A few months ago I made some wedding invitations for my husbands colleague and friend from his work. Ana & James wanted something very simple and gave me a brief which consisted of a image and the colours blue & pink. I prepared 3 very different designs for them and they chose the design which you can see featured in this post today.
I made a flat, two sided design with the key details of the day printed on the front in Whisper White cardstock and a fun poem printed on the back. I mounted this onto a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock and Night of Navy cardstock.
To present the invitations, I tied some Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the envelopes and made a simple tag using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch using Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the most perfect sentiment from the For The New Two stamp set "Wishing you both a very special day" in Staz On Black ink. Finally, I added a jewelled embellishment that I had left over from the Spring Summer catalogue, to complete this classic look.
Naturally I didn't want to showcase this project until after Ana & James wedding. I hope they both had a magical day. Both myself and my husband Phil wish them all the very best for the future.
Happy Haunting Halloween Party Invitations using Stampin' Up! Products
Wednesday, September 30, 2015
The dark nights are settling in now and soon the winter coats & scarfs will be coming out. I love our seasons and whilst I am sad that summer is well and truly over, I am looking forward to Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas!
With Halloween just over a month away, I decided to make some Halloween Invitations. I'm not having a party but I wanted an excuse to make some Halloween Cards. Here in the UK we don't give cards at Halloween but I still wanted to make some so I thought I could make the cards invitations instead.
I added a strip of Black Glimmer Paper to the bottom of the card and added You're Invited using the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set and the Word Window Punch.
The designs are so great they really don't need much adding to them. I love the bats, ghosts & spider patterned paper I've used in these cards but there are some other great patterns in the pack of paper such as the gravestones & crows and the Tangerine Tango stripes.
In each pack of Happy Haunting DSP, you get 12 sheets of 12" x 12" paper. The pack includes 2 sheets of each of the 6 double side designs and it only costs £10.00!
You can also buy a pack of coordinating cardstock for £6.50 which contains 24 A4 sheets of cardstock. 8 sheets each of Basic Black, Tangelo Twist, Very Vanilla.
There are so many projects you can make with this DSP. Above are some ideas the creative gurus at Stampin' Up! have featured in the Autumn Winter Catalogue. If you would like a catalogue, please let me know by sending an email to info@handmadebykim.co.uk.
These cute cards are perfect to use either for a children's birthday party invitation.... or with a change of sentiment, they would make a lovely birthday card.
I love the vibrant colours in the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper so I matched my cardstock and ink to the paper using Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay as the main colours.
I used the fab Zoo Babies stamp set for the image on the front and images inside the card. These animal stamps are so cute and I can't wait to use this set for another project.
The great news is that the Zoo Babies set is carrying over to the next catalogue but unfortunately the Sweet Taffy Designer Series paper is retiring and is sold out already.
You can place an order for anything that you need to stock up on before it sells out by clicking here or by visiting my online shop.
