Exploding Wedding Box Card

 

Hello you lovely lot

Hope everyone is well and had a super weekend? We were lucky and managed to get away and enjoy the glorious sunshine. Jura was loving it!

Have any of you been crafting? What have you been making/working on? I’m busy working away on something a little ‘fruity’ but can’t sure just yet. Keep watching for a little something sweet coming soon

Now today I’m sharing another wee YouTube Tutorial with you all, an Exploding Box Card. 

Some of you that have followed me for years all know how much I love making these and knew it was about time I shared how I make them. I really hope you will give it a go once you see how easy it is

I used some really old Prima Marketing 12x12 pattern papers but you can find similar in lots of different brands and I teamed it with printed sentiments and lots of die-cuts but you can add anything to decorate and personalise for the lucky person or couple

Remember if you make something following one of my tutorials please let me know, tag me @meljessdesigns on any of your socials

Have a great week lovelies and and here’s to another fun crafty week

 Happy Monday lovelies

Hope this wee post finds you all well? Have you been enjoying the sunshine? It’s been lovely to have some heat and see Mr Sunshine instead of snow showers. We managed to get to away for the first time in 8 months, crazy that it’s been so long since we were at the caravan! Luckily there was no damage for it not being in winter mood and only the bedding needed washed 

Today I’m sharing something a little special

This here was a little labour of love as not only was the first Wedding Box in ages, it was for my brother and his wife!!

I give you Mr and Mrs Shand

Look how absolutely happy they both look, what a day they had eventually!

Here is some more pictures of the box up close

  

  

I used the lush Butterfly Kisses papers from Dovecraft that you can find over at Craft Label. I inked white card for the base to give a distressed look also adding to the other layered to match. The lovely the little butterfly is a die from the same set that I layered up to give a different look. I used some die-cuts and pictures of the couple as well as lots of Mulberry Flowers.

Of course you can see instead of a cake in the middle we have a Cheese Cake Tower lol as this was what they were having on the day instead of a cake I knew I had to add it here! I cut box shapes from white card and coloured them with my Spectrum Noirs to add all the cheese detail

I'm so pleased they eventually got to have their day, even if it wasn't't what they originally wanted it was still one very magically day! Plus their dog Bruce even managed to get involved 

Well I best get some work done, even tho I just want to sit in the sunshine! Theses Christmas makes (yip I said the C word) won't get made themselves!

Until next time take care
