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.

JAI #267: STAMPIN' UP! BABY CARD USING TYPOGRAPHY

This week at Just Add Ink, Di has set us the challenge to Just Add Typography.  Here's what I found on Wikipedia:

"Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language readable and appealing. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point size, line length, line-spacing (leading), letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space within letters pairs (kerning)."

I decided upon using a collection of different fonts, to create the focal point of my card.  I used so many stamp sets to make this card!!  I have listed them all at the bottom of my post ... it does make me laugh that I told my husband that this card-making caper would save so much money (rather than buying cards)!  I just went through my stamp collection, and used a variety of stamps that were relevant for a baby card.

 

Be sure to check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team creations; and we'd love to have you play along with us!

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. :)

Listed below are the current Stampin' Up! products used on this card.  If you click on the thumbnail images, you will be taken direct to my online store.
