DOILY CARDS

When I first saw this Sizzix - Jim Holt Alterations-On the Edge die, I never dreamt that it would make such a pretty card.
To make these cards, line this die on the edge of your card, and cut through both layers at one time. Then decorate the middle. I found these cute bird decorations from Wal-Mart on sale (4 to a pack), and it makes 4 of these pretty cards. I decorated around the birds with some flowers. You can also cut the doily design at the bottom of the card.

WEDDING CARD

This was a fun wedding card to make, and so unusual. I made this using a 5 /2" x 5 1/2" card. Embossed half of the card.
 
To make the Tux...cut the paper to halve the card size. Cut down the middle of the paper from the top, and fold down the corners to make the lapel. Use enhancements  for buttons, and dress with a  bow tie.
 
For the dress.... (1) use three hearts (two large, one smaller). (2)Score them as diagramed below. (3) Emboss one of them (the one that will go on the inside). (4)Then fold and attached  the embossed heart inside the other.
 
Attach the bottom half of the dress next to the finished tux on the card. Invert the small heart above the large heart, and attach a ribbon between the top and bottom part of the dress. Now "dress up" the dress with flowers and pearls.
