It's a wedding shower!

A couple weeks ago we went to a Surprise wedding shower for my DH's sister and husband. We decided to go in on a few gifts with my in laws. One of the gifts is a night's stay at a local hotel in the "honeymoon sweet" for the night of their wedding. Since they didn't have gift certificates at the hotel I made them a card version of a gift certificate. Here it is!

I was very excited to use my Scor-Pal on this card. To start I took a piece of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" light pink cardstock put it on my Scor-Pal and created a gate-fold by scoring it at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". Then I stamped the image on plain white cardstock and colored it in using my Prismacolor markers. Next, I punched out the image using my Marvy Uchida Mega scallop circle punch. Next, I took a peachy colored cardstock and punched out a scallop circle using the Giga punch. Then I matted the image on the larger scallop circle. Next, I glued the scallop circle to one side of the front of the card.




Now for the inside:


To make the inside of the card I came up with a little saying about what the gift was. I printed the saying on white paper and cut it out and glued it on the center of the inside of the card. Next, I took a piece of vellum and cut it to 4" x 5 1/4". Then I wrapped a piece of peach ribbon around the top of it and a thinner piece of ivory ribbon around the bottom. Finally I glued the vellum over the sentiment (I only put adhesive on the top and bottom so it was hidden by the ribbon).



Finally, using the same ribbon from the inside I cut a piece and wrapped it around the closed card and tied it in a bow in the front.

Supplies : stamp by A Muse, cardstock by Bazzill, ribbon by Bobbie M. Designs and Offray, punches by Marvy Uchida (giga and mega scallop circles), Prismacolor markers.




I was very happy with how it came out. I always try to use the couples "colors" for wedding/shower cards. I think that is part of the fun of making your own.
