Wedding Hearts

I was recently asked to make a wedding card for a non traditional couple who were to be married on a beach in some exotic tropical location, so I chose Coastal Cabana as the contrast colour to white as it reminded me of warm sunny beaches.   

I made a three fold card and stamped and cut out all the heart shapes to sit on the edge of the diagonal.  And then I had to cut identical ones for the reverse side which would be seen when the card opened up.  Lots of cutting and gluing. To keep the card together I had to tie a ribbon around which they could slide on and off.

 

Note to self - next time make sure the hearts on the joining folds are the smallest so the ones behind can be seen better.

Engagement card

And now for something completely different  - an engagement card.  

One of our neighbour's recently became engaged after being proposed to while doing the Harbour Bridge climb.  It doesn't get much more spectacular than that, although it could never beat mine.  Nah, I'm not going to tell. 

Had to whip up a quick card for her, and what else could I use other than hearts.  

  

All the hearts have been cut out and stuck down the angle of the card, and then the same again inside - can't have them looking at the back of a white heart shape when the card is open.
