Wedding Shower Card for Jackie...

One of my daughters is getting married in May.  Her fiance's grandmother hosted a shower for her last weekend and I decided to give them an "organization package" for a gift.  I gave them a filing cabinet, paper shredder, fire/water proof chest and hanging files/file folders.  I immediately thought the card should reflect the gift, so I made this adorable filing cabinet wedding card.  Never thought I'd use all those words in the same sentence, did you?  LOL!


I used a Whisper White card base and a slightly smaller piece of Whisper White embossed with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder (smooth side up).  I used some retired Brushed Silver card stock for the filing cabinet and a bit of the Silver Foil for the handles, lock and bow (Balloon Pop Up Thinlints Dies).  I popped up the bottom drawer to put in the Wedding Wishes (Rose Wonder stamp set) sentiment.  I also added a personal note using lots of organizational puns to the happy couple.

Sometimes, you can let your gift be the inspiration for your card.  Try it out and see what you come up with!

2016 Annual Hostess Tea - part 2....

Today I'm going to share some more photos from the Hostess Tea and the projects we made.  This is one of my favorite events of the year and I think my Hostesses really like it too.  Oh, you didn't get to go?  All you have to do is hosting a fun evening of stamping and creating sometime this year and you too can attend this EXCLUSIVE event!  My top 3 customers who didn't host also receive an invitation.  

Carrie, Christal, Janet, Sherry, Michele and Susan

This fun card was made using Watercolor Paper and ink refills to paint a wash background.  White dragonflies were die cut using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies and the words are from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.  
This fun New Years card was made using the new Balloon Adventures stamp set and Balloon Bouquet Punch.
 
Since we were having a fiesta, we needed to use the Birthday Fiesta stamp set and dies one more time.  This fun fold card was perfect to make this festive birthday card.

Here's the inside.


Here a fun card using the new Beautiful You stamp set from the Occasions catalog and some of our Playful Palette Designer Series paper.  
Our last project can be found here from a previous post.
