WEDDING CARDS

The 4th of July weekend is almost here! Hope you all beautifully blessed and safe Holiday.

It is sunny and warm here so It seems like a great time for a Summer Wedding.  Here are a few wedding cards... in Red, White, and Blue none the less (well, teal, but close enough).

 

 I saw these simple heart cards all over and wanted to try them.

    I think the Damask embossing gives it a touch of elegance.

Supply List:

• Cricut Explore in Design Space (for the hearts, bow tie, tags, and "Mr. and Mrs.")
• Cardstock  (most likely CTMH in black, red, teal, and white))
• Black ribbon
• Pearls
• Sentiment comes from the Anna Griffin "Anna's Garden and Embellishments" Cricut cartridge
• Embossing folder  (older one by Provo Craft)
• Die cut (for the label/tag on the white card) with my  Cuttlebug

I think they came out very nice.   What do you think?

Blogs and challenges I am posting these on:

• Craftin Desert Divas (Red, White and Blue Challenge)
• Little Scrap Pieces (Show it off Saturday)

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.

God Bless and Happy Scrappin'!

MORE BOX CARDS (MY WAY)

As I mentioned in my last post – I am loving the All Occasion Box Card Cartridge from Lori Whitlock. 

But…. I have my own style too, so here are some  more cards using just her base (the box part) and welding all my own cuts and other Cricut images (or web images as is the case with the Dr. Seuss ) to a long rectangle and doing my own scoring with my Cricut Explore.  

I used Spring Cottage for these cuts and welded to a base box card  

Patterned paper for the Simon Says Stamp Blog and The Diva's that cut...paper

Added a space for a persona note. 

I used Anna Griffin pearl paper.
The nice shimmer didn't show in the picture to well

 

 

I always like to add that holder for a gift card or personal note card on the back.


And who doesn't like a nice  Dr. Seuss card for graduation?  Found some perfect clip art on the web and had Cricut Design Space cut is for me (had to do just a little fussy cutting as well).   again - I added a matching gift card on back (no picture)

 

Lastly a few birthday cards

 

BOX CARDS

I have been going goo goo for the new All Occasion Box Card Cartridge from Lori Whitlock.  So here are several I have done in the last month or two.  They include Birthday, Graduation, Mother’s Day, Baby, and Wedding.  Love, love, love these box cards. 

MOTHER'S DAY CARD

 They fold up flat and the flaps flip up to keep safe for mailing.!

 I used some clear left over packaging and cut strips to give a “floating image”.

WEDDING CARD

Added embossing from an Anna Griffin Folder and some mini pearls for an extra touch - lovely! 

FOR THE GRADUATE

I added some of my own cuts for the "Class of 2016" and some balloons that were not on the original cut file.

Gift card holder added to back of box.

WELCOME LITTLE ONE

I added a coordinating gift card holder for these. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (sharing this with The Paper Players blog)

I welded two pieces together, added a fold line to give a little spot for a personnel note

Sharing this one on The Paper Players

I used the clear plastic here for the base -  love how the explore can cut through so many materials.

I used left over packaging strips again to give a “floating image”.  

I added addition Cricut cuts to come of these to give them my own touch. .

This cartridge is not included in Cricut Access and requires an additional purchase -  It is so worth it for these cute pop up boxes.

I will be posting a few more of my own designs soon.   

Shutter/Tri-Fold Card

Here is a wedding card - it was a little late (by 6 months); so I made it a ½-anniversary card.

 I used Designer’s Calendar for the for the rings cut @ 1.7 by 1 and the “U2” (not to be confused with the band) was cut from Cursive 101 @ 1.2 by 1.4.  Both were cut in silver cardstock.  The harts were also punched from silver cardstock. 

For the gift card holder, I used my new die from Emma's “My Creative Time” Embossed gift Card Holder .  I Just Love her Stuff ! (see link on side bar).

                                                                                     The label and frames are from a spellbinder’s nestablities die set and  the sentiment typed.

Add ribbons, pearls, a gem and  Presto!

                                                                              I made a matching envelope using my Martha Stewart scoreboard and Friskers corner punch for the flap.

Don’t remember where the red floral paper came from - sorry.  The black and gray papers are both from DCWV La Crème Matstack.

Directions For the tri-fold/Shutter card:  Basically you take a 6 x 12 (or 5 ½ X 12) sheet of card stock and score it at 2”, 4” 8” & 10”.  Then you cut from the 2 inch score line to the 10 inch score (at 1 ½ inches in on each long side).  Then play with it a little bit and fold to your liking.  My measurements were a little different, as I wanted it to fit Emma’s Gift card Die.

Happy Scrappin’ & God Bless!
