Hi!
It's
Anja here. I finally got my hands on the new
wedding and
nested dies. For my first card I made a clean engagement party invitation with a matching envelope. This can easily be turned into a wedding invitation or even a wedding card.
This is what I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (
Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set,
Rose With Wedding Rings,
Pair of Doves),
- Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Dusty Concord)
- silver VersaColor pigment ink,
- white card stock for invitation base and die cuts,
- white paper for printing,
- violet card stock,
- black pen,
- Wink of Stella glitter brush pen,
- WRMK Envelope Punch,
- paper glue,
- adhesive foam pads.
And this is how I did it.
First I die cut the base for the invitation. I used the largest die from Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set and made it longer. I cut a rectangle from violet card stock that was a few millimeters smaller than the inside of the stitched rectangle.
This is how I prolonged the stitched rectangle. First I cut through only half of it.
Than I turned the paper around and put the die it the already cut lines. And again I only cut it to thee part that has not been already cut. You have to be careful with this so you don't cut to far because the die will leave a mark.
Then I die cut all the other pieces and colored them with Distress Inks. I used Wink of Stella Marker to add a sparkle to the diamonds.
For the envelope I used WRMK Envelope punch. It's so easy to make a matching envelope to go with your card. For my invitation I needed to cut a paper size 21x21 cm and started to score it at 7,9 cm. I also cut a smaller stitched rectangle that would fit the name and the address.
I designed the invitation text and printed it on white 220 g paper. And then I just glued all the pieces together. I glued the doves with adhesive foam pads.
You can check all the other new dies in Janet's video.
Have a sunny Sunday!
