WOW all the responses have been SOOOOO helpful. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SERIOSULY!
I asked you all for opinions on the card I should choose for my SIL bridal shower invites and I was so happy to get your feedback.
Looks like most of the recommendations are for #2. The one with patterned paper. So, I went to the craft store, and ya know what NO PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im now wondering if I got it at a stamp expo! OH gosh whats a girl to do.
OMG! I was a Rage-ing maniac! TYRING to find a place to order it. I have no clue. Its by American Crafts Ala Carte collection in Baguette. Im so upset.
So Now I will have no choice but to go with #1. I love that one so its ok. I just got the idea set that I would use #2! I am however going to add their initials behind the love sentiment. Everyone seems to agree its awesome! AND I think I found an amazing ribbon too.
I also hope to soon share in favors for the shower and whatnot. AND my center piece ideas (dont ask cause I dont know yet) The favors I am doing chocolate flower molds and stamping clear boxes with the flower on the card in the carribean color with the love sentiment and their initals on the tags tied around the clear boxes. So each box with have several colored chocolate flowers. I think they will look really pretty.
We still arent sure WHERE its being held! I left a message at our town community center and need to hear back-so I cant do anything till the place is booked. WHY? Because they cardstock goes through the printer FIRST! EEEK! Time is ticking.
PLUS I dont even have the invitation list yet.
OH man wedding nightmares here I come. Im not in the wedding and this is totally stressin me.
MORE HELP NEEDED!
OK People you are invaluable to me. I am donating my time at the Relay for Life in our area on June 23rd from 7pm-10pm (if you live in the area and want to help call me!). This is a huge event for Cancer research/support for everyone affected.
Anyway-I was asked to do a stamping project with people who attend. Who ever participates.
When I did the Walk for Breast Cancer I did book markers and people could choose a variety of stamps all that worked well with the same colors (pink and greens) anyway…….
WHAT ON EARTH SHOULD I DO?
It has to be something that people dont need much direction for and can do quickly.
I think Im too into WOW factor stuff to think simple. Ya know like the first time you saw embossing, then you forget about it for a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking, Hershey candy bar wrapper (that could get ugly though) Luggage name tags, um that it! LOL! I really do not know!
So if YOU were attending an event what would be a cool thing to do using stamps as a keepsake?
Oh Another thought how about a wishing stone/magnet/ They could stamp a word or image, then stick it under a flat marble and attach a magnet? Is that LAME?????
OK I am really thinking out loud here.
If you are still reading-thanks! Im boring myself.
Well Check in tomorrow Im featuring 3 cards using Hue’s of Blue. They are LOVELY. And yes-its all using Lizzie Anne sets-I just cant help it, and it hasnt been a week yet! 2 more days of Lizzie Anne (at least! LOL!) I really love the new sets. Can ya tell?
Have a good night.

See it was meant to be number 1!
A magnet on a wishing stone is not lame. It is 3-D and they can put it on their fridge.
Remember, these are BEGINNERS.
Well – I guess there was some sort of intervention telling you that it should be card #1… 🙂 I really liked the initials behind the sentiment also…can’t wait to see the final product!
I LOVE the idea of the magnet/wishing stone. it’s easy, it’s small, and it can be meaningful, or just fun…LOVE it.
Wishing stone magnets sound great. Or bookmarks. They won’t know that you’ve done it before, you know. Anything else could get really expensive. One thing I have done with my Club is get actual stones (from the $1 store, in a bag, already polished) and stamp sayings with Staz-On on them. We did the small sayings from “Seaside Sketches” or the one similar to it. It was very quick & simple and another “wishing stone” kind of thing.
Good luck! Your blog samples are really pretty, by the way! Good job!
Having a good idea and then not having the paper or ribbon drives me nuts. It sued to be I woul donly buy one peice of patterned paper but now if I love love love it a lot, I will buy two. SHimmer papers only get one because they are so expensive. I dont worry about cardstock tho. And double sided papers/cardstock-I better get two if I like both sides.
I was recently in a contest and we were given one 6 x 6 peice of paper to work with for a card. I always try to do mock ups before I choose my final design and could not find the paper anywhere. It was from Doodlebugs. SSZO I made my card, sent it in reluctantly. Then yesterday I found more of the paper> GRRRRR!
oh you are to cute. i liked card # 1 also.
wishing stone magnets i think best idea . im a new stamper ohh boy i can see how all this gets confusing , im in awe at it all already !!
The wishing stone is not lame. These are beginners so either that or a bookmark would be the best way to go.
I’m not sure if I’m “hearing” you correctly- Did you say you need the information about the location of the shower so that you can have it printed on the inside of the cardstock? Perhaps you could think about doing a liner- it really looks polished. Print it in any font/color/style you want onto high quality printer paper. trim it to 1/4 sheet size and adhere with spray adhesive to the inside. A fully lined card insert looks really classy- just adhere on the left side only, or on the center fold, and leave the right side loose. If you are having trouble picturing it, check out some of the wordy-type hallmark cards that have an insert, or email and I can send a pic.
Lauren, I really like your idea of the wishing stone magnet. My kiddos and I just did Relay for Life this weekend so ideas are still fresh. I think the magnets would be well received. I’d love to hear how it goes!!!
I like the wishing stone idea, something quick and not too involved which makes it easier to do with lots of people at once, plus people love magnets!
Reliable and stable cosmology clock to tick, recording the time monster earphones smooth passing, and the universe itself is eternal, no
start and no end. But before long, a subversive red shift change people’s this view.
