A wedding CASE

Good morning!

Last weekend I was invited to a fellow derby sister's wedding and of course I had to handmade a card for the happy couple! I headed to pinterest for some inspiration.

This card was CASE'd from Claire Daly and her's was just absolutely gorgeous! Since I didn't have the same supplies she had, I replicated using similar products. I think mine came out nicely and pretty pleased with it. The vellum is embossed with gold stars, since I didn't have the Gold Fancy Designer Vellum that SU offers. I also used the champagne glass glitter on gold cardstock in place of the gold glimmer paper. The heart is also sponged DSP in Primrose Petals. I like the versatility of some of our DSP to really make it your own!

Supplies (All SU unless otherwise noted)

Stamps: Happy Happenings, Countless Sayings 1 photopolymer stamps. 

Paper: Costal Cabana (ret), Pink Pirouette (ret), Modern Medley DSP (ret), Very Vanilla, Vellum. 

Ink: Stazon Black, Primrose Petals, Martha Stewart metallic gold ink.

Accessories: Chalk Talk framelet, Hexagon embossing folder, Champagne glitter, banner punch, gold sequens, metallic gold thread, large delicate doily thinlet, Chalk Talk framelits, gold embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a stamptastic day!

Almost Alaska time!!

So sorry for the lack of posts! Like I've mentioned before, we are a military family so we move often. Finally after 6 long years, its time to head back to America!! Its so real now that the movers came, packed, and loaded the trucks.

I watched my crafty fun things get boxed into little cardboard prisons. (If you listen carefully, you can hear them yelling for their freedom.) :( So, that said I won't be making anything new until mid-July :(. But, still have loads of things that I haven't posted, so I'm going to try and stretch them until I get my things back.

That was the very first crate all sealed up...5 more followed! eek!

I went to Las Vegas, NV. for the first time May 5-9th for one of my bestest friends wedding. Yes, indeed it was a planned LV wedding and I got to be a bridesmaid! It was beautiful and well worth the long flight from London!

Here is the card I made for her. It was a case from Connie Hagenow on Stampin' Connection! 

I used a texturz plate for the background, Punch Bunch for the hearts, the big ol' scallop punch, and the Occasional Quotes stamp set for the sentiment. I also heat embossed the images on the hearts with a black sparkly powder that I picked up locally and the Iridescent Ice SU embossing powder. Oh, and Elegant Eggplant ink for the sentiment as well. If you look closely, you can see I used Iridescent Ice on the Love as well to make it pop! She loved it!

Thanks for the patience as we move to our new home!! Have a scrap-tastic day for me!
