Blushing Bride - Literally!

One of the ladies I follow on Pinterest has been pinning a lot of wedding ideas recently (you know who you are!). It is that time of year, you know. Well, it got me thinking about weddings in general and my wedding in particular. The color scheme for this card was inspired by my wedding. The bridesmaids wore a soft rose color and the groomsmen wore gray tuxes. Plus, this color is called Blushing Bride! Hmmm...

Here is a blast from the past - me with my siblings at my wedding...

Well, anyway, I have featured a number of retiring items on this card - Blushing Bride paper and ink, the beautiful lace border punch, and 2 stamp sets - Medallion and I {Heart} Hearts.

Stamping Vogue Tips:

• Try changing out the colors on this card to coordinate with the bride's colors.
• Or, change out the sentiment and use this as a Mother's Day card or a birthday card.

Retirement Parade Continues - 5-Petal Flower punch

My stamp club ladies know that I am a nut for punches. Largely, this is because I am lazy - too lazy to fussy cut much of anything. So punches are perfect for me. The coordinating punches and stamp sets are some of the many things I love about Stampin' Up! Today, I pay homage to one of the punches that is retiring at the end of the month - the 5-Petal Flower punch.


The sketch for my card comes from Sketch Frenzy Friday. I also played along with The Paper Players challenge this week. I chose diagonally - Flowers, My Choice (bling), and Designer Paper.

I'm continuing my posts of cards made with retiring stamp sets, paper, and accessories. Today, I played along with two different challenges - Clean and Simple sketch challenge and the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge.

Three Little Words was one of the first stamp sets I purchased when I began stamping. When I pulled it out to make today's card, it reminded me why I bought it - the versatility of the sentiments.
