Great Impressions: Elegant Wedding

Hi, all!  I'm back today with another card that uses a gorgeous sentiment stamp from the Great Impressions online store!  This card was made for my little sister, who was married last month.  Come and check it out...

The sentiment, E36 On Your Wedding Day, was stamped onto some glimmer cardstock and heat embossed in gold.  It is SO hard to photograph the shine, but it is so pretty!  

This amazing sentiment can stand on it's own, so all I did was layer some cardstock, glitter paper, and dry embossed glimmer cardstock onto the card base. Like I stated, the shine on this card is totally unreal!  SO elegant!

I'm pleased to say that my sister and new brother-in-law really loved this card!  Hopefully they keep it forever...they better! ;)  What do you think of it?  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

That's all for me today!  I'll be back next soon with another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store.  I hope you join in our current challenge, and, if you use Great Impressions stamps, link them up in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

CutCardStock: Bride & Groom Envelopes

Hello my super wonderful blogging peeps!  It's my day over at the CutCardStock blog and today I am sharing a project using beautiful products from the CutCardStock online store.  I've created a set of bride and groom envelopes for a very special reason.  My little sister is getting married in May, and I thought it would be fun to make these envelopes and then have each of them write a letter the night before the wedding and gift it to each other after the wedding.  There are so many other things they could be used for, too!  Take a peek at them side by side...

For the groom envelope, I used a Curious Metallic A7 Envelope in Ionised.  I layered some pieces of Ice Silver Curious Mettalic paper and adhered each layer with 3D Double Sided Foam Tab Adhesive.  The buttons were punched and the bow tie cut out of more Ionised Curious Metallic paper.

The bride envelope was created from a Classic Linen A7 Envelope in White Pearl.  The dress was cut from Ice Gold Curious Metallic paper and the bottom half was embossed.  Some pink ribbon, pearls, and flowers, finished off the dress.  I just free handed the dress--that was a fun process! ;)  The dress was added with the same 3D Double Sided Foam Tab Adhesive.

For a full tutorial on how I created these envelopes, hop over to the CutCardStock blog today!  Don't forget to grab these products from the CutCardStock online store, too!  All A7 envelopes are on sale right now--it's a steal of a deal!

Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by today!  I will be back later with more crafty ideas for you all.  Until then, HUGS and happy crafting, friends! :)
