Going to the Chapel & They're Gonna Get Married!!

2016 has been a big year for weddings in my family.  And all the fun events surrounding weddings mean lots of opportunities for papercrafting.  One night earlier this month, I sat down to make cards for several weddings and bridal showers -- not only for myself to give, but also for my mom and sisters.  Let's just say it was a marathon crafting night.  Here are the results -- all of which were produced in multiple quantities.

For the Bridal Showers...

And for one of the bride's at her maid-of-honor's request...

Oh, the Places You'll Go

That's one of the great things about CTMH's B&T paper packets -- they feature a nice variety of coordinating designs and colors that allow you to easily customize to your liking.  In my last post, I shared a graduation card with a more masculine feel.  Today I have a card with more of a feminine flair.  Either card could be tweaked for the graduate you have in mind simply by flipping over the B&T paper and using the other side or by selecting another B&T design from the paper pack.

For those of you who like to watch the card come together, I've posted a process video on my YouTube channel -- click here to watch.

Congratulations Graduate

The end of the school year means lots of graduations -- and graduations mean lots of opportunities to celebrate and make/give cards.  When I saw the new Smarty Pants stamp set in the new Seasonal Expressions 2, I had to have it.  It is perfect for graduation, but also great for bon voyage, retirement, inspiration, and school projects.  Isn't this set fabulous??
