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

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

Instructions:

With the #7 Matting Basics A cut two pieces in white and hinge together for your base card

With #7 from Matting Basics B  cut another layer in the color of your choice. I chose a pale blue for mine.

From #6 Matting Basics A create another layer

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

(Remember that #1 is always the smallest die)

From die #4 cut a blue panel and emboss with any folder that you have in your "Stash"

With white card and #3 cut another panel and emboss this also

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

Layer up the panels as shown and I have used foam tape in between my layers

Add foam pads to the back of the sentiment and add to the card

Wrap ribbon around all the panels and then add all of this to the base card

Add in the bow and some flowers as you wish and a sparkly pearl centrepiece to cover the knot on the bow
