Final wedding crafting post ?

I also wanted to give a small gift as a thank you to my parents for getting us to the wedding and all the other thing they did for us. It is a small chipboard album covered with the same papers etc. as the previous post. It is sturdy enough to stand up as a display item.

Penultimate wedding crafting post

I wanted to give a small gift as a thank you to my son's new in-laws (it needs to be small as it has to travel back to the USA). It is a small chipboard album covered with the same papers etc as the previous posts. It is sturdy enough to stand up as a display item.

More wedding crafting

This is Dee's card she wanted to do something different.
The card itself is in a photo frame and the image used is a Precious Moments one which was sent from the USA, coloured with pro-markers. The frame has a swirl pattern stamped on it in latte ink. The sentiment is from a Dulcie's stamp set. The easel was a plain wood one painted with gesso and edged with latte ink. There are several flat backed pearls dotted around.

As it was a very special wedding, I wanted a very special card. The card is made from a template

for each letter, first cut out of light chipboard and then covered with various scrapbook wedding papers from Holly Red . The letters were cut by hand not a machine, so may not be perfect but made with love. The finished card was inked around the edges with a Adirondack dye ink pad in Latte and small pearls stuck on each letter. I used silk flowers again, which I coloured to match again with the Adirondack dye ink pad. I put a special message on the back, but left the individual pages blank for their photo's. Hugs Bee

The crafting side of a wedding in the family.

It is true to say lots of tears (happy ones) are usually shed at a wedding, so I thought I would make these, they are pocket tissue holders. More elegant than the originals, and the tissues were special packs.

The close up is the brides, as you will probably tell by the image. The others were for the bridesmaids and The Mother of the Bride.

I have used craft house paper and ribbon from Holly Red . The image is a Magnolia bride a gift from a friend which I coloured with pro-markers. The flowers I have had for a while, they are made of silk. Hugs Bee
