How to Create Enchanting Wedding Cards

Quick answer: You can create enchanting wedding cards using the Classic Mouse Wedding Collection by Spellbinders Paper Arts. By combining the Happiest Place Press + Foil Plate with more Classic Mouse elements, card makers can craft whimsical, personalized greetings that beautifully celebrate love, anniversaries, and heartfelt milestones.

Handmade wedding cards hold a special kind of magic. When two people decide to spend their lives together, handing them a beautifully crafted piece of art speaks volumes about your love and support for them. Crafting a card from scratch gives you the freedom to tailor the colors, sentiments, and textures directly to the couple’s unique personality.

I know that creating a card for such a monumental occasion can sometimes feel a bit intimidating. You want everything to look absolutely perfect, from the placement of the sentiment to the shine of the foil. However, the beauty of the crafting process is deeply therapeutic. Taking the time to blend inks, press delicate plates, and carefully arrange die cuts allows you to pour your genuine emotions into a tangible keepsake.

Today, we are going to walk through a delightful project using the Happiest Place Press + Foil Plate from the new Spellbinders Paper Arts Classic Mouse Wedding Collection. This collection features a sweet mouse couple holding hands, surrounded by adorable hearts and elegant sparkles. It provides the perfect backdrop to unlock your creative potential and craft with confidence. Let’s gather our supplies and dive into a wonderful cardmaking tutorial!

How to make the enchanting wedding card step-by-step

Step 1: Prepare your background

Start by taking the Happiest Place Press + Foil Plate. This plate features a wonderful repeat pattern of our favorite sweet mouse couple holding hands, complete with sparkle and heart designs. You can use this as a letterpress plate with the Spellbinders Betterpress System to press a crisp, elegant image into porcelain cotton cardstock. Alternatively, if you want a luxurious glowing effect, use the plate with the Glimmer Hot Foil System and a roll of blush or gold foil. For our card, we’re going to use Opal foil on Chiffon cardstock that will create just a shimmery glow to the design.

Step 2: Cut out your main elements

Next, find some pretty dies from your stash. I’m using the bow from the Bow & Bell Scllop Frame die set and the hearts from the Frame & Sentiment set with brushed white cardstock. Run your design elements through your die-cutting machine. If you want to add extra layers, cut a few additional pieces from chiffon cardstock and glue them behind your colored image. This simple trick adds incredible dimension and color to your project.

Step 3: Create a beautiful sentiment

No wedding card is complete without a heartfelt message. There is a beautiful sentiment set in the collection called the Classic Mouse Wedding Sentiments Press + Foil Plate & Die Set. However, I don’t have it, so instead I’m using the dies from the Flags & Banner set that say “The Best Day Ever”. This fun banner pairs perfectly with the whimsical nature of the mice.

Step 4: Assemble and embellish your card

Now it is time to bring everything together. Attach an A2 color panel from brushed white cardstock onto a sturdy A2-sized card base. Die-cut your pressed background with a scalloped edge rectangle and mount it centered on the card front. Foam tape is your best friend here! Add liquid adhesive behind your die-cut sentiment banner pieces and arrange them across the center of the card. Finally, use the die-cut hearts, and bows to scatter around the design.
