SNEAK PEEK: Going to the Chapel Card from the In the City Stamp Set
May 23, 2017 by

CARD
I can't look at this card and not sing along with it, "going to the chapel and we're gonna get marrrrrrried..." lol. Now I've got it stuck in my head, I'll be singing it all day long. The card is gorgeous! Created with the new Stampin Up In the City Hostess stamp set. Which is an amazing stamp set. It has so many cool pieces. Just over a week before it releases with the new Annual catalog. I especially love the white on white Flourish die over the Brick wall textured folder. It's fabulous.

PUNCH ART GRILL CARD
My man card for today is this super cute "punch Art" Weber Grill card. Created with a few Stampin Up punches, and the Swirly Scribbles die. Check out my how to video below and see just how fun and easy this card is to make. Anytime you are doing punch art, mini glue dots are your friend. They make assembling easy.
