April Pals Hop!
Welcome to the April Pals Hop! This month we are featuring wedding and Mother's Day projects for your inspiration. I hope you enjoyed the projects from stop number 1, Carmen Sublasky's Creative Stamptuary. I'm stop number 2 on the Pals Hop and am glad you've stopped by!
I've created wedding projects for your enjoyment! Weddings are expensive enough and one way to keep the costs down is to make your own wedding favors. The stamp set Wedding Sweet is perfect for creating beautiful wedding projects. It's also available as a digital download for My Digital Studio if you'd like to create your own invitations!
The first favor project is called a "sour cream" container holding after-dinner mints. I used Vellum card stock to make the container and embossed the largest image form Wedding Sweet in a mixture of Silver, White and Dazzling Diamond Stampin' Emboss Powder. The Mr. & Mrs stamp is from Tiny Tags stamp set punched with the Jewelry Tag punch and all tied up with our beautiful Whisper White Organza Ribbon.
My second favor project is a matchbook cover holding lifesaver mints. The matchbook cover is Brushed Silver card stock stamped with Wedding Sweet and VersaMark. The Scallop Circle border was punched in Vellum card stock and embossed with the same mixture as the project above.Both projects are quick and easy to make and will wow your guests as well as your pocketbook!
That's it for me! I hope you enjoyed the projects and are inspired to try making your own favors for your next special occasion. It's time to hop over and see Stephanie Uzee's creations at her website, Stampin With Suzee. She's stop number 3 on the Pals Hop. Thanks for stopping by!
