Elegant Card for a Wedding or Engagement

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to create a simple but elegant wedding card. 

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Time: 45 Minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need a stamp set with a floral image and wedding sentiments. An A2 sized die and some wedding themed dies, a stamp positioner and a shimmer ink pad.

Step 1:
Using a Misti or stamp positioner and a grip mat place the cardstock panel in the center. Place the floral stamp on the corner of the panel and ink with shimmer ink (I used Delicata Silvery Shimmer) stamp, you may have to stamp more than once to get a clean image. Turn your paper, no need to move the stamp thanks to the Misti and ink it up and stamp again on the other corner. This ink is a pigment ink therefore it takes a little longer to dry, you can speed that up by heat setting it.

Step 2:
Cut the panel with the die keeping both pieces. Also cut out the wedding themed dies.

Step 3:
Place the card base in the corner of the Misti and then glue the borer of your die cut pieces down first. I always place it in the corner of the Misti, this helps me line it up.

Step 4:
Add the main die cut piece using foam tape to give it dimension.
Tip: after adding the foam adhesive to the panel also add some liquid glue, this allows you to move the panel to get it in place.

Stamp the greeting on a strip of paper and cut it out. Add all of the elements to the card.

Make a Beautiful Winter Wedding Card

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!

By Neva Cole 

In today’s card making tutorial, I will show you how to make a Textured Metallic Wedding Card using VersaMark, Delicata, and Embossing Powder.  This is a stunning card to make for a bride and groom as they celebrate their wedding day.

2021-Jun-Neva-Metallic-Wedding-Card-Step1

Step 1

This technique involves inking the FLAT side of an embossing folder for either 2-D or 3-D folder.  This folder is 3-D with both indentations and slight protrusions.  Ink the folder well using a brayer and VersaMark ink.  Place white cardstock in folder and pressure emboss.

Step 2

Sprinkle liberally with Black Embossing Powder and heat the card from below with a heat embossing gun.  Allow cardstock to cool.

2021-Jun-Neva-Metallic-Wedding-Card-Step3

Step 3

Lightly rub Delicata Golden Glitz over the surface of the cardstock.  The high areas will pick up the ink.  This creates a great three dimension look of black, white, and gold.  Trim the finished panel to 4” x 5 ½”.

Step 4

Stamp “Mr.” & “Mrs.” in Delicata Golden Glitz and heat emboss with Iridescent Embossing Powder.  Fussy cut the banners with scissors

The embossing powder adds some glamour and shine to this simple yet fun card. Just like the couple – fun colours combined together with a touch of glam and pizazz.
Mboss embossing powder really takes any project t the next level. Available in a  huge variety of colours they truly are amazing.
