Here are some tips for creating the perfect wedding card with Stampin' Up!
Choose a Color Scheme
The first step in creating a beautiful wedding card is to choose a color scheme. You want to pick colors that will compliment the couple and their special day, so think about the colors of their wedding. You can also look at their wedding photos to get an idea of the colors they used. Once you have a color scheme in mind, you can start shopping for Stampin' Up! products that will coordinate with it.
Pick a Cardstock Base
The base of any wedding card is the cardstock. Stampin' Up! offers a great selection of cardstock in a variety of colors and finishes, so it's easy to find one that coordinates with your chosen color scheme. You'll also want to consider the texture and weight of the cardstock. If the card is going to be mailed, you'll need to make sure the cardstock is thick enough to withstand the journey.
Choose a Layout
Once you have your cardstock picked out, it's time to choose a layout. Stampin' Up! has a wide variety of card shapes and sizes to choose from, so you'll be able to find one that will fit your design perfectly. You can also choose a foldable card or a card that opens up to reveal a special message on the inside.
Select Sentiments
The sentiment you choose for your card is just as important as the cardstock and layout. Stampin' Up! has a great selection of sentiment stamps to choose from, so you can find something that fits the couple's style and personality. You can also find stamps to add a special touch to the inside of the card, such as quotes or Bible verses.
Pick Embellishments
The fun part of card making is adding all the little details. Stampin' Up! has a wide selection of embellishments to choose from, such as ribbons, buttons, and gems. Choose embellishments that fit your color scheme and add a touch of sparkle to your card. You can also use die-cut shapes to create unique accents and add texture to your card.
Add a Special Touch
Once you have all the pieces of your card put together, it's time to add a special touch. Stampin' Up! has a great selection of 3D items to choose from, such as sequins, beads, and glitter. You can also add a special message on the inside of the card or on the envelope to make the card extra special.
Put it All Together
Once everything is picked out and you have your card assembled, it's time to put it all together. Stampin' Up! offers a variety of tools to help you assemble the card, such as adhesives and glue dots. Make sure to use the right adhesive for the material you are using, such as a permanent adhesive for cardstock or a repositionable adhesive for fabrics and ribbons.
Finish it Off
The last step is to finish off the card. You can use Stampin' Up! products, such as ribbons or die-cut shapes, to add a special touch to the envelope. You can also use a stamp pad to add a stamp to the envelope or the card itself. These small touches will make the card extra special and give it a personalized touch.
