Country Bouquet Punch Archives

As there wasn’t a Card & Cuppa last week, today I’m sharing a card I made for friends for their 1st Wedding Anniversary.

The card is a nod to their wedding stationery that I helped them design and make. Fresh Freesia and Gray Granite are the colours used in their stationery too.

For this design, I used the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set to create a background.

The strip of cardstock across the middle represents the belly band that went around their stationery bundle.

Layering circles cut from the Online Exclusives Circle Punches sit above this with hearts cut from the Country Bouquet Punch on top.

I used a Blending Brush to add some shading to the large heart, and the smaller heart is coated in Wink of Stella. There was Wink of Stella on their wedding stationery.

Finally, some Rhinestones add a touch more bling.

Here is the card I made for their engagement, and the card I made for their wedding.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa had a love theme, with the new Country Bouquet Punch from the Mini Catalogue providing the heart shapes.

This project is great for Valentine’s Day, Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary wishes and more.

It also has a more rustic feel with the Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla colour combination. Poppy Parade provides the splash of red.

Background ‘splats’ and the sentiment are stamped using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. First and Second Generation stamping is used for the splats to give some depth.

Hearts and the sentiment are cut out using the Country Bouquet Punch.

A length of Natural Finish Ribbon is looped together and stuck to the background. As this ribbon frays fairly easily, looping it together hides the ends on the inside.

The hearts are then stuck together and raised above the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Finally, Heart Pearls finish the project.
