Unless you are brand new here you will know that my Wedding is fast approaching (actually, its on Saturday!!!!) and I have been busy making Thank You cards, gifts and boxes like a mad woman for weeks (and months!), but I have also been super busily working away on some really cool things that are going to be going on on my blog and my Facebook page while I’m away; including my Free On-line Workshop for August!
Seeing as when the workshop goes live I will be lying on a beach on my honeymoon, I thought I would share some of my Wedding related projects this month; thank you cards, my Wedding favours that sort of thing. While I was playing around with stamps and ink, and planning the workshop this card appeared as if by crafty magic on my desk.
This card uses two stamp sets actually – Everything Eleanor which I will be featuring in that On-line Workshop, and Me = Grateful (also coming to some classes near you soon!)
The swirl from Everything Eleanor is stamped in Elegant Eggplant onto Whisper White card stock, and matted onto a card base of Elegant Eggplant too. That ‘Thank You’ sentiment is gorgeous isn’t it? It actually is part of a bigger stamp in the Me = Grateful Stamp set, the whole stamp says – Thank You for seeing me through some dark days…’ – and while that is lovely, it isn’t really appropriate for our Wedding themed card. There are two ways of stamping part of a sentiment stamp – both of which is use often – either; mask off part of the stamp with Washi tape or a Sticky note, or grab for your marker pens! Well, this sentiment is heat embossed in Gold, and while our Stampin’ Up!® inks do hold embossing powder, I grabbed my Versamark pen (unfortunately not sold by SU, but you can find it HERE) and just inked the part of the stamp I wanted.
A super quick and simple, elegant Thank You card.
