Addicted to Stamps and More! ~ Challenge #499

 The next challenge up in our rotation at Addicted to Stamps and More! is


I had the perfect opportunity to create a "wedding card" for a co-worker. It certainly would qualify as ANY OCCASION. Of course, the pressure was on to create a special card. Here's what I came up with.


I started with a Spellbinders' embossing folder, Hydrangea Blooms, EOM - Feb 23. I'm glad that the embossing folders are quite large, as my mission was to create as large a card as I could so that the co-workers could sign it. I made my card 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". I cut a piece of vellum to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and embossed it with the folder. I was able to adhere the vellum with a mini dot roller to the white cardbase. I then die cut the hearts and heart outlines using white shimmer cardstock and  a Stamp Market A bit of Everything die that I received as part of my kit for Scrapbook & Cards Today's Crop & Create Delivered October 2021 event. You might be able to see the shimmer in this photo.


For the sentiment, I heat embossed with silver powder using Simon Says STAMP's Handwritten Greetings stamp set on light gray cardstock which I trimmed to a rectangle. I glued the hearts and heart outlines, as well as the sentiment strip to the vellum. To complete the card, I added some rhinestones for a bit of sparkle. 

We look forward to seeing your ANY OCCASION card in our gallery.
