My oldest daughter Ashley tied the knot last month in a very beautiful and special ceremony. She chose the colors ivory and red for her wedding so I made 130 each of the save-the-date cards, invitations, and thank you cards for the occasion using her colors. Yes….that’s 390 total hand-made cards! She picked out the Bazzill cardstock and coordinating My Mind’s Eye paper. It was definitely a labor of love! The pieces listed below were all cut/embossed one at a time using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and the Sizzix Big Shot. Whew! This was a HUGE project! As you can imagine, my hands and wrists were sore – not to mention all the stamping that was done!!
Wedding invitations:
- front heart: Nellie Snellen
- front leaf swirls: Cheery Lynn Designs “Fanciful Flourish”
- interior ovals/scalloped ovals: Spellbinders
- tag: Cheery Lynn Designs “Cathedral Lace”
- tag heart border: Martha Stewart punch
Thank You Cards:
- decorative front swirl: Cheery Lynn Designs “Victorian Romance Flourish”
- ovals/scalloped ovals: Spellbinders
- interior large tag: Grand Spellbinders
- decorative border stamps: Stempelglede
- border punch: Martha Stewart
- corners: ProvoCraft
- decorative stamps: Stempelglede
Envelopes:
- all cut and scored by hand using a Martha Stewart paper trimmer and scoring board
- decorative address tag: Spellbinders
I used the rectangular invitation (with interior pocket) to participate in the weekly “anything but square” Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge.
