Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you're all having a great weekend! I created this Wedding card today using my Cricut and the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. I cut the bride and groom several times. First I cut the blackout feature using beige cardstock. Then I cut using the layers feature in Metallic-y grey for the groom's tux and again in the cool beige metallic-y swirl paper (FAB clearance find at AC Moore!!!) for the bride's dress. Lastly, I cut the sillouette feature in black. My cuts were done at 5 1/2 inches. The card background paper is the same beige swirly paper I picked up at AC Moore and then covered (loosely) with shimmer vellum. The ivory heart ribbon in the middle is from JoAnn Fabrics and is topped with a thin piece of ivory ribbon which is also what I made my Groom's bowtie out of! :) I added mini rhinestones (these are actually the kind you use for fingernail art but I thought they'd be more useful on my cards! lol) I also added one to the Bride's left hand to serve as her engagement ring! I used pop dots to add dimension, added Opal flowers to the bottom of the card and Luster Baubles (LOVE them!! lol) in "Ice" to the top to finish the card off. Sorry for the quick post today but I have to get to bed as I have a very looong day tomorrow and it's already 1:23am! YIKES! Good night all!
This picture shows the metallic-y papers better than the previous pictures.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenn,
ReplyDeleteI found you over on the Cricut message board & am so glad I did! Your wedding card is divine! :)
And I liked your Monkey Shaped Card...how did you make him fuzzy?!
Thanks,
Jennifer
P.S.
I see you're in Rhode Island! I had relatives in Providence & grew up in MA (moved to Cali when I was in 6th grade).
Jennifer, Thanks for becoming a follower and for all the lovely compliments! I tried to see your blog but I couldn't find a link to it. To answer your question, I used a wire brush on the felt to "fuzz" it up. I made little circular motions with the brush to bring the fibers up to the top. I wasn't sure it was going to work but it did! I wish you could have seen it in person as the pictures don't ever do the projects justice! Thanks again for becoming a follower! *Hugs*
