The kraft paper, stamp, and darling photo
have been repurposed from the invitation.
I created a photo pocket for the card … just in case they'd like to swap this out for one from their wedding day. My card is also a nice 5x7" 'frameable' size.

What a sweet idea! I just did this for a friend (and forgot to post it, duh!) but yours is much sweeter. Just LOVE those dies...especially the frame one! And what a fun idea to use the stamp from the envelope---you're so clever! They will love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card/gift idea, Michele ... beautiful framing around the photograph ... clever use of the postage stamp ... and your little cluster of woodland plants and blooms is a delight! Thought the snail might have been hiding among them!! I'm sure the crafty friends you're meeting will appreciate you giving up the wedding to see them! Hugs, Anita :)

ReplyDeleteWow Michele, I love how you personalized this wedding card! It is so beautiful. I am loving the size as well but what is really cool is that you made it so they can swap out the photo for a wedding photo!
