love story polaroid

I am attending a wedding today of a former student of mine from back when I taught 5th grade! I'm guessing probably 10 years ago?! Now if that doesn't make me feel a little old...

I wanted to create for the bride and groom a one of a kind card for their special day, so I grabbed my Color Coach (#130118 / $14.95) to help give me some ideas. The Color Coach is useful during those times you just need a little extra help in coming up with colors that look good together. Don't forget you'll need to purchase the In-Color cards separately!! (2012-2014: #130119 / $2.50, 2013-2015: #130120 / $2.50) I flipped the pages until I came to the combo Crumb Cake, Raspberry Ripple, and Perfect Plum and decided to go for it!

Using the Versamark pad, I stamped the background with my current favorite background stamp Positively Chevron and then embossed using Iridescent Ice embossing powder (see the sparkle there on the top right of the card?) The "Polaroid" frame was made using the new Squares Collection Framelits...which I just got in my box of goodies this week! I saw the "Polaroid" as a demonstration at Convention and was excited to try one of my own. On the inside of the card is stamped the second part of the greeting: "Wishing you a lifetime of HAPPINESS".

wedding day

A couple of Saturdays ago I had the pleasure of attending a BEAUTIFUL wedding for one of the gals in my stamp club (and two other stamp club members were her bridesmaids!). I knew that her colors were going to be purple (my favorite!) because we had been discussing ideas for some of the special touches she wanted to add to the reception tables. So, I decided that I would create her and her new hubby a special card matching her wedding colors...as close as I could get with Stampin' Up! colors, of course.

I thought I would try to catch up a little bit and share the three cards I had created for my June card making night. I took a break for the summer from Stampin' Up! events, so I could spend some time with my family and enjoy not having anything extra on the calendar. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and holding more events and starting up clubs again!

color time at the paper players!

I took a little break from sketches after my guest designing duties ended at The Paper Players, but I couldn't stay away for long!! As I was planning for my monthly card night this week, I headed over to The Paper Players to get some inspiration and found this great color combo...

 

I wanted to showcase some of the new catalog products at my card night, so I chose the Make a Cake set and pulled out my handy dandy Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up everything just right. It was fun to see what all the ladies came up with to create their very own cake...wish I would have snapped some pictures! I chose to do a wedding cake and will be saving it for my cousin who will be getting married in a month. Perfect!

 

 Just got this card in under the wire as the linky closes at noon. Head on over to The Paper Players to see all the great inspiration using these three colors.
