A handmade wedding card is a keepsake that will leave a lasting impression. Think it’s hard to make this greeting card? Let me show you that it’s not! I did some very simple watercoloring on this card and I know you can do it too!
It is so easy because you first emboss which gives the image some “ridges” that hold in the watercoloring. I love doing this and it’s so quick and easy. Want to learn how to make a handmade wedding card that’s this beautiful yourself? Keep scrolling for the video, measurements, and supply list to make both of these cards.
This stamp set is perfect for handmade wedding cards. It’s elegant, yet super easy to use. The video gives you all the instruction you need to accomplish the watercoloring!

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy the card designs I share. I hope that you are inspired to make them!
Beautiful cards thanks for sharing!
It’s my pleasure, Theresa!
I have never tried watercoloring but you made it look easy on this card. i will be trying this.
I also love your templets class and I have made all three.
It really is easy; give it a try! Watercolor can take a little practice but it’s fun and has such a beautiful look. I’m so glad you’ve made the templates! That makes my heart happy.
Jackie, thank you for this demo! I love the idea of going around the outside edge with a softer color! It is GORGEOUS! I am learning a lot from your posts! Thank you so much!

Neat idea, right?! Thanks for watching.
I have a couple wedding cards I need to make before September 1. Your video today helped me decide what to do. The technique is perfect and I have the perfect stamps and dies to create my own. Thank you, Jackie for another great tutorial.
I’m glad this filled a need you had. Enjoy making your cards!
Beautiful card, Jackie! Love the idea of lightly painting around the image before cutting out. One thing I really dislike about dies is the white line it leaves around the edge …sometimes I deliberately stamp on colored cardstock to avoid this. Also love the fun fold videos!! I now have a “template box” and use it all the time!! Thanks!
Have a stamp happy day, Ann!
Oh my word, those cards are gorgeous! I’m looking forward to checking out the previous Happiness Abounds tutorials too. I love your fun folds!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the other tutorials!
What kind of paper do wedding cards use?
Here I used Stampin’ Up! card stock. It’s a great quality paper.
Jackie, I love how you have just the right idea when I need some inspiration! I’ve used this technique before, but had forgotten it until I saw your post this morning!
I know you did this post quite a while ago, but just in case you see this comment come through, know that I am so grateful for you and wish you a wonderful 2023!
Thank you Tami! There are so many different card-making techniques it’s hard to remember them all! I’m glad this post could serve as a reminder for you, this technique makes beautiful cards! Hope you have a wonderful 2023 as well.
