Festive Wedding Decor Ideas

-
Hi everyone! I hope the summer heat hasn't hit you like it has me, over here in sunny Florida. It's a scortcher!
Well, since I'm on the topic of hot, I thought I share some pictures of some hot and fun wedding decorations I made for a friend's wedding last month.
My dear friend commissioned me to make decorations for her entrance table, favor table, and memory lane table (which features a full scrapbook spread also designed by yours truly :)

My friend wanted to make her favors special for her guests, so she shared 4 bakery items inspired by each of the bride and groom's grandparents. The cookie jars were decorative to hold the cookie favors and I decorated the tops with flowers from SVG Cuts, the 3D Mums and Fall flowers kit.


This is a collection of all of the items I made, but they were spread out at the wedding reception onto the different tables.


Here are a few closer pictures featuring a lot of flowers.


I used SVG Cuts 3-D letters for the L and M.


How about some fancy doilies to spruce things up? I also used sand from a nearby beach to weigh down the jars and to hold the flags.








I didn't make the antique boquet though, that was the brides and she used it as a prop at the reception.


Ok, I had a helper too, this is one of my cats, Zip, who has taken on the nick name Buttons...Don't ask me, my husband just randomly starts calling her a new name every so often, but I think it works. She looks so majestic here, like she's so proud of my hard work :) At least I hope so.


So I hope this inspires you to create your own decorations for that special touch, whether it's for a wedding, a birthday or a baby shower, people will flock to hand crafted decorations, and you get fun bragging rights (along with SVG Cuts...if you haven't checked them out, you've got to see what awesome files they offer!)

Coffee Filter Fall Leaves

-

I know it's still hot out in most places right now, but in Florida I'll take any excuse to bring on cooler weather or at least the idea of it, so I want to share a fun and easy tutorial for making fall leaves out of coffee filters. I purchased some white coffee filters from the Dollar Tree, some $1.00 spray bottles (Target, Walmart and Michaels have them), and I used food coloring mixed with water and pearl powders to make my shimmer sprays. On either wax paper, freezer paper or a Ranger Craft Sheet, start spraying the colors until you have some variety of yellow, orange, green and red. Then start to soak your coffee filter until it is filled with color. Set it aside to let it dry or you can bake it in a 200 degree oven for faster dry time. I also used my heat tool and that work great too. Step 1 . Create a leaf template onto 110 lb paper using a real leaf or an existing silk leaf and trace onto dry coffee filter. Step 2 . Cut out the leaf shape....

Aged Treasure Chest

Good sunshiny morning!  I have a very cool treasure chest to share with you today.  My friend is getting married with a nautical theme, and she asked me to make her a treasure box to hold the cards at the gift table instead of the classic birdcage or decorative box.  We played around with a couple of proto-types, but they were all too small to hold a large card, let alone several.  That's when I knew I was going to have to get creative and play with a couple of different kits to get the look we were after.  I used these kits from SVG Cuts: Ryan's Play Date I used just the sides and bottom of the box My Day with Dad I used the lid from the tool box, but not the sides of the lid (I cut a few extra slits in the tabs so that it would fit around a semi-circle). French Quarter Ironwork I used the fleur decorative piece, and just cut it to fit. I also used some basic shapes from my library such as the h...

Christmas Blessings

Hello all, I have been vacant from posting due to school...(blech) but now I am free! I just finished my last two courses that qualify me for my AA degree (only took me forever to get to this point), so I am so excited to be finished with that portion of school. Now on to some fun stuff!  I have made a lantern for Halloween and Fall, so I thought I would stick with the theme and make one for Christmas to give to my sister since she doesn't have much in the way of Christmas decorations. I took these pictures with the tealight led, but I gave her a color changing light too, so she can swith it up. My nephew (he's 7) took a look at both and decided he liked the color changing light the best, and wanted to put it in his room...I guess they can share. I will start by crediting Mod Paperie with the idea project she posted, hers is totally awesome and her details are ridiculous (in a totally awesome way of course)!!! On to the project... Here are the supplies I...
