Happy Wedding Day

Inspiration for this card came from two places – this stamp by Rubber Hedgehog

and this card I made earlier.

I loved the champagne glass bride and groom stamp, but it was too small for my 5×7 card layout.  I modified the “clothes” from the heart shapes to fit the glasses cut from a Die-namics die set called “Layered Champagne Glass” by My Favorite Things.

The arch is from a file called “My Big Day SVG Collection” by svgcuts.  I used Recollections white and black card stock along with Gina K Metallic Silver.  The patterned paper is called “Blue Floral” by Recollections. White tulle and ribbon finished it off.

Click on the photo below to see the shine from the metallic card stock a little better.  (The white looks more gray in this light.  Sigh…)

The very first challenge over at Do-Al (1) Creatives is “Something New” which includes new car, new apartment, new year, baby, etc.  My wedding card celebrates a new life together.  Paired with the challenge topic is a blog hop so we can get to know the design team.  Pop on over and check out the inspiration by the design team and in the gallery.

Over at Die Cut Divas, the challenge this month is to make your project sentiment free.  Dies and/or embossing folders must also be used.

Over at the Mod Squad Challenge, “Show Your Love” is the theme this week.  (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

Bingham Heart Wedding Card

This 5×7 “Clean and Simple” wedding card features the beautiful Bingham Heart die (style # 98499) from Memory Box.

I originally envisioned this card being white on white as I see and admire so many cards like that on Pinterest, but whenever I try to make one, I feel like it is so bland.  I’m not sure what I am doing wrong (I tried embossing folders and thicker layers for my die cut and panels), but I always bail and add an additional color.  For this card, I ended up using Gina K Designs Metallic Silver card stock along with the white.

I hit the card with lots of light to try to show some of the sparkle and shine below.  Not a great photo, but hopefully you get the idea…

The greeting is a stamp from the “Pleasant Plurals” set by Gina K Designs which I heat embossed using versamark ink and Gina K white embossing powder.  I added some Recollections silver rhinestone adhesive gems to some of the flowers on the wreath to finish it off.

I’m really happy with the way this card came out, but I do intend to keep working on an all white version!  We’ll see…..

The challenge over at The Paper Players is “Clean and Simple: flowers” where we are to use a flower on a CAS design.

Thanks for checking out my card post!
