‘Tis the Season

Tis the season…

For showers and weddings that is.

And you might know I love a good theme.

So when I received this invitation to our family friends’ shower, I thought it would be fun to repurpose some of it for the card I made.

I gently removed the lace bow and added it to the card I created with vanilla and kraft card stock, a tiny watercolor, and the SU artisan embellishment floral cutout.  A simple “love” sentiment was added from the SU Hello Life Stamp set.

I then continued the theme when wrapping the gift.

Charrie Wedding Shower Gift Wrap 1

Instead of wrapping with paper, I used burlap which can be repurposed and was from our son and daughter-in-law’s similarly-themed shower and rehearsal dinner.

I made a big bow with some new kitchen towels that were on the registry, stuffed in a couple wooden spoons (they go with the gift inside), and tied it all together with lace to match.

Off to the shower today to celebrate Charrie and Corey and wish them many years of love and happiness.

Cheers & Hugs,

Jodi

PS  I received a very sweet note and invitation from the HUGELY talented Leslie Mahon at InkPaperScissorsStamp.com to enter my card into The Paper Plunge #29 April Showers Challenge.  It is a less-known challenge that I am super happy to learn about and participate in.  For my card crafty friends – hope you will check it out.  If you have created a baby or wedding shower card, take the plunge and play along with us!

I made this card this week to send as a Sympathy Card to Aunt Francie as we said goodbye to her love, Tilford.  And I must thank Jenny @ Ramblings from a Mum for the beautiful words she shared that I had to pass on as the sentiment for this card.

For my stamping friends, the following is a list of StampinUp materials used to make this card:

Painted Petals Stamp Set, Blackberry Bliss & Mossy Meadow Ink, Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers, Spring Flowers Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, VersaMark Ink & White Embossing Powder, Artisan Embellishments (doily, ribbon, button accents) Watercolor Paper and Paint Brush for background watercolor effect and for splattering, Blackberry Bliss, Black, and Whisper White Card Stock.

Seems “Blackberry” is the theme this week 🙂

Cheers & Hugs,
