Precious Wedding Memories!

I am SOOO pleased!! Today I received my daughter's wedding album, my first MY DIGITAL STUDIO book! The cover is glossy, the photos crisp, and pages high quality!! I just couldn't be happier with the printing service from Stampin' Up!! I have created and printed MANY greeting cards with MDS! I love this unique way of creating. It has not replaced my rubber stamping, but it has expanded my options. You can get a FREE 30-day Trial of MY DIGITAL STUDIO by clicking Shop Now on the right.

Stained Glass Designer Cuts Tutorial

Isn't this a lovely effect? It's easy...

On the INSIDE of a Designer Cuts card, permanently attach a piece of cardstock vellum over the design. Grab your markers - I chose alots of blues and one green from my Stampin' Up! Many Marvelous Markers. On the inside (which is the BACK of the card front) quickly scribble colors onto the vellum over the cut openings.

NO need to be neat - be quick. Then permanently cover the vellum with Very Vanilla cardstock for a tidy appearance.

The card front will now have a STAINED GLASS look! It's fun to experiment with different color combos!

Now YOU give it a try! Stock up on the Designer Cuts cards and envelopes from the Occasions Mini Catalog which expires April 30th.

 STOP IN MONDAY

What do you do with a Hat Pin?

Did you see the Hat Pins in the Occasions Mini Catalog on page 18?? Here is a creative use of the Hat Pin by my demonstrator friend Tami Waddell. She laced the pin through ribbon and lace! So pretty!

The card is the lovely Designer Cuts that comes with Blushing Bride Envelopes! Just back the die cut shape with any cardstock or Designer Series Paper to have a speedy card! The package contains 8 cards, in two designs. Give them a try!

A Special Day

 
This is our oldest daughter Kelly and her new hubby, Chris! It was a lovely small intimate wedding lakeside in Wayzata, Mn!! A truly memorable day!

 
Sisters! Katie was Kelly's Maid of Honor. Our lovely AND smart daugthers!

A Special Couple

 
This special Very Vanilla on Vanilla creation was my wedding card for our daughter, Kelly and her groom, Chris! I used the lovely Fun Flowers Bigz Die with the Big Shot. A light sponging of Sahara Sand ink highlights all the great details.

 
Using a Bone Folder, I curled the petals slightly upward and used a Vintage Brad in the flower center. Very elegant with Basic Pearls that just press on!

Here comes the BRIDE!

 
My daughter chose CHERRY COBBLER color for her wedding - it's sooo deep and rich! LOVE IT!! I created table cards with glitzy RHINESTONES!

 
For flower embellishments, I used Stampin' Up!'s 5-PETAL PUNCH and BOHO BLOSSOM PUNCH. Curl up the petal tips using a bone folder. So simple!

Happy I Do Day!

 
June is for weddings! Here is an elegant white on white design with a FLASH of Rhinestones! The greeting from WORD PLAY stamp set is embossed in Silver for the special couple. To create the unique layer, center the DOTTED SCALLOP RIBBON BORDER punch on each side of a 3" square. Pop it up with DIMENSIONALS!
