Bridal? Sure, of course.



Tuesday night we were hit with some unexpected storm that came with some potential tornadoes, wind, and some much needed rain. We had the tornado siren go off, but thankfully enough it all passed in due time and no damage occurred in any areas. It was, nonetheless scary.

We are also continuing the work on getting set up for the new school year and it is a major undertake for me as much as for the children. This all has not stopped me from going to my craft corner and get my juices flowing. It helps me with the daily routine and keep a fresh perspective on things. Anyway, I made today's card for the Dostamper Stars challenge 145.  Oh how I like the colors and patterns of the new Pretty Petals DSP stack and the one used today went really well with the Flowering Flourishes stamp set. I debated about using ribbon, but voted on the Flower Shop stamp set for the detail of the sketch. It gave life to the card along with the little flowers to enhance the colors. A perfect bridal shower card, don't you think?

This? or That?


I like cards that have a clear definition of the theme, but I also like to have some cards at hand that can go with couple - or more - themes.

For today's DoStamper Stars challenge 140 the prepared card fit the second category. I can see this card going to a young lady on her birthday, but I can also see this card going to a bridal shower, or graduate, or even retirement. The theme neutrality of it was obtained by keeping it simple and going for an equally neutral sentiment. The Awesomely Artistic stamp set gave the Rose Red edge an elegant feel. The sentiment from the And Many More stamp set fit well inside the little label. Looking back, I should have stamped the label in Daffodil Delight and the sentiment in Rose Red. Nonetheless I like the simplicity and versatility of this card. Thank you for visiting today. Be well.

A begginers' nest


The biggest new begging of anyone's life is getting married, in my humble opinion. We learn and grow so much by sharing our lives with someone else. It is challenging yet the rewards of the growth we obtain is priceless.

Since we are in the summer and people are getting married all over the place, I prepared a wedding/bridal shower for The Paper Players challenge 251 today. The stamp set My Friend has been retired for a bit now, but it has not grown old. The main image is from the World of Dreams stamp set. Those two little birds in the nest look so loving, how can I resist? The sentiment is also from yet another retired set, the Loving Thoughts. The Mint Macaron strip was embossed using the new Elegant Dots; on the foliage, I wanted a more subtle and soft effect, and i got that by "brushing" the ink pad over the image, rather than inking as we normally do. I just put it on top of the image and drag it using only one edge to ink the stamp.

Thank you for visiting today, have a fantastic week and come back soon. Be well

Amore.



I told you I was on a roll with Love themed card. Today is yet again another one that I can see been given to a Bride on her shower or even wedding day.

Do you agree? I love the sketch from the SSSC 272 and I will make other cards using the same sketch. Few variations of course. Making cards is like cooking for me. Lots of variations each time, except when baking. This card takes the sentiment from Seasonally Scattered and it was heat embossed in Silver. The paper is from the Modern Medley DSP long retired, but much loved, no pun intended. The hearts replace the banner from the original sketch as I thought it more suitable. As for the ribbon, is a Pink Pirouette, that I still have a good amount of it. Got love those retired products that always deliver!

Oh happy day.

PPA254


I am on the roll with cards for Weddings, Bridal Showers, and Anniversaries. The summer months are here, so it is time for much, much love.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, ppa254, bridal card, wedding card, heat embossing, flowering flourishes, happy day stamp set, su

I made this card thinking of a Bridal Shower being held outdoors with fun, happy people, having a fantastic time. I got married outdoors and always thought of that as being ideal, weather permitting. The color combo is from the Pals Paper Art challenge 254, and I used the Flowering Flourishes stamp set as the main image. This was heat embossed with the Iridescent Powder and it looks striking - although the picture is not doing it justice. I really like how it is discreet and sparkly with the "happy day" sentiment gives the pop of color. The sentiment is from the retired Happy Days stamp set. I still had some Strawberry Slush trim and gives a nice balance of the color. I am sure the bride will have a very happy day and I wish that the life of the new couple be filled with happy days.

A Toast!



June is wedding month, or so it appears in the northern states. I can see why, and I, myself, am guilty as charged. I like to work on wedding cards, but often I run out of ideas. I want to prepare elaborate cards and all, but simplicity always wins over.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampnwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, fms, bridal card, wedding card, love & laughter stamp set, brushed silver card stock, silver glimmer paper, heat embossing, su

Look at this card as an example? It is very simple in itself, in its design, and final results. Yet I truly like the simplicity of it. The sketch if form the Freshly Made Sketches 189; both the image and sentiment are heat embossed in white powder for an extra touch of elegance. Both are from the Love & Laughter stamp set as well as the flowers on the corners of the card. The Brushed Silver cardstock is wonderful to work with; whether you are using a punch, a embossing folder, a heat embossing, it takes it all. Love the effect the White Embossing powder had on it. A bit of Silver Glimmer paper and the card is sure to be appreciated by the beautiful bride.
