STAMPIN' UP! WEDDING CARD

As this blog post publishes, I am in New Zealand, spending some long overdue time with relatives, celebrating my youngest cousin's wedding!

I want to share with you the card I made for the bride and groom, personalised with their initials.  The wedding invitation was kraft and black, with arrows and hearts - a theme I carried over onto the card I made for them.  It's an informal card, as the wedding is a relaxed affair (with a beach ceremony).

 

I've used the now-retired (boohoo) Black Glimmer Paper for the bow on the balloon, but all the current Stampin' Up! products used on this card are listed below.  If you'd like to buy them for yourself, just click on one of the thumbnail images, and you will be taken to my online store.

STAMPIN' UP! BOHEMIAN/BOHO MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD

A few days ago, a number of family members and long-time friends surprised my brother with a 50th birthday party.  He had no idea it was happening, thinking he was having a quiet dinner at my niece's house.  It's so nice to show people, in this way, how loved they really are!!

When the time came to make a card for the big occasion, I was determined to use the new Bohemian Designer Series Paper, Bohemian Borders stamp set, and Boho Chic embossing folder.  I might've in the end gone a little overboard with all the detail, but I'll share the end result with you anyway!

Most of the product used to make this card is not yet available to purchase; it comes out with the new catalogue on 2nd June (next week, yippee!).  Delightful Dijon, one of the new In Colours, goes really well with Island Indigo, don't you think?  I added in a bit of Blackberry Bliss - dark enough to be a "masculine" purple. :)

STAMPIN' UP'S CELEBRATE TODAY & ADVENTURE BOUND

I made this card for a young man who recently celebrated his 17th  birthday.  I just love the big, bold balloons in Stampin' Up!'s Celebrate Today set.  The colours in  the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper stack are awesome for male cards; I picked out Island Indigo,  Basic Gray and Smoky Slate.
