Turtledoves and Heart Wedding Card or Wedding Invitation

If you are invited to a wedding from special friends or relatives, you will need a card to write those perfect wishes for the happy couple. Instead of buying a card, you can craft this elegant card. The stitching requires a little time but gives the card a beautiful touch.

For this project you will need:

- 1 long blank white textured card with matching envelope
- textured cardstock matching card
- white thread and needle
- piercing tool with piercing mat
- white half pearl or bead
- patterns below
- printer for text or text sticker
- 3-D foam pads
- jewel glue

Tip: You can also use the patterns to create beautiful wedding invitations that are quick to make. Instead of stitching the holes, leave them just so. Thread silver wire with silver heart beads and wrap the wire around the heart randomly. Secure the ends on the backside. Adhere the heart with double sided tape and then adhere the doves with 3-D foam tape. Wrap the heart with thin wire threaded with silver heart beads.

Craft Pattern: Turtledove and Heart Templates

Instructions:

1. First print your greeting to the center bottom of the card in a color of your choice.
2. Print out the patterns so that they will fit onto the card.
3. Pierce the holes and stitch the doves. Tape the ends to the backside of the doves.
4. Once the doves are complete, adhere pieces of 3-D foam tape to the backsides and lay aside for the moment.
5. Stitch the heart from the center to each of the designated holes. Adhere the thread ends to the backside.
6. Glue a half bead to the front side of the heart covering the center hole.
7. Adhere the heart to the center of the card using double sided tape.
8. Adhere a dove to both sides of the heart.
