It's a Nice Day . . . For a White Wedding!

Do I have you singing along to Billy Idol's song White Wedding? For some reason, as I was making this wedding card, that song kept playing my mind. Silly!

I used a lot of different products for this wedding card. They will be listed at the end of the post. You may be more curious about how I created this wedding cake shape card from scratch? If so, read on!

1) Start with a 6.50 x 5 inch white card

2) From the top, measure & mark with a pencil 1.5 inches

down and 2 inches in from either side. Cut out the 2 x 1/5 inches from each side.

3) The middle layer is 1.75 inches tall and 1.25 inches removed

from each side. Cut out the 1.25 x 1.75 piece from each side.

4) You are now ready to decorate your cake!

I hope my directions make sense. If not, drop me an e-mail tiffanyscardtique@verizon.net and I'll be more than happy to e-mail you the pattern. You could also use this type of card for a birthday or anniversary card!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend and stop back soon!

I Like You Berry Much!

Did you know that May is National Strawberry Month? Strawberries are a big hit at my house! I make pie, shortcake, dip, and we just eat them plain too! Locally, they come out in June and I love them fresh off the farm. You can go pick them yourself. The only problem is I eat too many when I'm picking and leave with a stomach ache! It's all good. I plan to take my little one this summer. He will love it! Recipe for Card (All supplies from Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Tart & Tangy, Berry Much (A Muse Artstamps)
Designer Series Paper: Summer Picnic (retired)
Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White, Real Red
Ink: Always Artichoke, Real Red
Tools: Eyelet Border Punch, 1 3/8 inch Square Punch

Speaking of strawberries, a great summer stamp set to have on hand is Stampin' Up! Tart & Tangy! I used a stamp from this set for my creation above. Not only is it a cute set, it's inexpensive too! You get a strawberry, cherries, apple, and orange stamp. There are 4 stamps in all but really you can make 6 out of it. The orange stamp could also be a lemon or lime depending on how you color it in! Clever? You bet! I like to make the most out of what I buy.

Enjoy those strawberries and pass along to me any good recipes you might have! I'd love to hear from you. Have a wonderful day!

Hello There!

I am having so much fun with my new supplies from the latest Stampin' Up! Catalog! I hope you are too! Thank you to all my customers who are reaping the benefits of the current promotion going on, Sale-A-Bration! I truly appreciate each & every one of your orders!

Here is the little (3x3) card I made using the new Cherry Blossom Embosslits Die. I added a clear dew drop to the center of the blossom. The patterned paper is from the 6x6 SU! Prints Pack that is a retired hostess set. The little "hello there!" is from SU! Cheep Talk set. If you look closely I made my own tiny little dew drops under the saying using Crystal Effects. The bottom decorative edge was created using the new Eyelet Border Punch.

So many supplies, so little time! Can you relate??? I'm off to go get ready for church!

Enjoy your Sunday!
