Kristin's Touches at Stacy's Wedding

I was fortunate enough to get to make a few things for my sister's wedding that was held on October 15 in Santa Monica, CA.  It a gorgeous and magical wedding and I was honored to have been able to contribute a few little things! 

Sign for the bathroom goodie baskets.  They put these in a silver frame.

Candy cards. They are three layers of paper- black, silver, and white.  She used the fleur de lis on a few other wedding elements, so we continued it on the cards.


I made the cards and the Trick or Treat Sign at the wedding.




 Boxes filled with jelly beans.  She initially wanted a flower on top, so I came up with this design with a small handmade flower.  She opted to go with plain ribbon instead and I can't say I was too upset about not making 175 handmade flowers!! 


Rose Petal Cones- these hung on the back of the chairs along the aisle at the ceremony and were filled with white rose petals.  It is made with velum, wrapped in tulle, and then ribbon threaded through.


I can't make this picture turn, but here is an up close look at the trick or treat sign.  It was a multi-step process.  I started with using my cricut to make a damask stencil.  I used a light silver paint and the stencil to create a subtle damask background.   Then I used a roller stamp in black ink to create the border.  After rolling the design, I used a sponge and black ink around the borders.  Then I used by cricut to cut out 2 skeletons.  One was black and one silver.  I glued the black one on the canvas.  I glittered the silver skeleton and applied foam to the back so that it was 3-D, then put it on top of the black skeleton.  I cut out the letters on the cricut.  I hand flocked the "Trick or Treat" with Martha Stewart black flocking.  I glued on all the letters and the sign was finally complete!  Then I made another one for the other side of the candy bar.  It was really great in person.
