Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights - Top Ten Winners Blog Hop - Theme: Wedding

 

I'm so excited (and at the same time humbled) to be taking part in this very special blog hop as one of the Top Ten winners from last month's Get Well themed International Project Highlights run by Kylie Bertucci.  The theme for this blog hop is also Wedding.

I would like to just say a big "thank you" to everybody who voted for my card, thereby providing me with this wonderful opportunity to be part of a blog hop with some of my stamping heroes! 

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer,  or you may have come from the person before me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you to move along from blog to blog so that you see all of the projects.

I thought I'd have a go at producing a wedding invitation with matching Save the Date and Place Names for the marriage of the legendary Jane Doe to Joe Blogs!

The closed invitation

I used the retiring colour Mint Macaron, mainly because I have plenty of it!  I teamed it with Very Vanilla and Blushing Bride (an appropriate colour, I thought) for a soft and pretty bridal combination.   The stars of the entire show are the Bloomin' Heart thinlits and matching Bloomin' Love stamp set.

I layered the die cuts to provide strength and depth

  

The retiring Designer Series Paper Falling in Love also makes an apearance

The little pouch at the bottom of the invitation holds two cards: one for the RSVP and one giving details of the couple's wedding website.  I added a few decorations to that section although I had toyed with the idea of placing a map there.

The fully opened invitation from John Doe to the wedding of his daughter, Jane, to Joe Bloggs

 

The Save the Date card has a magnet on the back so that it can be placed on the fridge as a reminder

For someone who, from 9 years old, was forced to write all their homework and also weekly letters home in Italic, my calligraphy is surprisingly poor!

Kylie's International Highlights Top Ten Blog Hop - Get Well Soon

 

I'm so excited (and at the same time humbled) to be taking part in this very special blog hop as one of the Top Ten winners from last month's Get Well themed International Project Highlights run by Kylie Bertucci.  The theme for this blog hop is also Get Well.

I would like to just say a big "thank you" to everybody who voted for my card, thereby providing me with this wonderful opportunity.

A little bit of humour to cheer up a sick friend!

I think this quirky shaker card is suitable for any age group, male or female and so it will sit in my stash of cards (hopefully for a long time) until it's needed.

I've realised that, since this is an international blog hop, some of you may be scratching your head in bewilderment at the moment!  So, just in case, I should explain that if we contract a virus we will often say "I've caught the bug" or "I have a bug".  This card is a play on words and "shake" also means "to rid oneself of".

The bug is stamped, coloured and hand cut.  The lid is heat embossed in gold.  The shadow under the jar is from the Beautiful You stamp set and the splodges are from the Timeless Textures stamp set.

I created the greeting with the Brushwork Alphabet set.

The bug shakes around in the jar

I cut the layers to size and then cut the jar from the top layer with an Everyday Jars framelit.  Positioning the top layer over the Whisper White layer beneath, I stamped the matching jar from the Jar of Love stamp set into the cut out space so that I knew it would line up.

Using Fast Fuse, I stuck a piece of Window Sheet to the back of the cut out and then carefully stuck Foam Adhesive Strips around the edge of the cut out and then around the edge of the layer.

I placed the bug on top of the stamped jar and then carefully lowered the top layer to adhere it.

Tip: stamp the top layer before adding the foam strips.
