Diamond Wedding Anniversary

It is was my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago, such a big occasion couldn't go by with out a card! I think my card will be out shone a little by the one from the Queen...but I'm OK with that :)

I trawled the internet for ideas for a diamond wedding card but couldn't find anything I liked.  In the end I decided to adapt a wedding card that I had made earlier in the year.  Pretty much everything on the card are from things I've been given or saved from various things, I love it when you can find a good use for them!

Supplies:

Embossing folder - D'vine Swirls, Cuttlebug

Number Dies - Memory Box

Sentiment - "Congratulations" found via Google images and printed

Everything else from my stash

I'm hoping to make a start on my Christmas cards soon, so hopefully I'll have lots to share with you in the next few weeks.

Swirly Wedding

This is a card I made last week for a wedding we went to yesterday.  It really was a gorgeous day, perfect couple, fantastic venues and a truly enjoyable day.  As I've said before, I seem to have made lots of wedding cards recently so when I was trying to come up with an idea I trawlled Pinterest (love Pinterest!), and found a card that I wanted to CASE. 

The bridesmaid dresses at the wedding were a dusky pink colour so I dug in my stash and found some pearlescent pink card and pink rhinestones to go with the theme.  I didn't have a ribbon that would work so I used a strip of card instead.  For the sentiment I found the "Congratulations" on Google images and then added the other wording myself.

This is my card:

And this is the card I found on Pinterest, which is from this Blog:

I (think) that's our last wedding of the year, so there may be a lull in the wedding card making at least for a while!

Thanks for visiting!

I bought the Cuttlebug "d'vine swirls" embossing folder specifically for this card, but I love it so I think I'll make good use of it.
