Wedding Week – Congrats to you two….

Stampin' Up! UK wedding card

I hope you are enjoying my week of Wedding themed projects!

Today I thought we would move away from being part of the wedding party, and make a card as a wedding guest – the perfect congratulations card. I get married in August and if I receive just one hand stamped card like this one I will be a super happy bride! Saying that I won’t be opening any cards until 3 weeks after the wedding, after several members of my family have been cat sitting in my house, so I might even get this card!

Its another super simple card from me, I’m loving white space at the moment. I’m not sure if that’s just my style (it always was when I made 12×12 scrapbook layouts) or whether its just because my head is so full of wedding planning and work that I need some space somewhere!

Using the Your Perfect Day stamp set (about to retire! so grab it now!) the cake is stamped in Sahara sand stamped off once. The Congrats was then stamped over the top in Versamark ink and heat embossed in gold.

So pretty

Wedding Week – Create your own Envelopes

Stampin' Up! UK Envelope Punch Board Something Borrowed

I think the Envelope Punch Board is awesome! I really do, it’s such a great tool and I use it all the time; not only for envelopes but boxes and bows too! I was putting together the blog posts for this week, and realised how perfect it would be to have all your wedding stationary completely coordinating – even down to the envelopes. And then I thought, we have the most perfect tool for that! So, here we are; How to Make an Envelope using the Envelope Punch Board!

Stampin' Up! UK Envelope Punch Board Something Borrowed

What great Designer Series Paper to work with too, I have been loving this Sahara Sand / Whisper White combination recently, and I think it makes great neutral wedding stationary. In fact I have some of this paper hoarded away ready for the Wedding Album! (Its getting rather close now!)

Measurements:

To create an envelope perfectly sized for a A6 card, you will need a piece of Designer Series Paper that measures 8 1/4 x 8 1/4″.

Now, I know, normally I try to give you both metric and imperial measurements, however, when your using the Envelope Punch Board, the imperial measurements are much easier to see and use, so this time, I’m sticking with inches!

Insert you Designer Series Paper into your punch board punch, and line the left hand side of the paper up with the 3 5/8″ mark.

Punch and score using the scoring tool provided.

Turn your Designer Series Paper a quarter turn and line the previously made score line up with the guide on the punch, and punch and score again. Repeat this on all 4 sides.

Turn your Envelope Punch Board around and use the reverse side of the punch to round the corners of your envelope.

Fold and burnish your score lines using the side of the scoring tool.

Use your adhesive of choice to stick your envelope together, using a glue dot to secure the top flap (once your handmade card is inside, of course!)
