THE team at DoCrafts have kindly designed two exclusive projects for us - a wedding invite and a card for the bride and groom...
You can adapt either of these to your own style; change the paper or the colour scheme or make them as they come.

Instructions:
• 1. Cut a rectangle of patterned rose paper from the Papermania Confetti Collection, slightly smaller than the front of the card. Mat onto silver mirror card. Wrap a length of silver ‘Wedding Day’ ribbon around the card and secure the ends on the reverse. Mat layers again onto Royal Orchid Core’dinations card. Attach this to an A6 white card blank with Stick It! 3D foam dots.
• 2. Add pink adhesive stones to the corners of the patterned paper and ends of the ribbon for decoration.
• 3. Tie a matching bow from more ribbon, trim the ends to a neat 45° angle and attach with a transparent dot to the ribbon strip.
• 4. Cut out a pink heart from the patterned paper and layer onto royal orchid Core’dinations cardstock. Cut around leaving an even border of colour showing at the edges. Attach to the card, slightly overlapping the ribbon at the bottom, using 3D foam dots.
• 5. Attach the love birds self-cling clear stamp to the acrylic block. Ink up the stamp with silver pigment ink and stamp onto spare white card. Whilst the ink is still wet, liberally shake over silver embossing powder, shake off the excess powder back into the pot for re-use. Heat the image with a heat tool until the powder turns molten and shiny. Be careful not to overheat and burn. Leave to cool. Cut out the embossed love-birds image and attach to the centre of the heart with 3D foam dots.
• 6. Apply ‘Wedding Invitation’ silver outline stickers to the top right of the card in an appropriate space in the pattern.
