Hello stamper and crafter friends! Welcome to my crafty spot on the Creative Inking Blog Hop for the month of May! I am super excited to share my creation because I've been Stampin' Dreams for a few days now. This months theme is to play with our new 2018-2019 Stampin' Up! pre-order goodies!! **squeal** l have to tell you that it was a struggle trying to figure out just which 'toys' to play with first, but I managed to narrow it down. Do you want to see? haha...dumb question, I know! :)

Before choosing which stamp set, dies and other goodies, I decided to choose my color combination. Doesn't this color combination just look yummy? I wanted to make sure that I was using at least 1-2 new or returning colors, because let's face it...the regular colors that we have had around for awhile...well, have been around for a while. :) My main focus is geared towards a young couple who will be exchanging their vows next month. I wanted something beautiful, intricate, and pretty darned special.
- The patterned background comes from the amazing Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. WOW!! There are 8 sheets and each sheet has a TON of these laser-cut patterns...many different designs. After I cut this one down, I decided to back it with So Saffron and pop it up onto the base using Stampin' Dimensionals. It measures 3-3/8" x 4-7/8".
- The stamp set is called "Stitched All Around" and it has a pretty cool coordinating set of dies to go along with it. YEAH!! The dies are called "Stitched Labels Framelits". Look at how well the framed die accentuates the laser-cut background...just like a new couple getting married...truly meant to be together. :)
- The sentiment was inked with Memento Black ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits dies set. I wanted this part to help bring attention to the detailed laser-cut piece....like it really needs it. HA!
- I absolutely LOVE the delicacy of this card. I have planned to pass it onto a lovely couple who has invited us to their wedding next month. This layout could easy be re-created using their wedding colors, too. Pretty-pretty-pretty!!
And, there you have it!! I topped it off with some Gold Metallic Thread and Share What You Love Artisan Pearls. A wedding card isn't complete without pearls, right?!! :)
