Two tone floral wedding card

I have to confess, I did not enjoy making these 7 x 7 inch cards at all. I had five or six attempts at this card before I came up with something I was happy with.  I am glad I persevered, I think these have turned out quite well. I do hope the bride and groom will like the one they receive.

 

I had intended for these to be single layer cards. I masked off the centre strip to keep it clean, unfortunately  I stamped over the masking tape so often, the ink started to seep through and under the the tape. So I had to resort to stamping the Mr & Mrs on fresh strips of card and  place them over the inky marks.

I 've listed a lot of stamps sets used in the making of these cards, but I only used one foliage stamp from each set, apart from the two tone florals.

The card below started off as another 7 x 7 inch card, but I managed to get inky finger marks on it where they couldn't  be hidden or disguised.  

I decided I would try something different to try and save a portion of my work rather than put the whole thing in the bin.  So I cut off the bottom section, and use it on it's side.

I don't find this one quite so appealing, so I wouldn't use this for an important occasion like a wedding .

The funny thing is... I found out yesterday that the colours I chose to create these cards are very close to the brides colour scheme for the wedding.
 

Sharon and Terry's Wedding Card.

This card measures 8 x 6 inches , I made this one  a while a go for a friends who got married this yesterday.

I used a lily of the valley stamp for the image on this card. I coloured the image with Copic markers and then die cut the image using oval dies.

 The background was created  by using two deep border die by Sue Wilson and running one down each side of a piece of white card stock.

The flowers were purchased from Hobbycraft and the horseshoe die used was from a wedding set of dies by First Edition.



I chose purple and white for this card as they are Sharon's wedding colours.
I did make and decorate a box to house this card, but forgot to  take a photograph of it.

Wedding Shutter Card.

I have to say this rather elaborate card and it's gift bag took up all my free time for over  a week.

Making all the panels for this card seem to take an age,

An old school friend asked me to make this card for an up and coming family wedding, 

The brief for the card was:  one red rose, shamrock , 4 bees and  cupcakes.

(For a closer look at this photo click on the photo.)

Lots of layering, heat embossing, hot foiling, punching and die cutting in this card.

The 3D elements on this card, meant it required something deeper and more robust than a standard envelope.

So I created this wedding handbag from pearly card for the card to be delivered in. 

I confess,, it took about 3 attempts for me to get this just right.

The closure on this bag is a very strong, rare earth magnets  concealed in the liner of the bag.

Wedding Card

I have had this die set for a while now,  but I  haven't had the chance to do anything with until recently.
It's a floral heart die from Stampin up that also has two  single flower dies (in different sizes) that come with it.

I chose Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo to colour the flowers on this card to correspond with the colour of the Roses in the wedding bouquets. 

I cut a piece of ivory card 5 1/2  x 5 1/2 and cut out the floral heart, then  glued the  negative piece of card  ( not the heart )  onto the front of my base card. 



I cut the heart out again this time in silver card, added a little glue to the back of the silver heart and set it  into ivory cut out .

I cut the floral heart out again, this time in green and snipped of some of the leaves and adhered a little foliage to the underside of each orange flowers.

Personalized Wedding Card

My First card using hot foiling.
I don't think, I would do this in Lilac again though.
An excellent way of personalizing cards.
