For The Newlyweds

Hello!  My family will travel to Charleston, South Carolina soon for my brother-in-law's wedding.  We are excited to see the city.  Well, I am, anyway!  My kids are happy just to have several days off from school.  ;)  The happy couple have many events planned for us all and the reception itself is in the Aquarium.  Can't wait!

This is the card I made for them:

And here's the how-to:

• Make a card base.
• Make a slightly smaller layer to fit on base (my layer is 5" x 3 3/4").
• Arrange four equal-size rectangles of embossed cardstock pieces on layer with tape runner (I used Perfect Polka Dots [SU] and Textile [Cuttlebug] embossing folders).
• Use Big Shot and Lattice Bigz Die to make one die-cut.
• Use Big Shot and Sizzlits Lots of Tags to create tag.
• Stamp sentiment on tag.
• Make 2 opposing slots in tag using Horizontal Slot punch (SU) and place dimensionals on back.
• Run a piece of satin ribbon through the tag, then through the Lattice die cut. 
• Secure ribbon on back of cardstock layer with Sticky Strip or glue or Scotch tape; anything with a stronger adhesive.
• Adhere layer with dimensionals to card base.
• Finish with pearls.

That looks like a lot of steps and a lot of work, but TRUST me -- it wasn't at all difficult.  Just ask me if you have any questions about it.

I'm entering Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 89 - to focus on the sentiment.

Gotta run.  My 9 YO is having her Halloween Parade at school today.  During her lunch hour, I need to feed and costume her.   It's a whirlwind of an hour!

Thanks for joining me today.  I really appreciate it!

Happy Stamping,

Colleen
