Want more? The Tiffany & Co. Explosion Cake in a Box!

Hey there!  I know, I know, enough about the Tiffany & Co. and those darn WHITE SATIN RIBBONS!!!!  But, you know what?  I just had too!  I can't get that trademark blue outta my mind . . . I realized that I created the Prince Ian card for the TGF CHA Relay Challenge in that color!  So not planned!!!

Since the wedding is on Saturday, I couldn't wait any longer to make a card/gift for my gf.  There's much to do for the wedding - - rehearsal, dinner, manicure, pedicure, check into the hotel, pick-up the dresses, and then the actual wedding.  Phew, thinking about it makes me exhausted! 

Here's what I created for my gf and her husband-to-be, an Explosion Cake In A Box. 

Yup, you guessed it . . . A LOT OF WHITE SATIN RIBBON/BOWS & THE TRADEMARK BLUE!  Not the exact blue, but pretty close to it.  I used a Currency silver CS and embossed the white CS with my embossing folder.  I handmade the paper flowers and used my Sizzix 3D Three Tier Cake Diecut.   I tried to stamp the sentiment onto the vellum, but it came out horrible so I ended up printing the sentiment off the computer.   I also made a pocket behind the cake to insert a gift card or to place the moolah in.

Here's a closer look at the stamped image of the bride & groom.  I got this stamp a long time ago by Juju's Tiny Treasures.  I didn't want my message to the bride & groom to be on the base of the Explosion Box so I inserted my message of well wishes on the inside of the lid/cover.  I hope she likes it!  :)

TGF CHA Day 4: My Prince Charming!

I'm feelin' it!  My sweat beads are turning into waterfalls!  I took one look at TGF CHA Relay Challenge digi image #4 & screamed . . . Prince Ian is one good lookin' guy!   Sorry 1LuvnDad!  :{  Well, sadly to report that the Relay had abruptly ended due to some unforeseen problems . . . but I must say, good problems!  There were sooo many participants that the server just couldn't handle the uploads and high traffic.  Amazing!  But, at least those who participated had a blast and got some FREE digis!  Here's Prince Ian . . .

I figured Prince Ian would go great with Princess Anya, but wanted to reflect my "luv" story.  Yes, my hubby is my Prince Charming, but I'm so not the Princess type.  I'm kinda like, well, WS Megan.  She's rough around the edges and kinda "TITA".  TITA, is a slang we use in the islands for saying, "She's so unlady-like."  It is what it is . . . rough, tough, and not girly-girly.  With that, here's my card! 

I did a Gate Card measuring 4-1/4" x 6".  There's my castle on the front!  Thought about tying a white satin ribbon bow, but I would just get nightmares seeing it!  If you don't know the story about "WHITE SATIN RIBBONS" check my older posts!  I, along with some of my gf's, had to tie about 1000 white satin bows for my gf's wedding . . . the wedding is this Saturday so I probably won't be posting come Friday and Saturday. 

Ok, when you open up the card, there we are ~ Prince Ian & Megan.  Together forever!  As the sentiment puts it, "Fairy tales do come true {there's proof} I have you!"  I got that sentiment as a digi wordart by Heidi Larsen.  Do you see the glass tennis shoe Prince Ian is holding?  No stiletto shoes for me!  :)

Well, that's it for now.  How has the JOURNEY & the relay been for you?   I had FUN, FUN, FUN!!!  Stay tuned because I have a little montage & tribute to the TGF CHA Relay to show you (when I'm done with it!)   :)

TGF CHA Day 3: Boy Oh Boy Toby!

Good morning! Another day in the TFG CHA Relay . . . boy, my feet, or I should say hands, are feelin' the aches and pains of this amazing race! :) What's the gain without any sweat and tears? Anyway, meet -- Toby Cub!

OMGosh . . . he's such a sweetie, I adore him!  Toby Cub reminds me of my son - - high energy, always silly, and runs around in his underwear all day long!  My son is ALL BOY & wanted my card to be just that.

I followed the instructions from Beate Johns tutorial on the Tri-Shutter Card, click {HERE}.  So much cutting, but worth it when you see the results!  Toby Cub is playing amongst the frogs and bugs, it just screams FUN!  I've added some cute embellishments to bring this card to life - - a frog charm that's attached to the button on the flower and the frogs that were cut using my Cricut.

I had a jumpin' 'ol time making this card.  Thanks for JOURNEYing with me!  We are almost there . . . the finish line is just ahead of us!
