Wedding Card by Chrissy Mac

Hello everyone. I wanted to share with you all a wedding card featuring some wonderful classic die cuts using my Cheery Lynn Designs dies. This lovely wedding couple is a must have in your craft tool kit as you just never know who might be getting married next. This was actually inspired by a lovely woman named Eudora who was marrying her true love and wanted a keepsake card for the occasion. Inside I placed a lovely picture of Eudora and her new hubby.

Weddings make me think of elegance, promises, memories and sometimes decadence. The occasion is so often attended by family and friends all dressed in their very finest no matter the culture, religion or location. Such thoughts surrounding making this card had me wanting to combine the classic elegance of cream with the metallic luster of silver. For color I added various rustic warm peach and tans. Almost makes you want to eat it, huh? Oh yeah...we are talking about making a card...uh hum. Anyways...

This card consists of 7 layers: the base card in heavy cream color, a lovely peach and cream metallic
patterned paper, a heavy silver, a light brushed gold and a warm peachy brown. I used 8 unique dies and a metal embossing plate from my Cheery Lynn Designs collection which included stacker frames, doilies, flowers, the wedding couple and I just had to use the "True Love" sweetheart candy die. See my complete die list below.

Can you guess what on this card was a silly little secret crafty move?

No? Well...okay then... I used reddish-pink sparkle nail polish on the embossed silver, the flower and the True Love heart for that extra "blingy bling bling"! After all, weddings always have some sparkle right?

The Cheery Lynn Designs dies and die sets I used are as follows:

Pierced Stacker #3 Set of 6 - XL-21

Quadrafoil Square Doily - DL314

Diamonds and Starburst - E132

Sweethearts Candy 8 Pieces Die Set - B675

Thanks so much for joining me today. I'll share more soon. If you have any questions on how this was made, please don't hesitate to ask. I read every comment and answer every question.

Wishing you peace and joy!

Wedding Day by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 4 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out. Today I have created a simple yet elegant wedding card using only three dies.

I created this elegant base using the Card Cover Maker #4 and layered gold outline corners to it.

This couple is from the I Do die. I cut one in white and one in black. I then cut the black one apart to give the groom and black suit and shoes. The brides flower arrangement was created using the Dandelions. A little bit of bling and it was done. Now how quick was that and yet so elegant.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I appreciate them.

Just Married by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here and firstly I would like to thank you all for your lovely visits and comments on my blog during the blog hop, you really made my day. Today I am sharing a Wedding card using the New Release words 'Just Married'. Let me take you through my techniques used on this card.

I used pearlised cardstock for my stacker layers and used a Silver Pen to shade all my Silver accents and scalloped layers. My top stacker layer I embossed with my Hearts Embossing Plate.

My Bride I glued on an overlay of lace and once dry replaced back into my Die to trim off the excess lace. I shaded the Happy Couple with Distress Inks and added some Bling and a Floral Bouquet.

My Chandelier was coloured with a Silver Pen and a little touch of Gold Gilding wax on the Tassles. For my candles I painted on a little Beeswax I had melted in my Meltpot, the flames were shaded with Copics and a touch of Glossy Accents added. Finishing it off with lots of bling.

Ornate Wedding Card by Julie Lavalette

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today. This week I am showcasing the wonderfully romantic 'I do' die. This die has so much versatility for use on Wedding / Anniversary and Prom cards, but equally beautiful on a Scrapbook page or Gift Box.

Having worked with the new Alpine Flourish Doily on a few cards recently, I thought it would make a beautiful ornate window frame and compliment the happy couple. I love the result and hope you do too.

Let me talk you through how I made this. I layered 2 shades of grey card onto my 8x8 ready cut scalloped card, stamping a flourish stamp over the card for a little detail to the plain cardstock adding Stickles around the perimeter.

I made my flowers, mixing and matching the Tiny Flower Kit, adding stickles into the centres. My leaves and little flourishes on the Bride's bouquet and window box are pieced from the same die used in the corner of my card.

My window I layered a piece of grey card and lace behind it, adding on my window box and layering onto my Doily. Some of you will recognise the window part of the die as it normally is decorated with the Shutters at either side.

My Groom I edged with a little Iced Spruce Distress ink to highlight the edges. My Bride, I did the same using Tattered Rose, giving her a diamanté necklace, bouquet and veil. The veil was gathered with a little stitching at the top and her floral crown was made using a little strip of paper covered in flower soft. I mounted the couple onto my card using foam pads and a little silicone glue to hold her veil at the back. The veil, I secured on the front with small dots of glue which were then covered by Flower Soft to disguise.
