Two Wedding Cards For Nick

In October my co-worker Nick asked me to make him a wedding card for a friend of his. He drew out the concept for me and I went to work! Below, two cards, both of which he liked!

Becky's Wedding Card

Recently I worked on a Wedding card for my boss, Michelle's sister-in-law Becky. I asked what styles she liked and what the wedding colors were. Black and Red and she likes Easel cards. So I thought what should I do? I've done a black and white wedding easel card (square), how about a scalloped circle easel card? This card was so much fun to make. I love how it turned out. The flowers were very bulky and couldn't fit well in the envelope I had made so I had to make an envelope for thick cards. That was hard since I had no template at all and had to use my noggin. It worked out the first time I did it, thank God! This card is on its way to Becky in Alaska!

Two Wedding Easel Cards

A new card post! Yay! And one is a Magnolia! Recently, one of my co-workers, Nick, asked me to make him a wedding card for his friend who got married. We were looking on my site and I showed him a card I had made for another co-worker, Jason. He liked that card and asked me to make one for him. I told him I would make two so he could choose which one he liked best. 

Below is the first card. For this easel card I used DP from Die Cuts with a View, my cuttlebug and the swirls embossing folder, and my cricut for the silhouette of the married couple, which I then covered in glitter. The sentiment is from a sticker pack and the flower is from a wedding kit I have. The pearls used to prop the easel card up are from the blog candy I recently won!I also used my glossy accents to add some dots on the outside and the button.

CARD 509

CARD 510For the second Wedding card option I used my Loving Bridal Couple stamp from Diana at the Magnolia-licious store. I love this couple so much! Since I had already colored this couple in shades of light brown, I decided to use DPs and cardstock that were in the same family. I also followed a sketch drawing I had seen recently but now I can't remember from where. The DP the couple is on had the words "kindred spirits" already on so I was lucky enough to use that as my outside sentiment. The flowers are from the blog candy I recently won from Helen. Yay blog candy! Inside I've decorated with DP from the same kit as the outside. The locket and stamp are from the same DP pack as well as the LOVE DP. The sentiment is from a sticker pack and the rings I've used to prop up the easel card are from an anniversary embellishment set. I put some glossy accents on it to give it some shine. I also added some glossy dots on the outside and on the flowers to create the look of dew.















So after I showed Nick both cards he decided to go with the first card. He liked the black and white color scheme and felt it was better suited to give to his friend. :) 

A Wedding Card for Jase

So my co-worker Jason asked me to make him a last minute wedding card last night so on my way home I was thinking of what I would do. I got home, read my e-mail then saw an easel card that someone had made and I said "A-ha! I'll finally make my first easel card!" So here it is. It took a while but it was def. worth it. I love the way this looks. I think many easel cards are in my future!
