Happy Wedding Card

Here's a simple card that I made for my cousin's wedding. I should have used all white, but oh, well. Also, this was not the layout that I'd originally intended. Just did not have the card mojo working last night.


cardstock: craft supply
dry embossing: Spellbinders Impressabilities
stamp: Michael's ($1 bin)
ink: Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Ink - black
ribbon: Joanns

Oh, and I forgot to add a bit of bling at the top of the cake.

Your One-Stop Paper/Scrapbooking Stop!

I love Hollo's! I love this store. I don't quite know how to describe it in terms of its contents. They have everything you need to plan and execute a party. But I go specifically for the paper supplies and envelopes.

So let me give you an idea of what they have: lots of paper and in so many varieties; textures and colors. But the best thing about the paper is that most of it is only $1 per pound!!! Love that.

I also like the variety of envelopes that they carry. They have lots colors and the sizes are extremely diverse. For example, they have 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and 6 x 6 and so many move.

Another good thing is they have stacks of cardstock precut at 5 x 8. That means I can score this paper at 4 inches and I'm ready to start card making. These stacks of 100 are $1!

They also have invitations, christmas cards, scrapbooking supplies and more. So let's say you are planning a wedding and are on a reduced budget, Hollo's is the place for you (heck, I purchased everything in the photo for $17). It will not be expensive at all.

I got to Hollo's about 2-3 times per year. But I did ask if they will take orders over the phone. They say they prefer if you send the a sample of the paper since their paper is rarely the same. Good folks and good deals.


**I was not paid to write this glowing review of Hollo's; just want to share the love
