Wedding Card - Craft Dies by Sue Wilson

Hello Friends,
I created this wedding card for one of my nephews that just got married. I used several die sets by Sue Wilson for the frame, borders, corners and flowers. I really love these dies and how the card turned out.

The card base for this card measures 6 1/4" x 7 1/2". I cut several layers from designer cardstock, colored the edges with distress inks and adhered to card.
I die cut 2 borders using Scandinavian Collection - Corner, Border & Tag die set and adhered to top and bottom of card. I added pearl trim to center of border. The corners were also die cut from the same die set.
The center frame was die cut with Scandinavian Collection - Copenhagen and adhered to card with foam squares to add dimension. The Love sentiment was die cut in blue cardstock and glued to center of frame.
The flowers and leaves were die cut with Finishing Touches - Camellia - Complete Petals die set and for the fronds I used Finishing Touches - Delicate Fronds.


Supplies:

Creative Expressions - Craft Dies by Sue Wilson: Scandinavian Collection - Copenhagen, Scandinavian Collection - Corner, Border & Tag, Finishing Touches - Camellia - Complete Petals, Finishing Touches - Delicate Fronds.

Happy Father's Day Card - Crafts Dies by Sue Wilson

Hello Friends!
I have a hard time making cards for the guys. I think a card without flowers does not look complete to me. But when it comes to making a card for my husband I have to make the exception, he would not approve if a put a flower on his card. LOL!!!
I think this Portuguese Collection - Background die set by Sue Wilson is perfect for the occasion.

Instructions:

I started by making a 5" x 7" card base with black cardstock. I die cut all the layers using the Portuguese Collection - Background die set and cardstock in natural white, kraft and black as pictured below. 

I adhered the layers to the card using foam squares to add dimension. For the Happy Father's Day sentiment inside the card I used Cheery Lynn dies and black cardstock. 

Supplies:
