CRAFT & CHAT – EPISODE 1
A few weeks ago, I got to attend the wedding of one of my best friends from high school and college – Sean, to his partner Evan! It was a beautiful day, and I had a wonderful time celebrating the newlyweds!

One of the things Sean & Evan wanted for their wedding day was that everyone could gather together on the balcony at the Walker Art Center for their ceremony. Severe weather threatened to ruin their plans but luckily the rain stayed away! Here’s a group of us with the Minneapolis skyline in the background.
Of course, I had to make a wedding card for the big occasion, which I’m excited to share with you below. Including… episode 1 of a fun Craft & Chat series I’ll be doing on YouTube! Let’s check out the card here:

This fold was one I found on Pinterest, but I came up with the rest all on my own! I love the look of the neutrals (Basic Beige and Early Espresso) with some similar tones of blues (Lost Lagoon and Pool Party). The Vanilla twine fits in nicely too (see my dilemma with the ribbon in the video (linked below), lol!)
Here’s a look at the inside of the card:


The card base is cut at 11″ x 5-1/2″ and then I scored it at 4-1/4″ and 8-1/2″. I trimmed off just a little bit of the inside layer so it wouldn’t warp the card when it was closed. For the angle on the card, you could cut anywhere.
Here’s a look of the card with the envelope (this is where I used the ribbon I had originally cut for the card!):

Beautiful card. I like the non traditional use of the leaves.
Thank you Joan!!
