Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to a Dear Hubby

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Well today is our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We are away cruising on the P&O ship Iona right now. Here is the card I made for my hubby.

On the 3rd April 1982 we got married at a church in Aldershot. Forty years is a long time.

I used lots of John Next Door dies. I knew the Stencil Anniversary dies would be useful. Names are easy with the Stencil Alphabet.

Here I used the Small Champagne bottle die set. The numbers are from a Britannia die set.

We both like red wine. The numbers in the middle were cut the Advent numbers die set.

I will be back soon with a couple more posts. Then I will let you know what I have decided to do about blogging.

Happy Crafting

Ruby 40th Wedding Anniversary Z - Fold Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you had a good weekend and are ready for the week ahead. We had a busy weekend. On Friday we set up my small table at the Hampshire Open Studios event. On Saturday my husband worked on the talk he was going to give at his party. I made the house generally ship shape. Then on Sunday it was the big tea party at our local tea shop. We had a lovely time and the food and drink was appreciated as was the talk. Now it is all back to normal. Although there is a bit more cake in the house than there usually is.

When we came back from Lille I had a 40th Wedding Anniversary card that I had to make as we were going to the party. I had been waiting for a photo and I didn't receive one. So I had to adapt my design.

I decided on the Z - Fold card design. I did all the scoring on my Hougie board. All the mats and layers were cut with the guillotine. The Happy Anniversary die is a Signature die. The 40 was cut with an X- Cut die set.

The heart and flourish dies are all from the John Next Door Range. The letters were made with a Tonic die set.

Here I am beside my little table. It didn't take long to set up. I am going back to help with the teas and coffees tomorrow so I will be able to check up on it.

Our friends liked their card and we enjoyed the party. I met lots of people that I have heard of over the years.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a great week.

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.
