Last week I had a big week making wedding cards. I had 8 to make all up. Two were for a family wedding last week and one for a family friend and then Josh has 5 weddings coming up. Yes, 5!
So I thought I would share them with you. The lighting is not great for these. Sorry but I hope it gives you a good idea.
This first one uses the retired Bundle of Love DSP. I had a small piece left which I thought would work a treat AND one last little embellishment. The card base is Sahara Sand. The sentiment is from Rose Wonder. The ribbon is the Very Vanilla Satin ribbon retired also. I cut a leaf spray in Sahara Sand and in Vellum. This was for our nephew’s wedding.
This one I made for my Mother In Law to give our nephew (her grandson) as she was unwell to make a card. The hearts are from Sunshine Wishes cut from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and Rich Razzleberry card. The sentiment and the little swirly flourishes are from Floral Phrases. The main colour is Rich Razzleberry and I used some Rich Razzleberry Cotton ribbon (retired).
I made a couple of these ones below in Sweet Sugarplum using Sunshine Wishes and Floral Phrases again. This time the sentiment is from Rose Wonder. I have used the retired Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon.
These next 2 I made the same. I made 2 in Island Indigo and 2 in Crumb Cake. These cards were inspired by an idea on Pinterest.
To create this card:
I cut the flower (from the Rose Garden Thinlits) from the Whisper White card and then embossed it with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. This piece was adhered to the card mat (Crumb Cake or Island Indigo. Then I adhered the Die cut flower on to the card and adhered the whole piece to the Thick Whisper White card base. I cut a leaf spray from Crumb Cake (or Island Indigo) and also with Vellum. The sentiment is from Rose Wonder set. On these I added a little bow with either the White Baker’s Twine or Linen Thread.
Perhaps Linen Thread is not considered very elegant for weddings but based on a number of the invitations that Josh has received they are quite often very rustic in the crumb cake colour or with doilies and/or tied up with twine. So I think these were well suited.
Hope they inspire you for your next wedding cards. These will get me by for a couple of months!!
Have a great day,
Jenny
