Sophisticated Wedding Card

Wedding is an important event in life for the newlyweds themselves, as well as for their close environment. On this responsible and long-awaited day, the responsibility lies with absolutely everyone: The newlyweds carefully select the outfit, choose a suitable venue for the celebration, order transport, music, choose rings. Close people, parents, girlfriends and comrades in turn fuss and pick up gifts for the heroes of the occasion. Basically, at our weddings how this procedure goes, they give either household appliances, bedding, souvenirs, but mostly many people prefer to congratulate the newlyweds with a cash gift, and they will purchase for themselves what they consider necessary for their life together. But the most important thing at the wedding is a verbal congratulation with sincere wishes, as well as a beautiful memorable greeting card. It’s possible to buy an envelope or a postcard without any problems, but it’s somehow trivial, but making a beautiful handmade wedding card will be already very pleasant and will leave the most sincere impressions about you. Just this master class we will learn a lesson on the manufacture of a wedding card of complex shape. It will be a clamshell card, which neatly turns into a regular card.

We need such items for MK:
• A4 sheet of watercolor paper;
• Notebook sheet in a box for the development of the scheme;
• Wedding and romantic scrapbook paper, three different sheets;
• Stamping “On Wedding Day” in watercolor with burgundy and black ink;
• Pictures of the wedding, only five pieces;
• Openwork corner and border hole punch;
• Different flowers in both color and shape;
• Hollow mother-of-pearl heart from felling;
• Stamp acrylic wedding rings, a set of wedding stamps with different elements, black ink;
• Ribbon of white organza and white satin in the hearts;
• Pink butterfly from cutting down;
• The beads are round and heart-shaped in white;
• Pendant two hearts;
• Additional tools for work: frosting, stationery knife, sharp scissors, a simple pencil, eraser, lighter, glue gun.



First, we take a notebook sheet in a box and on it we draw a diagram of the basis of a complex postcard. The expanded size of the postcard will be 18 * 30 cm. We mark out the basis of watercolor.



According to the scheme, we make scoring lines, for this we use a ruler and scissors. The main thing is to lay the base on a solid surface. Red stripes in the diagram indicate a cut, therefore, exactly under the ruler we make cuts with a clerical knife.




Fold the card with external and internal bends, as in the diagram. Now we take a scrapbook paper and measure out the following sizes: 2 pcs - 5 * 18 cm, 2 pcs - 5 * 9.8 cm, 2 pcs - 4.8 * 9.8 cm, 1 pc - 7.8 * 9.8 cm and 4 pieces - 4.8 * 4.8 cm. We cut out all the figures.




We glue the pictures with tape on scrapbook paper and sew them individually. Cut out congratulatory inscriptions.




All the details of the scrapbook paper are now glued to the base and each element is stitched with a machine along the edges.




We stamp the separate rectangle from watercolor paper with rings, make an openwork corner and make a loop for a tape in the upper corner with a hole punch. The card is folded, folded 10 * 18 cm. We make a paper castle. We pass the strip with a curb hole punch, assemble it into a ring and glue it so that it is worn on a postcard. Glue the inscription and decor.





Glue the rest of the decor, as in the photo. In the middle we make a pocket for money. We fold the bill and insert it into the pocket. Done! Very gentle and unusual!
