My weekend just past was quite a BIG one with 48 hours of baby-sitting my 2 youngest grandsons, while their Mum was Matron of Honour for her little sister, at a beautiful country-style wedding. It was wonderful to see Mel & Steve finally tie the knot, and although I wasn't able to attend the reception, due to my Grandma duties, the the boys and I were able to attend their aunty's wedding ceremony.
Wonderful Romance was my first pick for this special card and with a matching framelit, makes it a breeze to create a layered card.
This framelit is possibly going to run out before the end of the Occasions Catalogue it is featured in, due to supply issues with a few of the latest dies, so if you love it too, I wouldn't put off ordering. And ... order it as a bundle with the stamp for 10% discount off both. You will only be $2 off qualifying for a SALE-A-Bration item too, and I'm sure you need a pack of Dimensionals or liquid glue to be able to choose one of the free stamps, ribbon packs or a pack of DSP (patterned paper).
I had only just received one of the later SALE-A-Bration picks, All Adorned, and I thought the corner stamp was awesome.
The Stamparatus was a great help in placing it into the corners, although on a rectangular card front you can only stamp the 2 corners diagonally opposite before repositioning the stamp. With a square front, all 4 can be stamped without changing anything.
It seemed a good idea to keep on with the theme and stamp the inside corners and the envelope too. Never send a naked envelope, especially when you are hand-delivering!!! The colouring with Stampin' Blends was quite basic, sometimes that just lets the image do the work.
The sentiments are from my favourite go-to for sentiments, Beautiful Bouquet. This is a photopolymer stamp so you can see where you are placing the words. It has verses for weddings, friendship, sympathy and birthday, making it a well-used set. My son didn't particularly like this verse I chose for his sister-in-law, there was another possibility in the stamp set, but I thought this was lovely.
Here is a little sneak peek at my lovely boys. Can you believe that curly-haired cherub woke his grandparents every hour, until at 2 a.m. Pop gave in and slept on a bed with him. He spent the night stroking and poking his grandfather until I rose to give the breakfast bottle at 6 a.m. We are still getting over it, even after an early night last night!!!
If you choose to use the online shop to order, you will be asked for a Host Code, which groups the month's orders like a party, so I can pass on a gift to you. Orders can also be placed by contacting me direct and can be paid for with cash or credit card.
