Wedding card

I have been busy making requests today.

I have made this card for a wedding in red to match the colour scheme of the wedding. The card is a 8x8in easel card. On the top I have matt and layered in red and white. I have die cut the valance, trellis and couple using Cheery Lynn dies. I have cut the trellis in red and white and slightly offset them when sticking them down. I cut the bride in red and then the groom in dark navy. The bottom has been matt and layered with red and white card. I have die cut the scalloped hearts with Sizzix dies and the flourish with a Cheery Lynn die. The white scalloped heart will include a personalised sentiment when I have been given the details. I completed the card with flat backed pearls.

New home card

A new home card for my neighbours. I have matt and layered a scalloped edge card with red and white gingham card and embossed white card. I have used a brick effect embossing folder that I had free with a magazine. I have die cut the door, window, curtains, window box and grass with Memory Box dies. I have cut the tiny flowers with a Cheery Lynn die. The number on the door is the number of the house the family are moving into, I have cut this with a Tattered Lace die. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate scalloped oval die and die cut the next size in the nesting to layer the sentiment. I completed the card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

Another anniversary card, this time for my sister-in-law and her husband
