Wedding Blooms

Happy Monday...and happy first full day of Spring! I hope you had a great weekend. I am back to work today after March Break...always a little bit tougher to get out of bed the first day back after a week off!

This morning I have a project I designed last weekend as I was playing with the Botanical Builder Framelits...

Wedding Card featuring the Botanical Builder Framelit dies with sentiment from the Suite Sayings stamp set.

Now, I didn't set out to make a wedding card when I first sat down to design this, but it sort of evolved into one. I began by embossing a piece of Whisper White card stock using the Lovely Lace TIEF. Then layered a piece of It's My Party DSP (it's not just for birthdays, you know!) which I had die-cut using the edge die from the Botanical Builders Framelits. I added several flowers die-cut from Whisper White card stock. I added shimmer to each bloom using the clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.

The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set and is stamping in Smokey Slate ink. I punched the stamped image using the 1-3/4" circle punch and then layered it on Smokey Slate and Mint Macaron card stock circles. I added some strings of pearls from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit and some self-adhesive basic pearls. The entire card is built on a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Mint Macaron card base.

On the inside, I stamped a Whisper White panel using Smokey Slate ink and a sentiment from the For the New Two stamp set. I added a little flower punched using the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack, as well as a few more pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today...I hope you have a great week!

Forever Begins Today

I am SOOOOOO excited!!  One of my stampin' besties is coming for a sleep over! Wahoooo!  The uber-talented and super-awesome Michelle Suit of Suitably Stamped is coming to hang at Casa Girsa this weekend. We are gonna stamp and drink wine and stamp some more...and then probably drink more wine ;) Just wait until you see the awesomeness that is going to come out of our time together.
Ok...now for a project!  Today I have a wedding card that I designed for my upcoming Occasions Card Buffet...

Wedding card featuring the Suite Sayings stamp set and Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper

I have to admit, I really love the way this one turned out. I began with a piece of Timeless Elegance DSP...the soft floral pattern is exactly what I wanted for this project. I then added colour to the flowers using a sponge dauber and Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz inks. I added a gold foil heart doily from the Love Blossoms Embellishment kit, as well as some Blushing Bride satin ribbon, which is from the same kit. Over the ribbon, I layered some Sahara Sand lace trim and then secured the DSP to a Sahara Sand card base.

The sentiment is heat embossed in gold on Very Vanilla card stock and die-cut using the Lots of Labels Framelits. Behind the die-cut label I added some pearl trim, which is also from the Love Blossoms kit. The final touch was a few Blushing Bride sequins from the same kit.

Inside view with sentiment from the For The New Two stamp set and images from the Timeless Love stamp set.

On the inside I stamped a piece of Very Vanilla card stock using one of the floral images from the Timeless Love stamp set using Sahara Sand ink. The images coordinate beautifully with those on the Timeless Elegance DSP. The sentiment, which is from the For the New Two set, is heat embossed in gold.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend...I know I sure will!
