HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all! And here it is January and thoughts of "Spring" in the air. My thoughts of course is in the direction of my son wedding, which is in June, and God knows it comes quick. My future Daughter-in-law to be, is so excited that all she's thinking of lately is "I DO" Day. Which is good, so I had her thinking about her Bridal Shower, and a card of her choice. She actually picked one that I really didn't think she would like, and not in her colors of Kelly Green and Daffodil Delight Yellow. Pink and white was her choice so I decided to run with it.
The stamp set came from the "SUMMER MINI" Catalog, since I had it, I haven't done anything with it, so off I go...
MATERIALS USED: Blissful Bride stamp set- #120036, BigShot- #113439, Brayer- #102395, MARKERS: Melon Mambo- #121074, Daffodil Delight- #119677, Pretty in Pink- #100045, Certainly Celery- #105106. CARDSTOCK: Whisper White- #100730, Pink Passion- Retired. Acrylic Blocks- block D #118485, block E #118484. Dazzling Diamond Glitter- #102023. INK: Pretty in Pink- #126955, Chocolate Chip- #126979, Stazon Black- #101406, Dauber Sponge-#102892. Fancy Embossing Folder- ANYONE OF YOUR CHOICE. New "Stampin" Trimmer- #126889.
Cut 8 1/2x 11 Cardstock of Pink Passion into half.(Remember 1 sheet of paper will make 2 cards)
Cut FULL sheet of cardstock into QUARTERS ( Best way for this is to fold in half and fold again in half, cut at creases).
Use Embossing folder on card front and the 1/4 sections of whisper white. Next is to lightly highlight the embossed pattern. Now when you do this there CANNOT be ANY PRESSURE on the BRAYER. So when I say LIGHTLY it is LIGHTLY. Make some practice trials, before tackling this.
Take the embossed tinted quarter piece, fold in half and cut. Glue this piece to the cardfront Pink Passion.
All of this is done now and let's do the stamping surface. You will have to cut more whisper white cardstock, cut into QUARTERS(1/4).Cut off 1" on (1)long and (1)short side. Measurements? 3 1/4"x4 1/2" I'm really bad at measurements sometimes.
This is your stamping surface.
Stamp dress and flowers on cardstock just trimmed down.
Go around edges with Dauber of Chocolate Chip ink. Also Glitter Flowers and the Ribbon on the dress.
Now I'm making this card for a Bridal Shower Invite, I will do a R.S.V.P for the inside. And since I had so many Pink Passion Cardstock already decked out, I did take 5 of those cards and did "For the Bride & Groom" Card, and that could also be a "Anniversary" card,a Beautiful Prom Card,something along that area. I did Daffodril Delight color flowers with black centers on the flowers.
Inside to this card.
Labels on the cards are made with the following PUNCHES: Decorative Label- #120907
Modern Label- #119849, Word Window- #119857, I don't have anything on the other punch. It did come from a Label Set a few years back.
The labels for front of cards. Stamp,Punch, glue, punch then glue again.
And the finish Product..
And I didn't forget about the Envelopes. Jumbo Wheel- Wedding Words#125433, and the Wheel Handle#103661, I had the Ink cartridge for a while, but can buy them. Jumbo cartridge#103678 or the standard#101529
This isn't too bad to make if you had to make alot of them. The coloring of the flowers- Believe it or not, a messy Look, looks COOL...
