Wedding Box Card

Hello, and thanks for stopping by to take a look at the wedding box card that I made for our nephew and his bride.

Like so many other couples this year, Morgan and Drew's plans for a large, traditional wedding and reception had to be canceled due to the COVID outbreak.  They decided to have a very small, immediate family only, ceremony on their original wedding date in the beautiful city of Bend, Oregon, about a three hour drive from their hometown.  They are planning to celebrate with friends and family with another wedding next May.

On to my box card.  I used lots of products from several different suppliers.

Stamps and Dies:

Lawn Fawn:  Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up dies, and the sun from the Sun and Moon die set.

MFT Stamps:  Home Sweet Home dies, Magical Rainbow dies, and the cloud die from the Sweet Sloths set.  The house windows were coated with Glossy Accents, and the yellow pathway to the house was fussy cut.

Penguin Palace:  Sweet Ride stamps and dies for the car, bride and groom.  This was my first purchase from PP and the inspiration for my card.  The images were colored with Copic markers.  The windshield, mirrors and lights were coated with Glossy Accents.  The "just married" sign and trailing hearts were my addition to the car. 

Simon Says Stamp:  All Seasons Tree die, and the Heart Breeze die was used for all of the tiny hearts.

I stacked and glued four of the trees together so it would be sturdy as the branches are easily bent otherwise.

Memory Box:  Resting Birds dies.  Three layers of the birds were die cut and glued together for some added dimension.

Paper and Card Stock:

Paper Source:  Pure White 80 lb card stock for the box base.  I find it the perfect weight for box cards.

Lawn Fawn:  12x12 Hello Sunshine Remix collection pack.  I think the "oh happy day" paper is perfect for this card.  The gray polka dot paper is also from this pack.

MFT Stamps:  Kraft, Daffodil, Orange Fizz, Summer Splash and Poppy card stock.  Sweet Celebration 6x6 paper pack for the yellow pathway to the house.

And the back.  I always put a message there, and something to carryover the design on the front so it looks finished.
