Not your average wedding card??

I was asked by my hairdresser to make a wedding card, and I thought as she likes things a bit different and funky, that I'd steer clear of the usual white/silver wedding card style. So I came up with this...

Again, it's in my current favourite shape and I used papers from DCWV "once upon a time" stack. I thought the "Happily ever after" wording was just perfect for a wedding card! I also added some paper flowers (which I can't remember the maker - I'll try to find out later!).

This is the inside...

And the box to put it in...

I like to keep my boxes fairly simple and keep the surprise for whats inside! I did emboss some florishes at the top of the box with holographic powder which doesn't really show on the photo :/

It went down a treat - I was a bit worried as it's not your average wedding card - but my ma said that if she (the hairdresser) didn't like it, she (my ma) would take it! Sorry ma, I'll just have to make you a different one!

Thanks for looking ;)

For Sabrina's 30th

I was invited to a friends 30th birthday party and as she was turning 30, I thought that would require a really special card. So I made one in what has become my favourite style of card to make lately!

Again, it's A5 gatefold with holographic embossing down the right "gate" and hidden magnets and I used papers from DCWV "all dressed up" stack mounted onto silver mirri. I also added a few gems too.

This is the inside:

On the inner panels I coloured a flower on each (flowery) square with a clear sakura glaze pen for a subtle touch.

It's always nice when people recognise the work you've put into a card - and she did! She couldn't get over the weight of it to start with - it's a good thing I wasn't posting it!!

I hope you liked it! I've almost finished my christmas cards - that was a slog! So I'll hopefully soon be adding some of them.

The final card for Holly

This is the last card I made for Holly. I made it for my little sister Rachael to give even though it is by far my favourite of the three - but hey that's me! (Sinead knows I made them all anyway!!)

I used punch stardream card and made it into an A5 gatefold card. I stamped and embossed a flower stamp with holographic embossing powder down the right flap. I then used an image (again from Joanna Sheen's Baby Love CD - I've got my money's worth from this CD!!) and decoupaged the little girl and the balloon. I also added some pink and white sakura glaze pens and some clear sakura stardust pen over the dots around the picture - the glaze pens leaving a slight texture.
I mounted some of the corresponding backing paper onto silver mirri card and attached it to the left flap.
Then I placed a magnet on the inner right flap, closed the card and more or less just dropped the other magnet on top. I made sure that the magnets would be placed where they would be hidden.
I mounted the image using foam pads over the backing paper and hiding the magnet. I also added a couple of sentiments.

For the inside I mounted some silver mirri and some more of the corresponding backing paper on the inside of the flaps - hiding the other magnet.
I also made a little waterfall piece also mounted onto silver mirri (to hide the back of the brads).
And then I got Rachael to sign where you pull the tab to animate the waterfall.

So that's it. Thanks for looking!
