Happy Friday, everyone!
It's a huge weekend for our family. My nephew, Joey, is getting married tomorrow!
Call it coincidence but his future wife's name is – Lisa! ((smile))
I've been working with my sister, Krista, on the preparations for the rehearsal dinner. I also had the honor of making their wedding invitations. Lisa has very detailed and exquisite taste and the tri-fold invite turned out beautifully.
Congratulations to the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs.!
Today's tutorial using the Jar of Love Bundle. This bundle includes the photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Everyday Jar Framelits. There are a ton of possibilities with this bundle and I highly recommend purchasing it before May 31st, when the bundle officially retires. You can view the entire retiring list HERE.
The stamp set and the framelits are both in the new catalog debuting on June 1st but will be sold separately.
I've included the tutorial below and also have it available in a PDF format for those of you that would like to download it and save it for later.

- Adhere the layered circle to the front of the card using Dimensionals. NOTE: Adding the Dimensionals to the top half of the circle will compensate for the layering/height of the burlap ribbon and doily.
- Adhere several gold sequins to the card Fine-Tip Glue. Let dry.
What a beautiful card and couple. He is giving back to the community what a wonderful gesture. My parents were snow birds in Fort Meyers for quite a while before they settled in Zephyr Hills. Enjoy your weekend.
After the wedding, hopefully the happy couple will allow you to show the invitations that you made for them.
Have a fun week-end celebrating with family
