Thank You Card and Matching Box

Hi Everybody,

This vibrant shade of blue was used to create this "Thank You" card and is another that has a matching box.

For this card I have used the Quatrefoil Pattern but I have had this for quite some time and I no longer know where it would be available

The sentiment is stamped onto Fancy Tags Three 

I have used matching Diamanté "Bling" around the edge from Want2Scrap 

The sentiment was free with a magazine subscription and it is one I use time and time again

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  

I have layered two  ribbons  from  Mei Flowers  together for a special look and the sparkly centrepiece is also from WOC

The box has a triple bow on it with a flourish also from W2S and there are  several box tutorials  on my website

More tomorrow ...

Wedding Day Card

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful wedding card is one I was asked to make with very short notice and I made it to the exact specifications as requested

I took a long time over the design and I was very happy with it when it was finished.

It is in gold and white and I have used Sue Wilson Californian Collection dies to create the panel

The flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts  are a mixture of Roses, Tulips and Gysophilia

There is Guipure lace around the layers with white satin ribbon and the double bow has a gold centrepiece over the knot

I added a verse to the inside and it came with a matching box and a tag for the sender to add their own note or signature

From #6 Matting Basics A create another layer

and glue this on top of the blue layer from the previous step

Cut one of the Fancy Tags Three and I have added the matching pearl "Bling" to mine and I am going to add it lengthways on my card

Stamp and heat emboss a sentiment and cut out with the circle to fit the tag
