Make a Beautiful Winter Wedding Card

Posted on by

By Helen Gullett

Hello crafty friends!

Today, I want to share with you this Winter theme wedding card that you can make to have it ready in your handmade card stash.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 15-20 minutes

Direction:

Step 1
Cut out a piece of light gray cardstock into 4.25 inch x 5.5 inch.
Run it through your embossing machine with the snowflake embossing folder.
Lightly rub the StazOn Pigment ink up on top of the embossed cardstock to add the white color on the snowflake.
Since it is pigment ink, the ink will take a longer time to dry so you can use a craft heat gun to dry the ink.
Cut it with one of the Double Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Step 2
Stamp the wedding cake image on a piece of watercolor cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink using a stamping tool. I stamped the image twice to get a bolder print on it.
Memento Dew Drop and Sheer Shimmer Sparkle to create sparkle watercolor paint. Dab the ink on the craft mat and add some of the sheer shimmer, mix together.
First paint the cake with the Peanut Brittle ink. Dry the watercolor paint with a craft heat gun after painting.
Next, color the flowers with the Love Letter ink. Dry the watercolor paint with a craft heat gun after painting.
Then, color the leaves with the Pistachio ink. Dry the watercolor paint with a craft heat gun after painting.

Step 3
Then color the berries and other branches with the Teal Zeal ink. Dry the watercolor paint with a craft heat gun after painting.
Last, color the base stand with the Gray Flannel ink.  Dry the watercolor paint with a craft heat gun after painting.
Fussy cut the wedding cake with micro-tip scissors.

Step 4
Cut out a piece of vellum paper with one of the double stitched oval dies and one of the double stitched pennant flag dies.
Stamp the sentiment on a piece of gray cardstock with StazOn Pigment Snowflake ink pad using the stamping tool.
Cut the sentiment with the smaller size of the double stitched pennant flat dies that match with the vellum.

Step 5
Add the embossed background to the card base with Tear It! Tape.
Add the wedding cake on the oval vellum with some of the On Point Glue, then add them to the card with some of the Tear It! Tape.
Stack the vellum pennant and sentiment pennant together using some of the Tear It! Tape and add them at the bottom of the cake with the same tape.
Embellish the card with some of the white gems using the On Point Glue.

I wish I could capture the sparkle glitter watercolor paint on the cake with my camera. But I love how this Winter theme wedding card turned out, and hopefully you will like it too!

Thank you for stopping by our blog today. Have a fabulous day!

Let’s Make a Beautiful Wedding Card

Greetings! It’s Kathi here to show you how to create a wedding card using trending wedding colors of dusky rose, pink, rose gold, and gold.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Time: 1.5 hours

Directions:

Step 1:

Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the wedding cake from the Dreams Come True Cling Stamp Set onto a 4” x 5.25” panel of white cardstock and onto repositionable label paper.

Step 2:

Use small scissors to fussy-cut the label paper version and place it atop its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.

Step 3:

Place a ruler horizontally over the base of the image.

With an ink sweeper, sponge Pixie Dust VersaMagic ink over the ruler and the masked image.

Step 4:

Use a pouncy tool or a stiff paint brush to pounce Rose Gold Delicata Ink.

Step 5:

Move the ruler to cover the top of the image and secure with magnets.

Use an ink sweeper to sponge Pink Petunia VersaMagic ink.

Remove the ruler and let it dry. I heat set to expedite the drying process.

Step 6:

Use a piece of scrap paper to cover the top part of the image panel. Place the Mandala stencil over the base and secure with magnets.

Sponge image with Pink Petunia VersaMagic to create a tone on tone pattern.

Repeat process with Sponge Rose Gold Delicata Ink to add a rosy golden shimmer to the stenciled pattern.

Step 7:

Use Copic markers to color the wedding cake. Add shading and fine details with colored pencils. Use chalk pencil to add shading below the wedding cake.

Step 8:

Position one of the plain rectangle dies from the Passe Partout Rectangles Die Set cutting side down on the image panel. Use repositionable Scotch Tape to secure it in place, then die cut the panel.

Step 9:

Cut a piece of white cardstock to 6.5”. Position the scalloped rectangle and the plain rectangle dies from the Passe-Partout Die Set on the panel, secure with repositionable Scotch Tape, and run the panel through the die-cut machine.

Step 10:

Use a sponge dauber to sponge Gold Dazzle Delicata Ink around the edges of the scalloped panel. Heat set.

Step 11:

Use a sponge dauber to sponge Rose Gold Delicata Ink around the edges of the plain panel. Heat set.

Step 12:

Position the stitched rectangle die from the Passe Partout Die Set onto the gold-sponged scalloped rectangle panel, secure it in place with repositionable Scotch Tape, and run the panel through the die-cut machine. The die will cut a rectangle from the center of the gold-sponged scalloped panel, leaving a stitched border framing the aperture.

Step 13:

Use a sponge dauber to add Rose Gold Delicata to the periphery of the die-cut. Heat set.

Step 14:

Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the gold scalloped die-cut onto the rose gold plain rectangle panel.

Use the tape to adhere rose gold die-cut to the aperture of the gold scalloped die-cut then adhere the matted image panel as the top layer.

Step 15:

Cut a piece of white cardstock to 8.75” x 6.125”. Score at 4.375” and fold to form an A6 card.

Place a piece of scrap paper into the center of the card. Use a sponge dauber to apply Pixie Dust VersaMagic ink to the periphery of the white card. Heat set.

Adhere the matted image panel to the front of the card.
