Strong of Heart Anniversary

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for some anniversaries this month.

The colors were inspired by the challenge at Just Add Ink, and the sketch is from TGIF Challenges this week.

This is a pretty straightforward design. The heart was stamped with Versamark on Basic White and embossed with Gold embossing powder before coloring in the flowers and leaves and fussy cutting. The sentiment is from Many Messages and was stamped on a scrap of Basic White, then the single label was die cut with the Messages Die. A bow of gold metallic ribbon was attached to the card front and the label adhered over it with Mini Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Tin Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a cousin celebrating a 10th (tin/aluminum) wedding anniversary.

 

When I saw that the 10th anniversary was tin, my first thought was this Tin Tile embossing folder. I love the detail in this folder! I embossed the hearts with the Subtle embossing folder and layered them on the front, then added the sentiment die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps.

Card of the Day - Wonderful Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for the many October wedding anniversaries among my family and friends.

So it's actually two cards! When I decided to use the Rainbow Glimmer Paper, I realized I could make the same design in two different colorways, one from the top half of the paper and one from the bottom half. I embossed a coordinating panel under the glimmer paper and added the sentiment banner on top stamped in another coordinating color. It still looked kind of plain and I wanted to add a vellum die cut filigree heart, but I couldn't get it to stick to the glimmer paper, so the two-piece stamped heart was Plan B. I think I like this better!

This card was inspired by the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Card of the Day - Happy 40th Anniversary!

Hello and welcome back! When you reach a certain age, your friends start celebrating milestone anniversaries. We've had a few 40th's over the last couple of years and this month there are two more. Forty is the ruby anniversary, so I knew I needed something with red. Here's the card:

The Meant to Be stamp set and coordinating framelits were meant for Valentine's Day, but I think they are great for anniversary cards. I used some of the Lovely Lipstick foil paper that was in last year's Sale-A-Bration catalog, embossed it, and layered it with Early Espresso. For some reason, this combination makes me think of a box of chocolates! I added the sentiment and a lace bow, then popped a few of the tiny hearts on as well. 

I think this picture shows the actual color of the foil paper better. My son left his photo light box up with the LED lights, so I figured I might as well take advantage of it!

These will be popped in the mail this weekend, along with some more birthday cards. June is a really busy month, but I'm trying hard to keep up!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

WWYS 204 - Meant to Be

Hello and welcome back! Today's card was created with two different sentiments for different occasions. One is a thank you card for this month's customer orders and the other is an anniversary card.

I just love this Grapefruit Grove foil paper in the Sale-A-Bration catty!!!! I need to get some more before it's gone - it's been very popular! 

I used the stamp set's coordinating framelits to die cut the heart, then embossed it with the Lace Dynamic embossing folder. I used another die in the set to cut the small hearts out of the scraps - don't want to waste any of this paper! - and added them in the corners. The Take Your Pick tool is perfect for placing tiny pieces like these!

This card is for the challenge at What Will You Stamp?

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
