If you want something a bit different from the usual wedding invitation colours then this is a great modern colour scheme for you to use that has a real luxury look. This design is easy to produce in bulk quantities and looks very professional too.

Cream, Chocolate & Gold Wedding Card

Items you will need to make this card:

Small Square (120mm x 120mm) Pale Cream Card Blank
Pearlised ivory/cream card
A4 Mulberry Tissue Paper – Brown
A4 plain paper such as ordinary printer paper
Woodware Super Lever Craft Punch – Square
Woodware Big Lever Craft Punch – Square
Woodware Large Lever Craft Punch – Square
Small Hearts – Gold
“Yellow Gold” Wedding Rings
Wedding Invitation Banner
Strong Craft Glue
Sticky Foam Pads

Directions:

Take the pearlised ivory card and punch out two super squares, two big squares and two large squares using the three square craft punches.

Place the sheet of brown mulberry tissue paper in between two sheets of plain paper and then punch out two squares again of each of the three punches sizes. Placing the tissue paper between two sheets of paper allows you to punch cleanly through the tissue paper without it tearing as it is too thin to punch through on it’s own.

Using craft glue layer the squares on top of each other so you end up with four sets of three layered squares, two starting and ending with ivory card sandwiching brown mulberry tissue paper and two starting and ending with brown mulberry tissue paper sandwiching ivory card.

Stick these four square layers to the card blank spaced as shown in the picture ensuring you leave a gap at the bottom of the card for the banner.

Use craft glue to stick a small gold heart to the centre of the top left and bottom right squares.

Link two pairs of the split “yellow gold” wedding ring embellishments together, close the gap on each ring and use a strong craft glue to carefully stick one pair to the centre of the top right squares and the second pair to the centre of the bottom left squares. Take care to turn the join on each ring so it is hidden under the edge of the other ring. You will need to use a strong craft glue to ensure the rings attach properly and leave the card flat while the glue dries.

To finish each card off, use sticky foam pads to stick a Wedding Invitation banner to the bottom of the card. The banner shown in the picture is a cream with chocolate writing banner which is no longer available but the design works just as well with a cream banner with gold writing on it.

You can also make Evening Invitation cards to match by simply using an Evening invitation banner.

Card Idea by Janine

A modern wedding card topper design that you can use to make your own co-ordinated Wedding, Evening, Order of Service, Thank You cards and of course Menus. Use these toppers with wedding banners on pearlised card blanks for perfectly co-ordinated wedding stationery. Pictured further down are 12 examples of the topper in different colour variations and pictured immediately below are examples of finished cards using two of the toppers.

Silver Modern Heart Card # 1 Silver Modern Heart Card # 2

These are the various items used to make these toppers:

Simply select the card/paper type and colour of your choice from the list above to suit your requirements for your wedding stationery colour scheme.

Use the super duper square and super square craft punches to punch out backing squares from the card/paper types you have chosen.

Important Tip: If you have chosen Mulberry tissue paper for one or both of your backing layer squares, do not try to punch through it on it’s own as the punch will not cut through it cleanly and it may tear as it is too thin. Simply place the sheet of Mulberry tissue paper between two sheets of ordinary plain paper such as printer paper and then punch through all three layers for a clean cut.

Use craft glue or sticky foam pads to stick the smaller super squares on top of the larger super duper squares and then stick a silver modern heart to the centre of the squares.

Some suggested topper designs within the white, silver and lilac colour scheme are shown pictured below. Click on any image for a larger picture and a description of the card/paper types and colours used.
