Silhouette Cameo - Modern Wedding - Box Card 2

Here is another Wedding Box Card made for a friend to give to her son and wife made with my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.

 The box base was made from Centura double sided pearlescent card (which I love crafting with)  The front face of the box is 5" x 5" with the side faces 5" high x 3" deep.

The cutting file for the box base and most of the personalised lettering is my own design, the lattice, hearts and other shapes were bought from the Silhouette Design Store where most cutting files are 59p  

 

 

The request was to "bling it up" so I used holographic mirror card as the

second layer of the lettering.

 and added diamante's to the lattice on the base for extra bling!  (5mm on the front and 2mm on the sides)

For a personal message to the happy couple a card is added to the back of the box

You can see the coffee stirrer sticks from this angle!

 

 A custom made box/envelope is made for each card,  although they fold virtually flat they are quite tall and wide.

 

Silhouette Cameo - Modern Wedding - Box Card

I enjoyed making this wedding card so very much,  My friends (who it was made for) gave me a blank canvas of Colour theme, Names & date and left me to it.

The base of the card is 5" x 5" front panel with 5" x 3" side panels.  

All cut from Pearlescent Card on my Silhouette Cameo Machine.  

 The shapes (hearts, butterflies, Lattice, Mr&Mrs, Horseshoe and Kissing Couple) were all bought from the Sil Store.  

The words, names and dates I designed and blinged up with some Stickles.

Once the base box was constructed and elements cut each one was glued onto a 

wooden coffee stirrer and placed using a glue gun

Although I forgot to take a photograph the card will fold almost flat.

I made a Card Box approx 10" wide by 10" high by 1" deep which I added ribbon to and personalised.

Silhouette Cameo - Tina Fitch - 75th birthday

This is my latest card made for my dear Mother in-law.

Most of the elements of the card were cut on my Silhouette Cameo machine

The cutting file for the numbers and the main background were bought from 

Tina Fitch - Forever Memories   I adore her files for the detail.

I made a standard 8" square card which I have then mounted on an easel base to allow to add the "Mum plate and some embellishment 

 The numbers have four layers, the base is cut from Burgundy, layer 3 is holographic card,

layer 2 is burgundy again with the front layer cut from Docrafts, Papermania, Capsule collection. 

The front stopper plate was made from the same cards with the label and "Mum"

cut on the Cameo.  I cut 4 layers of Mum to make a chipboard.

The flowers and pearls were from my stash. 

I also made a box for the card with a file bought from the Silhouette Cameo store.

Silhouette Cameo - Tina Fitch - Mothering Sunday Card

This is another beautiful cutting file from Tina Fitch Forever Memories  and cut on my Silhouette Cameo machine  

I made two of these cards (one for Mum & the other for Mum-in-law)

I felt the back needed a base colour behind it so added the purple back on both

This also made it a sturdier card.

On one I added the backing colour to the front gates too

Although I liked both cards I prefer the one with the front gates left as a lattice.

I added a bunch of spring coloured mulberry flowers tied with a contrasting ribbon 

 to the inside of both cards and also some flat back pearls to enhance the pattern.

The slightly larger pearls show up much better.

I am still playing with my cutting machine really,  I have so much more to learn but love it when I get the settings right and get a good clean crisp cut without the need to "weed" too much 

Silhouette Cameo - Box Card - Katie 21st

I just know I am going to be making lots of these.  This was so quick and easy to make with a real WOW impact,  and the best bit is that beyond  making the box base there are no rules!  Cut whatever shape you want and add it until you have the look you want.

The card base is a 5" square base which can be folded flat for storage and posting.

I love holographic card and paper and the way these colours work together.

Silhouette Cameo - Tina Fitch - Swan Wedding Card

I made this stunning card on my Silhouette Cameo machine with a cutting file i bought from Tina Fitch Forever Memories. 

Tina designs and sells amazing cutting files for several different cutting machines.

My only regret with this card is that I did not take more photographs.

 I cut the main card from a very subtle silver metallic card

The swans and couple in the centre were cut from white pearl card.

Once cut I embossed the pieces for the swans before putting the pieces together with foam pads.
