Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. I am excited to share a wedding card idea today. This elegant layout is also perfect for wedding invitations. I love how this turned out and I’ll definitely be making more color variations in the future!
Step 1: On a piece of 4 ¼’’ x 5 ½’’ cardstock, score at 3 ⅜’’ and 8 ⅞’’. Then adhere Stick-It adhesive to the inner left and right flaps of the card. The Stick-It adhesive is great for sticking down large pieces of intricate die cut. If you don’t have the Stick-It adhesive, a great alternative would be liquid glue with fine-tip nozzles, such as the On-Point Glue.
Step 2: Die cut the left and right flaps with Stampin’ Up’s Detailed Floral dies. This would create beautiful card openings with delicate floral designs.
Step 3: Peel off the Stick-It adhesive backing and adhere it to a piece of navy cardstock. Burnish the die cut area with a bone folder to ensure the two pieces of cardstock are fully stuck together.
Step 4: Trim the excess navy cardstock along the top and bottom edges with a pair of scissors. Then die cut the floral border again with the Detailed Floral die. I chose to die cut right up against the edge of the first die cut layer. Alternatively, you could leave a border along the die cut piece if you place the die further away from the edge.
Step 5: I stamped the coordinating floral stamp from Stampin’ Up’s Floral Phrases stamp set. I inked the stamp lightly with Brilliance Mediterranean Blue ink pad so that the shading details of the stamp could be captured.
Step 6: This stamp set also includes some beautiful sentiment stamps that are perfect for wedding cards. I decided to use VersaFine Clair Medieval Blue ink pad to stamp the sentiment since this ink is known for giving crisp, clean lines. It is my favorite type of ink pad for sentiment stamping.
Step 7: Since this card has asymmetrical folds, I added a ribbon belly band so that the card flaps would be kept in place. Then I cut a short piece of ribbon and tied it around the belly bend to create the bow.
Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project. In today’s video I create a simple Thanksgiving card and I share with you an easy way to ink blend directly on your stamp. This is a great technique to use on your silhouette stamps and a great way to change up the color from just basic black.
Hello Friends! Today we are going to have some fun and create a see-through Thanksgiving card with a sort of mosaic created from die cut leaves on a clear card base.

Hello Friends! Katy here with another project. In today’s video use my VersaFine Clairs with isopropyl alcohol to create a watercolor look. With this technique I created a wintry wedding card, but this will lend well to a birthday or holiday card as well.

Hello crafty friends! I’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a tutorial on how to make this acorn gift box.
Skill: Intermediate to Advanced Time: 45 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. For this project you will need the Fall Favors Box die set and the coordinating stamp set. A dark brown ink (VersaFine Clair used here), Kraft and other colors of cardstock.
Step 1: Out of kraft cardstock, cut six pieces each of the small (top) and large (bottom) of the acorn, along with the top and bottom hexagon pieces. Cut the stem out of a dark brown cardstock and the leaves out of your color of choice.
Step 2: Line up the stamp that adds the detail to the acorn top and then stamp all six pieces with a dark brown ink, VersaFine Clair Pinecone used here.
Step 3: Crease all of the score line on all the die cut pieces. Do not use a bone folder, just simply crease them on the score lines.
Step 4: Align the large (bottom) pieces of the acorn on the hexagon as shown. Tip: I used liquid glue to allow me to move them as needed.
Step 5: Align the small (top) pieces of the acorn on the hexagon with the square hole in it.
Step 6: Fold the stem piece on the score lines and add h=glue to create the stem and then thread it through the square hole on the top. After threading it through the hole, fold back the tabs and glue down as shown.
Finish the project by adding the leaves and some twine.
