Mr. & Mrs.

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – here’s wishing you a wonderful week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a side step wedding card featuring our Lessebo Pitch Black and White cardstock. I totally love a black and white color combo with just a pop of color. B&W can be used for nearly any occasion but I think it’s most dramatic for a wedding card. I typically make center step cards for some reason so I made a side step card this time with standing panels which was a fun change!

I cut the card base and three standing panels from Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock along with layering panels from Lessebo White cardstock. I dry embossed the vertical panel on the left with the Cuttlebug Script Embossing Folder and tied a gray gingham ribbon. I stamped sentiments and images from the Stampin’ Up For The New Two stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the three standing panels, adding just a little bit of color. The finishing touch was adding a few iridescent gemstones.

I added a panel to the back with an additional sentiment. I’ve included a side angle shot so you can see the construction. This is a fun one! ;)

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a fantastic week! I’m super stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Curious Metallic cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a pretty wedding card. I’m so smitten with this cardstock and absolutely love this color combo!

I created a standard size A2 top fold card base from Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and then cut a background layer from Curious Metallic Violette cardstock. I stamped the flower element in Versamark on Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock, heat embossed it in gold and then die cut it with a coordinating die. I stamped the banner in purple ink on the ivory cardstock and cut it with a coordinating die. I adhered these elements to the front of the card and added some tiny iridescent gemstones.

I embellished the inside panel with strips of the Curious Metallic Gold Leaf and Violette cardstocks and a smaller embossed and die cut flower, and then stamped the inside sentiment in purple ink.

One more peek… loving how this turned out! Have I mentioned how much I love this color combo?!

I’d love to enter this card into the following challenges:
