Elegant Wedding Cards | Spellbinders Copperplate on Your Wedding Day Collection

Elegant and romantic Glimmer hot foiled handmade wedding card in soft peach with a scripty embossed background and darling die cut floral accents.

A few months ago, a follower asked me for wedding card inspiration, and I couldn’t resist diving into the timeless elegance of Spellbinders’ Copperplate on Your Wedding Day Collection by Paul Antonio. This collection, featuring gorgeous calligraphy BetterPress plates, was the perfect starting point for creating romantic, foiled wedding cards.

Monochromatic Elegance in Peach

Elegant wedding card with 'On Your Wedding Day' sentiment foiled in peach satin and then die-cut with a Scallop Labels die. Embossed Bellini cardstock background and soft floral accents complete the design

For both cards, I used Peach Satin Matte Foil on smooth white cardstock. I embossed Bellini cardstock, creating a soft, monochromatic look that feels warm and sophisticated. The large, scripty sentiments—”Always and Forever” and “On Your Wedding Day“—take center stage, adding a touch of calligraphic artistry.

To enhance the elegance, I embossed the backgrounds with the Scribbled Letters Embossing Folder—a new favorite in my craft room! The subtle texture adds depth without overpowering the delicate foiling.

Finishing Touches

For the “On Your Wedding Day” card, I die-cut the sentiment using the Scallop Labels Die, which frames the lettering beautifully. I also added a few die-cut flowers in Bellini and Chiffon cardstock, softening the design with delicate floral accents.

Foiling Tips for a Flawless Finish

Trim and round the edges of the foil before using a Glimmer Machine to prevent unwanted over-foiling marks.
Roll slowly through the Platinum 6 Machine for even pressure and a crisp foiled impression.

These simple steps make a huge difference in achieving that professional, high-end look!

Final Thoughts

WWC237 – Michelle\’s Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Hello and Welcome! This week we are all creating feminine cards at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge website.  Michelle is our hostess.
A handmade card using Echo Park\'s  Wedding Bliss patterned papers.
I have a friend getting married so I made this card for her wedding.  I just received SSS\’s Clustered Leaves Outline die and I thought it would be perfect for the occasion.  I die cut the leaves in a soft neutral from Echo Park\’s Wedding Bliss Paper stack and again in white for the accent leaves. I also die cut and stamped the sentiment from Concord and 9th Happy Day.  The background paper is from the same Wedding Bliss paper pack.  The background has lovely printed bridal phrases like \”They lived happily every after.\”  I assembled the card and added three pearls to finish.

This card was difficult to photograph since it was so monochromatic. I gave it my best shot, the neutrals are richer in person and the card looks more dimensional.  

Wishing you a lovely day!

Watercolor Wedding Card

We are so happy to be attending the wedding of a friend this month.  Our friend is 52 and has never been married and he is engaged to a lady that is 51 and has never been married!

Water color Wedding Card on Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigment Paper with Kuretake watercolors.
I love to watercolor this beautiful stamp from Concord and 9th (Happy Day).  I used Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigment Paper, which is a lovely soft eggshell color.  I silver embossed then used my Kuretake watercolors.  I used a stitched die to trim the panel down and then adhered to a kraft A2 card.

Handmade Wedding Card

My daughter is getting married in our backyard in September so I wanted to make a handmade card with seasonal color.  I LOVE The Concord and 9th Happy Day stamp set.

Handmade Wedding Card.
I silver embossed the cake and sentiment on watercolor paper and then watercolored with Daniel Smith watercolors.  I love the bright vibrant colors.  
It was cloudy while I was photographing so I thought I would try some outdoor shots.  Nontraditional for cards, but I like them.
My inspiration for the orange flower came from Just us Girls Challenge #451
I frequently enter the Addicted to Stamp Challenge as I like their prompts.  This week is \”Make Your Mark\”. 
Thanks for stopping by!
