Wedding Week – Congrats to you two….

Stampin' Up! UK wedding card

I hope you are enjoying my week of Wedding themed projects!

Today I thought we would move away from being part of the wedding party, and make a card as a wedding guest – the perfect congratulations card. I get married in August and if I receive just one hand stamped card like this one I will be a super happy bride! Saying that I won’t be opening any cards until 3 weeks after the wedding, after several members of my family have been cat sitting in my house, so I might even get this card!

Its another super simple card from me, I’m loving white space at the moment. I’m not sure if that’s just my style (it always was when I made 12×12 scrapbook layouts) or whether its just because my head is so full of wedding planning and work that I need some space somewhere!

Using the Your Perfect Day stamp set (about to retire! so grab it now!) the cake is stamped in Sahara sand stamped off once. The Congrats was then stamped over the top in Versamark ink and heat embossed in gold.

So pretty

Freshly Made Sketches #183 – Perfectly Lacy

Hello! Time for something a little different on StampinByHannah. I was recently a Guest Design Team member for a challenge blog (you can find my posts here and there!) and just loved taking part in the challenges – so, I’m going to try to enter a challenge each week.

This week, I’m playing along at Freshly Made Sketches, Challenge #183

FMS 183

I love a simple sketch, probably because I’m a simple card maker, but I think this one has plenty of scope for a more complex card.

I’ve use one of my current favourite background stamping techniques one this one to create this soft, stamped effect. Ink up your background stamp with Sahara Sand (or any other pale colour) and stamp off once. Then lay your card stock onto the stamp, and rub gentle circles in patches across the card stock. Here I’ve used Something Lacy from the Spring/Summer catalogue – isn’t it stunning!

Stampin' Up! UK Freshly Made Sketches #183 Your Perfect DayThe panel on the right is a piece of Very Vanilla matted into a piece of Early Espresso. The stamps here at from Your Perfect Day – the most lovely Wedding stamp set! and are stamped in Sahara Sand and Early Espresso. I’ve layered this panel onto the card with some dimensionals, after wrapping a length of Early Espresso Bakers Twine a couple of times around the card and tying a bow (I think it might even be my best bow yet – not bad for someone who is very bow challenged!) .

I’m rather proud of that bow actually!

A Perfect Day …..

A couple of weekends ago we attended the wedding of a close friend, and you know what weddings mean, wedding cards!

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Card Your Perfect DayWe had the most fabulous day at a castle in County Durham, not too far from where we live, and partied into the night. I have to say I was  little worse for wear the next day exhibiting at a craft fair! Things are really crazy busy around here at the moment, with planning and preparing for our own wedding, making wedding invitations for other people, my full time day job, and running my Stampin’ Up! business! James started at university last week, so I have plenty of time when he’s working or studying.

Anyway, that’s enough of my ramble; The card uses the Your Perfect Day stamp set. and Brushed Gold Card stock.

The sentiment is embossed onto vellum. I applied a little Tombow glue to the embossed area to attach it to the card, it worked well actually and even after a couple of days I still couldn’t see it. Behind the vellum the image is stamped in Sahara Sand (stamped off once) with So Saffron Flowers.

I also stamped the inside! something I don’t do nearly often enough!

Ambassador’s Chocolate box! using Stampin’ Up! UK products – video Tutorial

I love taking packaging as inspiration for handmade projects, a few weeks ago I was shopping with a friend and spotted a long thin box of chocolates, and just knew I had to buy it and re-create it. Now, that box wasn’t all that exciting, but using an existing box makes it much easier to re-engineer a box to fit the same items! So, the original box held 5 chocolates, my version holds 3, but I think 3 of these indulgent chocolates is enough!

Stampin' Up! UK Ferrero Rocher box chocolate video tutorial

I have made this box a few times now, with punched out sections, and designer series paper, but may favourite has to be this Brushed Gold version. The photo doesn’t do the colour of this cardstock justice, but I think I managed to capture the shine in the video.

I also grabbed one of the new wedding themed stamp sets from the Spring/Summer catalogue for the stamped sentiment – Your Perfect Day, punched out perfectly (pun intended) with the 1 1/4″ circle punch. I just love the look of these two punched layered on top of each other, the bottom layer is a 1 3/8″ circle punched from Blackberry Bliss cardstock (love that colour!)

Measurements:

Cardstock = 8 1/4 x 6 1/2″ (21 x 17 cm)

Score on the long side first at – 1/2, 2, 6 1/4 and 7 3/4″ (1 , 5, 16, and 20 cm)

Score on the short side at 1/2, 2, 3 1/2 and 5″ (1, 5, 9, 13 cm)

Measurements for Designer Series Paper:

4 pieces cut to 1 1/4 x 4″ (3 x 10 cm)

2 pieces cut to 1 1/4 x 1 1/4″ (3 x 3 cm)
