Arty Farty Wedding Cake

I've made another cake, for my friend Angie this time.  It's an Arty Farty template and for this one I made an acetate box for a change,  I used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers in her favourite colours to decorate with hearts from Hobbycraft.  I've bought the new round cake template so shall be trying that for the next one I do.

Wedding Card for Angie and Paul.

This is the 8x8 card I made for my friend's wedding from me and the family. I was pleased with how this came out.  The backing paper is from Graphic 45's wedding/bride collection.  I used the colour of this as the theme throughout. I started with a layer of gold miri, a layer of textured card and a matt of cream card edged with Martha Sterwart punch around the page punches (woodland bird and branch).  The next layer is the backing paper which I stamped and embossed with a creative expressions flourish and holographic WOW powder.  I used versamark ink to highlight around the edges and embossed these as well with the sparkly powder. The next layer is a cream frame cut on the Cricut.  The middle piece is a computer generated sentiment cut with a Nestabilities Beaded Ovals die and mounted on gold mirri (I drew around the die and cut it out to make this gold layer as the oval was the biggest die) This is then mounted on foam on a Spellbinders Lattice Pendant diecut.  I cut some corners and layered butterflies on my Cricut.  All the edges are inked with Tattered Rose distress ink.  I added a few pearls here and there.  Inside, the verse is printed on cream card and the corners are the Martha Stewart punch.

Less is More Challenge#1 - Pink, white and black

A CAS card using some free stamps from a magazine which I've had for ages. I used Distress Ink - Tattered Rose - to colour and my Design Runner to print the sentiment. I have been invited to a wedding in April so will be sending this off forthwith. I couldn't resist a few pearls to cheer it up a bit!

I'd like to enter this for a new blog challenge called Less is More. It's their first challenge and the theme is pink, white and black

 

And..... while I'm here look out for something sweet happening on this blog at the weekend ;) Shh.......

Wedding Card - No 2

I made this card at a request for a wedding card for a colleague of my hubby. She wanted it the same design as this one but needed it to be pink.

Unusual Golden Wedding Card.

The card in its box

The verse on the little book.

The inside card insert

The spine

The box and matching tag

Open to reveal inner card

Homemade seed packet with real seeds.

This was a real challenge - a golden wedding card with the themes: fishing, cinema, gardening and reading!!! A challenge if ever there was one. So this is what I did:

Firstly the card is like a book, the main image is the poster from the film 'A river runs through it' for the fishing/cinema aspect. I photoshopped the blurb to read Golden Film Productions and changed the director's name to the card recipients. The front of the card closes by slotting into 3 hearts one of which has a bouquet made from flowers from Hobbycrafts. Inside I attached another card. I made a little bookatrix book with a verse about a garden by Thomas Moore. I made a sunflower seed packet and called it 'Golden Anniversary' which I filled with sunflower seeds. I thought they could grow them next year. The letters were cut on my cricut as was the little sunflower on the packet. This card is fixed inside the first and opens to reveal the insert. The spine of the card reads Golden Wedding. I then had to make a box as it wouldn't go in an envelope! I think I covered all the briefs!! The friend who it was made for was thrilled with it and it's going to her partner's parents next week so I hope they like it too.

Samantha's Wedding Card

A crafting friend got married recently and this is the A5 card I made. The stamped image is the bride from Whiff of Joy, my first WoJ stamp. I used the masking technique to place her on a Whiff of Joy swing. Both were coloured with Promarkers. I used a rectangle nestability to partially cut her out. I cut two mats from silver card and papermania rose paper, embossed the silver one with my cuttlebug 'Tapestry' folder and mounted her on top. The monograms are cut from my 'Tie the Knot' cartridge on the Cricut. I trimmed the bottom with lace from Hobbycraft and used a computer generated sentiment mounted on a piece of Lattice diecut from a Spellbinders die. I used pearls, hobbycraft and wild orchid crafts flowers and diamond stickles to finish.

A special wedding card

I had a request from a friend to make a card for her to give to her husband on their wedding day - what a responsibility. The flowers and embellishments are mounted on a Spellbinders Lattice die-cut in white pearl card. This is mounted on a white card panel with Martha Stewart Scalloped Dot borders trimmed with ribbon from Hobbycrafts. This is matted onto silver card and trimmed with embossed punched hearts, cream pearl hearts and pearls. The sentiment is computer generated and cut with an oval nestability and mounted on a small die cut from the Lattice set. I made a box for it from Kanban white embossed card which was tied with ribbon. She loved it, thank goodness!

Another wedding card

Another card for a wedding. This is an 8inch cream square card. I've used the sizzix embossed cake again on a nestability oval matted onto a cuttlebug 'birds' embossed rectangle. The flowers are from Prima with tiny rose centres from WOC. I've used ribbon from Hobbycrafts and pearls to finish. The sentiment is printed on the computer, cut with a nestability die and matted onto a die cut shape from a spellbinders Lattice die.

Wedding Card No3

Another A4 card in a cream and white theme to go with the cream Tilly cake. The embossed cake is part of the Sizzix Wedding embossing folder set this time on an oval Nestability and a Cuttlebug heart embossed panel. The sentiment is cut on the Cricut and the border is my Martha Stewart deep punch. I used a piece of ribbon and heart punches from Hobbycrafts and I made a bouquet from Wild Orchid Crafts roses. The bird is from Handy Hippo, isn't it pretty. I used pearls and gems to finish.

Wedding Card No2

Another large A4 card this time to go withe the red and white Tilly cake. I've used the same elements as the last one but in a different way. The top border is a MS butterfly border punch. The heart is punched out and embossed with a sizzix heart and matted on a nestie. The small heart punch and the rose is from Hobbycraft. I used taupe pearls on this one. Monograms as before.

Wedding Card No 1

This is a large A4 card for the staff at school to sign. This one goes with the car. The large sentiment is a Sizzix embossing folder (A6) from a Wedding set which I used through my cuttlebug. The monograms are cut on the Cricut using the 'Tie the Knot' cartridge. The borders are a Martha Sterwart deep border punch - lattice border and a MS heart border. I used lace and ribbon down the edge and a fabric covered chipboard bird and pearls to finish. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - I just love them.

Colin Car

Here's the third wedding item I made recently. There are 3 staff members getting married this summer in our school. This is my second Colin Car from Arty Farty and this time it's in West Ham Utd colours for our Deputy Head. He liked it so much he's going to put it on the top table at the wedding! It's decorated with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Tilly Cake No 2

This is the second cake with a cream and white theme this time. The photos aren't great again but you get the idea. I'm going to make a Golden Wedding themed one next. I used Kanban embossed card again, it comes in cream or white in 12x12 card and is absolutely gorgeous.
