Damask Card

Happy Sunday!

Today I'm taking it easy & just relaxing! I wanted to share one of the thank you cards I made for the Florida bridal shower we were given. It was a gold & damask 5x7 card. I was inspired by the house of the family throwing the party. Such a beautiful home. Creamy blues, golds, and whites filled their home. Between the damask flocked wall paper in the formal rooms and the flower arrangements everywhere - it was truly a beautiful location to have a bridal shower.

Supply List:

Printed Paper: Creative Imaginations flocked damask print

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics, WorldWin Gold Shimmer

Wedding Cake Card Boxes!

I am so excited about this project that I have been asked to create. A client has asked me to make a card box for her to sit on the gift table at her wedding reception. So, is it square? No. Is it a bowl? No. It’s a 4 tiered wedding cake!! The pictures below are my sample cake that was made for the portfolio. This cake is a 3 tiered round cake.

Above is the front view [[ you can see the card slot]]. Below is a top view and some photos of the detail.

This is how the box opens [[aka how the bride & groom gets to all the good stuff!]]

This cake is cream color, covered in fabric and purple hydrangeas. I almost wanted to keep it!!
