Tutorial

1. 12×12 Cardstock, trimmed at 12×6 and scored on the 4″ and 8″ mark. Fold as Trifold, inward.

2. On a white piece of cardstock, about 4×6, run through Cuttlebug in D’Vine Swirls folder. Stamp perfect medium lightly over raised surface and brush with Pearl Ex Macropearl.

3.  Here comes the hand-craft part. 🙂 I trimmed the embossed card stock by hand into what resembled a wedding dress for me, using the right and bottom sides as the base, to fit over my tri-fold card.  Using small strips of white satin ribbon and plain old Elmer’s Glue Stick, I added ribbon lining to help delineate the actual dress. After trimming the train to fit the outside of the tri-fold card, I attached it using spray adhesive to ensure a good stick.  After attaching the dress, I trimmed the outside of the tri-fold card to fit the dress.

4.  Repeated the same general idea on the left side, using black and white scrap paper to outfit a tuxedo and vest. Again, trimmed the card to fit under my tux after adhering it securely. Once the “bride and groom” were in place, I trimmed a piece of light blue card stock to fit the inside, waiting for the sentiment. Also added a tiny ribbon bow to my tux, and a larger bow to my dress’ bustle. Adhered with liquid Elmer’s for a better stick.

5.  Lastly, I adhered a a clear sticker with a Corinithians quote – I can’t recall where I got it, it was in my supply from before I started organizing better. 🙂 Also, please ignore my fingers in all the pics – tough to keep this guy closed! 🙂
