Wedding Card with Banners for You

The two large diecut hearts on this card give this wedding card a clean simple look.

Despite the layers and glitz, it really is simple -  there's only 6 parts to glue onto the card.

The diecut hearts are part of the Be Mine Thinlets set.  I worry a bit when you have a large piece like that darker heart that it looks too plain.  The rhinestones help add some sparkle and interest.  But the thing I like best is the stitching around the heart.  That's what makes this die set so special.

What do you think of the banner? Its the perfect sentiment for a wedding.  I love how it looks like a flag blowing in the wind or a cloth banner draped over the wedding table.  

There are several different banner shapes to choose from in the  die set. Think of what you could do with your sentiment sets using this set of 5 banner dies.  The variety of shapes and sizes makes this a really versatile die set. 

Stampin'UP! also offers a coordinating sentiment set.  See how some of the words are actually curved to fit in the banners.  This is so cool!

To give my sentiment some visual "pop" on this wedding card, I heat embossed in white on black cardstock.

This card really is very easy once you have the banner prepared.  Of course you need the supplies. Most of these are very basic supplies.  I consider a heat embossing tool and white embossing powder to be staples in my craft room. Same with a good supply of glimmer papers, rhinestones and nested heart dies.  Weddings are not the only occasions where you'd want hearts.

The banners on this card are unique, but they're sized to work with lots of different sentiments and you might consider adding this banner dies set to your stock of staples items. Product list with order number is at the end of the post.

Meant to Be Wedding Card

Here is an elegant yet simple wedding card with a heartfelt sentiment for the happy couple:  "Meant to Be"

Simplicity is one descriptor for this card.  It's simple visually so the imagery does not distract from the sentiment it carries.  And its simple to make: 3 hearts layered up , a stamped sentiment and some ribbon.

Elegant is another descriptor. Several things contribute to the elegant look; one is the high contrast between the colors.  Another is the sparkle and shine from the white glimmer paper heart and the gold embossing on the small black heart.  And of course . . . rhinestones!  A full product list is at the end of the post.

Achieving this look is easy as long as you have the right tools.  You can certainly cut the hearts free-hand, but you get a much more professional look when you use dies. Which means you need a die-cutting machine.  These hearts from from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits die set which coordinates with the Meant to Be stamp set. 

If you don't already have a set of nesting heart dies I'd encourage you to consider this die set. There's a nice variety of shapes as well as sizes.

On the card, can you see that on the pink heart the edge has a stitched look?  That stitched edging was done by the die.

And while the catalog description says there are "19" dies in this set, the reality is that you get an additional 21 little hearts when you stamp that heart lattice piece.

That's a nice bonus if you are making a bunch of cards that all need little hearts.

Both of these products can be purchased individually, but now through May 2019 these products can be purchased as a bundle for a 10% savings.

I hope you've been inspired to head to the craft room and play.  Or at least to take inventory of your dies.  And if you need any craft supplies I hope I've inspired you to browse the Stampin'UP! Product Line. Your business is appreciated.

Triangle Kiss Container Makes a Cute Wedding Favor

How cute would this look sitting by each guest's place at the table? What big event do you have coming up?  Wedding? Bridal Shower?  These are so easy to make, no trouble at all for a big event.

The actual construction of the favor is very quick and simple to make.

After construction you'll need to decorate one panel that measures 3" by 1.25".  

I added some pizzazz by die cutting the word from black foil paper and layering it on a strip of glimmer paper.  Foil paper and glimmer paper are 2 easy ways to get your projects noticed.  Product links are at the end of the post.

The reason for the 3" length is because each Hershey's Kiss is a little less than 1" diameter 

and this favor holds 3 Kisses.

You can see from the pictures how easy it is to make these candy kiss treats. Think beyond weddings These could even be decorated for a Baby Shower or anniversary party. This triangle kiss holder would work for any time you want to show your guests a little "love". Or heck, just drop one of these favors off on a co-worker's desk.

I hope I've inspired you to try this "sweet" project. I'm happy to answer questions about this or any other project you're working on. And if you need any product check the links below.
