My little brother is getting married in two months! Today was the first of two bridal showers for his fiancee. Another occasion for me to wrap presents and make a card :)
I've used this card template for a few bridal showers so far. I print the picture of the bride onto thematically colored cardstock and then punch out flowers that also match the wedding's color scheme. Next, add rhinestones to the flowers for a little sparkle.
This has been a really busy week, and I meant to go buy ribbon or tulle or something pretty to wrap around the gift. I never had a chance to get to a store, so I looked in my drawer and found a roll of white crepe paper. I think it's a creative substitute, and complements my signature kraft paper wrap job. The little write poof on top I made in lieu of a bow.
My cousin also had a shower this weekend, and I made her the same card but with blue to fit her wedding colors.
I also had a baby shower at work a couple of weeks ago. Most of the pregnant women I know are having a boy or have not yet announced the sex. She is the only friend I have who is having a girl. So much fun making this card and wrapping :)
The bow is the first few steps of a tissue paper pom-pom, just without fanning it out.
