Fortieth Ruby Wedding Anniversary Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I am invigilating this week but just in the afternoons. It is nice not having to rush to get up.

Two of our good friends celebrated their Ruby Wedding Anniversary at the weekend. This is the card I made for them.


I started by making the Z fold base from a piece of A4 black card. I scored the card and then cut off the top make the opposite fold. This way everything fits together. The patterned paper was in my stash. I used the Leafy Flourish dies from the John Next Door range to add some extra detail They were a great way of using up some Snippets. 


The heart was cut with the Heart of Hearts die fro Creative Expressions. The initials were cut with some Tonic dies. I used the  left over die cuts to put initials on the envelope I made for this card. 


I found this embellishment in some lace and ribbon I was given from someone who has stopped crafting. This did make me think about how much craft stuff I have. 


The numbers were cut with some X-Cut dies that I have had for a long time. 


The Happy Anniversary die is a Signature die. 


Here you can see the Z fold more clearly. 


I know they liked the card they sent me a message. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

    Great card Jackie! Such a clever tip about the Z part (cutting the top off!) and making it fit perfectly. No wonder your friends love it - one to treasure.
