A Simple Wedding Card

My niece is getting married next weekend, a perfect excuse to play with cardstock and ink.

I was looking at my Big Shot dies and realized I'd never actually made a card with the Scalloped Envelope Bigz die, I'm sure the poor thing was feeling neglected. The invitation to the wedding is brown and vanilla with a little pink ribbon, so I'm guessing those are their wedding colors and chose my designer paper from those colors. This is Candy Lane, which just retired as it uses last years In Colors.

The card base is Pink Pirouette (retired), with VeryVanilla mounted on Close to Cocoa. It doesn't show in the picture, but I ran the vanilla through the Big Shot with the Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates dotted backround. The little card in the envelope is stamped in Chocolate Chip with a stamp from the Only Ovals Stamp Set, I rounded the card to match the shape of the stamp so the scallops and Designer Paper would show behind it. I tied a piece of Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon around the envelope to make it a little fancier. It's a pretty simple card, but sometimes those are the best.

The inside of the card has a pop-up wedding cake in it made from the same DSP, but I didn't want you to get bored with pop-up cakes, so I didn't take a picture of it.

Check back for more ways to use the Big Shot later this week, and mark your calendar for Mostly Monthly Mystery Hostess Workshop on the 16th. You could walk away with free stamps!
