Hi there
Today is my 16th wedding anniversary :). I am so blessed to be married to a wonderful caring man. We have spent the day together (I never work my wedding anniversary) celebrating this very special day in our lives.
Here is the card I made for Phil.
I used the card on page 20 of the Occasions Catalogue for my inspiration and made a few changes to make it ‘mine’.
I dry embossed a piece of Lemon Lime Twist with the new Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – wrapped a piece of linen thread around it then added a bow and adhered it to the card base of Thick Whisper White.
For my coloured heart image I stamped it in VersaMark then added White Embossing Powder and applied the colour (Lemon Lime Twist, Sweet Sugarplum, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig & Pink Pirouette) with our Stampin’ Markers. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet set.
The wooden hearts are applied with Tombow Liquid Glue – I’ve found this is the best method to adhere these to card projects.
We have a rule in our house that no store bought cards are to be given for birthdays, Christmas or Wedding Anniversaries – this is easy for me but a bit harder for Phil. This year he contacted one of my downlines and asked her if she would make him a card that he could give me – very sneaky – and this is the wonderful card she created for him. I love the colours and design of this card. I don’t have this set so it’s lovely to receive a card using it.
The images and sentiment are from the Perennial Birthday set – page 17 of the Occasions Catalogue. This set coordinates with the Perennial Birthday Project Kit which makes 16 cards. Check out the video below to see what’s included in the kit and the cards you can make. This kit also comes with a cute box to store you cards in ready to be sent.
