Summertime, Sparklers and S'more go to the Wedding

Did you know that although the phrase is "June Brides" that July is actually a more popular month for weddings than June! In my family that really runs true, me, my sister and brother were all married in July. And this weekend my niece is following suit! So while you're all reading this post, I'm off enjoying all the festivities with my family. It should be a wonderful weekend!

And so when creating this week's Summertime, Sparklers and S'more project, I couldn't help but play up the Wedding theme! And since blue (especially navy and royal) seem to be the wedding colors of the year, I just went for it.

I used the double glitter technique with the LJ924 Bride stencil to create the background and then using silver embossing posted, embossed the BRAND NEW LL3034 Your Wedding stencil.

Very clean and simple but still very pretty!

Now head on over to the Dreamers who are playing along with this week's challenge for more inspiration:

AND

ARE TEAMING UP THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE TO BRING YOU AN AMAZING CREATIVE COLLABORATION MIXING DREAMWEAVER STENCILS AND ART GLITTER. COME ALONG FOR THE RIDE...WE PROMISE IT WILL BE A SPARKLING ONE!

Okay, with graduations and Father's Day this weekend plus all the promos for the movie "Rock Star" playing across the TV, I thought today's card would be quite fitting.

Guitar is Dreamweaver's NEW LL3028 stencil!!!

To create the gold strips, I just cut 1/2" strips of Dreamweaver's Double-sided mounting paper and then sprinkled Art Glitter's Old Gold glitter over them. I created the stars the same way, using a larger piece of the paper and then a Spellbinder's die to cut them out. The black microfine glitter and the white background is my standby Crystal.

I hope you all have a ROCKIN' good day. Don't forget to head over to both the Dreamweaver and Art Glitter blogs this week to check out all the cool glittery creations! And remember to leave comments because there are winners every week! See the Dreamweaver blog for all the info.

Until next week, ROCK ON!!!

Another "Dreampendous" Creation

Welcome to the THIRD DAY of the Dreamweaver/Stampendous Blog Hop! I hope you've been enjoying this as much as I have.

All of this week the Dreamweaver Stencils' Dream Team and the Stampendous Design Teams will be providing some "Dream-pendous" inspiration for you, with multiple opportunities to win some fabulous prizes from both companies.

Each day this week, you will be directed from both the Stampendous Impressions' blog or the Dream It Up! blog to the players du jour for your oohing and aaahing pleasure. Everyone will be playing on Saturday, the 14th with our final hop for the week. This is your opportunity to see how to mix and mingle your creativity...if you are a stenciler, you will be fascinated at combining stamps with your first love. If you are a stamper, you will be wowed at how stencils can add to your impressions.

This card was a lot of fun to make and surprisingly it went together fairly quickly. Here's a quick summary:

1. Using Dreamweaver's LJ820 Floral Lace and the double-glitter technique, create the glitter lace piece.

2. Using the same stencil, machine emboss onto vanilla cardstock and ink with Victorian Velvet Distress sink

3. Using Dreamweaver's LJ836 Doily stencil, tap Versamark ink over the stencil openings. Remove stencil and sprinkle and heat emboss with Stampendous Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel. Cut out with Oval Die.

4. Stamp NEW Stampendous Phone Lady CRV263 with Black ink onto Mauve cardstock. Cut out with oval die.

The rest is just laying and embellishing. Pretty straightforward.

Be sure to leave comments as you tour the blogs (with your email addy!) for a chance to win* one of three combined sets of these Dreamweaver and Stampendous goodies:

*For shipping and handling purposes, USA/APO/FPO/Canada winners only
