Forever Fern Stamp Set by Stampin'UP Makes A Wedding Card in a Pinch!


 I have MANY stamp sets, but nothing too wedding-ish unfortunately!  Anyway, I made do with the Forever Fern set on todays' creation.  The sentiment above that comes with all the foliage images was just perfect for my needs I think.

Besides the Forever Fern set, I used the Bough Punch.  The yellow flowers come from the Teacup Die set.  I added some Rustic Metallic Dots to those tiny flowers as well.

Gatefold Fun Fold x 2 Christmas Cards made from StampinUP Products

 

 I had a recent Fun Fold Class at my home and here are 2 of the cards from that event.  There are several items that were used on both designs, so I will start with those:

--Painted Christmas Designer Paper

--Christmas Season Stamp Set

--Seasonal Labels Dies

--Stitched Rectangle Dies

 

My colors for this design include:  Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, White, Evening Evergreen

For this card, I also used Evening Evergreen Ribbon, In Color Opal Rounds, and Wink of Stella.


An inside view with card opened up.  The same sentiment was used for the inside of both cards.  That can be found on pg. 68 in the Holiday Mini (Very Best Occasions).



This version used the following SU Colors:  Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green & White.

I used the White Seam Binding Ribbon and "dyed" it with a Real Red Stampin' Blend.  3 of the Rustic Metallic Dots were used.  The Merry Christmas on the front of both cards came from a retired set called Teeny Tiny Wishes!!  Who remembers that "oldie but goodie" ?  I still have it in my stash obviously, and use it from time to time when my card calls for a "teeny tiny" word.  LOL


The inside of this version.  Please notice the square is on a different side of the card for each one.  Does not matter at all and just your personal preference.


MEASUREMENTS & SCORING:

Colored Card Base=  4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Sq Colored Pc. of Card Stock= 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Designer Paper= 5 1/4 x 12

(score DSP at 2, 4, 8, 10 inches)

All 4 corners of DSP were cut out at an angle.  Just measure down to 2 1/4 and then cut to the last score line.  (hope this makes sense but contact me with any questions)

Cottage Rose Stamp Set & Cottage Flowers Dies from StampinUP

 

In the Annual Catalog on pg. 57, you will find the featured stamp set & dies.  My color combo includes Pool Party, White, and Soft Sea Foam.

These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes were a free gift during Sale-A-Bration.  Unfortunately, they sold out VERY quickly but if you were fortunate enough to get a pkg., this might be a good idea for you to case.  Other flowers and dies would work just fine of course if you don't have the same ones I used.

I used Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Glossy Dots Assortment as well on this creation.  A Stampin' Blend was used to color the leaf image.

HAPPY STAMPING!!

--Rustic Metallic Dots




 Along with the featured designer paper, I used the Wonderful World Stamp Set as well.  Both the DSP and stamp set can be earned for free right now with a $100 purchase.

The Stylish Shapes Dies were used again (these are my fave as of late).  The Double Oval Punch helped on this creation too.  Embellishments include old olive ribbon and In Color Matte Dots.  The "thank you" comes from the Annual Catalog set called Shaded Summer.

StampinUP Kit Collection-- Celebrate Today Magnet Board (used leftover pcs. on 4 cards)

I added some ribbon & embellishments (and maybe die cuts) to complete these 3 alternate cards.  After I was done decorating my kit, I just had to play around with the extra pcs. and parts!
