Wedding Memory Box

This wedding memory box is one of my absolute favorites. I initially found the plain brown box at Hobby Lobby in their 80% clearance section. I had no clue what I was going to do with it but it was too good of a deal to pass up. As my friend's wedding was approaching, I really wanted to do something more personal for her. I decided to use the box as a "memory box" for her and her new hubby to put sentimentals in like the invitation, corsages, etc.


I knew right away I wanted to do their wedding date in vinyl on the front of the box. The vinyl was cut out of Oracal 631 - Olive.


I then took Mod Podge and glued a patterned paper at the bottom of the box. I used Cosmo Cricket's Social Club Cocktail in "Now Spin Me Round". I also added the flip side of the paper (the red polka dot) to the underneath of the lid.


The lid was looking a little boring so I decided to go old school and do their initials "T+K" in an arrowed heart. The heart was cut from the "Monster Love" svg file from Lettering Delights. Click HERE to check it out on their site. Their initials were rub-ons from Doodlebug's All Mixed Up - Beetle Black large.


I also used string to make a banner that had their wedding date. The numbers were cut from Collage Press' Sunnyside Lane cardstock.

Chandelier Wedding Gift Wrapping


I LOVE Tiffany Blue and Black together. That color combination inspired this pretty package for my friend Kelly's wedding. The wrapping paper and black satin ribbon was left over from my wedding (back in 2007). The chandelier and lettering was done in black vinyl. I find the vinyl much easier to apply than paper, especially for lettering.

The font I used for their names was CK Ali from Ali Edwards.
