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.

Wedding Anniversary

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but we were away on holiday for a couple of weeks, it was so good to get away after having a hectic couple of months.  Anyway the card I have to share with you is an anniversary card.  It was our 3rd wedding anniversary earlier in the month, and this is the card I made to give to my hubby.  I always find anniversary cards for men hard to make - trying to find a balance between getting across the sentiment of love without being really girly.  Here's my card:

I saw the below card on Pinterest and decided to use the elements of it in my card.  I wanted to use a heart as the cut out shape, and due to a lack of a die I printed out a heart shape and cut it out using my craft knife, after assembling them together I stuck it on using foam pads to add some dimension.  The circle shape I free cut from card and coloured paper.  I stuck the strips of coloured paper to a piece of paper and then onto the card base.  The sentiment I printed directly onto the card.  To finish it off I couldn't resist a few rhinestones!
