Hello friends!
It is my turn again to share a project over Altenew Card Blog.
I hope that you stop by and check it out. As we approach our summer months in North America, that doesn't mean I have to stop my fun indoor projects! One of my favorite things to do during the summer is turning special photos into photo cards! It is a fun and meaningful activity to do with kids, especially. With the steps below, I hope that you will be inspired to create your very own special photo cards!

When the Whimsical Flowers & Quotes Stamp Set was released, I knew it was ideal for a photo card. It has an ornate and lovely hand-drawn borders with a fairly large opening in the center. Not only it is suitable for coloring enthusiasts, it is also ideal for creating a photo card! Here are my 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Select a photo and theme: I chose my daughter and son-in-law's wedding photo from last fall. The design of Whimsical Flowers and Quotes Stamp Set pairs well with their elegant clothing. The white-embossing on Vellum Translucent Paper matches my daughter's dress and works well as a photo frame.
Step 2: Fussy cut, trim, fit and arrange: after embossing the image (in Pure White Embossing Powder) on Vellum Translucent Paper, I cut around the frame from the inside. I trimmed off a few small parts of leaves and branches to make the photo fit in better. When cutting detailed images, I've learned to rotate the paper as I cut.
Step 3: Embellish: the Satin White Sequins are beautiful. I only needed a few of them for that extra sparkle.
Photo cards are perfect for sending to relatives and friends who live far away. I think any of them would LOVE to receive this family photo card!
💗I would love it if you can leave me your comment over Altenew Card Blog.💗
Don't forget about this deal--last day today! Thank you for stopping by!

Beautiful photo and card!
Oh so beautiful...ideal frame for this wonderful picture of the happy day. Looks like it was made for the photo. Using vellum was the perfect choice of material. What a terrific idea.
This is such a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
I lovvvve this idea and wonderful outcome! The vellum floral frame really suits the photo perfectly :) Thank you for sharing the steps with us!! <3 A quick question, what size did you print the photo in? 4x6 and trimmed?
Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful feedback! Much appreciated!
Karthikha, the wedding photo is in standard size (4"x 6"). You can use any size of photos. It all depends on the focal point, the stamp set and the size of your card. Have fun!!
This framed photo csrd is amazing, Virginia! I love the lacy flowers on vellum ~
it's just perfect for the beautiful Wedding photo of your daughter and son-in-law :-)
For my wedding thank you cards, I knew I wanted to add pictures from my wedding on them. However, I wish I had your example and idea back then. I just love this look the vellum, it looks so pretty against the picture. Stunning! I will have to use this idea for christmas cards. (Although, it look me 6 months to send out my thank you notes from my wedding! So might not get them until after christmas. A late New Years holiday card. lol But it would be soo worth it.
This is beautiful--love the white embossing on vellum.
Gorgeous! Genius idea!
Absolutely STUNNING! Thank you for sharing your family with us! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL couple!
The Whimsical Flowers and Quotes stamp set is absolutely perfect to use for the wonderful wedding photo. I love white embossing on vellum anyway, but this set with all the flourishes, curlicues, etc is just amazing. What a wonderful gift it will make!
