Bridal Shower Invitations

Front

My sister got married January 4, 2014.  As matron of honor I wanted to throw her a bridal shower since she did such a lovely job when I got married.  I knew this dress was going to be perfect to use.  Her colors were black, gray with accents of silver and red.  I did this as a postcard style with the shower details on the back and a matching envelope.  Even though I had to make 64 invites, I really did enjoy creating these in honor of my sister!

Stampin' Up! Color Challenge

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator there are a lot of groups online that you can join and get inspiration from.  I am apart of PROVERBial Stampers on Facebook which is a group of demonstrators in the PA area.  They provide us with a monthly color and sketch challenge.  I participated in the color challenge below.

I just loved these colors and was looking forward to creating a card with them.  Here's what I made.

This card was also going to be used in a demonstrator swap that I was participating in using any new stamp set from the 2014 Occasions catalog.  I just love this new Love You to the Moon set.


It's also our biggest sale of the year called Sale-a-bration.  For every $50 you spend you receive a FREE product.  I used the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder that I think goes perfectly with this stamp set.  I'd love to hear what you think of this card and the colors.
