Special Celebrations Wedding Shower

I recently attended a wedding shower for a sweet young couple from my church.  I wanted to make them a special handmade card, but as usual, I was looking for an idea at the last minute!  When I looked at the bag I’d purchased for the gift, I was inspired to make a card to match.

 

Here’s a close up of the card.

Stamps:  Special Celebrations

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Cardstock:  Very Vanilla Note Card and Envelope, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Gold Foil

Punch:  3/4” Circle

Other:  Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

I was really pleased with the result.  What do you think?

Color Your Season Thank You

The Blended Seasons Bundle is available ONLY during the month of August, so if you’d like this one, order soon!

We used the bundle in Stamp Club this month.  It’s a lovely bundle, with something for all four seasons!  If you missed my earlier post on this, you can find it here.

The dies are particularly pretty because they have 3 different sized labels with faux stitching on both the inside and the outside of the cut. It was just too pretty to discard either one, so we used both pieces on our cards in class.

On this card, the outside is popped up with dimensionals, while the inside stamped piece is adhered flat to the front of the card.  This was my original sample.

Stamps:  Blended Seasons

Cardstock:  Granny Apple Green, Whisper White

Ink:  StazOn Jet Black

Dies:  Stitched Seasons

Other:  Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 and 2, Blender Pen, Basic Pearl, Stampin’ Blends, Subtle Dynamic TIEF, Basic Black Twine

After seeing some of the color choices of my club members, I had to make more of these!

We even colored the basic pearls using the Stampin’ Blends to match the flowers.  So, what do you think?  Which color do you like best?
