Bridal Shower Card

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start!

We are starting the day off with some clouds but otherwise no rain around. Going to be another 60 degree day, too! Shawn went fishing this morning, trying to take advantage of the warmer temperatures. I have some laundry to pick at and I would like to go do some stamping in between. 

Today I want to share a bridal shower card that I made 2 weeks ago for Audrey. The shower was last Saturday but I haven't heard how it went yet. This week I have another card order to work on for her but she does not need the cards until the end of February so that gives me some time.

The last picture shows the card and the invitation. The colors are purple & gray...

I didn't quite have the right kind of stamps for this invitation but did my best with what I had.

Card Details:

Stamps: First Frost (retired), Forever Fern (retired), Watercolor Mini's (retired SAB 01), Custom Tee (retired)

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Basic Gray

Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Highland Heather, Basic White

Accessories: Frosted Bouquet Framelits (retired), T-Shirt Builder Framelits (retired), Sheer White Ribbon w Silver Trim, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It did not turn out all that bad and Audrey was pleased with it!

Sara's Bridal Shower Card

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

Another beautiful day is upon us here in south central PA today and most of the weekend!

I got Audrey's card order delivered last evening. It was so nice to visit with her and catch up on things. She looked better this time and was just in a great place with just getting home from seeing her newest great granddaughter! The card I am sharing today was part of her card order. This is for her one granddaughter that is getting married in December. She got invited to another bridal shower for her and that is why she asked for a 2nd card. I pulled out a bunch of old stamps till I found something that worked well for this.

I used a retired set called Weather or Not. It is a wood mounted set which I think was from maybe 2005? I will double check that when I get back to my stamp room.

I stamped that row of umbrella's in Night of Navy several times using my Stamp A Ma Jig.

The sentiment came from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes which I stamped with Baroque Burgundy which has been long retired. My sheer Navy Ribbon is retired too but wow, does it ever tie a nice bow. I wrapped some retired Gold Twine around it and tied another bow. I just love the ribbon treatment on this! Audrey loved it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Weather or Not (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy, Baroque Burgundy (retired)

Cardstock: Baroque Burgundy (retired), Gold Foil Paper, Basic White

Accessories: Classic Label Punch (retired), Festive Pearls, Navy Sheer Ribbon (retired), Gold Twine (retired), 2 Sided Tape

I have a busy day ahead with getting some things on my stamp table finished up and laundry to do. Tomorrow night we are headed to a Paul Cauthen concert which will be fun!

Sunday will be a day of rest with watching football. 

I'm tired just thinking about it! LOL

Bridal Shower

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I hope your week is going well so far!

I had a doctor appointment last evening for my 6 month check up. All went well. Got blood drawn to check my A1C and my thyroid levels. Also got my flu shot! I'm not usually one to get all these shots that are available these days but after being sick last Fall I decided to get the flu shot for the 2nd year. My arm is a bit sore this morning but so far so good!

Today I am sharing a bridal shower card that Audrey requested a few weeks ago.

She usually gives me the invitation to make something that matches it but this time she only gave me the colors. The colors being: Burgundy, Navy & Gold. 

This is what I made for her...

I don't have much in stamps for this occasion so I pulled out my old standby set called Love & Laughter and got busy!

Card Details:

Stamps: Love & Laughter (retired), Sincere Salutations (retired)

Ink: Baroque Burgundy (retired), Night of Navy

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Baroque Burgundy (retired), Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Bouquet of Love Hybrid EF (retired), Deckled Rectangle Dies, Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Festive Pearls, Burgundy Sheer Ribbon (retired), Gold Twine (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She was so happy with this card! 

It is for her one granddaughter who is getting married in December. 

She sure has a lot of big life events going on!

Can you believe that we are 1 week away from Halloween!

Crazy how fast time flies by anymore!

Teapot Bridal Shower

 Good Morning & Happy Fri-YAY!

My dear sweet hubby has a 4 day weekend (YAY!). 

We are going to have a busy day with finally getting the back porch painted and then digging thru all of Kelsey's stuff in the storage room to get out my front porch rocking chairs. They have been packed away since last Fall and before all of her stuff made their way to my basement. I am so excited to finally get both porches done for the summer! Last evening we were out and I picked up some flowers for my City Slicker boxes that sit on my back porch and also got a hanging basket of geraniums. Not sure I will get them planted today but most certainly tomorrow!

Today I have a pretty card to share that I made for my card lady. She requested a Bridal Shower card with pink teapots on. I did see the invite so I went from there. That request took me by surprise but I guess anything goes these days! I kept this one simple but let me warn you....you will need to wear your sunglasses to view it! 

Lots of Polished Pink on this card with some Call Me Clover in the mix!

I pulled out the retired Tea Together bundle from a few years back and tried my hand at coloring these with Stamp Blends. I loved the end result and hope Audrey will too!

Card Details:

Stamps: Tea Together (retired), Custom Tee (retired sentiment)

Ink: Memento Black, Polished Pink (retired), Stampin Blends-Polished Pink & Call Me Clover (retired)

Cardstock: Polished Pink, Basic White

Accessories: Tea Time Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Polished Pink In Color Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That is all for me today!

Bridal Shower & Wedding Cards

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend! 

It was very hot & humid here which was a bit too much, too soon!

My AC ran since Friday afternoon until this morning. We had thunderstorms off & on since Friday and last night it finally brought us a cold front. 

Today I am sharing a few pictures of a bridal shower card & the wedding card that was requested from my card lady for a family relative that was getting married in April. The bridal shower was back in February.

Your going to notice a cheese grater in these shower pictures.

My card lady requested a tag that matched the shower card to attach to the cheese grater. It was a little joke that she shares with the soon to be bride.

A friend helped me out with the champagne glasses diecuts since I did not have anything like that. 

Bridal Shower Card:

Stamps: Forever Fern, Art Gallery (sentiment)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Double Oval Punch, Unknown Champagne Glasses Diecuts, Glue Dots, Gold Cord, Mossy Meadow Satin Ribbon (retired), Gold Rhinestones, Gold Eyelet, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Here is the wedding card...

Wedding Card Details:

Stamps: Forever Fern, Love & Happiness

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, Gold Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card lady was so happy with both of these cards because they matched the invitations!

I did not save that picture that was on my phone or I would have shared it with you.

Bridal Shower

Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Our weather was cool & rainy so not much happened around here.

Today I am sharing with you a card I was asked to make for my card lady.

Her grandson is getting married this summer and she sent me the Bridal Shower invite for me to recreate a card like it.

Take a look...

I folded the information part so I did not share the details.

Here is the card I made for her...

I had several different stamp sets out on my table playing around with them to see which I thought looked like the original card.

I settled on a retired SaleABration stamp set from 2018 called, Amazing You.

The ink color is one from many moons ago....Bordering Blue.

Card Details:

Stamps: Amazing You (SAB 18), Sincere Salutations (retired)

Ink: Bordering Blue

Cardstock: Basic White, Bordering Blue

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Stitched Shapes Framelits (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), White Crinkle Ribbon, Glue Dot, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The ink and cardstock color was just a tad off but still it turned out just about perfect and my card lady was very happy with it!

She has not received the wedding invite yet but said once she does she will share it with me to try my hand at recreating it as well!

Surprisingly, this did not stress me out as everything came together smoothly!

Forever Fern Bridal Shower Card

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

Today is also September 1st!

Time sure is flying by, isn't it?

I know I have been all over the place with cards for different holidays or occasions lately.

Stampin Up has brought out their holiday items early this year so that is why I also started sharing card idea's with them. I can't say enough about the Annual Catalog and the Holiday Catalog this year!

My card that I am sharing today is nothing related to the holidays but rather for a bridal shower.

My card lady was invited to a shower for a family at her church.

She always gives me the card itself so I can try to replicate it.

I did not save the picture that I took of the invite but my card was just about spot on.

The card itself was a rectangle scallop which is what I presented in the center section of the card. We do not have a scallop rectangle that is any larger than what I used here.

The center of the invitation had all the information that was needed to attend.

So I replaced that with a sentiment.

Then around the oval panel in the center was a layer of greens completely around it.

I matched up the color to what was on the invitation with Mossy Meadow.

Some of my greens are stamped directly on the scallop panel and some were stamped & diecut then adhered under the oval panel.

Lastly, I added some white pearls and a Mossy Meadow bow.

My card lady was so happy with this card!

I'm telling you....it was pretty darn close to the original!

Card Details:

Stamps: Forever Fern, Dandelion Wishes (sentiment)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Forever Flourishing Dies, Mossy Meadow Satin Ribbon (retired), White Pearls, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Now that the bridal shower is over my card lady gave me the invitation to the wedding so I can work on a card for that. 

The wedding is next month so I hope to soon get busy on that!

Bridal Shower

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I'm really behind today on updating!

I stamped earlier this afternoon then rushed off to my light therapy then stopped at the store on the way home for hamburger buns. Need them for tomorrow night's supper!

Till we got home and I made supper, did dishes, put laundry away, the sun was just about setting!

I made this card earlier today as I was looking on my card rack for a bridal shower card.

I pulled out the entire selection of wedding sets then went in search of some pretty paper.

This paper, Birthday Bouquet, is from 2017 and I still have a few sheets & scraps left.

Gotta use it up!

Card Details:

Stamps: Love & Laughter (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired)

Bridal Shower Invite Part 2

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

After a busy day of doing housework yesterday, I ran off to my stamp table to redo the card I made for my customer. I am much happier with this one....

I redid the whole card removing the little blue flowers and stamping off for my leaves.

I did my sentiment in Soft Suede to go with the natural look of the invite.

Here is the invite again..

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's, Whimsical Words (retired)

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Accessories: Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope I did better this time!

Bridal Shower Invite

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

I had a request from my customer to make a bridal shower card and she asked if I could make it close to what the invite looked like.

Here is the invite and I do want to tell you that I cut the bottom half off because it contained all the personal information.

And this is what I took from it.

I'm not sure on the little blue flowers.

On invite some of those leaves are in a darker almost blue color so that was why I added the little blue flowers. I'm not sure I will let it this way and may give this another try today.

Shawn said it looked fine.

Card Details:

Stamps: Painted Season's (leaves), Beautiful Bouquet (flower & saying)

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Accessories: Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon, Small Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

What do you think?

Maybe I should just redo the leaves and let the little blue flowers off?

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me a comment!

Blah!

Atleast the sun is shining and that always helps!
