Floral Wedding Card

Another wedding card. This is the card I made to send myself.

I have matt and layered the top and bottom of my 8x8in white easel card with pink then white card. I have die cut the panels for the top of my card with a Sue Wilson striplet die. I have cut 3 panels and attached them to white card. I added satin ribbon where the strips meet. I attached the completed element to the top of my card with foam pads. Using the Sara Davies Bridal Bouquet die I have made the roses in pink card and cut the foliage in green and white. I die cut the sentiment using a Tonic die and added it to a white oval that I cut with a Presscut die from a nesting set. I die cut a pink oval with the next die in the nesting set to mount the white oval.

I attached the ovals to the striplets and then assembled the floral embellishments using a hot glue gun.

I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Tonic rectangle die from a nesting set and attached it to a pink rectangle. I attached these to the base of my card using foam pads so it will act as a stopper for the easel.  I printed the date and venue and die cut it with a Presscut die and added that to the base of my card.

I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

Exploding box with cake

I have been asked to make this exploding box with a wedding card inside for a friend.

I have used the colour scheme of the wedding. I made the box using the measurements that you will find in the tutorials on my blog. I used navy card on the inside of my box and navy and white patterned paper on the outside of my box.

I printed personalised details including names, date and venue.

I printed the details and die cut them with dies from a set from The Works. I used the next size in the nesting set and navy card to cut elements so I could mount the white card with details.

I added these to each side of the box.

Wedding Exploding Box

My blog post for the new challenge over at

movingalongwiththetimes

A Wedding Cake Exploding Box.

This is my first attempt of an exploding box with a wedding cake.

It was easier than I expected

The measurements and instructions for the box is at my tutorials. I only did one layer of he box on this occasion to allow enough room for the cake and used plain card to cover the panels of my box.

I have used a template that I found on the internet and printed onto white card to make the cake,

I folded the template and glued with PVA. I used ribbon and a lace and pearl trim to decorate the cake.  I made the flowers using die cuts that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I embellished the flowers with flat backed pearls. I placed the embellishments on the edges and joins of the cake to make it look neater.

I attached the cake to the centre of box on top of a die cut scalloped circle. I used a Xcut die from a nesting set.

I printed personalised sentiments for each side of the box and cut them to fit and decorated them with the lace and pearl trim and the flowers to match the cake.

A birthday card for a friend

A basic card for a friend. I have used an image from a Hunkydory little book. I covered my 8x8in white card with green card and attached a strip of brown and white gingham card, I mounted the image onto red card and then attached it to the card. I die cut the sentiment using a Tonic die in black card. I completed my card with stars that I cut with a punch.

Another Bingo Birthday Card

I have made another card with a bingo theme.

I printed the personalised sentiment and then matt and layered my card with red and then white card with sentiment on top and white embossed card on the bottom. I embossed the white card with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I attached ribbon where the two different white finishes meet. I added red embellishments to the embossed background. I printed a bingo image and attached that to my and card and then completed my card with stars that I cut with a punch.

Golden wedding anniversary

I have made this card using the Tonic Memory Book dies. I die cut white and gold card. I die cut the heart using a Tonic die. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Presscut die and used the next size in the nesting set to cut a gold oval to mount my sentiment. I added organza ribbon and some small hearts. I die cut a stand using a Tonic die
