I Do Champagne Flutes
Hi bloggers! Today's card looks a bit complicated, but the video breaks it down in steps, so it is very easy to recreate if you like.
The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue, a really lovely card for a wedding, and with a different colour way and sentiment would be suitable for an anniversary card too. Off to watch the video. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Great card Sue, I enjoyed the video very much. Love those flowers and the tip for the glossy accents on the champagne glasses. Thank you,have a good day. Xxx
Morning Sue. Sitting with a smug smile on my face and this is because I made something quite similar to this sample with the flutes, I had to change the die to an older release but it still fit in really well, the lady that ordered the card text me to say her sister and husband were thrilled to bits with their 30th anniversary card and it all looked so special as naturally it was mostly made with pearl cardstock with a hint of the same colour taken from her wedding bouquet - pale lilac (wisteria). My'keeper' managed to find a map which prints out in a very soft grey, barley showing rather than the strong colours of a normal map so I managed to find the road a church where they married and used it to back the frame which may sound weird or yak to some reading this lol but the print was so pale it was just about noticeable so didn't overpower the rest of the card, apparently it bought tears to the eyes of the 'bride' of 30 years, so thank you Sue for giving me the tools to help the couple celebrate a very special day. I shall pop off now to see how you made your sample look so special as do all your celebration cards, have a lovely day and be happy xxx
Woohoo! We're in the big-time now! Sue's videos have attracted advertisers! Congratulations! The one I saw was for a frozen dessert that combined cake and ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Today was the first time I saw one. Have you been seeing them before now? I'm glad there's another revenue stream to ensure that our designer keeps producing designs we love.
My favorite part of this card is how great those little Easter bows look at a wedding!
Well, we made it through Monday. Let's see if we can do Tuesday, too.
Good Morning Sue Thank you for sharing to days stunning card. The I do die set is a new addition to my die collection as I have had many wedding cards to make for my charity cards. Thank you for creating the video. Steph, It is lovely to read about your card as well and very rewarding when out creations make someone very happy, makes the hard work worth making. Crafty hugs and well wishes to all.... Wendy
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a lovely creation today, will watch the video later. Like the idea that the champagne flutes can be used for any celebration as well.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

What a wonderful keepsake this would be and the colour could be changed to match the couple's wedding theme and why not change the sentiment to adapt the design for any celebration.

Hi Sue, a gorgeous wedding card. Elegant and suitable for an anniversary card. Beautiful flowers. Thanks for your video which I will catch up with when we are home.
Hi Sue, It's a beautiful card, suitable for all kinds of manner of remembrances. I love it, must try stamping the outer mat - used to do it a lot but I kind of forgot it lately. Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, a total contrast to yesterday's CAS card but I love it. I believe in pulling out all the stops for wedding and anniversary cards, they are so special as is this one that you have created. I'm glad you made the video, it shows the true colours used as I'm afraid the still pictures are showing me several shades from pink through to grey. This is not always a bad thing as it shows us what it could like like in a variety of colours.
Steph - your anniversary card sounds lovely, perfectly tailored for the couple. Jan - you will be so relieved to have your house back to normal, fingers crossed you get through the next season unscathed. Happy crafting.
Hello Sue, What a great card for a wedding or anniversary. Thank you for making the time to video you beautiful creation, it was so clear and easy to follow. Hugs Brenda xxx
