Wedding Congratulations to Linda and Darren

Another card request of my double sided Wedding card design for a special couple getting married in August. The colour theme being mint and navy blue.

 

The base of the card was created using an Original Sizzix die - Car front. I cut 2 car shapes and then 4 circles using a circle punch approximately 1.5" diameter.  I cut the bumpers of the car in silver and the two front headlights, for the rear lights I cut the small circles out of red and orange card.

The Bride and Groom were cut out using Cricut Paper doll Dress Up Cartridge, the dolls were cut out at 3.5" height, I created back views also for the reverse of the card.

Blue card was attached to the base card and an embossed cream card was matted on top. The bridge and grooms( front and back ) were fixed to the card and the car was fixed using double sided tape and 3d foam on the roof part.

Personalised number plate was fixed to the front of the card and the standard number plate message was added to the back view.

Vets Birthday Card

 

Another missed blog post.

 

A card request for a special birthday for a lady who works at a vets.

 

Using the Cricut Paper doll and Everyday doll cartridges, I created the vet figure using the nurse sections and doctors accessories.

 

The animals were taken from the Animal Kingdom Cartridge. Each animal base shape was cut four times and then in different colours to add more detail to the animals.

 

The animals were fixed down the sides of the card to create a border effect and the main doll fixed to the middle of the card.

 

A personalised message was cut and matted onto green card and added to the base of the card.  

 

Birthday Wishes to Rhys

Created a similar card to that of my sons at the end of July, but reduced the size of the hexagons and added a football boot topper to the card.

The card was created using my Cricut Gypsy I created a hexagonal shape, using Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge. I selected a plain square shape, and altered the dimensions to create a rectangle which I copied 3 times. By turning two of the rectangle a number of degrees to the left and right  and overlapping the rectangles I created a hexagon shape and welded them all together to make one solid shape.

I copied the shape a number of times on the one mat. I cut out in both white and black card stock. The white shapes where then embossed with a dots embossing folder.

A black square was cut and fixed to a 6" x 6" card blank. A smaller green square was matted onto the black. Starting near the middle I fixed the cut shapes to create a football effect , trimming the edge sections before fixing to the green base card.

Football boots were cut out using the Cricut Soccer cartridge and matted onto a white circle which was matted onto a black mat.

A Happy Birthday message was printed and punched out of a small scalloped punch and matted onto a black punched label shape. A strip of decorative ribbon was fixed to the lower section of the card and the message topper fixed across the top,

Lets hope Rhys has a fabulous birthday.

Wedding card wishes for Ashley & Michael

A missed blog post and card. A request was received to create a special Wedding card for Ashley & Michael.

Using Lili of The Valley 'I Do' stamp, I stamped the image onto white card using black ink. I coloured the stamped image in using Promarker pens.

I cut the coloured image out using a spellbinder label die set  and cut another the same size from red card stock. A larger die size was cut from both cream and red card stock. Both red sections where cut in half and fixed to create a shadow effect. Two backing papers were chosen and cut and matted to red card stock. A narrow strip of red ribbon was fixed across the join.

A personalise message was printed and again cut and matted onto red card and fixed to the base of the card.  Faux brads were fixed to each corner to finish.

A Card for Bob

 

 

Time to create a similar card to that I created for Fathers day for a family friend's birthday who supports Watford FC.

 

I used a die cutting set from X Cut Suit dies. The pieces were cut from black and white card stock and patterned paper.

Patterned paper was used for the back ground which was matted onto red, black and yellow card.

The die cut shape was fixed using double sided tape.

A personalised message was printed and matted onto coloured card and fixed to the base of the card
