Wedding invitations

Today I would like to share an old favorite. This is the wedding invitation I made for a dear friend a few years ago.

Her colors matched some retired CTMH cardstock, in the colors of Ocean, Watermelon, and Orange. I used the Ocean paper for the invitations.

The stamp set was a Verve stamp set, I believe. 

The verse on the front of the card was heat embossed. In order to get the Ocean colored embossed look, I first inked the stamp with Ocean ink, then again with Versamark ink,stamped, then added clear embossing powder to the top. Voila! Custom colored embossing!This technique did stain my Versamark ink, so be aware of that. The inside of the card was also hand embossed. I ordered a custom stamp from Simon Stamps, with the information about the wedding. The top portion of the inside had an RSVP card printed on Ocean cardstock, and attached with silver photo corners. These were postcard sized, and included a stamp and addres label on the front for ease of mailling. 

You can see some of the embossed information as well as the RSVP card in this photo.

The wedding was beautiful, and I am so glad to have been given the chance to make custom invitations for a good friend. Thanks for visiting the blog today!

Todays cut is the tall box. I have made a ton of these in the past, with directions I found on splitcoast stampers. I have to say, the cricut doing all of the cutting work is SO much easier! I know there are a lot more of these boxes in my future.

Whew! I finally have a new post to show you. The last few days have been super crazy around here.

Today I decided to make the cute little box on page 52 of the handbook. It is 3 1/2 inches tall, by 4 1/2 inches wide when cut at fit to page. 

I made a little box for our next beach trip, which won't be until next summer. :( Sometimes living in landlocked Oklahoma isn't all it is cracked up to be, LOL. 

I made note cards to go into the box, white daisy cardstock cut at 3 1/4 by 4 1/4. I stamped each one with different sea creatures. On our next vacation involving a beach, I will have my family write down favorite memories from each day, and use them for journaling when I scrapbook the pictures.

Today's cut is the Christmas tree boxes on page 53 of the handbook. These boxes are so simple to assemble, I would like to make several for my mantle this Christmas. 

I added a tag cut with Art Philosophy, and a few bitty sparkles. This entire project took less than half an hour to assemble, which is always nice. :)
