Hello and welcome to my Blog and YouTube Channel today; is the 18th Episode of Saturday Simple Stamping. Wow, can you believe it! Since Spring is here and there are a ton of weddings that are going on or coming up I thought it would be a great time to do a wedding card. And since it's that time and there are so many new stampers out there I thought it was a perfect kind of card todo. Here's a look at my card.
Tips & Tricks:
I started out my card by using a piece of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 (so actually quarter sheet of cardstock). I then started stamping with first and second generation stamping for the large flowers using Petal Pink ink. Petal Pink seems to be my new go to color lately, I seem to go to it when I am not sure what to use. Petal Pink actually goes very well with So Saffron and Garden Green; which is why I picked those two colors.
I then stamped the smaller flowers in Petal Pink and the other flowers I used was So Saffron (stamped off once with the solid circle and then stamped full strength with the other stamp to create the daisy like flower.
I then cut down the card front to 4 x 5 1/4. Make sure that you save the long piece that you cut off so that you can add it to the inside of the card, this makes a great accent to tie the inside into the front. I then layered that onto a piece of Petal Pink Cardstock cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8. Then I added my ribbon. I designed the card using the Very Vanilla lace Trim to begin with but wasn't sure if I liked it or not so in the video I change to the Whisper White Dotted Tulle Trim. So leave me a comment on which one you prefer. I will draw a winner from all the comments on my YouTube Channel and here for a prize. You will need to live in the United States to be a winner due to Stampin' Up! policies. I will be giving away a roll of the Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon. I will announce the winner on Monday evening.

Thanks for dropping by for this weeks Simple Saturday Stamping Episode. Last week I didn't do a video for the card so encase you were wondering where it was I thought I would try something a little different. This also told me that you all love the videos and wanted to see them so I went back to the old format. You can find all the supplies in the Shopping List below; I would love to be your demonstrator and help your along your paper crafting journey.
Happy Stampin'
