A Bottle of Vine Anniversary Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Well the weekend is nearly here. I hope you have something nice planned. We will be doing more things for the wedding as it really isn't very far away now. I have even had my hair coloured yesterday which is a first for me. We are also going to try and fit in looking for a new fridge. If you are wondering how we are managing we have a spare fridge which we are using in the meantime.

Last week at my mother-in-law's 90th birthday meal we realised that my husband's brother and his wife were about to celebrate their 35th Wedding Anniversary. They got married the same year as us. Their wedding was quite unconventional but lots of fun with the reception being on a boat down the Thames with a Jazz band. As I had treated myself to some new stamps and matching dies and  I wanted to try my new Tim Holtz stamping platform I decided to make them a card.

They do like a drink and fine wine is often on offer when you visit them so that was the inspiration behind this card. 

I knew I wanted to use my new stamps with Heartfelt Creations Italiana Grapevines stamps and matching dies. They were stamped in black archival and coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. The dies were nice and easy to line up. 

My new stamps, which also had a matching die set, are the Honey Doo Crafts A Bottle of Vine set. They were also stamped with black archival and coloured with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens and then cut out with the dies I had treated myself to. 😊

There is no sentiment I popped that inside. 

Happy Crafting

My Husband's Birthday Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a great weekend and that you got done all the things that you wanted to do. We had a great time at Bristol Zoo it is a stunning location for a wedding. We have just a year to get it all planned and sorted. There is so much to do. I have made a list and my first job is to make  the Save the Date cards.

You know me I do like to get ahead with my card making. Someone at work gave me some cards to upcycle and when I saw the image of the wine bottle I knew just what I wanted to do and who for.

I bought the Happy Birthday paper at a Craft Fair a while a go this was a good opportunity to use it. 

I also had treated myself to the Heartfelt Creations Italiana Grapvines stamps and matching dies a while ago. They work brilliantly together. I stamped onto watercolour card with black archival ink and everything was coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens, I do love those pens.

This is my Sue Wilson Happy Birthday die it works so well for mens cards. 

It is fine to share this card my husband is not interested in social media. He does like a nice bottle of red wine though. 

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
