Celebration Tidings Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! I've only got two anniversaries this month, so this card will be going out for those.

This design was inspired by the color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments and the sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.

 Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Beautiful Leaves Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! I mentioned in my last post that I was behind on my cards this month. Here's another anniversary card (so many in October)!

This card was inspired by the challenge at Just Add Ink and the tic-tac-toe challenge at Paper Craft Crew (bottom row - die cuts, leaves, frames).

I love the colors in the inspiration photo so I decided to try some ink blending on the back of some vellum cardstock. I added an adhesive sheet to the back before die cutting the large leafy motif. The frame was cut using two Stitched Rectangles Dies and the vellum was attached to the back and trimmed before adhering it to the card front. 

 I had planned to make six of these cards but it was more labor intensive than I expected, so there are only two.

Have a great day, and happy stamping!

In Symmetry Anniversary

 Hello and welcome back! I've definitely fallen off the grid for a bit - major family crisis last week really messed with me - and I'm super behind on my cards this month. These anniversary cards are going out tomorrow. I'm surprised at how many people got married in October!

I combined the challenges at Freshly Made Sketches and CAS Colours & Sketches to come up with this design. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees and made a horizontal card instead of a vertical one.

I used my Stamparatus to create the center stamped panel - each color of stamp was on a different plate. It makes assembly line stamping so much easier! I layered the stamped panel onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock to make it stand out a bit from the card base and popped the whole thing up with dimensionals. A little resin heart in the center of the flower finishes off this card.

I still have more anniversary cards to make this month but at least I'll be making a dent with these!

Have a great day, and happy stamping!
