Wedding Card

 

Wedding season is coming upon us now that the weather is getting nicer. I’ve wanted to do a more formal 3D cake card from Crafting Creatures ever since this birthday card turned out so nicely.

This time I used Silhouette double-sided adhesive with their silver glitter and really put a lot of sparkle on this card.  The background design, the cake, the cake icing, and the stand are all included in the cut file.  You can read my tips on cutting the Silhouette double-sided adhesive sheets in this post.

Here is how the glittered adhesive looked before I added the cake. The “Congratulations” sentiment is cut from silver vinyl in the font Lavanderia Sturdy.  I added it to the card after I laid the adhesive sheet down with its white backing still on, before sprinkling on the glitter.  It still collected some of the microfine glitter around the edges, but I think there’s just no way to avoid getting glitter everywhere.

I had to use a hot glue gun to get the cake to stick to the card front with all that glitter. I used hot glue to put the flowers (Prima) on, as well.  The tiny rhinestones are from the Recollections brand at Michael’s.  The cake stand is cut from a scrap of shiny metallic cardstock I’ve saved for who-knows-how-long.
