Wedding Card with a difference

So often we associate a wedding card with over-the-top bling and glitz, but sometimes the best ideas are right outside the box like this card.
It's subtle colours work with the understated elegance of the design.

Paul and I are getting married in September, and I am always interested in finding new ideas for our wedding decor. My colours are from the Falling in Love suite of DSP, so soft pink, grey, silver and baby blue will be some of the colours I am using to decorate our table and our suite in the hotel.

I have found some lovely ideas on Pinterest for photo signage and floral centrepieces, and am counting down the days till my sweetheart and I are husband and wife.

Life is good!
Have a great day,
Vicki x 💝

Sneak Peek! Eastern Palace Suite

Here is the first of the Sneak Peeks from the new catalogue, and it's all about medallions and very detailed thinlits dies.
It's called the Eastern Palace Suite, and comes with a whole swag of accessories, including these must-have tassels and gold vinyl stickers. Wow!
For a limited time, ( April 4-30) you will be able to choose from starter and premium bundles, suitable for both the beginner and avid crafter.

I am avidly awaiting my first glimpse of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue and have only a few more days to go before I can see it on the demonstrator website.
This time of year is when I go through all my current Stampin' Up! supplies and move the retiring items into a holding bay ready to sell off my pre-loved stamps and accessories to those lucky early birds who are keen to score a grab bag of discounted stamping goodness.

It is also an EXCELLENT time to have a really good clear out and de-clutter of my craft room, which I must say is looking packed to the gills with stuff LOL.

Have a marvellously creative day!

Vellum Glimmer Butterfly Card. New Catalogue. Stampin' Up! Australia

Sometimes a small card can pack a big punch. Bling, pearls, vellum and 4 different ink colours come together beautifully in this tiny gem, which was inspired by a sample on page 10 of the new Occasions Catalogue.
This  3 x 3 card has it's own little vellum envelope, created with one of the free products in the Sale-A Bration catalogue, Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack #141019.
The Number of Years Bundle #140811, and the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper #140550 are from the new Occasions Catalogue.
Ink colours used were Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Pool Party and Wild Wasabi.
The measurements for the vellum envelope (using the Envelope Punch Board) are, cut your vellum to 5/1/4" x 5 1/4" ( 13.3cm x 13.3cm), use one of the leftover pieces for your card, and your first score line is at 2 5/8" ( 6.7cm ).
