Wedding Season is Here

Hello Stamping Friends,

We all know the fall is a great time to have a wedding. My own anniversary is in the fall, my husband's parents had a fall wedding, and now my son will have a fall anniversary. Keep scrolling...........

This week with Sisters in Stamping we are sharing wedding cards with you. But I have decided to share not just any wedding cards. I am sharing my son and daughter in love's wedding invitation and the program I made for their wedding ceremony. They just got married on Saturday.

The invitation is on the left and the program on the right. There were quite a few steps to both, but they look beautiful. So, it was well worth the work.

The invitation was held closed using a removable belly band. Remove the band and open the card to see all the information.

It was a tri-fold card because they had a lot of information that needed to be shared and they didn't want a lot of different separate pieces that may get lost.  The wedding was a full weekend at a camp, so festivities began on Friday and finished up on Sunday. They didn't want their wedding to be over in just a few hours. They truly wanted to celebrate all weekend with their friends and family. It was a great weekend!

This is the program for the ceremony. It is regular card size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). I made them to coordinate with their invitations. They are slightly different though. 

The inside has the people most important to the bride and groom and their wedding party on the left and the program for the ceremony on the right. I love how they turned out. (Even though, my own daughter said I was a bit crazy for making them so detailed)

Here's the groom. My first-born son. A handsome lad if you ask me. (And no, I'm definitely not biased) I am so proud of him my heart can just burst.

Can't you see the pride in my face?

Here's the new bride and groom.

And lastly, my whole family. I am a blessed woman.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon. Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more wedding card ideas.

Crafty Collaborations Thank You Blog Hop

Hello Stamping friends,

Hope your week is off to a great start. Today I am joining a thank you blog hop with Crafty Collaborations. We should always send thank you cards to show our appreciation.  I know it's not always an easy task to accomplish, but a handmade card is always appreciate.

I love the apple harvest set in the mini catalog. It's perfect for the fall and with me being a teacher it's even better.  Teachers always need thank you cards so this just went together perfectly.

I love the gingham/plaid paper pack and have used it for so many different projects so far. It's a staple to have in your stash, you should order it if you don't have it already. You will love it and use it so much in your crafting.

I love the sharp contrast of the black and red. It really draws your eye to the card.  The apple was colored using Stampin' Blends. Another fun little part of the card is the greeting on an angle that overlaps some of the other elements.

Thanks for stopping by. Keep hopping.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Autumn

Hello Stamping Friends,

Glad you could join me today for another great blog hop with Crafty Collaborations. Today is the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop with an Autumn theme. I love the fall, except for the fact that winter comes right after (and it always seems to come too fast and stay too long).

My project today is a little unconventional in the fact that it isn't the usual card. I made a 3D project. Well, I didn't make it, but I took the wood cutout and finished it with some great designer series paper, Rustic Harvest.

I absolutely love how my turkey turned out. I ordered the wooden turkey from Foundations Decor. They have so many great projects ready to be finished. I selected several different patterns of the designer paper to cover my turkey. The different patterns give it a lot of dimensions. 

I adhered the designer paper to the wood pieces using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also added a little sparkle by adding a gem to the heart. Isn't he the sweetest turkey you have seen?
