CARDS – Little Baby, Big News!

Oh my goodness, I feel like this week has flown by! Seems like we’ve all been go, go, go around here since Monday. I’m very much looking forward to slowing down and spending some time stamping in my studio tomorrow, and then visiting my favorite haunted house on Saturday night 🙂

Anyway, on to today’s projects. My new supervisor is expecting a bouncing baby boy any day now (how exciting!), and a few of the girls at the office organized a surprise baby shower for her this afternoon. I offered to provide a card to pass for everyone to sign, and just happened to have a couple of options in my card stash to choose from for the occasion. It was difficult to select a favorite, but after deliberating I opted to go with the first one. What do you think?

CARD – Happily Ever After

Wedding season is coming, are you ready? Not me! I do have a couple of upcoming occasions, but I’ve got to admit that I’m not very prepared. When I peeked in my card stash recently, my heart sank … either get to work, or head to the store (never!). Here’s a cute one that I came up with. Unfortunately, the pictures do NOT do this card justice. It is super sparkly/shimmery, but I just couldn’t get the camera to capture it properly.

I started with an A2 card base of Shimmery White card stock. I heat embossed the leaves image from World of Dreams twice with Iridescent Ice Stampin’ Emboss Powder, pointing the image into opposite corners.

Next, I heat embossed the “Happily Ever After” sentiment from Big News (retiring soon!) in Iridescent Ice again. I used a smaller piece of Shimmery White card stock and trimmed around the image to create a small panel. I backed this panel with a slightly larger piece of Wisteria Wonder card stock and stapled a some strips of Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon (retired) at the left and right. This entire piece was popped up on some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I fussed around with some of the little flower stamps/punches in Wisteria Wonder and came up with a grouping that I liked before sticking them down with Glue Dots in opposite corners and embellishing with rhinestones, pearls and a few sequins (the rhinestones were colored with the Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities markers, which have recently been discontinued).
