Hello CutCardStock.com friends and welcome back! It’s Kristie Larsen here to share with you a very simple but very elegant wedding card. Here is my completed card.
I started with some Flavours Gourmet card stock in a light grey. I then embossed some flowers with white embossing powder. I started small, laying out the images one by one until I got a look that I wanted.
I purposely left it non-symetrical, because I think this added some modern elegance. I added a double layered sentiment using some vellum underneath some Flavours Gourmet dark blue. I love how it creates a nice shadow. I finished it off with some rain stones.
I think this is a great way to make up wedding cards as they happen through the year. Once you know the brides colours you can change the card base and sentiment colours to match. I think the embossing is a simple yet elegant way to make up a card. I have many friends who don’t like a lot of layers on cards. It keeps it hand made yet modern and not too crafty. This card will suit many styles! And it comes together so fast. A great thing for when June comes around and so many people get hitched! One night in the craft room and you can make up a handful of them. Thats my kind of design!
And that’s it today! Thanks so much for joining me and I hope you get a chance to hop over to the store to check out the last minute sales going on for the month of October. Get your hands on a few sample packs of Flavours Gourmet for all your wedding card making needs!
A friends wedding is coming up, and the venue has this great ivy wall out front.

Winter is officially over, and I am SO ready for warmer weather, aren’t you?I know most of the country still needs a little thawing time before the blooms and bugs appear for the year, but here in Texas the bluebonnets and firewheels are already sprinkled over the open grassy spaces. That means the chill is…
Hello everyone! Nicole here today for my first blog post. I’m excited to be here and share my green project for the month. I recently started working with the youth at church and more specifically the girls: ages 12-17. I love doing things for them to make them feel special and part of that is…
This card is simply elegant. I see its purpose beyond weddings. What embossing folder did you use? -Deidra
Deidra, this was created with heat embossing using stamps and embossing powder rather than an embossing folder. Hope that helps!
