Girls Night Out Stamping Event!!!

Posted on

Every time the New Catalog comes out in June, I hold a Girls Night Out Stamping Event! Don’t worry, there is a Girls Morning Out as well since I do it at 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.! I also like to travel over to see my Paris girls too so I have one over there on a Saturday! I thought I would share the invitations with you all today!!! Everyone is welcome to either of these events! Click here to see the Facebook Events for more information and RSVP! You can also email me your RSVP as well!

Girls Night Out Stamping Event, www.LaurasStampPad.com

These invites were super quick and simple to create but adorable and fun too! I used the Eastern Palace Suite and just had fun with it!

I started by printing 4 invites on one sheet of Whisper White cardstock. Then I cut them into 4″ x 5-1/4″ rectangles. Using the Eastern Beauty Stamp Set, I stamped accents onto the invite for a little POP of color. I used the NEW In-Color, Lemon Lime Twist. I think that color is super fabulous for Summer time!! Finally, I layered the invite onto a piece of Melon Mambo measuring 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ which is a quarter sheet of cardstock. There is no waste there as I use every bit of the paper. I thought I would decorate the envelopes a little too but just a little bit more fun! Using the medallion, I stamped it once and then inked it up, rotated it a bit and stamped it again to create this flower. How amazing is that?!?!? I just love it!

See how quick and simple that was to create! This can be changed up for a baby shower, bridal shower, graduation party, birthday party or any type of celebration! I hope you try it out yourself for your next upcoming event!

If you are local to Maryville or Paris (Illinois), I would love to have you join in my Girls Night (Morning) Out Events showcasing the New Catalog in June!

Loving the Sunset!!!

SunSet wedding invite, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Months ago I started working with an amazing couple who were planning their wedding! Their colors were those in a sunset – Real Red, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight. You know how much I love my bright colors!!! I really enjoyed creating the perfect wedding suite for this couple!!!

The invitation was a 5″ x 7″ Invite printed on Whisper White and then I used my Sponge Daubers to add all of those fun colors!!! My fingers did get rather inky but it was totally worth it!!!

Lots of sponge dauber inking, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I added some Silver Ribbon towards the bottom and stamped the scroll-y flower image from the Flowering Flourishes Stamp Set in Perfect Plum at the top!!! Then I layered it onto a piece of Melon Mambo!!! The Hotel Card and RSVP cards were printed on Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie respectively with the Perfect Plum stamped image on them as well!!!

How adorable are these? The Bride came up with this amazing saying that is a sweet as the cake pops they were attached to! The tags were printed on each of the colors – Perfect Plum, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Pumpkin Pie!!! I used the Label Collections (now retired) Framelits to cut them out and the little oval for the ribbon to slide through was created with the Chalk Talk Framelits!!! Love it!!!!

I really enjoy working with Brides and Grooms to create their perfect wedding! Each bride has such amazing ideas and I love it! You can check out some of the others I have created here! If you are getting married, planning a birthday party or anniversary party or any other type of celebration, let me know!

Summertime Sunflower!!!

The Sunflower just screams summer time doesn’t it? The bright yellow color and amazing image is perfect for a summer time wedding too!!! I recently was able to help out a Bride with her Wedding!!!! You all know how much I love weddings! 🙂 Eeee

Sunflower Cards Wedding Suite, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I worked with this Bride to create the perfect Wedding Invitations and of course we had to add in a matching RSVP card. After she saw how amazing the two went together, she asked if I could create Thank You Notes as well! Of course!!!! I created two different styles so she could use one for her Bridal Shower and one for her Wedding. I even stamped the sunflower on the inside corner as well! I love how the sunflower theme was carried out through all of the items.

I used Pacific Point & Daffodil Delight for this card. Of course you can see I used my Modern Label Punch & Word Window Punch! Love it!!

AND then I get to use the fabulous Big New Stamp Set for my wedding cards!!!! I am really loving this set because of the giant greetings and I love the sayings!!!

Big New Wedding Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

How cute is this? I used Pacific Point and Soft Sky for the colors! These colors matched my wrapping paper ;)! You could always match it to the wedding or just use whatever paper is your favorite color that day!

I embossed the background with my Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder which I love because it has this elegant pattern to it! Then I stamped my greeting and added a little heart from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack on the front and inside!!! This is a MUST for your next order if you don’t have it! A little heart, star, and flower…..they are just perfect for a little something added to your project! Perfect size and perfect images! Love them!!!!

Precious Baby Boy!!

Epic Baby Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Or Girl!!! Is this card not precious or what? I created this for a friend of mine who is going to be a Grandma to a little baby boy! I used the Epic Alphabet Stamp Set which is a photopolymer set so that means it is completely clear and you can see your stamping placement perfectly!!! Love it! I stamped the letters in Stazon so I could color them in with my Pear Pizzazz & Pool Party markers! I added the “it’s a boy” greeting from A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set (which also has an it’s a girl greeting)! You could always leave off the gender greeting and make this card in yellow and gray or another gender neutral color to have on hand for your next baby card need! I thought the card needed just a little something more so of course I pulled out my Itty Bitty Punch Pack star punch and added a little Daffodil Delight star on there! Adorable!!!!

What are some of your favorite saying or words that you like to spell out on your cards with the Alphabet Stamps? Leave me a comment down below! I’m having a hard time coming up with short words although I did do this super cute card!!!

Elegant & Simple Wedding Invitations

Posted on

Baroque Wedding Invites,wwwLaurasStampPad.com

I love the elegant scroll look of this Wedding Invitation that I created for a Bride. Her colors were Marina Mist and Basic Gray! I then used the Baroque Motifs Stamp Set which retired a few years ago but you can still get the Digital Download – Baroque Motifs! That’s the best thing about Digital Downloads, they never retire! This invitation was created as a 5″ x 7″ and had a matching RSVP card with a little of the stamped image on there as well! I love how these items pair together and look amazing!

Once you have your colors and theme/image picked for your wedding, I can create the perfect Save the Date, Invitation, Program, Place Cards, Thank You Notes, and so much more for your special day! If you would like to get your crafty side out, I can help with the design and supplies and you can create them yourself (or with all of you best girls)!!!! Email me today to get started! I do other celebrations as well! You can check out more samples by clicking here!

Bridal Showers!!!

Posted on

Wedding Season is in full bloom! That means there are lots of Wedding Showers taking place as well. Well if you are in charge of an upcoming Wedding (or Baby) Shower and need fabulous ideas or help with making them, I am here for you! I would love to help you with your crafty side and make amazing shower invites, favors, etc OR I am more than happy to make that perfect piece for you! Leave me a comment down below and we can get started! Now for those fabulous ideas…..

Bridal Shower, Rustic, Elegant, www.LaurasStampPad.com

These fabulous Bridal Shower invites were made for a friend of mine who is having a Rustic/Elegant Wedding theme! That seems to be another popular theme lately! I played around with a few samples before we landed on this one. The one above was created with the Daydream Medallion Stamp Set and matching Floral Frames Framelits!!! I love playing with this stamp set. I started with a piece of 8-1/2 x 11 Very Vanilla cardstock and just stamped all over in So Saffron and Crumb Cake (sometimes stamping a few times before returning to the ink pad for that variation of color). Then I took the stamped piece and cut it into pieces for multiple cards! This made making 40 invitations go much quicker than stamping each piece individually!

Bridal Shower, lace, Elegant, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This was another option that I created for my friend to pick from. I used the Daydream Medallion Stamp Set on the center piece of So Saffron and then I used the Delicate Details Lace Trim (which is retiring on June 1, get it before it’s gone)! Another fabulous Shower invitation!!!

I hope these samples gave you inspiration and if you are in charge of a Shower or another special event and you just aren’t feeling crafty, I am more than happy to help you out!!! Also, be on the lookout for more Shower Invites because I am working on some right now for my cousin who is getting married this summer! Love it!!! 🙂

Perfect Peacock!!

Posted on

I love working with Brides to create the perfect piece for their wedding! I had a Bride come to me for wedding invitations for her quickly approaching wedding. She said the theme/colors were Peacock colors!!! I love love love these colors – Midnight Muse, Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo and many more variations! So first things first, get the right color combination!

Peacock Colors, www.LaurasStampPad.com

There are so many different combinations and color schemes! She went with Island Indigo and Elegant Eggplant! Now onto the style of the invitation! She really loved the gate fold style (where it opens on both sides, meeting in the middle to close). Then she saw the perfect invitation…..Tying The Knot!!! This style has been very popular and she instantly loved it!!!

As you open the invitation, there is a piece of Island Indigo Baker’s Twine that ties into a knot! It is super cute and a fun way to share with others that you are Tying The Knot! 🙂 I also created matching RSVP cards that had a peacock on them as well!

Here is another Peacock wedding using a little Gumball Green in with the mix!!!!

Wedding Programs!!!

Posted on

As you all know, I LOVE weddings and have started working with Brides to create fabulous custom pieces to make their day even more special! I have been doing lots of wedding lately but I am waiting to post them till after the wedding! Well today I am sharing with you some Wedding Programs that I recently did for an amazing couple!!!

Wedding Programs, www.LaurasStampPad.comOkay, so first of all I love the colors – Melon Mambo and Night of Navy!!!! (Melon Mambo was one of my wedding colors 🙂 ) These were very basic but super fabulous! I did some in Melon Mambo and some in Night of Navy which was super cute because then they were able to enjoy both colors! Also, these are perfectly personalized with the “R” monogram! These programs were double sided – one side was the order of events and the other side was the wedding party and family members!  I loved making these and when the Bride came to pick them up, she was so excited and bursting with happiness! I’m so happy I was able to add this special touch to make her wedding day even better! If you are getting married or planning a party and need help with the invitations, programs, thank you notes, party favors and so much more, reach out to me! I’m happy to help you! You can check out more samples that I have created here and here!


Daydream Medallion Birthday Invitations!!!

Posted on

A friend of mine reached out to me to make invitations for her mother’s 60th Birthday Party! I was so excited to be able to help with this party!! I know that the Mother’s favorite color is Purple and she loved a rustic/vintage look. Here is what I came up with:

Daydream Medallion Invitation, www.LaurasStampPad.com

What do you think?? I think I nailed it on the head!!! I used the Daydream Medallion Stamp Set which has quickly became my go to stamp set. You can check out more samples here and here! LOVE IT! I randomly stamped all over and then added a little more ink with my sponge daubers for the bottom half of the card. Then I die-cut all of the smallest flowers from the Floral Frames Framelits and brushed the edges with Elegant Eggplant ink and my sponge daubers. I brushed the edges of the banners as well. Here are a few of the steps I took when making these.

Remember assembly line is the best way to make multiple cards!

I even stamped a little on the corner of the envelopes to make them match and a decorated envelope in the mail is sooooo exciting to receive! I love how they turned out and the Birthday Girl LOVED them too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sue!!!!!

If you are having a party or wedding and need help with the invitations, programs, party favors, and more let me know and I would love to help you make the perfect party!!!!
