Tropical Wedding Layout

Hi there! 

Today I'm over on the

CutCardStock Creative Blog!

I have a confession to make! I love weddings! And if I am unable to attend a wedding the next best thing is to see beautiful photos of the special day and create a lasting keepsake for the bride and groom using some of those photos and beautiful card stocks from CutCardStock.

My niece and her husband went to Jamaica for their wedding and I thought that bright colors were the way to go for this project. I used ASTROBRIGHT PULSAR PINK CARDSTOCK, ASTROBRIGHT LUNAR BLUE CARD STOCK, ASTROBRIGHT PLANETARY PURPLE CARD STOCK and BASIS WHITE 80LB CARDSTOCK.

I chose the photos and a patterned paper that has a little color, but not too much.

I wanted to create a border so I used a border punch on the 3 Astrobright Card Stocks

I used a piece of the BASIS WHITE 80LB CARDSTOCK as my page base and started building my layout by matting the patterned paper with a piece of the ASTROBRIGHT LUNAR BLUE CARD and adhering to the base along with my layered border.

Now it's time to add the photos, which I also matted with ASTROBRIGHT LUNAR BLUE CARD. I also created a plain border by layering strips of ASTROBRIGHT PULSAR PINK CARDSTOCK, ASTROBRIGHT LUNAR BLUE CARD STOCK, ASTROBRIGHT PLANETARY PURPLE CARD STOCK along the lower edge.

I need some embellishments so decided to do some stamping and coloring. I stamped the initial stamp on the BASIS WHITE 80LB CARDSTOCK and the flowers on the ASTROBRIGHT PULSAR PINK CARDSTOCK and they colored beautifully. I fussy cut both stamped images.

I added the stamped elements along with some tropical themed stickers i had in my stash. I also added the wedding date with glitter number stickers to the largest photo.

I added to a 12 x 12 inch frame and will be gifting to the couple.

I hope I’ve inspired you with this project! If so, please leave a comment below, and we would love for you to connect with us on our Facebook Page.

Bee Mine

Hey there!

Today I'm sharing a fun Valentines themed

pop up box card project created with 4 die sets on the

Dies R Us Blog

using 4 die sets from

Dies R Us!

I love making this style card and started thinking about

the dies I have and what would make for a cute design.

I had these dies in mind when deciding what to do.

Karen Burniston Flowers & Bees Die Set

Memory Box Honeycomb Corner Die

Memory Box Classic Heart Rings

Memory Box Sentimental Be Mine

I gathered some solid card stocks for die cutting and

2 patterned digi papers from Digi Doodle Studios for decorating the box.

I die cut 5 flowers and centers, 3 bees, 1 honeycomb corner, 

2 "be mine", 1 set of hearts.

I glued the centers to the flowers and added some color to the bees.

I cut the e from the 2nd set of "be mine"and added to the other

to spell "bee".

Next comes preparing for the box construction.

I cut a 10 1/2 x 7 inch piece of black card stock and

scored at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 and 10 inches along the long side.

and at 3 1/4 along the short side.

The 3 1/4 inch is the top of the box that form the flaps.

Cut along the score line down to the horizontal score line.

Cut 3 pieces of 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch pieces of paper for

the bottom of the box and 2/14 x 3 inch pieces for the flaps.

Cut 2 pieces of white card stock at 2 1/4 x 6 3/4 inches.

Cut 2 pieces of 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch pieces of black card stock

to form the pieces that fit inside the box to attach your elements.

Adhere the patterned pieces of paper to 3 sides of the

box bottom and 3 flaps. A piece of the white card stock was glued

to the back of the unscored portion of the box.

Fold the scored pieces to form the box and attach the

1/2 scored piece to the inside with double sided tape.

Add the other piece of white card stock to the inside back

panel of the box. I glued the honeycomb corner piece to the back panel.

The 2 pieces of 1/2 wide black card stock were scored at 1/2 & 3 inches

to form tabs to b adhered inside the box.

I started adding the die cut pieces by gluing 3 pieces to the back.

Next, I added the die cuts I wanted in the center of the box to

a piece of acetate and glued to the front 1/2 strip.

Continue adding the rest of the die cut pieces to acetate strips and

arrange in what looks pleasing to your eye.

I added my sentiment to a small piece of black card stock along

with one of the hearts, which I backed with yellow card stock.

I hope I've provided some inspiration for you to

 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you 

to come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. 

There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.
