Easy 15 Minute Wedding Card


Today's card is one of the choices at my Card Buffet event coming up on Sunday. The black and white color scheme is elegant enough for any wedding but this design could easily be customized to use the bride's wedding colors. Best of all, you can whip this card up in 15 minutes or less.

This card is one of 12 different designs available this Sunday's stamping event. Click here for more details and to RSVP!


Stamping Vogue Tips:
  • Let the Big Shot do the work by die-cutting and embossing the white layer.
  • Punches also make this card quick and easy - no careful alignment of the stamping needed. Just stamp, then punch for perfect results every time.
  • Add classic embellishments to this elegant card with satin ribbon and a carefully placed, single rhinestone.

  • Stamp Sets - Word Play (W 120308, C 120651)

Delicate Doilies and Flirtatious Paper

This feminine card is one of the projects from my Stamp Club workshop last week. The Delicate Doilies stamp set and the Flirtatious designer series paper are made for one another. I love being able to snip a single doily from the 12x12 sheet and use it in a design. So easy and beautiful!




To form the card base, I used the instructions from Splitcoast Stampers for the Center Fold Card and the measurements from Diane (cookiestamper) to make it in an A2 (4-1/4"x5-1/2") size. This size will fit in a medium Stampin' Up envelope so it is easy to send to someone special!

Graduation Time

It's graduation time of year and I have several family members and neighbors graduating this May and June. This card is for my neighbor, Kevin. His party is this weekend but I am going ahead and posting his card now. I am pretty sure he doesn't read my blog!

The card sketch is from The Paper Players challenge 48.


Here is the inside of the card. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Stamping Vogue Tips:
  • Use the grad's school colors to determine your color scheme. Good ole Duluth High School's colors are purple, black, and white but this card would be easy to shift to another color scheme.
  • Embossing a layer adds interest but keeps the card in a masculine vibe.
  • Stamp off the globe image once to make a nice background for the bold sentiment.
  • Stamp the sentiment again in Concord Crush. Cut out and pop up the arrow to tie your color scheme together.
  • The cardstock arrows rotate so the grad can make them go any direction he chooses.
