Wedding Table Numbers

I have been busy making various items for my next door neighbours wedding. I was given little boards with pegs on that they want to peg on to jugs that contain flowers as their table centre pieces

I wanted to incorporate elements I have used on other projects. The lattice design and pearls are on the invitations and the ribbon is on the place settings. The groom and their children are Welsh speakers so they wanted to incorporate Welsh. So I added "bwrdd" which is Welsh for table.

I covered the boards with cream card and then added the purple lattice that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I die cut the scalloped oval with a Go Kreate die from a nesting set. I added the purple die cut numbers that I cut with a Tonic die. I then printed "Bwrdd" and die cut it with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set and mounted it to a purple oval before attaching it to the board. Finally, I added the flat backed pearls and a small lilac bow.

Engagement exploding box

I had made the exploding using the instructions in my tutorial. I made this box with only two layers so the centre is big enough for the ring box. I matt and layered the first layers panels with pink then white card. I added various love die cuts on the inside of first layer and outside of second layer. I printed sentiments and die cut them with a die from a nesting set from The Works and attached them to each panel of the top layer. I have made a small box, I folded tissue paper for the top. I made a ring by die cutting with a Marianne die and adding a flat backed gem. I tied ribbon to the ring and wrapped it around the tissue so the ring stands up. I decorated the box with lace and ribbon. I used the same die cuts on the four sides of the outside, cut using a die from The Works. I decorated the lid with the same lace and ribbon as on the ring box and added the heart die cuts, I cut the hearts with dies from a Sizzix nesting set and added the sentiment.

I completed my box with various flat backed embellishments.
