This is a card I made for a friend's grand-daughter and has Whispy, my favourite Saturated Canary image from Krista Smith on it. Whispy was coloured using Promarkers in various shades of jade and sparkle was added to her wings skirt and leg warmers using a stencil cut from another print out of the image and Crafter's Companion spray glitter. Spellbinders grand rectangle dies were used to cut a frame for Whispy.</div>

To personalise the card for Evie bunting was cut and layered using a La-La Land Die die which also cut out hearts from the centre of each flag. Letters and numbers were added to the bunting to spell out Evie's name and age. A Stampin' up punch was used to add layered flags at the other side of the image and a peel off Happy Birthday sentiment was added.</div>

Extra embellishments added to the card were silver brads, jade satin ribbon, a bow coloured to match using a Promarker pen, crystal sticker dots, waste hearts from the die cut bunting and silver corners with sparkly gems which I found in our local Home Bargain shop amongst their bridal decorations section. The corners were threaded together on a card but cut off individually they make nice embellishments.</div>

I got myself confused when writing the previous post, easily done, and this post will actually be my 400th published post. The previous one was only number 399 as there was an unpublished post sitting in drafts which made the postings total read 400. Never mind, this is still a special posting for the official 400th one.</div>

On Mother's day Elaine was in Canada visiting her best friend to meet her four month old daughter for the first time so it was two days after that when we caught up and I received my Mother's day card. Although plain and simple, this was a card with a big message which took me a minute or two to understand it's meaning. <span style="text-align: center;">All being well, I should be a granny around the end of September this year. Inside the card was a copy of an ultrasound scan which made it all the more real.</span></div>

A Stampendous stamp was used for the baby image and coloured using promarkers. Lots of different dies were used to make the other elements for the card. A Sue Wilson noble square pierced die cut the patterened paper for the base layer and the smaller plain and scalloped squares were cut using Spellbinder dies. Added to the squares were die cut buttons from a Quickutz die, die cut feet from a Marianne die set and die cut stars from a Die-namics die in the Rock Star set.</div>

Blue, pink and yellow thread were used to stitch, wrap around the squares and add a stitched centre to the buttons. Self adhesive pearls were the only other embellishments added. </div>

A mixture of patterned paper downloads were used too as I was trying to use up left overs. The pink splattered paper is from the Fred She Said Purple Pansies set, the gingham paper from Cuddly Buddly's A Patchwork of Papers Blue and the baby paper from the Nitwit's Collection Tickled Pink.</div>

I found a lovely verse to put inside the card which makes it seem that the card is coming from the baby and on the other side of the insert the scan picture was printed.</div>

Some of you may have noticed that there are three cards ready to be put together in the photograph of the crafting mat. I also made one for Elaine and along with the scan picture I added this lovely verse along with a personal message of congratulations. </div>

It's a special bond that spans the years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through laughter, worry, smiles and tears,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a sense of trust that can't be broken,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a depth of love sometimes unspoken,</div>

hugs and kisses, warmth and caring.</div>

There was a mix of old, new and free craft items used to make this card. The starting point was the Penny Black stamp Squeeze 'til I Squeak which was stamped onto Hobbycraft's white linen card and coloured using Promarkers. The daisy head, its centre and mice feet were stamped and coloured a second time and layered on top. Using the daisy image was significant because we gave Elaine a Sheila Fleet Daisy pendant on her wedding day. <a href="http://craftylizscreations.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/wedding-gift-for-elaine.html">Check out this previous post</a> to find out the story behind this jewellery design and the box I made for Elaine's pendant.</div>

A free embossing folder from issue 161 of Simply Cards & papercraft and a set of dies which had been a reader offer in the same issue were used to frame the image. This was layered onto daisy patterned paper from K & Company which had been die cut using a Sue Wilson noble pierced square die. Stitching was added to the paper once it had been attached to gold pearlescent card.</div>

Two more patterned papers were used on the card and both were from digital downloads and printed onto white linen card. The spotted one was from the Cuddly Buddly set A Patchwork of Papers Yellow and the marbled effect one was a backing paper from the Fred She Said set Purple Pansies. The marbled paper was also die cut using a Sue Wilson noble pierced square die with stitching added before it was attached to the pearlescent card.</div>

Spellbinders plain and scalloped hearts dies and Tonic's Happy Anniversary die were used to make up the sentiment topper. Along with the patterned papers, glitter card and matt gold linen card were used to make up the layers. The completed topper was attached to the card base using a strip of acetate at the top and wet glue at the bottom. This allowed the topper to stand out from the card and added dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The topper at the bottom of the card was also made using the Spellbinders heart dies and the 2U added on top were die cut using the Sizzix sizzlets die set Chunkidelic. </div>

December is usually the month when we're busy making Christmas cards, along with doing all the other preparations that are needed for the festivities, but there are also birthday cards needed to be made for friends and family whose birthdays fall in this month too. Amongst the birthday cards I need for December are four for crafting friends with another needed in the first days of January. This post shows the selection of cards I made for them whilst on my stitching spree.<br />

Then a happy accident happened. Whilst batch die cutting, using both the stitching die sets, I lost concentration and cut out the wrong backing layers. However, it still worked combining the two sets of die cuts and in the following selection the backing layers from the square frame set have been used to layer behind the oval stitched frames.</div>

The card in this post was for a friend and was made using the oval stitching frame and topper from the Joy Crafts Wedding Collection - Cutting, Embossing and Embroidery Stencil 6002/1011.</div>

Self coloured threads in blue and turquoise were used to stitch the topper, frame and border and card in shades of turquoise were used to matt behind them and the background layer. There are no dies in this set to cut matting layers but the dies which allow you to cut the frame and topper out of card can be cut twice and overlapped behind the stitched pieces to give this effect. Using the two shades of card to do this added an extra contrast.</div>

The patterned paper on the base layer of the card was printed from the Cuddly Buddly download <a href="https://buddlycrafts.com/shop/product-10228/kims-digi-papers-cottage-collection-duck-egg/">Cottage Collection in the Duck Egg</a> colour option. For the other half of the base I got a bit more adventurous and used the topper die to cut out a pricking template in acetate and used this to prick out a flower and leaf border to stitch.</div>

Two more cards made using the square stitching die from <a href="http://www.annspaperart.ch/webshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=235_236&products_id=3820&zenid=6cafbe3c87c67eb688da86f24adb15d6">Ann's Paper Art</a> and both are in shades of aqua. I thought that I'd photographed the same card twice but the patterned papers, the gemstones and the thread colours used on the flowers petals tell them apart. Had I looked beyond the card then I'd have noticed that the cloth behind them is also set different.</div>

Flat backed pearls, clear gemstones, aqua satin ribbon and a Happy Birthday silver peel-off were the embellishments added to the cards.<br />

These sets of piercing and stitching dies come with extra dies to cut backing layers and apertures which increases the variety of combinations you can create using them. The following two cards are made using the dies and one of my favourite colours to craft with. The first one was for an Auntie who is also a card maker and who also likes to add stitching to her cards.</div>

Shades of purple and lilac thread were used for the stitching with flat backed lilac pearls added to the centres of the flowers. Smaller self adhesive pearls in a darker shade were added to the embroidered square and centre topper. Lilac grosgrain ribbon was added across the card to cover the join of the backing papers and also to make a bow.</div>

This second purple card using the square stitched frame was for another Auntie and although she doesn't make cards she is a very talented crafter in sewing, knitting and baking and is also a keen gardener and bowler. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping with the Spring theme from the last post, this is a decorated tag made for our craft group's tag challenge for March. A few of the ladies in the group had made tags for online classes and Tim Holtz's challenges so we decided to set our own tag challenges for each meet this year. A Spring/Easter theme was chosen for March and the inspiration for my tag came from the daffodils which had recently bloomed in the back garden.</div>

Using My Craft Studio and the <a href="https://www.nitwitcollections.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1355&zenid=e34836e83a13c0db403c12d3e1f78f19">Nitwit Collection Daffodil Joy</a>, a backing paper and elements were sized and arranged to make a base layer for the tag. Extra daffodil flowers were printed to cut and decoupage to add dimension. Neutral coloured thread was looped and added between the daffodil layers and a yellow button added to the centre. The message on the paint chip element was particularly fitting and added to it were daffodil stickers which had been a magazine free gift.</div>

The first lines of Wordsworth's poem Daffodils were printed and die cut using Joy Crafts cloud dies. Green ink was sponged around the clouds and green clouds matted behind. The daffodil embellishment was from a Create and Craft button stash I'd bought many moons ago and it had finally found it's purpose.</div>

The card in this post was made a couple of weeks ago for a grand-niece's birthday. The topper had been lying coloured and unused for a long time and, although the colour scheme isn't one I'd normally use, it seemed right for a Spring birthday card. The image is Whispy from Krista Smith's Saturated Canary collection and is coloured using Promarkers with Crafters Companion glitter spray added to the wings and dress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spellbinders dies were used to cut a rectangle and circle frame for the topper and behind those were added two rectangle matts which were embossed using a random dot folder. </div>

Spotted backing paper, buttons and ribbon from the Sunshine Papermania Capsule Collecton were used and the yellow Happy Birthday paper was printed from the Cuddly Buddly download A Patchwork of Papers Yellow. The two patterned papers were taped together and die cut using a Sue Wilson pierced square die, then taped to the backing card and the pierced border stitched using an orange thread. </div>

At last month's craft group meet we were commenting on having lots of flower embellishments in our stash and pondering on ways we could use them. On Jenna's card I've managed to use up some of mine including paper flowers, mulberry roses and buds, flower buttons and a few little layered up flowers punched using a Tonic punch. Orange ink from a felt pen was sponged on the edges of some of the flowers. To the centres of the flowers buttons, flat backed pearls, brads and crystal sticker dots were added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Little white adhesive pearls were added amongst the flowers and gold leaves, cut and embossed using the leaf die from the Marianne English Rose die set, were added behind the flowers.</div>

Jenna's name and age were added to the card to personalise it for her. Alphabet stickers were added to half inch circles, punched out using Stampin' up's half inch punch and sponged with orange ink, and her age was die cut using Marianne number dies. Spellbinder circle dies were used to cut the layers behind the flower embellishments and the number eight.</div>

The last three posts have been about wedding cards made for a friend's son and his bride but the card in this post was created to mark the arrival of Niall and Steph's baby son. Back in January they were thrilled to announce the arrival of Jack, the first member of the next generation of this branch of the Campbell family and I made this keepsake to mark his birth.</div>

Lots of different makes of dies were used to put this accordion card together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sizzix Bigz dies were used to cut the base card, the layers and the frames for each section of the card. The patterned papers used for the layers and frames were printed from the Cuddly Buddly download - A Patchwork of Papers Blue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Quickutz dies were used to cut the rabbits and the cardboard buttons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Spellbinders labels 1 dies match the outline shape of the Bigz layer and frame die so they were used to cut smaller frames and the boards the rabbits are holding. Spellbinder star dies were used to cut the star embellishments and a Spellbinder oval die cut was used as the body for the rabbits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Marianne dies were used to cut the baby feet and the letters to spell BABY JACK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Encore Metallic blue ink was sponged around the edges of some die cut pieces and along with ribbon, heart buttons and a little coral pink chalk added to the cheeks of the rabbits this finished off the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The next photograph shows most of the die cut pieces ready for assembling and the following one shows the decorated base card and the embellishments ready to attach.</div>

The previous two posts have shown cards made for a friend to give her son and his bride on their wedding day but this post shows the card which we gave them. I've made this card several times, in different colourways for weddings and anniversaries, but this one was personalised for Niall and Steph as it included their names, initials, wedding details and was trimmed with a Campbell tartan ribbon which is the family surname Steph took after her marriage to Niall. </div>

Shades of green and navy blue pearlescent card were used to build up the layers on this card and the yellow roses picked up the the yellow stripe in the tartan. The green linen effect backing paper was printed from Joanna Sheen's Secret Garden CD and the silver wedding script paper is included in a download available from Printable Heaven.</div>

As you can see from the wedding details it's taken me a few years before getting around to posting about Niall and Steph's wedding cards and they've already moved on to the next major step in their lives. All will be revealed in the next post.</div>

The previous post was about a wedding card made for a friend to give her daughter-in-law on her wedding day and this next card is the one I made for her to give the happy couple. The inspiration came from <a href="http://scrappyleggdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/its-great-to-be-back-this-is-easel-card.html">this one</a>, which my friend found on the internet, and fortunately I already had some of the craft tools to make a larger version of it for her.</div>

The "To Have and to Hold" sentiment was stamped and embossed with silver detail embossing powder and die cut using a Spellbinder's deckled edged die. This was the first use for a wooden stamp which I'd bought when I started crafting about thirteen years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The message forming the stop for the easel card was printed from the computer and also die cut and layered using the deckled edged dies. Brilliance orchid pearlescent ink was sponged around the edges of both the sentiment and message.</div>

The flower embellishments were from a mulberry flower starter kit from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=62">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> with the addition of a few small rose buds. The cream flowers were sponged with Brilliance orchid pearlescent ink and they and the large rose were glittered with Stampin' up dazzling diamonds glitter.</div>

Other embellishments added to the card were single self adhesive pearls and gem stones, flat backed coloured pearls, a silver heart charm, a silver wedding and engagement ring and a large self adhesive gem stone embellishment from Creative Expressions. This was the first time I'd used one of these large embellishments and I was glad I'd bought two as the first one I attempted to use ended up in a tangled mess.</div>

The depth of this card meant that a box was needed to protect it and the decoration for this was based on the card front. Matching metallic elastic cord was wrapped around the box base and lid to hold them together.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back in 2014 a friend asked me to make wedding cards for her to give to her future daughter-in-law and also for her son and his bride. This was quite an honour as she chooses cards carefully both for their visual impression and the message within. Fortunately she looked through various designs on the internet and came up with two designs for me to work from and this is what was made for Steph, her daughter-in-law to be.</div>

The backing layers were made using shades of cream plain, textured and pearlescent card and the main background piece was embossed using a Crafter's Companion embossing folder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The floral corners were made up using a flower kit from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=28_62">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> along with mulberry roses and rosebuds. The cream flowers were sponged with Brilliance pearlescent ink and they and the large rose were glittered with Stampin' up dazzling diamonds glitter.</div>

Marianne dies were used to cut the backing layer for the sentiment, which was printed from the computer, the decorative edges of the layering strip which went across the card and to cut leaf embellishments to tuck under the flowers. Some of these leaf embellishments were also glittered. </div>

Back today with another Woodware favourite and it's the big number stamp 21 this time. This card was sent off to a friend's daughter in Wales. This card is great to use for either male or female cards as you can see in <a href="http://craftylizscreations.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/twenty-one-again.html">this earlier post</a> and this <a href="http://craftylizscreations.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/twenty-one-today.html">post</a>.</div>

The number 21 was stamped and embossed on to the two palest patterned papers using VersaMark ink and Disco Black embossing powder from Stampendous. The palest one was cut out and paper pieced on to the darker one to make the main topper. The topper was then dry embossed using the Cuttlebug Falling Snow embossing folder. This seals the paper piecing to the topper and adds texture. The topper was then framed and layered using Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Plain Square dies and a stitched border was added inside the frame. </div>

Back to another favourite with this post with the Just For You big word stamp by Woodware. Two cards in a turquoise colourway were made for a friend's daughter and a crafting friend. At first glance they look like the same card but the patterned papers on the letters tell them apart plus the placing of the flowers are slightly different.</div>

The Just For U was stamped and embossed on to the striped paper using VersaMark ink and Disco Black embossing powder from Stampendous. It was then stamped and embossed on to the other two patterned papers. Alternate letters were cut from each patterned paper and paper pieced on to the main topper. The topper was then embossed using the Cuttlebug Falling Snow embossing folder. This seals the paper piecing to the topper and adds texture. The topper was then framed and layered using Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Plain Square dies and a stitched border was added inside the frame. </div>

This time last week my friend's daughter was heading to Glasgow, along with her business partner and their team of workers, to attend the Scottish Wedding Awards ceremony. They had a nomination last year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the occasion but this year they came away with winning the Best Wedding Boutique in the North category. Here is a photograph of the two of them afterwards with their certificate and I don't think their smiles could have been any broader. A great achievement after three years running the business as a partnership. </div>

Pink grosgrain ribbon, self adhesive pearls and holographic butterfly stickers were added as embellishments. Before being added to the card the butterflies were attached to acetate, cut out and had their wings folded back to give a 3D effect. This was one of the first techniques I picked up from watching Dawn Bibby on her QVC crafting shows.</div>

This post is the first of many using stitching dies. I've always liked stitching, or using thread on cards, but sometimes the process of pricking out the pattern was frustrating especially when the stencil moved and the holes of the pattern went out of alignment. On finding sets of dies which embossed the pricking patterns in one pass through the die cutting machine, along with layering dies to co-ordinate, was a dream and so began an obsession. The obsession was not in collecting dies but in making monochrome cards in various shades of colours.</div>

Different tones of purple and lilac thread were used for embroidering the main frame and topper. The die which allows you to cut out the topper was used to cut two pieces of contrasting purple card which were layered behind it so that there was a contrast against the stitched frame behind.</div>

It's been a long time since a post has been added to this blog and as time goes on I'm beginning to realise how useful it is sometimes to have a record of what you've made, what was used to make it and who it was given to. Most of the new items made since the last posting have been photographed so I'm going to attempt to try a catch up and record them here. There are a lot of repetitions to come when inspiration and motivation went out the window but also because of a love of stitching on paper.</div>

The first card to share was for a friend and was made using the following Marianne flower dies and a Tonic small flower punch to create a floral wreath. </div>

To continue the jade green monochrome look for this card backing papers were chosen from the <a href="https://www.nitwitcollections.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=1320&zenid=17c28fa127eb77e1c70f9954115e90e3">Nitwit Collection Snow Princess Solids</a>. A stitched border was added to the patterned papers to further frame the wreath.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only a few extra embellishments were added as the flowers did most of the work on this card. Along with ribbon, brads and pearls a few crystal stickers were attached to the centres of the small punched flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thankfully the process of creating a post hasn't changed so this hasn't been too challenging a task and hopefully I'll get back soon with some more cards to share.</div>

<span style="color: #193300;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
wanted to give Elaine a personal keepsake gift on her wedding day and
selected a <a href="http://www.sheilafleet.com/">Sheila Fleet</a> pendant from the Daisies for Emily
collection. This was an item on her wish list but I also chose it
because it was designed to help a very special young lady. In the
link below you can read about why the collection was created and how
significant the humble little daisy is to the designer herself.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #193300;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
add a personal touch to the gift I made a daisy themed faux book box
to put it in. The measurements and instructions used to make it can be found on the blog <a href="http://iwannabuildamemory.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/kraft-outlet-book-of-love-tutorial.html">I Wanna Build Me a Memory.</a></span></span></span></div>

layered up along with shades of green and cream pearlescent card to
make a base layer on the outside cover and the inside of the
box. Attached across the front and back of the cover were layered
strips of the same card selection and foam pads were used to add die
cut hearts on top of these. The wording on the hearts was printed
from the computer and then Spellbinder heart dies were used to cut
them out. </span></span></span>

tie the box closed. The ribbon was also threaded through a diamante
heart ribbon slider which was fixed to the spine to secure the ribbon
to the box.</span></span></span></div>

the opposite side was the framed space to put the gift in. To link it to the words in the poem the message “He Loves You” was
added to the back of the space and underneath where the gift would be. Daisy patterned strips were used to frame the space, and also to hide the joins of the concertinaed sides, and they were given a decorative edge using Martha Stewart's doiley lace border
punch. A border was added to the frame using thin strips of the dark green card.</span></span></span></div>

were used to make the daisy embellishments. After overlapping and gluing two of the
daisies together the edges of the petals were sponged with pale green
ink and a flat backed pearl was added to the centre. Continuing with
the daisy theme the pocket holding the tags was embossed with a daisy
patterned embossing folder. </span></span></span></div>

was delighted with her daisy pendant and wore it everyday whilst on
honeymoon. This is my favourite photo of her wearing it and below
that is a photo collage Elaine made showing most of the Sheila Fleet
jewellery which played a part in their wedding day. As a thank you gift from Elaine and Andy I received a necklet, which you can see me holding in the bottom right of the collage, and Andy's mum received a brooch. Both were from the Snowdrop Collection. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #193300;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
last wedding card I made was one for Ian to give his sister and her
new husband and it was back to my favourite nine square layout. There was lots of bling on this one with not a hint of green in sight.</span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #193300;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">White
and silver linen, silver mirri, dufex silver heart and silver wedding
script card were cut and layered to make the different tiers for this
card. The bottom and middle tiers were made by layering up the
cardstock with a grid of nine 5cm squares embossed on the top of the
middle layer. I was introduced to the <a href="http://scor-pal.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/dimensional-card-envelope-by-jennie.html">Scor-Bug Embosser</a> recently
and this little tool can create faux stitching lines, which can still
be stitched, in seconds. On this card I left them as embossed lines.
White grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around two corners of the bottom tier before the middle layer was added on top and held in place using silver brads. </span></span></span></div>

</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
top tier was the nine little toppers. Squares of the different types
of card were cut and layered using Woodware square punches and
Spellbinder dies and silver thread was wrapped around the corners of
five of the toppers. Embellishments added to the toppers were pearl,
diamante ribbon slider and silver peel off hearts along with silver
wedding and engagement ring charms and peel off dots. The sentiment
and Elaine and Andy's names were printed from the computer and die
cut and layered using Spellbinder heart and square dies. A white grosgrain </span><span style="color: #193300;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">bow was added to the top left corner of the middle tier.</span></span></span>

As well
as making individual wedding cards for Elaine and Andy I also made a
card for them as a couple. Shades of green pearlescent card and the
Nitwit Collection patterned paper used in printing the wedding
invitations were also used to make this card. Panels, made from
layering up the coloured and patterned card, were attached to faces
of the z-fold card and a stitched border was added to each of the top
layers to add an extra frame.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

The tiers
of the wedding cake topper were made from rectangles of white
Crafter's Companion centura pearl card which had their top corners
rounded before being embossed using a swirls embossing folder. The
pieces were backed on to the dark green card to leave a quarter
centimeter border around the sides and top. Green ribbon was
wrapped around each piece before they were attached to each other.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Foam pads
were used to attach the cake to the backing panel and ribbon bows
were added to each tier. The
double layered trailing ivy was cut using a die from the Marianne
Creatables Ivy die set LR0206 and attached to the ivy are green paper
roses and cream and green rose buds. Self adhesive pearls were added amongst
the roses.<br />
<br />
Elaine and Andy's
initials were printed from the computer and die cut and layered using Spellbinders plain
and scalloped hearts dies. This made up the cake topper. When using both Elaine and Andy's
initials together on wedding items we always made sure to put
Elaine's initial first so as to avoid any A & E
jokes. The sentiment was also printed from the computer and punched
out using Stampin' up oval punches. Hanging hearts were die cut using a Memory Box die, layered up and attached to the corner of the base panel.</div>
