The Royal Blog Tour was certainly a HUGE success! Thank you all for stopping by! I’ll be posting my Blog Candy winner on Thursday, July 30th! Stay tuned!
Wow! The Royal Blog Tour is finally here! I’m excited to be able to show you some samples from the new Stampin’ Up! set, Wedding Sweet! This set was on my to-buy list even before my son announced his engagement a few weeks ago. Now, I’m sure I will be using it a LOT! This first sample shows the elegance of the Wedding Sweet set used in a frame to commemorate the wedding of a family friends’ daughter! It shows off the elegance of this set by using Black Craft embossed on Shimmer Paper.
My second sample shows that this set isn’t just for weddings! Here is a cheerful Thank You card appropriate for any occasion! It uses two of the stamps in Wedding Sweet.
My final sample is a playful Note Card! I will be using a variation of this for my swap card at Convention this year! This sample uses three out of the six new In Colors along with the large stamp in Wedding Sweet!
If you like what you see today, make sure to put my Blog in your favorites and visit often. You can also subscribe to my Blog and get my new posts in your email so you don’t miss anything! See my subscribe box in the upper left corner.

I like the 3rd project b/c it is simple yet elegant and colorful at the same time.
I love all the projects, but I think my favorite is the thank you card. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite is the wedding frame. I would never have thought to use a stamped image as one of the picture spots, but it ties everything all together. Great work.
I must say that I like the frame project best. but they are all wonderful!
jenscull@yahoo.com
I LOVE the last project, playful note cards! The colors are great and I love the use of the stamp for something besides wedding cards. Thanks for your ideas!
Connie, I love the way you showed that the “Wedding” set can be used for any card, such pretty projects, I think I like the last card the best, so colorful and out of the box.

You have some really great projects, it makes it have to pick a favorite. The adorable whale card caught my eye so I’ll have to say it’s my favorite right now, LOL! I’m going to bookmark your blog so I can come back again!
Mandas1610 at sbcglobal.net
I have your blog bookmarked in my blog, and came to the hop through your blog first, but decided to do everything in order, and you are almost the last place I am leaving a comment on fabulous creations. Took like forever to get back to you! I really liked how you made up the wedding frame, but your last card really draws my eyes to it! Major eye candy for me! Love the masked circles with the floral image stamped on top. Beautiful colors!

Connie,
The picture frame is my favorite. Just beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win.
it’s difficult to pick, but I just love the note card. the colors are gorgeous and the card is just so cute!
Like all your projects, but the last card is my favorite with the spotlights of color. It reminds me of fireworks and any wedding should be the start of a lifetime of exciting fireworks, right? How appropro! Thank you for a great stop on this fine tour!

My favorite? ALL!!! Hee hee. Possibly the third. Putting the circle of color behind really sets the stamp off.
Just because I like the other card…love the use of ribbon with the rhinestone

Picking a favorite is always so hard. I would have to say the frame because it is such a beautiful remembrance. Thanks for sharing your great projects and for the chance to win your blog candy. My E-mail is lisawhs808 at aol dot com.
All of your samples are beautiful, but I love the elegance of the scrapbook page… lots of pictures, but not overwhelming.
thanks, Tricia

I love all your projects. Love the colors you chose. First one is favorite if I have to choose. Thanks for sharing. Mary
Well both cards are really nice but I like the second one the best because the color circles make the design pop off the page.
I’m following the royal blog tour, such fun.
The set you chose is great, and my favorite is the wedding sweet, with the shadow stamps; unique idea and colorful, thanks for sharing. I will have to add your site to my blog reader.
Connie–great samples! I really like the clean look of the spotlight card. I would never think to do that! Thanks for sharing your art!

Connie,
I love all 3 projects, but my favorite is the 3rd one. I love the spotlighting! Thanks for sharing!
Connie, I love ALL of your samples! My favorite is the frame (1st sample) – I never would have thought of using a section of a collage frame that way! How creative!!!
I love the playful note card. The three colors look great together and the card is clean and elegant. I like the fact that the wedding set is versatile. Thank you for a chance to win.
I liked all your projects and color combos. Thanks for the offer and have a great week!
All projects are fabulous! Thanks for inspiration!
LOVE your creations. And, thank you for making something not “wedding”! I am SO guilty of not seeing outside the box. I never would have thought of using this for other than a wedding!
I like the the framed wedding pictures – so elegant.
thanks for the inspiration!

Love the fun colors in the 3rd card. The punches of color behind the ‘flowers’ is the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Connie – it is always hard to answer your question of which one of the projects is the favorite. I love all of yours but especially the framed picture. Cute. Love the color combination’s on the cards.
deborah345 underscore 2 at yahoo dot com
I love card number 3 for how easy it looks.
You’re kidding Connie! Which card is my favorite??? Each one is my favorite, each for a different reason. Silly you. I’ll be looking for your swap card at Convention. Thanks for not disappointing me in your samples. Silly me—you never disappoint. 🙂 ~Blythe
I really liked all of your projects, but my favorite was #3. the colors just popped out at me.

I just love the Playful Note card! This could be used for dozens of things just by changing the colors! I found so much on your blog that I can “case” that I subscribed! I’ll be back!
i have to choose the second project because of the new dsp and the in colors. rush8888@att.net
The third card is my favorite. Love the colors.
I too have no fav, I love them all. My daughter got married last year and I still have not started on the pix. This gives me inkspiration to get moving. Now I have to order the stamps! Thanks a bunch.

I loved the way you used the colors together! My favorite I guess is the note card, although it is hard to choose just one. They’re all great.
I love your choice of colors for this set, it is right on top of my list for must haves and I will be ordering it soon. Thanks for all the great ideas.
I particularly like the 3rd- the note card! Those colored dots behind the flowers are so cute!
Stunning projects Connie! TFS
My favorite of your great papercrafting is the Wedding shadowbox…

The note card is my favorite. The dots of color behind the stamps just makes it.

The third “note” card is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the card posted on July 17th, A Stitchin Time. If I have to pick from the three shown for the tour, I would pick the second one, Thank You card. Cathy Miller, Baltimore.
Great ideas, thank you.
Connie, your work is beautiful…and it really is difficult to choose a favorite. But since you ask I’ll have to say the 3rd because it is just so vivid and eye-catching. I look forward to visiting your blog again for more ideas! thanks.
It was hard to chose a favorite. But I think the third card was the best. Carmen

Thanks for being on the tour!

Scrapbook page was very elegant Thanks..
I like the thank you note the best and maybe it’s because of the dp… or at least I assume that’s dp?? It really helps make the card.

My favorite project is the card where you used the large stamp from the Wedding Sweet set with 3 of the new in colors. I saw this stamp set and thought of so many other project possibilities besides wedding. Your projects are great. I can’t wait to come back and see more. Thanks for sharing.

barney595@yahoo.com
I really like the wedding frame. I love when we can incorporate our stamps into other projects. great job on all your cards
My favorite one is “The More The Merrier”! I love your unique choices of color scheme for this Christmas card! I’m always looking for other colors rather than always using the same old red/green combo, so I really enjoyed seeing how you did this one! I may wind up borrowing your colors to do my own cards this year! lol!
Thanks for inviting us to enter for your blog candy.
