Two posts in one day, I'll meet myself coming back soon! 😁  I had a request for an exploding box for a wedding.  The brief was neutral colours with a hint of music and somewhere to put some money.  I made the cake using a circle of card for the top and strips of card long enough to go around the circumference of the circle then snipped into it along one of the long edges so it would bend and glue to the top.  I made three of these in different sizes and decorated with ribbon and paper flowers.

I made two pockets on the inside, one to hold a card for a message and one to hold some money.  I hope my customer likes it.

Good afternoon all,

Sorry I've taken so long to update my blog,  these gorgeous hot summer days are too good to ignore so I've been enjoying the outdoor life rather than being cooped up in my little craft room, but as the nights have been a bit cooler of late I caught up on a couple of orders I had in the pipeline.

This one is for a couple of bicycle enthusiasts 1st Wedding Anniversary.  I used a Kanban background card to make the gate with and cut some shapes out for the leaves and bikes on my Scan N Cut. My customer didn't want flowers but I felt it needed something, hence the leaves.  I inked the edge of a square piece of card, punched two holes in and threaded some paper string through for the sign,   I think the tones work quite well and was very pleased with the end result.
