Guest Stamper - Carla V

Today I am featuring my very talented friend, Carla V.  She was asked to make Bridal Shower Invitation Cards and this is what she came up with...

I absolutely love it!!  What fun she must have had using all her punches to create this beautiful and fun invitation.  I would love to give you the link to her blog, but she doesn't have one so I am happy to post for her.  You can leave her a comment and I will pass it on to her.  I am sure she will appreciate it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bridal Shower Card and Open House Reminder

You can tell I've been extra busy when I miss a day of blogging.
Today I will show you the third Bridal Shower Card that I was asked to make.
The theme for this shower revolved around the honeymoon destination.  Maybe you can guess by how I made the card...

So thankful that I have dear friends who will let me use their Cricut Machine when I come up with ideas I cannot create with my stamps.  Also very thankful that I did not get rid of this retired Designer Paper from 2 years ago (or so).

Now here is a reminder to you all for my NEW CATALOG OPEN HOUSE

WHEN: Friday, June 19, 6-9pm or Saturday, June 20, 10am-2pm

There will be:

• Door prize drawings
• Demonstrations
• Make and Takes
• Buy 1 Get 1 deals
• Chance to sign up for upcoming classes
• Snacks

No need to RSVP but I would love to hear if you are coming.

Thanks for stopping by!

Special Order Bridal Shower Card #2

Just wanted to give you all a heads up on the WEEKLY DEALS for June 9-15

The second Bridal Shower Card that I was asked to make was for a Bridal Shower with the theme "baking"/"cooking".

I used a followed a punch art by Bonnie Montford but changed it up to make it a girl chef, and I am not sure what punch she used for the hat but I chose to use the Scalloped Oval Punch.  Since hers was a purchasable tutorial I will not show the punch art board I made, but I was able to just view the photo and figure out what she used.  I can say that I used the Owl Builder Punch for her hair because that is something I came up with.
I hope you like it!

Bridal Shower Punch Art

I love it when friends stop by!! A while back a friend asked if she could pop by and use some of my punches for some Bridal Shower invitations she is making...SURE!!!

While she was here I thought I would make one too.  This will be perfect for my wedding theme cards that I am so low on.

She found this cute idea on Split Coast Stampers by a gal named Penny Strawberry.

So Cute!!  Thanks for sharing!!  And spending time with me in my craft room!!

And thanks to all of you for stopping by!

A Bridal Shower for Melissa, our son, Joey's, fiance`

This is our last child to get married and the last grandchild on my side of the family

so we are pretty excited about this fun event.

Yesterday we got our Mani's and Pedi's together - always more fun when done together!!

We went shopping for all the yummy food ingredients we will need for the shower, and preparing

and, of course, lunch and dinner together - with lots of laughs and memories shared.

This is the shower invitation that we sent out to the guests

I used some retired colors which really are not the wedding colors, 

but I had them ready to go before they told me their colors.  

Colors used here are Soft Sky and Groovy Guava.

Bridal Shower Card

Yesterday I shared with you the Bridal Shower Invitations that I made for Jessica’s shower that my sisters are giving her, so now I will show you the card that I made to go with the gift I am giving her. I hope she likes it!!




The Designer Paper I used for the dress is the retired Brides Designer Paper – very appropriate don’t you think!!

For the sky I used mostly Bashful Blue but I put a smidge of Marina Mist in it too.

For the Grass I used mostly Certainly Celery, but I added some Pear Pizzazz as well.




The Flowers are punched from the Boho Blossom Punch and the leaves are from the Two Step XL Bird Punch.




Check out the toile under skirt and the garter belt!!

You just gotta love the Build A Bear Dies!! Thanks goes to Cathy Snipes for this cute idea.

So For Now…
Happy Stamping!!

Bridal Shower Invitations

Tomorrow is the Bridal shower my sisters are giving for Jessica, and this is the invitation that I made for it.
I love the colors that Jeff and Jess chose for their wedding – brown and burnt orange. Of course with Stampin’ Up! you can’t just call your paper brown and orange – so I used Chocolate Chip and Really Rust. If you could see this in person you would see the way it glistens from spritzing the front with our Champagne Shimmer Paint – so elegant!





MENU:
SS: Fifth Avenue Floral, Sincere Salutations
CS: WW, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Vellum
INK: Really Rust, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Manhattan Embossing Folder, Flower Fusion Sizzlit, Rhinestone Brad, Lots Of Tags 2 Sizzlit, Top Note Die, BIG SHOT, Corner Rounder, Organza Ribbon, Sponge, Dimensional, Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint




Tyler loved pitching in to help crank out the Top Note using Gramma’s BIG SHOT. It really was a big help because this card has a LOT of layers, but it is just perfect for this special occasion. I will post photos later but not right away, as I am headed for a weekend with my mom and sisters after the shower is done. Have a great weekend everyone - I know I will!!


So For Now…
Happy Stamping!!
