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!
