Pop Up Wedding Card

When we heard the daughter of very good friends was getting married, I offered to make their  wedding card for the happy couple.  It was a very small wedding, on a beach in Tofino which is on the northern shores of Vancouver Island. It's truly a magical place so I pulled out a bunch of things from my craft room for this card. I have listed them at the end of my post.

I started with a white panel stamped with a scenic stamp with ocean and trees. Perfect for the backdrop of their wedding! The panel was lightly coloured with inks and blending brushes. The golden panel on the front is actually embossed with leaves ... also perfect for the wedding setting. The bride and groom are nature lovers, who spend a lot of time outside hiking, biking etc. I have had this embossed cardstock for YEARS (hoarding it, ha ha) and this was the perfect opportunity to crack into the package.  

Since I finally have some new goodies in my craft room I wanted to use my new Forest Window which gave me the trees for the front of my panel and then I added some acetate behind the window and created a shaker that was mounted to the card front.  I also wanted to use this truck die set, which I've had since 2018. 😊  I had also purchased the add on, which is where the Mr & Mrs came from on the back of the truck. The engagement & wedding ring were tucked inside the back of the truck for a bit of whimsy.

Inside I used the Paper Frames Pop Up and more from the Wedding Charms dies (both by Karen Burniston) along with some creamy pearl cardstock and more of the embossed leaves. The sentiment stamps are long retired but they worked perfectly on the little labels in the centre of the pop up.

My friend is a master seamstress, and she made her daughters wedding dress. It was just exquisite with hand sewn lace all down the gown. I loved that the wedding dress charm has the emboss feature so I could make it look 'lacy'.

Finally, champagne glasses to toast the newlyweds!

Whenever I give someone a card made with the Paper Frames Pop Up, they turn it over to view it from the top or bottom ... so here is a top view for you.

It's always nice to create a card that will be hand delivered and not worry about bulk or extra postage.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
