Photo Collage Pop Up for the Bride and Groom

Last month was full of fun and excitement for our family as our niece and her fiancé tied the knot here on Oahu. 
For a personalized wedding card, I used the print and cut function on Make the Cut design program to create a heart shaped window with the couple's names welded inside and the date of their wedding along the right side of the heart. 

Behind the window, I placed a photo that was taken of the couple a year ago when Sam surprised  Ashley with a wedding proposal on the beach.

Inside, I used my all time favorite Karen Burniston Photo Collage Pop Up mechanism die to animate photos of the couple from their wedding website as well as a few I had taken at their wedding shower. Kept the decorating to a minimum using only a few random glitter hearts and a die cut word "love" from Karen Burniston's Pop 'N Swap die set.

I used opalescent glitter cardstock matted onto textured silver foil cardstock for the inside panels. No skimping here on bling and shine!

I printed up an image of water color koi and used an envelope template cutfile to create an envelope for our gift. The red envelope and pouch were quickly put together a few days before the wedding to take to the couple's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony. I found a neat stylized heart shaped Chinese character for the word "Happiness" which was rendered into a cutting file using Make the Cut. I cut the characters from gold foil cardstock and backed it with  red glitter to make a tag for the pouch and an embellishment backed with pearlescent gold paper for the red envelope.
