Wedding invitation

I have been asked to make a couple of wedding invitation samples. I'm trying to make samples that are effective but are not too labour intensive. 

I have used a 6 x6in cream card. I have cut red card with the Tonic square vine base affections die set and the Mr & Mrs die in the centre.

Son 13th birthday card

My son adores our new puppy. I thought using this photo was very apt, we went to the beach for the first time on the weekend and they both enjoyed every minute. 

I have used a 8x8in white card and matt and layered it with tan card and white embossed card. I have embossed the white card with an Embossalicious folder. I printed the photograph and layered it on brown card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Tonic rectangle from a nesting set.  I die cut tan card with the next size in the nesting set. The numbers and today are cut using Tattered Lace dies. I assembled my card then completed with stars that I have cut using a punch.
