Bring on the Weddings
It’s June and it’s that time of year. For the last few weeks the wedding invitations have been arriving, and I love it! Wedding cards are so much fun to make.
To continue my personal commitment to use some of my ever growing designer paper supply, this set of cards was made using pieces from seven different sheets of the Making Memories “I Do” designer paper pack. Each card has a strip of coordinating paper on the inside as well.
This first card was colored with Copic Markers.
The main image panel is popped up on dimensionals. The sentiment on the main image panel is also popped up.
Card number two uses three different designer papers.
There is no stamped sentiment on this card. The words are part of one of the designer papers. The bird is embossed in silver.
Besides using a couple of designer papers, I also used a wide crocheted lace ribbon and scalloped satin ribbon on card number three. There are lots of patterns and textures here for sure!
I love these little heart charms, too.
The last card uses a piece of designer paper that includes the floral image. The sentiment is stamped directly onto the designer paper.
The heart is embossed in silver.
I have another One Sheet Wonder in the works to help me part with even more of my treasured paper. It’s a trick that I’ve discovered enables me to use the paper because there is no wasted little bits and pieces.
Happy Crafting!

This is a fabulous set of wedding cards Susan. I love the set and colors on the first, the luscious bow on the second card, the fab ribbon and charms on the third and the 4th looks so elegant with the embossing and pin!
Susan, these are incredible! I really love the first one—that image always catches my eye when I thumb through the catalog—so pretty! But they are all wonderful, really!
TFS!
These are fabulous!! Great job on all of them.
pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty!
Oh, they are all so beautiful! I love the little heart charms, gorgeous bow with the flower, embossed heart, pin…
Susan, those cards are just beautiful. How can you part with all of that gorgeous paper?
I guess I need to start doing that with some of mine. Sometimes I think it’s more fun to collect it. lol
Oh Susan, these are cards are pure gorgeousness x’s 4! I don’t know which one I like more because each card is so beautiful and special in its own way! Beautiful details and wonderful colors!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love these cards. My stepdaugher is getting married on Saturday and I have been drawing a blank on a card. The Together Forever set of mine has not seen ink in forever. I think that will be the one I use. I love the tiny heart charms and the stick pin you used. Great job.
Susan, I love all your wedding cards, but the one using blue is my favorite one! They are simply classy and gorgeous.
Oh wow! Such beautiful cards! You are a true inspiration to me, just seeing how you create!

These are all beautiful, makes me want to make a wedding card even though I have no need of one any time soon. I have bookmarked this post to come back and CASE some time.
Every one of these wedding cards is so beautiful, and each one is so different from the others! I especially love your dp and ribbon/trim choices with the dainty heart charms on the black and white one; the simplicity of the scallops and the single pearl on the floral one; the varied elements and luscious wide satin ribbon on the embossed bird one; and on the last card, the touch of pale yellow with the silver embossed heart and pearl stick pin — they’re all so lovely and elegant. Beautiful work, Susan!
Gorgeous set of cards Susan! Oh I love your coloring on each of them, your satin ribbon bow on the bird card is awesome…
Hi your blog is so so beautiful as always…Jlaura

So gorgeous — love your color choices and details!
