More from the wedding

Today I am sharing the order of ceremony I made for my daughter's wedding. I bought the large stamp on line (just loved it) stamped and heat embossed it with cherry cobbler embossing powder to give a lovely shiny raised effect.  I used the same lace as the invites but cut it in half so that it just trimmed down the side of the card and finished it off with ivory ribbon along the spine. These were quite big, a full A5 size.  I was please how they turned out.






I'll be back next week with some more of the wedding projects. In the meantime have a lovely weekend, we're spending the day putting up our Christmas tree and decorating the house, I love Christmas and the family that arrive with it!

Wedding invitation

Hello there, sorry I haven't posted in awhile but over the last few months I have been working, along with my daughter, on her wedding.  Any of you who have done this for a family member will know that it takes over your life! I've thoroughly enjoyed it though and I am happy to let you see what I made. My daughter wanted a rustic/vintage wedding and she got married in a beautiful barn in the middle of the countryside. 
















Firstly I had a stamp made online of their names as I wanted to heat emboss it with cherry cobbler embossing powder rather than just print it off from the computer, it looked lovely and made it more special.  I used Stampin' Up products where I could including their Kraft card for the card base and layer, also the tag on the front of the box with the recipient's name on it.  I choose to put the invite into a box, mainly to protect it but also so we could tie a nice ribbon around it (Stampin' Up's chevron 132982) and add one of the very vintage cream buttons tied on with twine.

The printed words "wedding invitation" were computer generated and I die cut the little tag using Hearts a Flutter thinlit die (130159) and finished it off nicely using twine tied around the lace.

I have lots more projects from the wedding to show you so come back soon for those.
