Wedding Inspiration

Hello again, friends!  Today I have two wedding cards to share made with some of the new stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs released this month.

Creative Nugget:  First is this beautiful cake from the Long Lasting Love stamp set.  One of the elegant papers from the Wedding Wishes Collection was stitched to the card base. The Scalloped Chain die cut was cut to fit behind a frame made with Rectangle and Pierced Rectangle Dies.  The cake was stamped and colored with Copic Markers on a Pierced Oval and matted to a Layered Lacey Oval.  The sentiment was white embossed on a banner cut with a Pennant Flag Die.  A few pearls were added to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  The heart topiary from the Happy Wedding Day stamp set was white embossed on linen, the sentiment white embossed on a vellum banner, and the floral embellishment added to this white and linen card.  One of the sentiments was lightly and randomly stamped on the background and prills were used on the center of the flower and to scatter around the card. The dies used include Rectangle and Pierced Rectangle Dies, a Pennant Flag Die, the Rose Dies, Rose Leaves, and a Fancy Foliage Die.

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

My first sample was made using the new Happy Wedding Day stamp set and papers from the beautiful Wedding Wishes Collection. 

Creative Nugget:  A piece of Tulle was wrapped around paper from the Wedding Wishes Collection and the Scalloped Chain die cut was adhered over top to form the base of the card.  Two other pieces of paper from the same collection were cut with the Leafy Edged Border Die.  The topiary from the Happy Wedding Day stamp set was colored with Copic Markers and cut with the matching Heart Topiary Die and mounted to a frame cut with an Ovals Die and a Layered Lacey Ovals Die.  The sentiment was embossed on the Pennant Flag die cut and the two little love birds were mounted on each end of the sentiment.  A silver bow and some bitty sparkles were added to finish the card.

My second sample uses the new Happily Ever After stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  Papers from the Wedding Wishes Collection were cut with the Pierced Rectangles Die and stitched together for the first layer of the card.  The wonderful new Scalloped Chain Die was used to cut Linen card stock for the second layer. The third layer is a banner cut on one end with a Layering Heart Die.  A Layered Lacey Oval Die, an Ovals Die, and a Pierced Ovals die were used to make a frame for the gold embossed sentiment from the Happily Ever After stamp set.  A Pennant Flag Die and the Small Bow Dies were used to create a bow accent to finish the card.

A matching Surprise Box was created with the Surprise Box Die, the new Mr. & Mrs. Word Die, a sentiment from the Long Lasting Love stamp set, and other previously released dies listed below.

Follow Your Heart

Hello friends!  All of this rain and cloudy weather is perfect for getting in some stamping time.  Today I have a sneak peek of some new stamps and dies being released tomorrow by Our Daily Bread designs using the sketch today on Splitcoaststampers.

Creative Nugget:  A piece of mixed media paper was watercolored with distress and oxide inks and cut with the new Scalloped Chain Die.  The same die was used to cut a white panel which was adhered to a gray piece of card stock.  The watercolored pieces were then randomly popped back into the die to create the background.  The images from the Happy Wedding Day set were colored with Copic Markers and cut with matching dies before popping them onto paper from the Wedding Wishes Collection.  The sentiment was white embossed on a vellum Pennant Flag die cut.

This card will also be submitted for the following challenges:
