Hi Stampers.

Welcome to the Pals’ August  Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Special Occasions”  – cards or projects that adds beauty to the special occasions we all love to make cards for! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I chose to make a wedding card using the Wonderful Moments stamp set and the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The daughter of a friend is getting married next year and her colors are dark red and gray, so I used Merry Merlot and Basic Gray cardstock.  She’s young, she must know what’s on trend – right?!?

I chose to make it a pocket card where the two sides are triangles that folded in and I layered ovals over the center.  I stamped the bride in Smokey Slate ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends.

Stampin’ Tip: I actually stamped on scrap paper first and then onto the Whisper White CS without re-inking.  This is referred to as second generation stamping.  It made a lighter image outline, so my coloring stood out more than the lines.

The  dress is accented using the Shimmery Whisper White Embossing Powder.  I just love how it makes her dress sparkle!!

Stampin’ Tip: I filled a dried out blender pen with Versamark refill ink. This allowed me to draw where I wanted the embossing powder to go (between the outlines, but not over them).  Then I sprinkled the embossing powder and heated with the heat tool to melt it.

The inside pull out section is a (4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″) layer of Basic Gray CS covered with a (4″ x 5-1/4″) layer of Whisper White CS and a 1/2″ x 4″ strip of the DSP at the top.  I also added the same DSP to the flap of my envelope.  I love it when everything matches!

I stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot ink into the center of the Whisper White layer.  Next, I punched a 1/8″ hole in the center of the top and added Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.

Here is a diagram of how I cut my 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Merry Merlot CS for my base.  For the DSP, I used two pieces of 3-1/4″ x 5-3/8″ and cut from the left side of the short side to the middle of the long side.  I attached these layers to my card using snail adhesive.
