Wedding Sweet stamp set

Some of you may recall the Wedding Sweet Invitations I shared with you during a blog tour a couple months back.  It turns out that I was asked to make this design for a family member’s wedding.

The tricky part is that approximately 40 of the invitations need to be mailed overseas.  So we’ve come up with a simple variation for the overseas invitations, they will not have ribbon, simply a strip of Bashful Blue cardstock making them simple and light.

I thought I’d share these with you as a sample of how projects can be changed up to fit certain circumstances.  I’m also showing them because if I’m not stamping the Vintage Vogue cards I showed you yesterday, I’m stamping these.  I found out today that I need to have 40 of them made, mailed and in New York by Saturday of this week.  Think I can get everything done?  I’m starting to wonder if my sanity will hold through the week!  Anyone want to help?

A rose is a Rose stamp set

Welcome to the last day of the blog tour!  Today’s set of wedding stationary was made using the stamp set called A Rose is a Rose which is a 2-step stamping set.  Two step stamping can be so much fun and gives so much dimension to your stamped image.

Wedding Invitation

Here’s is the wedding invitation.  It’s very simple in style but does take a little work to stamp each individual leaf and flower (twice).  The colors I used are Bravo Burgundy, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke.

Wedding Response Card

For this response card I printed the wording in the upper right corner so there would be plenty of room to stamp the roses.

Wedding Place Card

Keeping with the simple style I used the rose bud stamps only for the place card.  These would have been some huge place cards if I tried to use the full rose!

Wedding Note Cards

Here are the note cards I made to match the rest of the stationary.  I decided to make the card without any sentiment, that would allow it to be used as communication to wedding attendants, shower thank yous, wedding thank yous and more.

Wedding Favor Box

Here is the matching favor.  It is much like yesterdays, I just didn’t stamp on the box.

This blog tour was a bit of a challenge for me.  Normally I get the items made just hours before posting them each day.  This time, however, I had to work ahead and get everything done be Wednesday afternoon so I could go out of town.  Whew!   (I said all that to let you know why there wasn’t a whole lot of variety in the favor designs.)

I hope you have enjoyed the blog tour!  Your comments have been so sweet!  Please don’t forget to go visit Jannette Shaw as your next stop on the tour!

Wedding Stationary Set

Welcome to day 2 of the Special Occasions Blog Tour!  I want to share another Wedding Invitation and corresponding wedding stationary.  You’ll notice that I’m using Very Vanilla again for this set.  There are two reasons for this, first because I have a bride that wants Very Vanilla and second, because it’s a little easier for me to photograph than white.  Naturally, all of the items I’m showing you could very easily be changed to Whisper White and the other colors could easily be changed as well.

Do it yourself wedding invitation

Once again the wedding invitation is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ but this time I turned it around for the fun of it.  The stamp set I used is Wedding Sweet.

Wedding Response Card

The response card is much the same as the invitation, just smaller and I used the smaller stamp out of the same stamp set.  Don’t you just love that Very Vanilla satin ribbon?

Wedding Place Cards

Aren’t these place cards adorable?  If only I’d known about Stampin’ Up! and all the lovely things you can make eight years ago (well, 8 years on the 25th).  I could have had such beautiful handmade wedding decorations!

Wedding Favor

I’m afraid I didn’t have as much time to spend on designing favors as I would have liked.  This box is made like the one I shared yesterday, however, this time I made the flower from our Scallop Circle Punch and cut the leaves from Little Leaves die and the Big Shot.

Sour Cream Favor

I did have a chance to make this little sour cream container up.  These are very easy to make and then they can be filled with little dinner mints or M&Ms or whatever suits your fancy.  I used the “Mr. & Mrs.” stamp from the All Holidays stamp set to decorate the edges.

Wedding Thank You Note

Lastly, we have the Thank You card to match the other stationary.  “Thank you” is from the Fresh Cuts stamp set.

So, do you like this set or yesterday’s set better?    Yesterdays was my personal favorite but I think this set is very soft and elegant.    I hope you’ll check back again tomorrow for my next set, yet again it’s in different colors and with a different stamp set.  Thank you for the comments left – I love to read them!
