Two Hearts Become One

I had a funny five minutes the other day, I seem to be having quite a few of these lately!  I made a lovely Wedding/Anniversary DT card for the current challenge at Crafting for all Seasons, unfortunately the challenge theme was Christmas in July - I don't know why I thought is was Weddings!

Anyway this is that card:

I used a Paper Creator set called Two Hearts, as is normal for me, I didn't use the set as it was designed to be used - I did my own thing and cut the image out several times and decoupaged it.  The smaller hearts are from a NitWit collection and the sentiment is from the Paper Creator set.

I decorated the inside of my card using the envelope part of the set layered onto some of the dark brown papers that are also in the set.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Di's Digi Designs Challenge - Weddings/Anniversary/Congratulations

Ding Dong

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and this week our theme is 'Ding Dong Merrily on High', so just add a bell somewhere.  I have used the remaining papers that I made following Jennifer McGuire's fabulous technique from Online Card Classes - this is the last one I promise, well at least for a little while!

I have kept with quite a simple design, the embossed background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder, the bells are mounted onto a circle that has been embossed with another Cuttlebug embossing folder and mounted on to a Spellbinders die cut circle.  The musical notes are a Nina Crafts stamp and the sentiment is a LOTV stamp, I used a Fiskars punch to create the border.
