Wedding Arch Card featuring Arched Elegance | Stephanie Guse

Hi crafters,

It's Steph here! I've got another card project I can't wait to show you. There's something so fun about looking at your supplies in a new way, and today's card is the perfect example of that! I was inspired to transform the arch from the “Arched Elegance” die set—originally designed as a doorway—into a beautiful wedding arch. Of course, no wedding arch is complete without flowers, so I reached for the florals from the Fragrance Notes and used them in a fresh, creative way to bring everything to life. With bright pink tones and a cheerful, feminine feel, this card is full of springtime charm and perfect for the happy couple!

How to create this card:

1. Cut and fold an A2 side-folding card base from white cardstock.

2. Cut an A2 panel of white cardstock.

3. Hot foil the Interlaced Quatrefoil Press Plate onto the white cardstock panel using Pastel Pink foil.

4. Inkblend the entire panel using Bubble Gum ink, gradually fading out the colour.

5. Stamp two sets of the florals from the Fragrance Notes with Detail Black ink on white cardstock.

6. Use the coordinating stencils to ink-blend the following:

• Stencil 1 Apricot (top) Sparkling Rose (bottom)

• Stencil 2 Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum (top) Bubble Gum (bottom)

• Stencil 3 Grassy Knoll (big leaves) Eucalyptus (small leaves)

7. Die cut both sets of florals with the coordinating dies.

8. Die cut the Arched Elegance die from white cardstock. Use the arch only and reserve the door and light for a different card.

9. Die cut two additional Arched Elegance arches from white cardstock, stack and adhere for added dimension.

10. Stamp the “Here’s to you” sentiment from the Fragrance Notes stamp set using Detail Black ink on white cardstock.

11. Die cut the sentiment using the coordinating die.

12. Adhere the die-cut flowers to the arch die cut as shown on the finished card, using both liquid and foam adhesive.

13. Adhere the floral arch to the center of the Bubble Gum ink-blended panel.

14. Adhere the sentiment in the center of the arch on the Bubble Gum ink-blended panel with liquid adhesive.

15. Adhere Clear Drop: Iridescent to add shine and complete the card.
