Wedding Cakes

I was asked to make a wedding card for a friend who was going to a wedding in Prague.It was to be Scottish themed as the groom was Scottish.I decided that instead of making a traditional card,I'd make a little keepsake. The template was from UKScrappers by a very talented lady and cut on my Craft Robo. I've made this little 3d wedding cake before as a trial,but this time it was for real and to give to someone on their special day.I assembled the cake and decorated it with tartan ribbon (can't remember which tartan),two little silver rings intertwined,some thistles on the top and a bunch of heather and a thistle down the side.
I then made up the box and lined with acetate.I then decorated round the bottom with more tartan ribbon.I cut out a few tags and decorated with tartan paper. On one I put the couples names and date of wedding.On another I added a wedding verse and also added another for my friend to write a personal message on.I added another little bunch of heather/thistles and added a gorgeous silver button with a thistle on it.All tied at the top with some tartan ribbon.

The couple really loved it thank goodness. My friend had taken it into her work beforehand and one of her workmates asked if I'd make one for her too as she was going to be bridesmaid at a wedding. This one was to have red tartan instead.So I made another similar one but used the red tartan (Stewart I think......) I had run out of little silver rings so used two entwined wedding bells instead (thank goodness for cake decoration shops!) Sorry about the not so good picture of this one,as I forgot to take a pic before I handed it over,so was done on a mobile phone.

Talking of cake decoration shops.One of them I went into in Glasgow (Top Tier) wanted me to take in samples of them to sell in their shops. I decided against it as I think I'd soon get fed up making loads of them.

New Beginnings......

After everything that's been happening recently it's time to move forward so I decided to give my blog a bit of an overhaul.Hopefully I'll get the rest done soon as I've only changed the background. I've seen some lovely blogs with gorgeous backgrounds so decided on the Rock theme....surprise! As my post says....New Beginnings,so I decided to post some baby cards I've done.

The first three boy cards I was asked to make for someone.The papers are all Craft Creations.Both stamped images are from Stamping Bella. The pram image I stamped onto card then stamped onto PP and cut out the pram body and decoupaged.The middle card pram is made using the Multishaper punch.I punched a circle and cut out a quarter to make pram shape.

The baby girl cards were both also commissions.PP is Craft Creations and the pram has been decoupaged as on the baby boy card.The baby cake and box were cut on my Craft Robo using a fab template from UKScrappers,and the bib and bottle were made from Sculpey clay.

Lastly is 2 cards I was asked to make by Stu as his friends were due a baby.I got the inspiration for these cards from here.

I didn't have the right size Scalloped ovals,so Stu made the shape for me on Autocad and I converted to a Craft Robo GSD file and cut it on my Robo. The papers were printed out from Hallmark Scrapbook. The sentiment was printed onto a tag shape on Shrink plastic and heated t0 reduce.

Thanks for looking.
