Make DIY wedding cards and decorations

Make a card base and layer up papers, ribbon and lace. Cut paper to 17×16.5cm, mat onto white card and machine-sew the edges.

Take some pink designer paper. Cut out the petal templates using a pair of sharp scissors.

Using a Distress ink pad and an ink dauber, gradually build up some colour on the edges of the paper petals.

Wrap a single petal around a cocktail stick and stick it down using tacky PVA. Use your fingertips to bend back the top of the petal.

Build up the petals in layers, overlapping them for a more realistic look. Curve the petals over as you go.

Once you’ve reached the desired size, use a pair of sharp scissors to cut the flower away from the cocktail stick.

Cut white card daisies and add adhesive pearls to the centres. Round the petals by curling them around a cocktail stick.

Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of white card using black ink. Use a clear acrylic block to position the stamp centrally.

Use the free templates to make an arch in kraft card and top it with your sentiment. Add die-cut foliage and your flowers.

Using the free templates, cut out the dress and the bride and groom’s body parts. Paper piece the characters together.

Decorate the wedding dress with hand-cut white flowers and embellish with pearls. Use a pair of tweezers to position them accurately.

Attach the bride and groom to the card front using sticky foam pads. Finish with more pearls and gems for added sparkle!
