Anniversary Card - 67 years

Mom and Dad celebrate their 67th Wedding Anniversary this week.  Love does endure.

I chose an ivory card base.  I added a layer of Anna Griffin designer paper leaving a small border.

I wrapped a piece of moss green satin ribbon around the designer paper, taped the ends to the back and adhered the layer to the card front.

I created the focal element with 2 Stampin Up Sweetheart punches in off white.  I embossed them then mounted them to the gold scallop oval.  The oval was adhered over the ribbon on the card front with 3D foam tape.

Wishing them many more years of love and happiness.

Sunday Brunch

Mom and Dad celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary last week.

The card base is brown.  I embossed a cream layer and added a bit of fiber before adhering it to the card front.

I die cut hearts with the Sizzix Tipsy Heart die.

I embossed them then layered the light in front of the dark. Added a button on the light one.




A couple of my sisters & brothers in law and niece took them out for Mother's Day and the anniversary.

The food was excellent.  Eggs Benedict was very good and the desserts were delicious.

The hotel did really well to accommodate the crowds for Mother's Day.   We were seating quickly and had time for visiting, reminiscing, and catching up on the news.

My other sister was there on Saturday and permed Mom's hair and looked at her 65 year old Jaguar sewing machine.  It is needing a few new parts.   It was the first zigzag machine model sold in Canada.  I can tell  you that machine has sewn a LOTS of clothes and quilts.

I'm so glad as daughters we each have our strengths and help Mom and Dad in different ways.

Wedding Anniversary - 40th

I made this card for my sister and brother-in-law who are celebrating 40 years of marriage at the end of the month.

I started with a Stampin Up Cherry Cobbler card.  I punched the 2 hearts from deep red glitter card stock.  I color printed the greeting onto a piece of Whisper White which was just under 3" wide.  I adhered the 2 hearts above the greeting with Zots. I ripped the bottom edge of the greeting layer. I layered it onto a piece of Basic Black and did the same to it's bottom edge. I placed 2 pieces of white twill ribbon on the diagonal to the upper right hand corner and adhered them to the card front.  The first one has a small fold in it.  I trimmed the ends with scissors. I then layered the heart layer onto the card front leaving a small border top and right hand side.

Wedding Anniversary

I made this card for my Mom & Dad who will celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary this week. 

I chose a Stampin Up Pool Party card.  I printed the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes onto the card front in Lost Lagoon.  I cut the largest of the Spellbinder Heart Circles Nestabilities from a piece of shiny card stock in a similar color as Pool Party.  I pulled a piece of narrow white satin ribbon through the holes around the circle.  I cut a smooth circle with a Spellbinders Smooth Circles Nestabilities which measured 3" in diameter from no shed silver glitter.  This was adhered in the centre of the heart circle.  I punched two SU Sweetheart punchies from the same card stock. These were adhered offset from each other in the centre of the silver circle.  The whole accent was adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.
