Wedding Shower Cards

Today I was working on a commission from a woman in my office. Her daughter is giving a wedding shower for a friend and asked me to make a card for her. My co-worker bought the black and green papers and some ribbon because her daughter wanted the card to match the decorations for the shower. I had enough paper to make three cards. She can take one or all of them! I must admit that I perused the Wedding gallery at Splitcoaststampers to get my ideas. All three of my cards are CASEd.

The first card is actually CASEd from this baby shower card by mandalee65. The card base is white, so that the inside is white; and I just cut a piece of the green to cover it. The white panel is embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, and the next panel is cut with the Stampin'Up Top Note Die. After stamping the sentiment from one of a two-stamp set with black, I cut it out using a Shapeabilities tag and popping it up over the punched out green circle. The inside is stamped with the other stamp from that set. It says: And they lived happily ever after. The End.

My second card is a CASE of this card by lbenden. Again, the card base is white, the green panel is punched with an EK Success border punch. The sentiment is stamped in silver and then embossed. I like that corner punch -- it provides a mat and some interest at the corners.

My last card I CASEd from this card by scrapgal2. Because the Flourishes white cardstock is so thick, I had to make sure I punched the borders at the right place so that, when the card is folded, the designs match up. I wove the narrow black ribbon into the latticework and then backed it with the green ribbon. The rest is pretty self-explanatory.

I may be stretching it a little with these salt and pepper shakers. I had nothing that even vaguely was related to a wedding shower. So the only set I had that MIGHT work was this set from Jamaica -- the colors on the flag match the colors of my cards.
