Elegant Wedding Card

From Adriel:

Here is a card I made using the new Blossom Petals punch from SU's new Occasions Mini catalog. I punched several petals out and used a bone folder to add some dimension to them. I built my flower and misted it with some shimmer mist (shimmer paint mixed w/ alcohol).

I used an image from the Vintage Vogue stamp set with Versamark ink for the background. I embossed the background with silver embossing powder and rounded the corners. I attached a small paper doily to the center, attached my shimmery flower and finished it off with a nice big button, ribbon, and a cute little tag with an embossed sentiment from the Tiny Tags stamp set.

I really just made it to play around with the new punch. This punch also has a coordinating stamp set (Build a Blossom) that I haven't played around with yet. It's so much fun to play! =)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day. =)

Elegant Favor Box

From Adriel:

I usually can move my pictures around, but Blogger has been acting up on me lately, namely with pictures, and the picture is stuck at the top of this post. (I don't know why I feel the need to explain the placement of the photo, but I just do). I made this box using my Matchbox die for the Big Shot. I also used a stamp from the Matchbox Messages set. My daughter, Kayla, likes to make these little boxes. She's becoming quite the stamper and paper crafter!

Speaking of my daughter, she was fine the day after her day of being sick with the flu. We prayed for her and I really believe the Lord touched her body and helped her get well quickly. She was pretty sick on Saturday, with vomiting a few times in the early AM and not eating very much for the entire day and just sitting with the fever & chills and a stomach ache. She was not herself at all, as she is very energetic and perky and cheerful most of the time. Sunday she was hungry and was back to herself. I was surprised at such a quick recovery. I thanked the Lord with her Sunday evening. =) I know that God's answer is sometimes "no" and we don't always understand and He is still worthy of our praise and worship. But sometimes His answer is "yes" and I just wanted to give God the credit and glory He deserves. God is a good God, no matter what His answer is. =)

Orange Razzle Card

From Heidi...I'm not normally and "orange" fan, but I love this little orange and yellow floral print from DS Razzleberry Lemonade paper. This was also my first time using the "Wedding Sweet" stamp set, which we got to make wedding and save the date cards, but it works well for other occasions, as well.
You can use your Stampin' Write marker to color in a portion of the stamp to create a single stem and then add a flower, brad, or crocheted flower to the top of it. As you can see by this picture it would make a nice silhouette flower. I can see lots of uses for this stamp set besides weddings...the stems will make a nice background for fun floral embellishments. I'm looking forward to playing around with it.

Have a great day!

Wedding Guest Album

From Adriel:

I know last month I mentioned a custom wedding guest list album I was working on. I never posted any pictures of it, so I wanted to share them with you!

This wedding guest book doubles as a memory album of sorts, as there are pocket pages inside for keeping the invitation and cards received, as well as some completed pages for putting photos on. The album stands on its own and makes a wonderful way to remember that special day! This was our first real custom order with a deadline and being such an important item, I felt the pressure while making it! I kept hoping the bride would like it! =)

Anyway, I wanted to share it with you! The couple was married on March 14th, so at this point, the lists are all filled up with the names of their guests along with all the wishes. Anyway, it was a challenge, but enjoyable! =)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! =)

Wedding Guest Lists

From Adriel:

I'm making a custom wedding guest book for a bride-to-be for her wedding next month. I've sent her the proof for the lists, but it didn't send over too well. I'm posting it here for her to look at, and you can, too!

Wedding Days!

From Heidi...

This seems to be the season for weddings and I needed a card for a friend's daughter whose wedding is coming up at the end of this month. I drew my inspiration for this card from Adriel's wonderful layout she used for her lavendar wedding card and also from an order we're doing for a bride-to-be, whose colors I fell in love with....Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip and Cream. Thanks for looking!
