Bridal Shower invites

Hello! Today, I would like to share with you what I have been working on during the Christmas break. In my spare moments, I have been making bridal shower invitations for my husband's niece.  We do not live close to any of our family, and as a result, we don't get to see them as much as we would like. But, I can contribute my love of stamping to her. :)  The bride to be was popped the big question while vacationing with the groom to be in Paris.  As a result, she is planning a Paris themed wedding with the colors of gray, peach, pink and gold.  How perfect was it for me that Stampin' UP! came out with the Follow My Heart stamp set just in time for me to make her invites? Yippee!

Without further delay, here is what I made:



I chose Smokey Slate, Blushing Bride, Primrose Petals and Very Vanilla for my card colors.  There is a lot of embossing and sponging going on here!  First, I embossed the tower in gold. Then I stamped the French Script background in Versamark and embossed it in Clear. Next, I stamped images from Artistic Etchings randomly in Smokey Slate and Blushing Bride and then sponged over them in the same ink.  Lastly, I added some gold "dots" from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to finish the tag off.. I also sponged Gold  Encore and White Craft onto the Blushing Bride piece of cardstock to give it a warm vintage feel.



Here they are drying. I ended up making a total of 40 invitations.  Now, I just need to print off the inside details and soon they will be ready.  Another yippee! 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a safe New Years celebration!  Happy 2014!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
