65th Wedding Anniversary Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week so far? Not too long and we will be at the weekend and we will have an extra day off to enjoy. I will be working on the wedding invitations again. Though I am planning to have at least one day to go out and have some fun I do hope the weather is kind.

I was asked to make a 65th Anniversary card at short notice last week. I have asked and it is OK for me to share the card. The stone for a 65th Anniversary is Blue Sapphire just like the 45th Anniversary. So it had to be a blue card.

I love my Spellbinder corner dies they deboss and well as emboss. 

 I used a piercing ruler on one of the mats this then matches piercing on the die.

The sentiment was cut with Britannia dies. I added a heart to balance the design.

This what  my table looks like when  I am working on the wedding invites

I   die cut 100 steering wheels and 50 anchors.

The lady I made this card for was very happy with it. I do seem to be getting more commissions. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. Not long till the weekend.

Happy crafting

Hugs Jackie

Pop-up Box 45th Wedding Anniversary Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Not long and it will be the weekend. I am looking forward to the weekend as I am off to the Farnborough Craft show and I have been promised some storage for my crafty stash. We have been measuring and we know what will fit in the space we have. I do hope it will make me more organised.

This card is for a commission and I started it before I became ill but I had to leave it alone for a while. When I was ill I found it very difficult to be creative things just didn't seem to turn out right. Today I managed to finish it at last.

The colour for a 45th Wedding Anniversary is Sapphire so I chose to make this card with pearlised royal blue card. There is a page on this blog which gives the measurements and scoring guide to make this type of card.

This shows the  position of the slats and that the back panel says Mum and Dad.

The panel at the front. 

The side panels were embossed to add texture and interest. 

This shows the numbers and the flowers. The flowers  were made with the Spellbinder die set Blossom Three a flat backed pearl was added to the centre of each. 

There you have it I hope the lady who ordered it likes it. It will fit into an 8" x 8" envelope. It still fascinates me that this type of card will fold flat for an envelope.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Happy Crafting
