Wedding Card

My boyfriend (Jeremy) and I received a Save the Date to a wedding in January. It was the brightest and prettiest one I've EVER seen! So, to complicate the BEAUTIFUL StD, I made a bright and fun wedding card!

I saw this card (at the very end of this post) on Holiday with the Cricut/Everyday Cricut back in January and LOVED it! I've always had it in mind, but never found the occasion to scraplift it...Until now!! When I opened the StD, it was filled with all these awesome and beautiful ribbons (pictured below) and the card from EC came to mind!



The card itself is 5.00x5.45 inches. It requires the use of a Gypsy or Design Studio. I'm going to leave a link to the directions at the end of the blog (she does a better job explaining it than I do).

I used Jolee's Jewels on the Mr. and Mrs., to add some sparkle/

The Mr. and Mrs. is from Sweethearts and is cut at: 1.82.1.83 inches
Boyd is from Gypsy Font (my favorite cursive font) and is cut at: 1.34 inches
The O in Boyd is from Gypsy Wanderings and is cut at: 1.34
The Gum Machine is from Sweethearts and is cut at: 1.36x2.25 inches

Here is the inside:






The wedding gown and tux is from Sweethearts and are both: 3.99 inches high
There are a gazillion hearts to choose from, but I didn't feel like searching, so I used the heart from the key and heart-lock on Sweethearts and used the hide contour feature to get rid of the lock. The heart is 1.73 inches high.

Instead of putting it in an envelope, What I'm going to do is create a pocket with the ribbons stick out of the envelope on the left side!

Here is where I got the idea from:
