Personalised Wedding Card

Today's card uses a mix of Stampin' Up! products with my Silhouette Cameo machine to create a personalised wedding card. 
I cut a fine detailed design on my Silhouette for the black background floral panel and used Stampin' Up! products for the rest of the card. 


Close up
The black vinyl cut out very cleanly, and looks stunning with the black/white/gold combination don't you think?


The word Fahran was a customer's request on the front of the wedding card. If you would like your own custom order card made, e-mail me with your request.

Stampin' Up! Wedding Card featuring Come Sail Away DSP

My daughter has a wedding to go to recently and I volunteered to make her a card. Knowing the bride was wearing a pink dress I tried to work that into the card along with a few other details. Here's what I came up with:


I thought the pink dress looked a bit plain on it's own so I added textured with the country floral 3D embossing folder and petal pink inkpad and sponge dauber. I also loved using a sheet of designer series paper from what your would call a traditional masculine pack of designer series paper (come sail away) but it is a more subtle pattern and almost looks like wallpaper in the background. The come sail away designer series paper is one of the 10 packs of paper that are available on the buy 3, get 1 free DSP special this month. The special ends on September 30th. If you would like to grab some come sail away DSP and some others, shop now here.

Stampin' Up! Non Traditional Wedding Card

Recently my step sister, Faye got married and knowing she was having her trademark funky hair colour for the wedding I made her a less than traditional wedding card. Faye and her husband Chris are both really into tattoos and I tried my best to make a card that was "them". I found a design that spoke to me and I CASED it to the best of my ability.

Stampin' Up! Die Cut Engagement Card

My cousin recently got engaged and what kind of card maker would I be if I didn't send her a card?

This card, unusually features no stamping but a lot of die cutting! I've used eclectic layers, sunshine wishes and swirly scribbles thinlits dies to create the card but boy it is an elegant card I think. Obviously, it wouldn't take much to make this into a wedding card either.

Stampin' Up! Floral Phrases Tropical Escape Engagement Card

With the beauty of scheduled posts, I still have regular posts coming to you on my blog while I am away in Orlando, Florida at Stampin' Up! On Stage Live.
Isn't the blushing bride designer series paper from the tropical escape designer series paper stack amazing? I really like it as a subtle background for this silhouette engagement card.

Stampin' Up! 40th Wedding Anniversary Card

I had the pleasure this month, of making a 40th wedding anniversary card. While making it, I rummaged around my house praying that a kid still had some gold-ish Easter egg foil left laying around. Not only did we have some left but I even found that some of the kids still have chocolate left from Easter!

Wedding card

Earlier this month I flew to India for a wedding. A 3 day feast of celebrations, dancing and festivities and lots and lots of food. Here's a mini snap shot of the wedding day.

Posing for wedding photos

Marking the bride with sindoor (as a sign she is married and commitment of long life and well being to her husband), called a vermilion mark

Knowing we were giving the bride and groom cash, I came up with this card to celebrate their union.

Bloomin' Heart

Have you seen the stunning bloomin' heart thinlet die? It a fabulous new intricate die featured in the brand new occasions catalogue. It is simply gorgeous and measures 8.6cm x 8.9cm. A real stunning die cut perfect for a card front. When I attended the Stampin' Up! On Stage event in Melbourne in November last year we had a play with it along with the love blossoms designer series paper stack and the big shot die brush.
If you don't own a big shot die brush, it is a must have tool I tell you. It is fabulous for getting all the small bits out of die cut images using framelits easily and quickly. 
I used all those above products mentioned to make this elegant wedding card.
