We have a technique class tonight at palcrafts, and one of our regular crafters has a birthday tomorrow.  So, to celebrate, in addition to chocolate, I'm presenting her with some flowers.  And one of the best things about these – they "live" forever.  I got the directions for these from the On-line extras available to Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  Another one of those perks associated with being a part of the Stampin' Up! family. 

The colors are the 2011-2013 In Colors – Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder and Island Indigo.  Aren't those names great!  The Big Shot dies used were: Blossom Party, Fun Flowers and Flower folds.  The Textured Impressions Embossing Folder was Vintage Wallpaper.  Punches used included Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer, Fancy Flower, Heart to Heart, and Full Heart. 

I made the tag by punching the Decorative Label on a folder piece of Calypso Coral, and stamping a sentiment from Word Play on Whisper White Card Stock.  And of course, I had to add a little bling – Basic Rhinestone Jewel. 

If you're interested in learning and/or teaching fellow crafters how to make fun projects and gifts like these flowers, contact me at palcrafts@att.net or 321-482-0136.


Bride and Groom Card

I saw this card on a blog tour the other day – can't think of the name of it at the moment – and the credits led back to Lynn Pratt's blog – www.stampndesign.blogspot.com – where she provides a free template.

I decided to emboss the bottom of the wedding dress with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder and added Basic Pearls after tinting them with the Marina Mist Stampin' Write Marker.  I added a little Marina Mist 1/8" Taffera Ribbon at the waist.  For the groom, I used Heat & Stick Powder, Black Chunky Essentials Stampin' Glitter and a heat tool. 

On the inside I layered Marina Mist and Whisper White Card Stock.  I punched the four corners of the Whisper White with the Scallop Trim Corner Punch, sponged with Marina Mist Classic Ink and stamped with "Happy I Do Day" from the Word Play Stamp Set. 

What a fun little wedding card!
