WEDDING "BOWS"

Welcome to the Cut Cardstock blog! 

Today is about weddings and I have made a super simple square box with a scalloped edge lid, a few rectangles to use them as cards/tags to display the bow pins and a few rosettes just for decoration.

I chose the Classic Linen cardstock as my main cardstock. I like the texture and I like its weight. It was perfect to hold and display the small guests "mementos".

I also chose the lovely Gold Glitter cardstock to complement the Linen cardstock. 

The box and lid are from a Cricut cartridge called "Sweet Tooth Boxes". I cut the box at 4 inches and it is a square box.

The heart border is from Ribbons and Rosettes. The hearts are super tiny but cut amazingly well on the Gold Glitter cardstock.  I used the double-sided score tape to assemble the box and lid.

The bows are from a digital shop but Cricut has many to choose from. 

I added a thin rectangular gold strip around the heart cards to continue the gold and white color combination.

I used a glue gun to attach the pin to the back of the bows and a piece of square foam tab to adhere it to the card, as seen below. 

A small white pearl was then added to the center.

A few more pics of how this small ensemble is coming together.

The rosettes were made with one-inch strips of the Classic Linen cardstock and scored at every 1/4 of an inch. 

A gold heart was added to the center.

All Done!

A Svery pretty and simple ensemble for any event, in this case, a wedding. 

Hope this project helps as an inspiration to you all.

Take care!

and a huge thank you for all your love and likes.

Enjoy the new team!

but before i show you my project,  i want to give a huge THANKS to some ladies from the unity stamps blog, who took the time to come to my blog and left me some lovely and well appreciated comments about my

i linked to their site, for first time, on friday night (the 18th). a big thank you goes to all of you for making me feel so welcome.

---now onto my challenge project for the pumpkin spice blog---

Coffee Shop

approx. size 4.75 inches tall

i cut this store/building at 7 inches tall and after you finish with it, turns to be about 4-3/4 inches tall, just that you know, :D--- you will find this image on page #4 and it says the max you can cut Iit at is 10 inches tall which will give you maybe a 7-3/4 inches tall cut. remember, NOT to use real size dial, OR, your layers won't fit.

the denim paper i used is from dcwv and the word stamp is from inkadinkado. the pretty red flowers from a paper punch and the red glitter cardstock from coredinations.

the roof was dry embossed with a cuttlebug folder and the windows covered with vellum paper.

the round window is so pretty. my neighbors have a real one, :D.

 i also added vellum to the back of it.

here is the pretty coffee shop in all its glory.

---did you notice this cut looks a lot like a milk container? haha!---

thanks so much for stopping by,

and i hope i have inspired you at least a bit and you decide to join us in this so fun challenge. 

psss!....i am a coffee lover but my husband is a fan. so yes, we always have coffee in the house.
