The Forever Blossoms stamp set and bundle are found on page 16 of the Mini catalog and are part of the gorgeous Parisian Blossoms Suite.

I wanted to make a sweet card for a wedding, and this suite (see what I did there?) is perfect!

My original idea was to cover the entire front with the Parisian Flourish embossed panel, but then I had the problem of the greeting kind of getting lost. I chopped off part so the Flirty Flamingo base showed and heat embossed the greeting in white.

But THEN it looked kind of ... choppy ... with a harsh edge. So I trimmed off a bit more and added a Delicate Lace die cut edge. That did the trick!

And, of course I had to emboss the envelope flap to match! I love the the Spring feel, and Punxutawney Phil predicts an early Spring this year, yay!

Up next is Jay Soriano, at Mitosu Crafts.

Celebration Time Swaps

The idea for this card came to me as I was falling asleep, and I actually remembered it when I woke up! This was made for the Control Freaks Stampers swap, which we do two or three times a year. I thought since it was June (when I made it), and June is the big month for weddings, that a wedding congratulation card would be lovely. If course, you could use the Happy Birthday cake image and make it completely different.

Lots of layers on this card, just like the layered cake, and there is even a layer from the Layered Leaves Dynamic folder! (A little alliteration, anyone?)

The cake was heat embossed in silver and die cut, then the bottom half of the die was used again on a Silver Foil sheet to make the cake stand. The bottom of the cake was trimmed and glued to the cake stand. It was then popped up on dimensionals, as was the greeting (from Best Birds).

Flirty Flowers and a Challenge

I made this card for the Global Design Project Challenge #090, which is a sketch this week, except I did a mirror image of the sketch:

Flirty Flowers was another stamp set that called my name, and when I saw the little flower and the greeting, I immediately thought "Wedding card!"

I adore the background leaves! That's another new Dynamic T.I.E.F. called Layered Leaves. My post yesterday gave some hints on using these deep-impression embossing folders. They are awesome!
