Our talented teammate Lisa K. created the Just Us Girls Word Week #679: Wedding. My husband and I don't attend too many weddings anymore but our daughter is on the bridesmaid circuit of life, being Maid of Honor and Bridesmaid quite a bit these days. This gives me a reason to make wedding and shower cards more frequently. Here is my latest for our challenge.

Products I used:
Pinkfresh Studio: Built on Dreams stamp, die and stencil sets
Concord and 9th: Happy Day Dies, Mini ink cubes
Mini adhesive pearl hearts
Stampin' Up!: White ribbon
I fell in love with these stamps, dies and stencils quite a while ago. I have one project in progress for Christmas from last year, but I decided to stop and make this little house with stenciling for a wedding theme when paired with the Concord and 9th sentiments. There are 5 layering stencils and they are pretty easy to use! In order to "wedding it up" I added the tiny pearl hearts all over the front. I also stenciled a teeny bit inside to carry over the design from the front. I could have made a hinge for the two houses to be joined, but I wanted to have a pretty ribbon involved, so I used my Crop-o-dile to punch a hole on the side to thread the ribbon through and tie a bow. My card measures 5" x 4" but you could stamp directly on a card base or stamp and die cut the house to put on a card base.
We hope you will join us this week. Even if you don't need a wedding card, a "Love" card with some embellishments could work. Check our the design team's ideas and see you in our gallery!

What a novel idea, Carol. I would never have thought of this but the house makes a lovely wedding card.
This is creative times ten! Love it!
Thanks ladies!!!!
This is so amazing! I love that your card base is a house for the new couple. Beautiful stenciling on this too!
Your floral house-shaped wedding card is incredibly pretty, Carol. I had an opportunity to buy this set at a significantly reduced price, but missed the opportunity. Kicking myself! It really does have plenty of possibilities...
