Hello Lovely Card

Why, hello lovely! Yes, it's time for another baby card. But I can imagine you know many lovely people that this card would work for...

I can't get past putting on a bit of bling at the moment - loving our silver glimmer paper to no end.
Sneak peek of some upcoming new products here: The aptly named Hello Lovely and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets and parts of the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit. Only a couple of weeks to go until the new catalogue comes out - YAH!

Mini Suitcase

'Please Deliver To....'
There's only a few days left to order the Sent With Love bundle. Here a little suitcase I made with the Sent With Love Stamp Set. It houses some 3x3 note cards. If you've made pizza boxes before, this is the same concept except I halved the measurement of the edgings on the lid section. Decorate it up as you wish.
Go on, give it a go!

One of the talented demonstrators at Convention showed us the emboss resist technique on vellum. I loved it so much I had to try it right away. Powder emboss, set, and sponge ink over the top. 

A Wonderful Wedding

My beautiful friend married her sweetheart back in March. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was powerful and what a privilage it was to witness their commitment to each other.

As Matron of Honour (and a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator), I had a part to play in bringing the bride's styling ideas to fruition in the reception hall and other details along the way.

The Invitations. Two envelopes folded and adhered in the centre with a
cover to hold it together and info cards inserted.

A timeline of photos to mimic the concept in the 'Proposal Scrapbook'
that the groom made for his fiancee-to-be.

Gorgeous stands and baskets from French Country done up by the bride's family.
Love the light through my bottle collection in this one!

GIANT tissue paper flowers for the bridal table backdrop.
Design perfected by my lovely lady helpers.

The table centerpeices were done up by my amazing friend.
We were going for vibrant colour and fragrance.

The seating plan in a rustic frame made by my DH. Spot the Stampin' Up! white craft ink!

Each table number was a date of significance in the couple's story.

One of these went on each napkin. The reverse said 'thank you for celebrating with us'.

The bride and groom had special ones!

 And just have to share a few more...

The bridesmaids' dresses in beautiful eggplant silk.
The seamstress and florist are sisters. They did an amazing job!
