stampin up!

It certainly doesn’t feel like we’re heading into June. It’s c-c-cold in Toronto today. But despite the weather, June is indeed around the corner and you know what that means: Wedding season is upon us. Whether you’re planning your own big day or are helping someone who is, you know that weddings can be enormously expensive. Even a small, intimate wedding seems to see costs racking up at every turn. If you’re looking to cut some costs without sacrificing the style and beauty of your big day, consider this. Stampin’ Up! is an online resource that can help you personalize everything from invitations to menus, place cards and bonbonnieres. They offer gorgeous stamps and card stock and you can order personalized items at stampinup.com. Discover your inner artista and save some money at the same time. Handmade items are not only so much more personal (your guests will love them!) but this also ensures that everything is truly unique and one-of-a-kind – just like you! So invite friends and family over and make a weekend of it. Check out some of the things you can make below. For more information and to order, visit stampinup.com.

etsy4After just blogging about the mosaic eggs at Etsy, I couldn’t not share these ones with you, too. How adorable! These lovely little guys come in a set of three and make such a sweet decoration for the Easter season. Place in a bowl for a centerpiece or buy multiple sets and string them together to make a decorative streamer. Available on Etsy (but originating in Harrisville, NH) a set of three costs $10.50 and come in three bright spring colours. If this lovely craft has inspired you, don’t forget to unleash your own creative spirit this weekend by trying these easy projects:

Hydrangea eggs

Silver and gold eggs

Tiny chalkboard eggs
