Wedding Card

A very simple and formal wedding card, and I got to use my Slice to cut out the letters.

it is sometimes easier than to take out he cricut...

I used some shinny card stock to mimic the tuxedo, and added some texture to the background so the Mrs letter would not be too washed out.

The tuxedo needed a bow tie and some buttons, and the Mrs got a pearl necklace made with some loose pearls.

It was a fun card to make!

Father's Day Tuxedo

FATHER'S DAY...
... tuxedo

Between you and me, that would be the day... the father in our family must have worn a tuxedo, twice in his life and each time, it was a painful experience to get him to wear one.

Et pourtant...
he looks so good in one.

I found that idea on this wonderful blog:

http://www.cantstopmakingthings.com/2011/06/rich-dadrich-dad.html

and made a couple of templates to make it easier to reproduce.

 I didn't quite follow the directions from the blog, since I didn't want my card to open the way it does there.

 I just made it a regular A2 card with a tuxedo on the front part.

The black card stock is a glossy one from Kelly paper, as well as the red one.

 The shirt is in linen.

I used a ribbon from Michaels for the bow tie.

Until next time...

Wedding Couple

WEDDING COUPLE...

I had a lot of requests on the way I made this card. Unfortunately I didn't write anywhere how I did it... so let me trace back my steps...

Below are two templates, which dimensions are perfect for a 6 X 6 trifold card, to fit in a 6.5 X 6.5 envelope.

The black card stock is 12 X 6, scored at 3 and 9.

Inside the middle panel, I added a 5 7/8 X 5 7/8 white piece of card stock with a "A Day to Remember" stamped sentiment.

 Here is the wedding dress template (it should come out as 5 7/8 X 5 1/2): I cut out two pieces, the bottom part and the top part, and I run a white ribbon at the waist. 

For the tuxedo shirt, I used this little template below in the same card stock than the wedding dress and made two matching lapels in black on each side of the shirt. I do not have an actual template for the lapels...

This triangle should measure 2 1/4  X 2 1/2.

The buttons are little 1/16 punches.

The bow tie is made of two 1/2 by 5/8 triangles, with a 3/16 circle punch in the middle.

If you glue the shirt piece a little off the black card stock, it will have more punch.

Below is the final result (a picture is worth a thousand words).

Let me know if you need more help on that.
