Getting Started Challenge – Bride & Groom 3-28-14

Getting Started - Bride and GroomAnother in my Getting Started Challenge.  Stampin’ Up! has border punches and Edgelits to make beautiful borders, but the challenge uses minimal supplies.  I used the Decorative Label Punch to create this border.

I also show how to stamp just part of the greeting with either a marker or a stamp pad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting Started - Bride and Groom openThis card works well as a gift card holder.  Just cut a slit and finish the ends of the slit with a hole punch.  There is still room for signing the card!

Getting Started Sample – Bride and Groom

Loving Thoughts Wedding Gift Card Holder

Loving Thoughts Wedding 3-8-14This card looks really quite elegant in Elegant Eggplant, but it would look just as wonderful in so many other colors like Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Garden Green, and Rich Razzleberry, just to name a few.  Change out the greeting and it would make a great birthday or thank you card.  In red or green it make a wonderful Christmas card.

 

A quick slit turns this card into a gift card holder.  How easy is that?

So quick and so elegant!  The Tag Topper Punch makes them quick and easy.  We used the same gold embossing powder, gold foil, sequins, and Washi Tape on all of them, but everyone made them in different colors of card stock.  They all looked great!  I think they would look great in Real Red or really any dark color.  I can see making hundreds of these for wedding or party favors.

 

The Night of Navy sample has a wider bottom and they fit a Hershey’s Nuggets just right.  Even better, the ones with Almonds come in a matching gold wrapper!

The Envelope Punch Board makes the box easily.  We lined it with the same Designer Series Paper.  It’s just the right size for a gift card, but we put 3 chocolate hearts inside.  The Spiral Flower Die helps make this 3-D flower pretty easily.  It’s not something you could pop in the mail, but it makes a gorgeous gift to hand to a friend.
