Well,
with my eldest nephew's wedding anniversary fast approaching and
following on the theme of co-ordinating a card to the colour scheme they
had on the day - it was an easy task for me as Stampin Up is co-ordination with a Capital 'C'!
From the punched shapes, to the cardstock, to the backing papers and embossing folders and embellishments - they have them all.
My
choice was governed by their's - and Island Indigo as the main colour
just fitted the bill, and offset against white. I think it all worked
perfectly together. This is what I came up with, and apologies for the
photographs!
Whisper
white for the card with a matted/layered centre panel of Island Indigo
topped with a strip of toning paper from the Quatrefancy DSP range.
I
punched a series of mosaic shapes, topped these with the small heart,
and finished the sides of the card with the smaller hearts using the two
step owl punch.
My
sentiment was layered on strip of white cardstock, run through the
hearts embossing folder. I sponged the edges prior prior to making a
small snip at each side to help locate the baker's twine trim.
... and
to finish the inside I just opted to stamp a little heart at the top
right just to tie it all in with the hearts theme I had used everywhere
else - leaving me plenty of space to write them a little congratulatory
note..
Hope they liked it.

hi all
well just a little card this week - very little in the way of stamping - more an exercise in co-ordination and how Stampin Up make that so easy.
With everything in the Stampin Up catalogues described in such a way so you know what compliments what - whether its a stamp set, a particular punch, a set of dies for shape cutting or what colours co-ordinate with a designer series paper pack - they list it all.
- so no guess work involved on your part and you know your finished item will look stunning.
That was the case here - I chose Pear Pizzazz for my colour base for this good luck card, matted on Very Vanilla cardstock, and topped with toning designer series paper.
Come and see what I managed to make with a few scraps.
I did make use of both current and retired papers I had in my snips box, punched a set of 4 little hearts to make my 4-leafed clover and used the 'So Happy for You' set for both the stalk and the Good luck' sentiment.
Although now retired, another favourite which I do keep close at hand!
...but of course you could easily substitute all these for items of your own.
A bit of sponging round the edge and paper piercing to add some interest, along with my beloved rhinestones for a bit of bling. All finished off with a seam binding/brad bow, and the top layer popped up on Stampin Dimensionals.
If you look closely you can see I also went just a tiny bit dot happy with my Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds stamping glitter -
... well you can't have enough glimmer and glitter in my book!. I decorated the inside with a strip of paper punched with my dotted scallop ribbon punch, just to lift it a bit.
I do love the way it all went together, knowing that everything just goes!
I hope you like it.

just to add... this was for my lovely sister who is partway through a college course and just heard she has been offered a 2nd interview for a job to follow.
So we are all jumping about here and crossing finges, toes, and anything else that comes to mind - in the hope that she is successful.
