Wedding Day (1)b

Well this is it...the last post before the release. Thank you so much for following along with me the past few days. When I first created this set, I can't tell you how excited I was about the possibilities. In fact, if I showed you my sketchbook, you would see that many of the cards, wedding favours and other projects were all ready to go from colour, to layout, right down to the embellishments. So yes, while it was a bit of work putting together all theses goodies to share with you, most of the leg work was done while I was awaiting the arrival of my stamps.

As a final project I wanted to share a special CD album. This is SOOO simple you are going to squeal.

Since many people record their weddings digitally (videos and photos), I thought that an ideal gift for the wedding attendants and your family members would be this sweet CD album that not only holds your wedding video and photos but also a thank you card from the couple.

Step 1
I used this wonderful CD folder (I purchased it online but have forgotten where. I will have to find the link for you)





And stamped the 3/4 of the front (you could stamp front and back if you have the time *wink*) The surface is glossy so I decided that 3/4 would give the look I was going for without having to worry about the stamp sliding too much.

Tip: If you are troubled by glossy surfaces adhere a piece of cardstock to the front instead.

Step 2
Next I stamped my CD. This is a project you want to do and set aside for a while so that it can dry.



This is what it looked like when I was finished. You can add a date and your name to the CD for a nice touch too.



Step 3
Create a card base of 5x5 and stamp the oval image in the centre (then cut it out) and stamp other images around the card too. I added some primas and a pearl to finish off the card and of course the photo too--hard to believe that was taken 8 years ago--ahh to be that young again.

Tip: Mask off the oval image (stamp part of the image on a scrap piece of paper or sticky note) and place it over top before stamping the flourished square.

Here is what the finished project looks like on the inside. I would also add a photo the wedding attendant, friend, family member etc that attended the wedding on the blank canvas where the CD tucks in. I unfortunately already gave those photos away 8 years ago so I don't have one to show you. Of course you could also stamp it too!



Here is what it looks like on the outside.


Now, for the prize details...how would you like to receive a Wedding Day stamp set from me? All you need to do is leave me a note and let me know you dropped by. The draw time is 8:30 PST tonight! Make sure you spread the word because there isn't much time left.
