Handmade folding wedding card

Always when we go to a wedding with our friends and relatives, in addition to the gift itself, we also look for congratulatory words that we say to the newlyweds from the heart. Present after all, he was handed it over, and especially so there was no memory left of him, but leaving even a few congratulatory lines as a keepsake would be a lasting memory and good memories. At any moment you can take a postcard and read those treasured lines that are always nice to re-read years later. But another question, of course, is choosing that very greeting card. After all, of course, you can buy them everywhere: in the store, in the supermarket, and even in the market. But these, as a rule, are all postcards that are already stamped and with uniform words that are printed the same way in each postcard. But these words are not from you and, accordingly, the congratulations will not be sincere, but here there is already a rather interesting and creative way out. You can make a wedding greeting card yourself; to do this, you just need to carefully study and try this master class.We will also make the wedding card unusual; it will be folding and tabletop, so you can always put it in front of your eyes, which especially adds intrigue and memory of you.

To create a postcard you need to take:
• Scheme of the postcard base;
• A3 sheet of watercolor paper;
• Scrap paper from a wedding theme series;
• Strips are also made from wedding scrappaper;
• Two pictures;
• Hollow cut pink heart;
• The flower is pink and the petals are white, also made from cuttings;
• Metal heart pendant;
• White and pink latex roses;
• Stamens are white sugar;
• Pink small stamens;
• Stamping on white with pink ink “On the Wedding Day”;
• Curb hole punch;
• Ribbons for bows in pastel colors;
• Shiny cabochon centers in the shape of flowers;
• Sewing machine;
• Double-sided tape and glue gun;
• Stationery knife;
• Scissors, ruler and pencil;
• PVA glue.




We take a large sheet of watercolor, lay out the diagram in front of us and, to begin with, cut out one large rectangle 14*36 cm.




Then, according to the diagram, where it is boldly drawn with a pen, we make cuts with a stationery knife. The remaining places shown in the diagram are made with creasing (bending lines).




From scrap paper we cut out one blank 13.8*14.8 cm, one 7.8*14.8 cm and two 2.8*14.8 cm. From the strips we make openwork stripes in pieces.




We cut out two inscriptions, glue them onto large blanks, then glue the pictures and glue the openwork strips onto narrow strips with PVA glue.




We sew each glued element with a machine. Now we glue all the blanks onto the base.




We also stitch everything separately.




We knit small bows from different ribbons, weave the stamens into flowers and glue them decor, as in the photo. We glue everything except the large cut out heart with a glue gun, and the heart itself with PVA glue. Done, the card is placed both on the table and stored in a special place. Thanks everyone!
