Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! While the COVID 19 pandemic is adding stress to our lives, we Pals hope this blog hop will help to lift your spirits. Let us inspire you to take a creative break and relax for a little while. This month our theme is “Special Occasions” where we have made a project for just about any occasion you can think of! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

 

I recently received a wedding “save the date,” so it inspired me to create a wedding card with someone special in mind.

Mr. & Mrs.

 

I began with a Thick Whisper White card base, using one of the new Ornate Borders Dies to decorate the edge. It turned out perfectly…..the second time. The first time, my pretty border was accidentally, completely cut from the card front.

TIP: Make sure the die is facing the right direction. See the straight piece on the ends of the die? The larger portion of the die needs to face the fold of the card. 

However, I didn’t let my die-cut mistake go to waste. Can you see how pretty it looks, decorating the envelope flap, in the first picture?

 

Next, I found the sentiment in the Last A lifetime Stamp Set. I stamped “To The New Mr. & Mrs.” in VersaMark, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. An Ornate Layers Die was just the right size for cutting.

 

Beneath the sentiment, I added foliage made with Frosted Bouquet Dies and a Botanical Tags Die, cut from Purple Posy, Soft Sea Foam, and Whisper White Cardstock. For a touch of sparkle, I added a few Iridescent Sequins.

 

I continued the sentiment on the inside, also from the Last A Lifetime Stamp Set. The same gold embossing technique was used, and then framed by using an Ornate Layers Die.

 

I appreciate you hopping to my blog today. Thank you! The supplies for today’s card can be seen in my Product List below.
