So every month as part of the Queens group, we do a card swap. For the month of April, the theme was Wedding cards. I was so glad because Wedding cards are some of the hardest cards to make for me. I really struggle with them. We can do as many cards as we want. I decided to do so that I would get twice the swaps and ideas back. I just want to thank my friend Laura Mellinger. Both of these cards were inspired by cards she made.
Here is my first card.
I knew I wanted to use the Parisian Blossoms DSP featured in our Jan-Jun Mini catalog. This paper is so pretty. Some of the pieces are foiled with a champagne color. I also wanted to use the Last a Lifetime stamp set because well it’s all about marriage & weddings!!
Card #2
This second card was lots of fun to make. I pulled out my Stamparatus and used it to do what we call “hinge” stamping. This card used a DSP called Ornate Garden, part of the Ornate Garden suite. It will be available in our annual catalog that begins in June. This DSP is so pretty too. It’s foiled with gold foiling. The Ornate Garden suite also has some wonderful dies. Both the gold scallop along the left edge and the gold flowers behind the sentiment come from these dies.
I hope everyone has a great day!!
Happy Stamping!!
