More Designs from Ashley Cannon Newell

Today I have some more Fantastic creations from Ashley Cannon Newell.

She created this GORGEOUS Baby Invitation that I could not wait to show you guys:


Ashley says,
This template is a perfect way to make simple petal invites. I made one using a baby shower theme. Instead of the typical, "Join Us for a Baby Shower" sentiment, I combined a few of my Papertrey Ink stamps to come up with this one! I stamped the sentiment on a shipping tag to signify a new baby! The giraffe makes the invitation a bit more fun along with the brown gingham ribbon. I think the mommy-to-be for this shower definitely knows she's having a boy!

Instructions
Draw faux stitching with marker.
On shipping tag, stamp sentiment.
Stamp giraffe on kraft cardstock, color, and cut out.
Tie ribbon around invitation.
Add shipping tag.
Add giraffe (adhere rhinestones to giraffe's eyes).
Supplies
Stamps :: Papertrey Ink - bitty baby blessings, paper tray (invited, but only stamped invite); Fiskars
Ink :: Stampin' Up! - chocolate chip (marker too); Copics; Uniball - white gel pen
Paper :: Cut Cardstock - 6.25" aqua square petal card invitation

Ashley also created this Beautiful "Wedding Wishes" card.

Instructions:

SCS Fabulous Creations !

Yay we have some fantastic designers I can't wait show case. Gorgeous projects and a ton of inspiration!

We asked the very TALENTED SplitCoastStampers designers known as "The Dirty Dozen" to create some projects/cards with our product.

The first designer I want to showcase is so super, duper talented that I spent a good morning enjoying all of her fabulous inspiration on her Blog.

Ashley Cannon Newell designs are so innovative and just simply Gorgeous !

Here are a few fantastic ideas from Ashley:




Ashley said she decided to try out our Pocket Fold Invitation.
I've always wanted to make these, but it is super difficult because cardstock just is not large enough. Then you have to deal with the pocket and everything, which means you might as well buy one, right?! This was super easy to design because the template was already there! I trimmed down the top part a bit to show off the label a little better, but everything else remained the same. I even ran the top portion through my Cuttlebug (twice) to get the polka dot embossed image! On the inside, I used some of their shimmer cardstock. It prints extremely well.

She also created this fantastic Place Card:


I adhered a matching label, with an attendees name to a place card. The label was stamped using Waltzingmouse Very Vintage Labels No. 4. The "antique key" is a rubber stamp by Rubber Stampede (picked up from Michaels or A.C. Moore). The decorative trim is a punch by EK Success (picked up from Michaels). The name on the place card was stamped using Papertrey Ink's fresh alphabet. The invite was created in Photoshop CS4.

Thank you Ashley for bringing us a great idea on how to use our Pocket Folds and Placecards.
