Wedding card and mini photo album

I made this for a friend's wedding to compliment her bridesmaid's colour scheme. 

I made a 7" x 5" mini photo album, matching card and little bag of journalling labels and mini cut out hearts and flowers.
















The album was made using old patterned paper I had lying around and had three double page spreads, so just enough to add 6 photos sized 6" x 4". I rounded the corners on the edges and tied it up with ribbon to make it a bit more feminine.



The card was made using the same design as the album and was finished off with white organza ribbon underneath the label.  Flowers were added to the corners and the customary pearls added to the flowers and label.






This little bag of wonders were just scraps I had left over.  I cut out some matching journaling cards, and little flowers & hearts to match.


Supplies used were:  Apothecary stamp set, Framelits Labels Collections dies, Itty Bitty Accents punches, Blackberry Bliss ribbon and white Organza ribbon.

Stunning Stampers first meet!

I held the very first Stunning Stampers club workshop last night, and had a fab time. 

We made a small selection of greetings cards with retiring stock designer series paper, and I think they look stunning.

The basic design for each card was the same, with squares cut from cardstock (Crisp Canteloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight) and designer series paper.  For this I used the postage stamp and 1" square punches. 

The tiny flowers, hearts and stars were punched using the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack.  I added  a bit of bling with rhinestones and pearls.

The greeting was made with the Label Love stamp set, and cut out with the Artisan Label punch.  These were stuck on with dimensionals to add depth.
