Dandelion Wedding Wishes

I can't help it. I'm loving this Dandelion Wishes stamp set. It has sentiments for wedding, get well and love. It is so versatile! You can even combine it with sentiments from other sets. I think the dandelion images in this set would be great for a sympathy card.

Today I'm sharing a wedding card for a special girl in our life. She is the daughter of my husband's work friend. And she is the biggest sweetheart. I was so happy to see her meet the love of her life :) They had a rustic, cowboy theme wedding. So I thought this card was very appropriate.

For this card, I used the following Stampin' Up! products available for purchase in my SU store:

Paper: Crumb Cake Cardstock, Early Espresso Cardstock, Whisper White Cardstock, Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, 

Stamp Sets: Dandelion Wishes

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Early Espresso

Tools: Stampin Trimmer, Label Punch (retired)

Embellishments: Burlap Ribbon, Gold Twine from old Paper Pumpkin kit, Scrap of Aqua Ribbon from Dollar Tree, Button from my Craft Stash

Adhesive: Snail Adhesivie Tape Dispenser, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. And I hope you found something interesting to inspire you here today.

Always & Forever (I'm back!)

I'm back! Lol. Wow. October has been a really busy month. We bought a new truck, and we had to fix the 4Runner (a lot). Shane got pneumonia, and I've had a cold. Anyway, I just really had no time for blogging. But, I'm here now, so let's get to it.

I was challenged by my upline to create a card using a stamp set that had never had ink to it before. I love the Always & Forever set, but I hadn't had time to really play with it yet. And, surprisingly, not many people have. I wasn't able to find a lot of inspiration out on the internet. So, I looked up a sketch from Clean and Simple Sketches and got to work.

I chose FTL sketch #37 because it had a large round element on it, which was similar to the stamp I wanted to use from my stamp set.

I stamped the large round wooden piece with a heart twice on whisper white. I water colored one of them with my aqua painters using Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Regal Rose (retired). I just cut it out by hand. Then on the second one I just colored the heart in and cut it out. I used a Stampin' Dimensional to pop it up on top of the other.

I used the following Stampin' Up! products available for purchase in my SU store at the link in the sidebar :) 

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Whisper White, Old Olive

Designer Series Paper: Wood Textures DSP

Ink Pads: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Regal Rose (retired, but you could use any dark pink)

Punches: Leaf Punch

Adhesives: Snail Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals

Other Accessories: Stampin' Sponges for inking edges, small bit of pink patterned paper from my stash (non-Stampin' Up!)
