Bridal Expo

I stepped out of my comfort zone a couple of weeks ago and set up a booth at our local Bridal Expo to show all the future brides what Close To My Heart is all about!  I created several examples of what could be done for their weddings using our products. 

I took several of the Save the Dates, bridal shower and wedding invitations I've received this past year and duplicated them using Close To My Heart products where I could.  I was also inspired by pinterest on a couple as well.  Here are my favorites: 

Used: Quatrefoil embossing folder, Art Philosophy cricut cartridge, Basics Cardstock Combo pack
 Used: Black Cardstock, Yuletide Carol Paper, gold shimmer trim
 Used: Smoky plum cardstock, gypsy ink pad, I can't remember the name of the stamp set.
 Used: Letters from the Artfully Sent cricut cartridge, mini calendar stamp set, Happy to be Friends stamp set, I Do stamp set, and black ink pad
 Used: cranberry cardstock, black striped twill ribbon
 Used: I can't remember the name of the stamp set, monogram stamp, pear cardstock and ink pad.

Then I decided I'd show that you could create wedding favors and thank you cards too:

 Used: The Happy Couple stamp set, greetings stamp set from the Artfully Sent Cricut bundle, black ink pad and red enamel hearts
 Used: Artiste cricut cartridge, hollyhock and outdoor denim cardstock, silver sequins and happy autumn stamp set
 Used: chocolate ink, letters from the artfully sent cricut bundle, tree is a past stamp of the month, artiste cricut cartridge for shapes.
 Used: I Do stamp set, thistle and slate ink, and thistle diagonal striped ribbon

Oh the possibilities ... I could sit down and make even more now after thinking a few more days! 

If you see something you like, I'd be happy to help you get started on creating your own!  It's a lot of fun and definitely gives your wedding a unique look!
