Pop Up Wedding Card

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday on my blog! ItOur daughter-in-law's brother is getting married this month and I offered to make a wedding card. The bride loves pink, orange and yellow so those are the colours I went with - along with lots and lots of white.

I love a larger card for a wedding, so this one is 5x7". The patterned paper had the right colours, and since it's such a 'loosey goosey' print, I scribbled more pink, orange and yellow onto the flowers with alcohol markers. I knew I'd be covering the paper with vellum to soften the paper, but it would have been OK without. The Foliage Frame was die cut from white pearl cardstock and the Happily Ever After was cut from rainbow holographic cardstock. Actually I cut it three times - twice from white and once from the holographic. I adhered the three layers together so it would be nice and sturdy - like a chipboard element, and since the card is being hand delivered I didn't have to worry about bulk. Finally, I added a trio of mirrored heart confetti pieces and filled in the open heart on the sentiment with glitter glue.

Inside I used Karen Burniston's Twist Flower Pop Up. I sure get a lot of use out of that one having made over 15 cards with it already!  

The wedding charms are also by Karen Burniston. When you snip off the hanging hole, they become cute little elements you can add to your cards. I love the embossed feature on the brides dress.

White Embossed Wedding Card

This wedding card is one I made for a friends daughter. Because I had offered to make our friends a special wedding card for them to give (see it HERE), I didn't want to make ours a pop up as well. I decided on 'white on white with texture'.  

The front panel is white pearl cardstock and I ran it through with a 5x7" embossing folder. Since it would be hand delivered I was free to add extra dimension with layers of foam tape. The front panel was layered onto the white card base with foam tape and I like the shadows this gives - especially in that centre cut out area. The embossing folder also cuts this area at the same time it embosses ❤️.  

Inside I added a full panel of the holographic cardstock. Then I die cut a smaller white pearlized panel with a stitched die, and a heart from the centre so the holographic cardstock shows through the opening. A smaller heart was stamped with the sentiment and popped into the opening with foam tape.

Finally I added some mirrored hearts and the card was finished. In the photo below the rainbow really shows up from the holographic cardstock because of my lighting but in the next picture the colour is more true. It definitely reads more as silver than rainbow.

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.

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.

Pop Up Wedding Card

Welcome to Karen Burniston's January 2023 Designer Challenge where she challenged her Design Team with the theme: "RUBBER BAND POP-UPS" - use any of the pop-up dies that require a rubber band for a card or project of any theme. (Ball dies, Surprise Cube, Bam Box)." I created a 'non traditional' wedding card for a couple who had a 'non traditional 'wedding last month!

Inside I used the Surprise Cube to animate the word CONGRATS, along with a pair of champagne glasses and hearts. My card is held closed with two magnets on the right flap, which is fun. I am going to have to order more of those magnets, as I know I will get a lot of use out of both the Surprise Cube and the new Bam Box in my card making.

My card started out as a 5 x 7" card, but I wanted to try this flap idea so the finished size is actually 4 x 7". I scored 1" from the inside right edge to form the flap, and trimmed 1-1/8" off the card front on the right edge.  I'm happy enough with the card, but next time I would just use one of Karen Burniston's flap dies. Now I know! 

You may notice my Surprise Cube looks a little different. I kept the sides folded to the OUTSIDE instead of tucking them in. Which of course meant they didn't fit inside without trimming a tiny bit off of those four outer corners. I thought I'd made a big mistake, but didn't realize it until after the card was in the mail. Karen B assured me it was fine, just another look for the Surprise Cube. Whew!

The cube folds down flat, then pops up when you open up the flap.

I am going to include a running tally on how many cards I make this year, not counting the ones I don't share here on my blog.  I donate 25 Birthday Cards each month to my Mom's old nursing home and don't often take photos or post the majority of those. A couple of times recently, I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. 

2023 Tally: 15 Cards

Additional Supplies:

5 x 7" card and envelope

White cardstock

4 small magnets - K&J Magnetics

Gold Thread

Pink Copic marker

Wedding Shutter Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing the wedding card I made for our niece and fiancé who are getting married this month. I made a 5 x 7" Shutter Card and used some lovely pearlized patterned paper that friends and I split 3 ways about 6 years ago. I used a tutorial by Sam Colcott, and linked it in my Supply List at the end of the post.

I have a walkthrough of the card on YouTube as well, because these cards are fun to see in action. 

After die cutting the Happily Ever After from gold card foil card stock, I adhered it to a circle and die cut doily. This card does not have a Belly Band to hold it closed, but instead I used small magnets. I did use two, because I used heavyweight ivory card stock for the card base and there are lots of layers.

Here is the inside - when the gatefold card is opened, the shutters move back to reveal the sentiment "Forever Begins Today". I added lots of gold vinyl stickers from my stash as well.

The patterned paper is SO pretty - and I used three different patterns for my card today. The Happy Wedding Day is another die set from Karen Burniston.

The semi circle and vinyl heart on the back side of the doily hide one set of the magnets.

Here is a look at the back, but I didn't end up taking a photo of the gift card pocket I added to the bottom. There was still room for all of our families names (I signed for everyone) and we tucked a group gift inside the pocket. 

The pocket was die cut from the same ivory card stock and decorated with a small piece of one of the pearlized patterned papers - it looked so nice!

I absolutely loved making this card for the happy couple!

Heart Pivot Panel Wedding Card

Hello my crafty friends

Today I'm sharing a card made for friends whose daughter was getting married. Burgundy and Blush were the colours, so that is what I chose for the card. Karen Burniston's Happily Every After is so perfect for a wedding card!

Inside I used the Heart Pivot Panel with lots of champagne foil details. The heart banners were carried over from the front to the inside as well. This is a larger, 5 x 7" card. I'd like to make more of this size in 2020 - they just feel so nice and substantial in your hands.

It's hard to see in the photos, but I did a lot of outlining the dies with a glitter pen for additional shimmer.

Finally, a top view of the card. the Pivot Panels are so cool and I really like that you can add them inside a card without needing a full card layer as you do with some pop-ups.

Blush, burgundy and white card stocks

Scalloped rectangles - Honey Bee
