided paper so much that I chose to use both sides. The backside (white) and the gold side (front). The Bella wedding line works great for Christmas themed projects.

And for my last project, I created a card. The border strip is from the Paper Doll line and it reminded me of Christmas candy. I also thought of the cherry (from the Paper Doll tokens paper) and the sweetie pie sticker (confetti stickers). They reminded me of all the yummy sweets and pies that we buy up at Apple hill. They have pre-made pies that you can buy there and then bring home and pop in your oven. Our favorites are cherry and apple.



Thanks for allowing me to share my Ruby Rock-it Christmas traditions projects with you this month. Please stop by the Ruby rock-it blog tomorrow to see how team member Becky Olsen shares her Christmas tradition projects.
