Anniversary Card

Mom and Dad will celebrate 66 years of marriage this week.  I mailed a card last week.

I started with a pink card.  I added a piece of blue handmade paper adhered with quick dry adhesive.  I added a piece of satin ribbon at the top held with tiny pink brads and white flower sequins.

I added 2 light pink hearts below the ribbon adhered with 3D foam tape.  They are punchies done with the Stampin Up Sweetheart punch.

I added an oval greeting in the bottom right hand corner adhered with 3D foam tape.

Hopefully, it arrived on time.

25th Wedding Anniversary Card

Here's the card I made for the happy couple celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary.

I started with a grey card which supports the silver theme.  I then embossed a white layer with the Cuttlebug DeVine Swirl folder.  Trimmed the piece to leave a small border.  I added a greeting that I used in this class.  It was adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.  I punched the 2 hearts from silver foil adhesive with the Stampin Up Sweetheart punch.  The numbers 25 was cut with the GoGoBoots sizzlet set.  These were adhered to the card front above the sentiment.

25th Anniversary Wishing Well

I was asked to make a pretty box for a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary celebration taking place soon. It's designed to hold monetary donations for the blessed couple.

I chose a box which I planned to cover and decorate.  I thought it needed some weight so I created a false bottom into which I added some heavy material.  The false bottom was hot glued into the bottom of the box.  I then wrapped the box with silver gift wrap.  First the bottom then the top.  Where the papers joined I added 2 lengths of brown silver edged ribbon held in place with double sided tape.  I created a large bow with silver ribbon and adhered that to the front of the box.  It is held in place with Zots.  To the hole in the top I added some silver tape to make the edges smooth.  I added a die cut Stampin Up Top Note in Chocolate Chip card stock.  I cut out the shape of the hole with an E-xacto knife then adhered the die cut onto the top of the box.  I added 2 SU Sweetheart punchies from the adhesive tape on both corners.  I will be placing it on a glass platter with a white paper doily to set off the box.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.

50th Wedding Anniversary Invites

I completed the order for these wedding anniversary invitations today.  The request was yellow with a bit of turquoise and 50 should be included.
I started with a yellow card.  I embossed a white layer cut to 4 x 5.25 inches with the Cuttlebug Juli's Garden folder.  I pull a piece of turquoise ribbon with a silver accent across this layer and taped the ends to the back.  This was then adhered to the card front.  The scallop accent was created with a Stampin Up Scallop circle punch in the same yellow as the card, then a 1 3/8" circle punch, then a 1.25" punch with the 50 color printed on it with a yellow circle.  I then added a rhinestone heart over the 50. This accent was adhered over the ribbon with 3D foam tape. The insert was customized with the invitation information.

50th Wedding Anniversary Sample2

Here's the next sample I put together.

I started with a Stampin Up Whisper White card.  I cut a quarter sheet piece of Daffodil Delight yellow to leave a small border and stamped it with the Soft Swirls background stamp with Summer Sun ink.  I wrapped the Tempting Turquoise ribbon across the yellow layer and it was adhered to the card front. I cut the Deco Label framelit in white, then one from the Beyond the Garden DSP in DD and WW. I created a circle accent with the Number It stamp set in TT.  I mounted the larger white one behind the ribbon. The yellow Deco Label diecut and circle accent is mounted over the ribbon with 3D foam tape.

50th Wedding Anniversary Card Sample1

I was asked to design and create invitations for a 50th Wedding Anniversary.  I put together 3 ideas, I am presenting here 2 of the options I put together.

The request was to have a mainly yellow card with a bit of turquoise. I printed one of my alcohol ink backgrounds from the other day onto a golden yellow card.  I placed a skinny border all the way around.  I added yellow grosgrain ribbon across the card front layered onto a teal card stock strip which coordinated well with the background.  I added a floral accent which included a silk white flower, a golden yellow silk, then a small handmade paper teal one held in place with a tiny white brad.  The sentiment was printed in the left hand bottom corner in teal.

Card - Invitation Samples

I had a couple approach me to design some invitations for their 60th wedding anniversary which is the diamond anniversary.
Here's the samples they did not select. Check back later for their selection.
I selected a black card.  I embossed a white layer with the SU Elegant Bouquet folder.  I printed a 60 on to bottom right hand corner.  I glued the white layer to the card front then applied several crystal rhinestones.

This card was a white on white concept.  I started with a white card and added a layer embossed with the Cuttlebug Devine Swirl folder. The next layer was cut with one of the SU Apothecary Framelits onto which I layered 2 die cut hearts which were embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots on left and Craft Concepts In Bloom on the right.  I added a crystal rhinestone on the left heart.  The framelit die cut and the hearts were raised with 3D foam tape.

I chose ivory card stock for this one.  I printed some SU! Designer Paper from the Beau Chateau series. I slipped a Cuttlebug ribbon slider in Marina Mist onto the ivory organza ribbon and wrapped it around this layer and taped the ends to the back. I added a crystal rhinestone heart onto the centre of the ribbon slider.  I color printed the "invitation" on ivory card stock and cut it with another SU! Apothecary Framelit.  It was mounted to the card front with 3D foam tape.

Here's the one they selected.

I started with a dusty lavender card.  I embossed a white layer with the Cuttlebug Rebecca embossing folder and trimmed it to leave a tiny border.  I cut a lavendar scalloped oval with a Spellbinder nestabilities.  I color printed the information in lavendar onto white card stock then cut it with the corresponding smooth ovals in the SB nestabilities. These were adhered to each other then the element was mounted to the card front with 3D foam tape.
