Your Perfect Day Wedding Card

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a color challenge of Strawberry Slush, Hello Honey and Night of Navy.  I recently purchased the “Your Perfect Day” stamp set and thought these colors would be perfect for a modern wedding card.

I stamped the wreath with Night of Navy but stamped off first so the image would be a lighter shade.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark then embossed with Sterling Silver embossing powder.  I stamped the flowers in Hello Honey and Strawberry Slush.  I also used the small flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  I embellished the bottom of the card with a border from the Finishing Touches Edgelits and Venetian Crochet Trim and small Vintage Faceted button.

Forever & Always Window Sheet Wedding Card

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

On June 1st the NEW Stampin’ Up! catalog was launched!!  So many beautiful stamps, colors, accessories and ideas!  My card for today was inspired by one of the beautiful cards found in the catalog.  Since this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a color challenge -Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Neutral I was inspired by a card made with clear window sheets.  Using window sheets adds so much punch to cards.  Any element on the window sheet looks like it’s floating.

I cut the window sheet 5″ x 10″ then scored in the middle.  I also used the square scallop die to die cut the scallop layer.  I used one of the images from Apothecary Art and colored the image with Stampin’ Up! marker, Daffodil Delight and die cut using the Framelits die.  The sentiment from Loving Thoughts was stamped in Basic Gray on the Daffodil Delight polka dot DSP printed from My Digital Studio.  The cute flowers were punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and Boho Punch.  The centers for the flower are the 3/16″ Daffodil Delight brads.  To neatly adhere the layers and flowers to the window sheet I used mini glue dots.

Vintage Wedding Card

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

Something borrowed, something blue.  Springtime is the perfect time for a wedding.  For this week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a wedding project challenge.  My card was inspired by the stamp set Established Elegance.  I selected for my blue shade – Pool Party.  Love, love, love this color!  I paired it with Certainly Celery for a fresh spring feel.  To add to the vintage style, after stamping the images I sprayed the scallop circle and Pool Party layers with water then crumpled them.  I also used my Color Spritzer to lightly spray the frame and sentiment layer with Early Espresso.

I have included a close up of the card below.  I used non-Stampin’ Up! white tulle around the bust form.  I added the pearls for an elegant touch.

Elegant Wedding Card

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week I was inspired to use a stamp set that I purchased but haven’t used. It’s the new Delicate Doilies stamp set featured in the Idea Book and Catalog. I love the versatility of this stamp set.  You can use this stamp set for almost any occasion.  This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a Clean and Simple Challenge.  I created a card for a wedding.  I inked my doily stamp with Versamark and Basic Black ink then embossed it with Iridescent Embossing Powder then added Basic Rhinestones.  I also embossed the sentiment with Iridescent Embossing powder and added a small rhinestone to the ring.  So easy!  Click on the card image to see more details.
