Cascade Wedding Card

Cascade Wedding Card

Cascade Wedding Card wwDSC_3119.jpg

As I mentioned in my last post, I was asked by a woman to make a custom wedding card for her daughter who is getting married in a few weeks.  I wanted to make a few different samples since I wasn’t sure exactly what she wanted.  This is sample number 2.

This card is called a Cascade Card.  It folds flat for mailing, but the interlocking panels can be pulled out slightly when displaying it to add interest and depth. Continue reading

Lace Pop-Up Wedding Cake Card

Lace Wedding Cake Pop-Up Card zDSC_2859.jpg

I was asked by a woman to make a custom wedding card for her daughter who is getting married in a few weeks.  The color scheme of the wedding is navy, grey, ivory, and burlap, and her daughter is wearing an ivory lace dress.  She liked the pop-up cake card I made a while back (HERE) so I thought I’d make a sample of one with these colors.

Wine Note Card

Wine Note Card

Wine Note Card yyyDSC_1975

This clean and simple note card features the “Wine, Vine, Bottle, Grape, and Glass” custom rubber stamp by wood Q.

I really loved this image when I saw it on amazon, but I did not realize, when I ordered it, that the image itself is the negative (recessed) and that you are really stamping the background.  I actually really love the look of this negative image, but because there is so much rubber, I needed to use my MISTI to stamp several times to get the nice solid image you see on the card.  And in case you are wondering, the actual size of the stamped image is 3.5cm x 5.9cm (1 3/8″ x 2 5/16″) and not 16 square kilometer to 20 square kilometer as listed!

I stamped my image onto a white piece of card stock with Papertrey Ink Scarlet Jewel ink and used the coordinating Scarlet Jewel card stock for the large mat.

A Merry Little Wish

(inside: for lots of joy at Christmas)

The layout for this card was inspired by this sketch from Mojo Monday:

Mojo Monday 462

The stamped images are from the “Festival of Trees” set (retired?) from Stampin’ Up.  The Christmas tree was stamped with Gina K Kraft ink and the greeting with Charcoal Brown.

The card base and all the mats are Recollections Kraft card stock.  The inside panel is Gina K Designs Sandy Brown.  All the patterned papers are by “The Paper Studio” from Hobby Lobby – Gold Wedding Stripes, Gold Wedding Ornate, Gold Wedding Texture, and Antique Brocade.

The circles were cut with dies from the Spellbinders “Standard Circles” (large and small) sets.  I created cut files for the tree and its mat which were cut on my Silhouette.  I used a personal trimmer for the rest of the panels.

I made boxed sets of this card design.  A lot of cutting and pasting!!

Baseball Box Card wwDSC_2112

This baseball box card is from the “Father’s Day Box Cards” SVG Kit by SVGCuts. The kit contains several different box card projects with themes that are perfect for Father’s Day or that could be used year round. In addition to this baseball card, there is a golf cart card (which I previously made), a toolbox card, a BBQ grill card, and a generic card with stars. The kit contains the svg files that you can cut with your electronic die cutting machine, and you can choose the papers and embellishments. Once all the pieces are cut out, you assemble them into an amazing dimensional card! A tutorial VIDEO is provided to make assembly a breeze.

I made this card for my son’s birthday.  The greeting I added to the star element is from the “Just Fore You” stamp set by CC Designs stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown ink.

The card stock I used was all from Gina K Designs:  Sandy Beach, Grass Green, Charcoal Brown, Cherry Red, White, and Metallic Gold.  I swiped Gina K Kraft ink across the bats to give them a wooden appearance.

There is a panel on the back where you can write or stamp a message to the recipient.

The stamp I used on this card is from the “All About You” set from Gina K Designs and was stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown Ink.

Box Cards fold flat to fit into a regular envelope, and depending on the embellishments that you choose, they may not even require extra postage (if you make them light and flat enough).
