Mandala Gatefold Wedding Wishes Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday friends, hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

With wedding season starting soon, I thought I would share with you how I made this gorgeous gatefold Wedding card using some new products from the Happy BEE day release.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I created a gatefold card base by cutting the cardstock paper to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Scoring and folding at 2 1/8 and 6 1/4 inches. 

I then die cut both pieces of the Mandala Honey Cuts and also kept the center negative die cut. For paper, I used a pale gold heavyweight cardstock from an old paper pad I had. I then adhered the large Mandela die to a piece of vellum I had cut using the largest Double Stitched Circle Cuts and then sliced the two pieces right down the middle and glued them on to the card front panels, trimming off any pieces that hung over the side edges of the card.

On the right flap of the gatefold, I glued the centerpieces that I had left over from the Mandela Dies.

I then create a simple band to slide and hold the card together, using some vellum and white ribbon and the adding the Wishes Script die from the Wish Honey Cuts set that I die cut using the same pale gold cardstock.

On the inside, I thought it would be fun to finish off the wishes sentiment with a rhyme to the bride and groom using the Mr. and Mrs. Stamp set. "Wishes, hugs and kisses, to the new Mr and Mr.s"

Simple Woodsy Wedding Card | SVGCuts

If you read my last post you know that I recently attended a wedding this past weekend. Click on the link if you missed it and want to see the cute personalized wedding gift I made for the cute couple.

So for this post, I want to share with you this simple card I made using a card file from SVGCuts Five Minute Card SVG Kit. The cool thing about this card was that when I made it last week I really had no idea what the wedding theme or decor would be like this weekend... but to my surprise, it totally had a woodsy feel to it. I was really excited to see that my card was a perfect match for the evening and the couple! Funny how sometimes things happen that way ;)

When I made this card I had imagined a tree with the couple's initials carved into it. Trees to me symbolize strength, growth, family, and forever and was why I thought it would make a cute card. The original design of the card has "love" written in the center of the heart, but of course, I always have to put my own twist on it and added the couple's initials. If you look closely you can see right through the plus sign between their initials... I thought that was pretty cool!

For this A2 card, the files were cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. I used craft cardstock and a sizzix embossing folder to create the wood impression.  I then rubbed some walnut distress ink along the edges. I added some Wink of Stella to the tiny hearts and the flower petals for a little sparkle. I finished the card by embellishing it with a wooden button and a twine bow. I left the inside blank as I wanted enough room to write a message.

Hope you guys liked my Simple Woodsy Wedding Card today.
 I wish Stefano and his beautiful Bride Breanne, the happiest of marriages. May their love grow stronger and deeper with time.

Karen's Quilted Wedding Cake and Card

Hi Everyone :)

Sorry it has been a while since my last post... I was starting to feel a bit of blogger's guilt! I have been doing quite a bit of crafting lately but haven't had much time to post any of it. Hopefully I will be able to soon ;)

So today I want to share with you all my first EVER wedding cake! My friend Karen, (the bride who I've worked with for many years) had asked me for a simple quilted ivory cake with a hot pink rose. Well, what the bride wants is what the bride must get! I must admit I was a bit nervous with this one as there is very little room for error when working with white cakes, plus it's a WEDDING cake! Eeek, talk about pressure! That's why I could never do this full time... too stressful, lol! But in the end I was very pleased with how it turned out!

For those interested in what is actually inside the cake 
Top layers- Vanilla & Chocolate flavoured - baked in two 6 inch round pans.

Bottom layer - Vanilla & Chocolate flavoured - baked in a 10 inch round pans.
Entire cake was frosted with vanilla butter cream icing and covered with fondant.

Topper from Precious Moments.

To go along with the cake I also made Karen and Alan a simple card.

The quilted embossing folder I used comes from We r Memory Keepers.

Stamp from Studio G

Orchid Die from Spellbinders

Congratulations Karen and Alan, I wish you both the very best in your future lives together.
Hope you enjoyed and devoured the cake!

Thanks for stopping by Everyone!
Hope this Simple Wedding Cake and Card has inspired you as well :)

So excited to share with you all the latest Shadow Box! I think they just keep getting more and more beautiful! 

This Shadow Box was made as a gift for my cousin Victor and his bride Jessica who just got married this past weekend! I absolutely love how it turned out and I'm pretty sure they loved it too! Congratulations again Victor and welcome to our family Jessica!!! Had so much fun with you both and the rest of our crazy awesome family!

It's hard to see that I etched the glass in the above picture, so below is a closer look at the etched glass. Click here for a previous glass etching tutorial and project.

The rose file I used to create the heart of roses comes from the Crush On You Boxes SVG Kit here. They were just cut at different sizes and glued onto a heart template.

And here is the card I made them! SO adorable, right!?
The stamp comes from the Simply Said Stamp Pack by Craftin Desert Diva's.

The files I used to create the card come from the Love Always SVG Kit here.
(Please note that the original files have been altered to make the card using the Silhouette DSE program.)


... and here is the lovely couple's first kiss as husband and wife!

Hope you loved this project as much I loved making it!
