Heartfelt-Special Couple

Good morning!

 I made this card with the beautiful Classic Wedding Collection and did a sort of Bendi with the top.  The Beautiful Decorative Medallion makes a wonderful arch way.  The card itself is flat but the arch is bent like a Bendi-Frame by being about 1/4" longer than the space I have it in (the inside light pink panel).  Only the edges are attached so my Wedding Bells are hanging out from the arch.

I had so much fun making the beautiful roses for this card and creating little buds as well.  Heartfelt's rose die is a pleasure to work with!

I used the beautiful Crystal Clear glitter on my roses, tulle in between and white Prills here and there as "baby's breath".

ODBD - Wedding Swing Card

Good morning!

This is my inspiration card for this week.

I made my own swing card using the Oval dies.  You can use any basic shape really but I chose the oval to better fit the wedding cake.

Closed view
This Swing card is about 5 X 5"

Open view
I did my card using card stock 5" X 7" and my middle (swing section) is 1".
Make the base and then use a smaller nesting die to make the designer paper cuts.   Yes, there may be a bit of measuring to do...you can do it!
You need 2 smaller ovals, 1 for the front and 1 for the back.
Stamp and decorate as desire.  Make sure the decorations on the right side isn't in far enough to be in the way of your card folding flat.
ODBD stamps used for this card: Long Lasting Love.
ODBD dies: Ovals, Pierced Ovals, Bitty Blossoms
ODBD paper: Wedding Wishes


Tutorial in photos for the flip fold (Swing Card)
You can use pretty much any shape to make the flip fold.

 Draw light pencil lines where you want the fold.  Place your die so that the middle of the die is on the first line.  Make sure your lines are not too far apart so that part of the die hangs over the second line.  Place the top cutting plate on the line and cut (it will only cut where the top plate is).  Turn the card around and place the top plate on the other line to cut only that part of the die.

 Your cut will look like this first photo.  Then take your card to your scoring system (The ScorePal used here).  Score just to the cuts on the lines drawn and fold card on those lines (erase lines).  You should have your flip.  When open one side shows, when closed the other side shows.

for more direction please visit this tutorial from Norma Lee.  she is the one who gave me the courage to try.  It is very easy once you've done it.

ODBDSLC287-Color Challenge Reminder

Good morning!

For this reminder I decided to add the pink color which I really do love!

You can find all the information about joining our challenge HERE. 

There will be a $15 gift certificate toward ODBD stamps for one random prize winner and an award for one card using ODBD stamps called the Shining The Light Award, and your card will be featured on the ODBD blog.

I started with the designer paper and cut and oval for a window then cut the same from a piece of white Fun Foam to pop up the entire first layer.

I glued the die cut silver Boho Background to the back of my Fun Foam layer, added the pink frame on the oval window, the ribbon wrapped around then glued the Fun Foam layer on top of my pink folded card base.

I stamped the Happy Wedding Day verse with Orchid Brilliance (pink) and die cut it with the Oval and framed it with the Ornate Oval.  

I die cut the Layering Heart, Fancy Foliage and Bitty Blossoms from card stock and foamed the bitty Blossoms then added Prills to the centers.

My Heart is edged with Brilliance.  I stamped and die cut the love birds from Happy Wedding Day then finished decorating my "window" with all of my die cut pieces.

To finish off my card I added pearls and a sheer pink bow.

ODBD stamps: Happy Wedding Day

ODBD dies: Ornate Ovals, Ovals, Boho Background, Heart Topiary, Fancy Foliage, Bitty Blossoms, Easter Eggs, Flower Box Fillers, Layering hearts.

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs June Release, here is the card I created using the Bride & Groom die, Happily Ever After stamp set, Wedding wishes Paper Collection, Vintage Borders, Vintage Labels and Flower Lattice Die. For more inspiration using the June Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

Bride and Groom easel card.

This card is 5 1/4" X 5 1/4" when closed.

This wedding paper has so many elegant, rich designs that is is hard to choose what to use!

I used 2 designs from the paper pack and added a border between the 2 papers.  

The sentiment is embossed with silver powder, die cut and popped up so that it acts like a stop for my easel.

Lots of pearls and ribbon were added to this card as well.

Heartfelt Creations - Peachy Wedding Cake-The Classic Wedding Collection

Good morning!

It is time for the big reveal!  The new Classic Wedding Collection from Heartfelt Creations!!

I have to tell you how this idea popped into my head.  It all has to do with my mother (who went home to be with Jesus in 2002) and my childhood.
My mother, among other creative things, made and decorated cakes.
I remember helping her with forms for sugar bells etc.  She made the most gorgeous icing roses you will ever see!  She was very much a perfectionist and everything looked quite professional.  She made wedding cakes for my sisters and I and I'm talking 5 tier things! She made gorgeous roses and scallops and lacey looking lattice and everything a beautiful wedding cake is known for.
Since this was a favorite memory (because she also made the best tasting white cakes ever!  And you KNOW cake decorators always cut off the tops!) well it made it very easy to come to mind when I was thinking of weddings.
I so wish I had a picture to show you but I have no idea where any are.
This wedding cake is in honor of my mother!

Instructions:

7" base X 8" tall plus topper 3 1/2"

Other products: Paper Mache round boxes, large pearls, rhinestones, lace, cording, paint, acetate, Vintage Glass Glitter, tulle, ribbon, chipboard for cake "plate".  Start by painting 3 round boxes with white acrylic paint or gesso. I used a cereal bowl to draw around for my cake "plate" and cut it out with a craft knife.  Paint it white as well. Cover each box with designer paper from the Wedding Collection and then cut several Decorative Medallions to add as a scallop around all 3 boxes and glue them on to the boxes on top of the paper.  Glue the lids to the boxes and stack them, gluing each on top of the other.  Glue lace around the lid of each box and cording around the base of each box. Stamp, die cut and sponge all the rose pieces and vine/leaf pieces then shape using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  Craft each flower and then use glue and glitter around the petals of each flower.  Begin decorating the cake with the vines/leaves first working in a slight diagonal direction toward the top.  Once you are happy with the pattern you've made, add the roses starting with the largest at the bottom of the cake.  Fill in where needed with white tulle and peach ribbon bows, also add more leaves where needed. To make the topper I cut a round piece of designer paper for the top and set aside.  I stamped the doves and the small heart wreath from Classic Wedding Roses then die cut them and colored with Copic Markers.  I cut a strip of acetate and put a fold at the bottom (the form an "L" shape).  I cut a slit in my round paper and inserted the acetate then glued the paper, with the acetate sticking out, to the top of the cake.  I glued the heart wreath to the acetate and then glued the doves to the wreath.  I finished by adding large pearls to the edge of the top all the way around.

Good morning!

My roses were made with coffee filters (Dawn Lusk idea) and edged with gold ink. I tucked some gold tulle in with the roses as well.  I have a double row of pearls under the pretty border that is part of the paper, also a bit of lace under that.  I cut out the heart from another piece of paper and popped them up then added Liquid Pearl dots in gold.
