Vintage Car Wedding Card with Star Gatefold Technique
Hello, card-making friends! Today, I’m excited to share a unique tutorial for a truly elegant handmade wedding card. Designed with the new Stampin’ Up Classic Wedding Stamp Set and Dies, this card highlights soft tones and a nostalgic feel that’s perfect for celebrating a special union.
Vintage Wedding Card Inspiration
Creating a wedding card is always special, but this one is even closer to my heart with its vintage “Just Married” vibe, complete with an antique car and bumper cans! I opted for a soft, monochromatic Petal Pink theme, but you can easily customize this design by choosing colors that resonate with the couple’s wedding palette. Plus, by adjusting the sentiment, this card makes a lovely anniversary card too.
Design Elements and Techniques
For this card, I used the new Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder on Petal Pink cardstock, adding Whisper White Craft ink to give it a soft, vintage texture that’s full of charm. The embossed background, paired with the antique car design, creates a timeless feel that’s sure to be cherished.
I also tried a new cardstock color for the base: White Willow, which brings a gentle contrast to the Petal Pink tones. White Willow has quickly become a favorite of mine—it’s unique and works beautifully alongside Basic White, offering a new look without replacing it.
If you’re curious about the difference between White Willow and Basic White, I’ve added a side-by-side comparison for you!
