Wedding Card (Note: This is the second post for today. Scroll down to see a cute baby gift!)

June weddings.  Love them!  Whenever I make a wedding card, I like to make it as personal as possible for the couple whether it's incorporating their engagement photo, wedding colors, etc.

The inspiration for this card came from the bride-to-be.  She'll be wearing a Spring Green sash around the waist of her gorgeous wedding dress.

This card looks SO much prettier in real life.  So fresh and Springy.  Just like the bridal photos.  The green in the ampersand and card stock is a new In Color from the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  I LOVE this new green!  And there are rhinestones all over the card but it's hard to photograph rhinestones.  At least it is for me. ;)

This is the card I made for our baby girl who is now officially a high school graduate!  I can't believe how fast the time goes.  Love you, Sweet Pea!

The Stamp Set: (okay so it's not really a stamp set but a stamp wheel which I always forget I have!)

Stampin' Up! Nursery Letters Jumbo Wheel (retired)

The cards: (these were made for my son to give to two of his friends who recently had birthdays.  Hopefully they won't care that they're kinda the same.  Who am I kidding.  They're boys.  They won't care, right?)

How Do You Create?

I usually have three methods of operation when I'm creating cards:

1) I sit down at the Kitchen Table Studio and make bunches of cards to keep on file for later,

2) I make several of the same style of card but in different colors,

or

3) I make a card, with a specific person in mind.

Nine times out of ten, it's number 3.  It makes things a bit tricky when I'm down to the wire for a specific occasion, but I love thinking about the recipient when I'm making their card.  I think it makes it a bit more personal.

I made these cards recently for two great ladies I know.

This first one is for a friend who's girly but also very outdoorsy.

This other one is for a fiery redhead who is always dressed in fabulous, colorful clothes.

So what's your M.O. when you make cards or projects?  Inquiring minds want to know!

May Card Class

Here are the cards we'll be making at my May card class.  I had a couple of requests to do cards with "older" stamp sets, specifically "Cheep Talk" (the green card) and "Flight of the Butterfly" (pink card) from SU!  It's a little challenging to make older sets look fresh, so hopefully I succeeded and those coming will be happy. :)
