Hello! Yes, I’ve been AWOL again haven’t I? You know if it’s not one thing, it’s another. What can I say? I hope you’ll stick with me.
A friend of mine has a son getting married this fall and she wants to send out invitations to the rehearsal dinner that she is in charge of. She asked me to help her come up with some ideas. The bride-to-be mentioned to my friend that part of the wedding theme was burlap and lace. Interesting is what I thought when I first heard that. Then I got on Pinterest to get some ideas. You wouldn’t believe how many ideas there are for burlap and lace! Wow! Is it popular!
I had a hard time figuring out what to do. I saw this idea and thought it was pretty cute. I do like the look of the burlap and lace together, don’t you? Luckily I happened to have a piece of burlap in my basement so I grabbed it and cut out the heart. I tried die-cutting the burlap with a heart framelit but that didn’t quite work. Instead I made a template from the framelit and then just traced it on the burlap. I used Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful Victoria Crochet Ribbon. The background is stamped with the new Hardwood stamp and the sentiment is from the Regarding Dahlias stamp set.
This isn’t the sample my friend chose but it sure is cute. It would make a fun valentine, wedding or anniversary card too. I’ll show you the sample my friend chose later this week.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
