ISO Large Lacy die

[beaddict]

My daughter wants me to make her wedding invitations and the ones she likes best have either a Lacey flap or have the lace bit fold gatefold style.
Her invites need to be bigger (taller) than the standard A2 size though.
A good compromise would be a Lacey die that would cover the front of an 7 1/2"-8" card front so that I could make a Lacey element to put over a solid background.
Does such a thing exist?

Memory Box and Tonic Studios are a couple of places that might have what you're looking for. Sometimes I like to just browse Memory Box's online catty ... so much gorgeous!

Congrats to your daughter, congrats to you!

have you looked at any of the A7 spellbinders dies?

Amazon has older ones sometimes if you love a retired one.

( a whole bunch of them have lacy frilly edges and could work.) I know I seen something recently that was for wrapping lace from the edges in.

maybe crafters companion? or Sizzix may have some also.

Do you have cutting machine that big?

I like the A7 idea and just use two per card-maybe as a gatefold?

I would look to Europe because they make things bigger.
Or....you might save yourself a lot of time if you buy 12 x 12 pre cut paper lace and cut that down since you will have to do quantity? If you cant get the right color or in a metallic you want, you may yet have to fool with it.

Congrats on your daughter

Try Crafters Companion. I have 2 large lacy edge dies that fit 5x7 card fronts

Thank you. It's been a long time coming!
We are currently crossing our fingers that the venue won't have to cancel due to Covid restrictions. The wedding is October 30th

Thank you everyone! I will explore all the options presented. Sometimes it's just hard to think when there's so much going on and my brain has been lacking in its ability to focus the last few weeks 😁

I use my gemini electric cutter if using glitter CS as sometimes the cuttlebug doesn’t cut as clean

I have made many wedding invitations and there are several dies that might work as an overlapping gatefold for a 5x7 invitation:
SU So Detailed (I think this one is retired)
Crafters Companion Sophia, Isabel, Chantilly Lace, Splendid Swirls, or Garden Party

Spellbinders Flower Garden

Sizzix Foliage Wrap, Floral Wrap, or Foliage Edges



I made my daughter's gatefold wedding invite using the Crafters Companion Toulouse die.
