A New Take On An Old Wedding Card

My son's kindergarten teacher is getting married this weekend & he wanted me to make her a card to wish her well.   I knew exactly what I was going to make.  I saw a card in the 2012-2013 annual catalogue & have wanted to case it for ages. My friend Bron has made this card & I was inspired by her version to make my own.  Stampin' Up have so many great ideas in their catalogues so dont EVER throw away an old one.  The ideas are gold in these catalogues!

To Annie & Allan who are getting married on the 7th September - Congratulations & Best Wishes from us!

I have used a few new products for this card, including the silver Encore stamp pad, smokey slate cardstock & the new Brights DSP stack.

Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2013-2014 Sneak Peak Tag A Bag Box & Birthday Card

Whilst at the Stampin' Up! Convention a few weeks ago, I got to create a few Make & Takes.  I wasn't feeling all to well that day so I partially created some of them & the rest I left for when I got home.  A few days ago I got out my Make & Takes & finished a few off.  I love the new colours, particularly the new In Colours so I tried to make a coordinating birthday card for the box we created.

Here is the box we created at convention(I actually made mine at home as I wanted it to get home in one piece).  It was made using the new Tag A Bag Gift boxes.  The coordinating colours of Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White & Crisp Cantaloupe.  All tied together with a Summer Starfruit stitched satin ribbon.  Feathers are the trend right now so I have created those with some paper snips & some circle & oval punches.  There are 2 new stamp sets used here.  Gorgeous Grunge & Hello Lovely.

 A friend of mine actually helped out with the make & takes at convention so I thought as a surprise for her Birthday I would make her a card using some of my scraps left over from the make & take kits.  I don't have any of the new colours yet so I made do with Pool Party DSP, Calypso Coral & Naturals White cardstock.

Pool Party & Calypso Coral Feather Card

In the next few weeks you will see a few exciting sneak peak projects here, using some lovely items from the New 2013-2014 Annual Catalogue.
