Bridal Shower Invitation

My daughter is getting married in a few weeks and has asked me to be her Maid of Honor. I am so honored to have her ask me. As part of the Maid of Honor duties, the Maid of Honor is suppose to host a Bridal Shower.

This is the invitation I made for the Bridal Shower.

The Pretty Peacock single layer cardbase is topped with a Vellum panel that has been embossed using the Seashells 3D Embossing folder.

After printing the wording for the invitations on Kraft paper (you could use Crumb Cake cardstock, if you didn't have Kraft paper available), the seashells were randomly stamped using Pretty Peacock ink and the Friends are like Seashells stamp set. The "sand" was stamped using Crumb Cake ink and the Friends are like Seashells stamp set.

Once stamped, the front panel was adhered onto the Vellum Embossed panel. This panel was then adhered onto the cardbase, applying the adhesive only where it would be hidden behind the Kraft paper front panel.

Here's a look at the invitation along with the coordinating envelope.

Christmas in July Blog Hop

Welcome to Team Stamp It Groups Christmas in July Blog Hop! Whether you hopped onto my Blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you "hopped" by.

It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than six months away!

This beautiful card was made using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set along with the coordinating Poinsettia Dies.

The poinsettia flowers and berries were stamped in VersaMark ink onto Basic White cardstock and then heat embossed with Gold Metallic emboss powder.

Once embossed, the berries were colored using a Dark Real Red Stampin' Blend.

The card front was adhered to a Gold Foil sheet using Stampin' Seal. This panel was then adhered onto a Thick Basic White cardbase.

The sentiment on the card front is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and has been heat embossed using the Gold Metallic Emboss Powder.

I was so happy with how the gold embossed card turned out, I decided to make the same card only using Real Red cardstock and White Emboss Powder.

For this card the Real Red card front was adhered onto a Basic White panel. Once adhered, this panel was then adhered onto a Real Red cardbase.

Here's a look at the inside of the card, the sentiment was heat embossed using White Emboss Powder.

Hugs

You may have missed this hidden gem in the new 2021 - 2022 Annual Catalog, it is located on page 19.

The Sending Hugs Bundle can be used in a variety of ways; with or without the coordinating dies, with or without the sentiments included in the stamp set and with or without the raised "HUGS", just to name a few.

The Hugs stamp was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored using Stampin' Blends.

Basic White cardstock and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine were used for the Hugs die. Once cut out, it was then colored with Stampin' Blends and adhered onto the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I think next time I use this die, I will use the adhesive sheets, adhering the adhesive sheet to the cardstock before I run it through to be diecut.

The "HUGS" was cut out using the "HUGS" die that is part of the die set. Before I cut the letters out, I adhered Foam Adhesive Sheet to the Pool Party cardstock.

The sentiments are from the Sending Hugs stamp set and have a coordinating die that matches the size of the stamp.
