To Have And to Hold

A Slider Pop-Up Wedding Card.
The Bride and Groom image is stamped and embossed with black embossing powder. I also add glitter to the bride's gown to make it sparkle.

Wedding Card Project

These first five pictures of the box card are my latest update. The card's finally decorated with embellishments made from cut outs. This is one of the sides....

The top...

I personalized the card by putting pictures of the bride and groom...

and stick messages in the layered panels...

A great card project to make and greater still, a pleasure to give to an endearing couple as a wedding gift.

I'm taking my sweet time decorating this Wedding Card Box. The wedding cake and bride's bouquet are embellished and colored.

Lots more to be done with all three layers of the exploding box.

will update later....

Roses are red

I was playing around with Jeart 1401035 Frame/Goblet, can actually do so much with this scallop frame die. Also used here is Jeart Lace #49 border.

I twisted some wire on a wire jig for hangers.

Invitation Card

Sharing some ideas on making invitation cards for all occasion. I'm making these as wedding invitation cards - wordings covered to protect privacy :) I quilled some flowers and leaves as embellishments. The envelopes are stamped.

Wedding Invitation Card

I love working with colors. Any color is a beautiful color to me and this card is made with gold colored paper. I love the tiny envelope which is cut out from Jeart Envelope and the frame as background is Jeart Rectangle Scallop Frame. These dies make a great collection as you can come up with soooooo many card creation with them. The images are Studio G clear stamps, simply the easy way to put messages on cards.

Wedding Invitation Card

The standout of this card is the hearts embellished with sequins. It's simple to make, just cut out heart shape and glue sequins and beads over it, mount over foam and cut around with craft scissor with segregated edges. You'll love the embellished heart on cards for various occasion. It's hard to get the right color of the real card in photos and I hope you get the idea.

Sweet Wedding Invitation Card

Another design for wedding invitation in one of my favourite colors, PINK.

Wedding Invitation Card

A dear church friend has requested that I help her make Wedding Invitation cards for her precious daughter's upcoming Big Day. I have never made wedding invitation card and it makes me nervous thinking of making "formal" cards for giving out. However, I love the challenge of making cards for all occasion so I tell myself why not. I've to make more than 20 cards and I get bored easily making too many cards with one design so I might have to come up with a few designs and get inspiration from other cardmakers, books, magazines....

I love lilies for wedding bouquet...did I have lilies for my wedding bouquet?...gotta ask my better half if I did or didn't. It's been over 21 years that we are married and I can't remember the details :( Anyway, the lilies are made from heart shapes, one bigger one for the lillies and one for the bottom part (whatever it's called lol....)

Wedding Pop Up Card

I'm having so much fun with pop ups and stamping that I end up making this card. I cut out the embossed heart/bird from Jeart die to create a frame for message.

Can't see it very well but the bridal dress has silver glitter so this picture doesn't do justice to the real card..LOL...I've also left the inside card blank to fill in messages. I've yet to create a cover for this wedding card.

Wedding

Red gown for a Chinese wedding, that's what I intended the card to signify. But my son says the groom doesn't dress up like a Chinese so it looks like a cross-cultural wedding. My husband thinks it's an Indian wedding, the bridal gown all red and glittering... :) lol...Doesn't matter, does it? After all, we're living in a peaceful, multi-cultural country and I have had lots of fun making the card.

Pretty ribbons help dress up the Jeart 1710037 - Dress#4 die shape.

Anniversary Card

I made this card for a dear couple who are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary this coming weekend. It's a joy and honor to be invited to celebrate with them their twentieth year into marriage. If you can love someone with the kind of love that the bible teaches in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 it shows you're really committed to a relationship and demonstrating unconditional love to make someone really happy.

Inside the card it reads:
What are the keys to a happy, strong marriage?
A united purpose to serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15 in the bible says:"...choose today whom you will serve...But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord."
Commitment.
"Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together." Matthew 19:4-6
Faithfulness. Without faithfulness there is no real trust or intimacy.
"Drink water from your own well - share your love only with your wife." Proverbs 5:15
"Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery." Hebrews 13:4
A healthy sex life.
"Kiss me again and again, for your love is sweeter than wine...Bring me into your bedroom, O my king..My lover is like a sachet of myrrh lying between my breasts." Songs of Songs 1:2-4
HAPPY 20th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

D.I.Y. WEDDING BLISS

This year, my husband and I will be celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary. Time flies. We received many wedding cards from friends and relatives near and far to celebrate with us our special "I do" day. Vows made are meant to be kept in good times and bad times, in health and in sickness till death do we part. It's during those "bad" days that I take out all the cards to remind me of that one special day that meant so much to me. My dream came true and surely, other dreams can come true as well and they still do.

This is a pretty simple card to make. Get the papers and cardstock ready. If you have a printer at home you can go to www.papercraftinspirationsmagazine.co.uk for free download of fabulous pattern papers.

Roll out die cuts from Jeart 1401035 Frame#1/Goblet, 1202558 Love #2, Box 3-ornament#1 & 1202555 Flowers #8. I use embossed paper and foam for cut outs as well.

Cut out with Jeart 1401037 Tuxedo die shape and 1710037 Dress#4 and another for backing. The above ribbon is a sample of what I have used, you can pick your own choice of ribbons, they'll look equally pretty.

For the birds, I emboss with Jeart 3600038 Peace & Love embossing die and then cut out the birds. You can also cut out the ribbon for extra decoration.

Roll out the Jeart 1710008 Ring die shape and replace the paper jewelry with clear buttons instead. You can find these buttons at shops that sell tailoring materials.

The tuxedo and gown can be left as they are (refer to my other wedding card) or you can draw out faces and hair and body parts to create a full human figure. I hand drew a veil on tracing/vellum paper.

I use sticky foam for the 3-D look. Cut small pieces of the foam tape and stick all around cut outs. I do it with most of the cut outs.

Wrap the ribbon around the gown to give the gown a full dress look. Secure the back with double sticky tape.

Assemble and decorate the cut outs as you wish.

I arranged mine to look like this.

Jeart embossing peace and love, bookmark bouquet - vellum/tracing paper is also used for flower cut outs

This card was made with cute embellishments attached to it. The lace border was created with Fiskar border punch.

The wedding gown and rings are from Jeart shape dies. I put clear buttons on the rings to look like jewelry. The gown is wrapped in ribbon to turn into wedding gown.
