So I've been absent a bit of creativity lately and I apologize...thanks for stickin' with me! I first went to visit my parents, then got back and immediately started prepping for some classes. And since I'm going to the Stampin' UP! Convention in about 2 weeks, I've been busy making samples for an organized swap I joined. AND I had a birthday and an anniversary to celebrate. So although my mojo has been working overtime, I haven't had anything on my blog to show for it.
Today's the day! I found time to photograph before mailing my daughter and son-in-law's anniversary card, and here it is:
I saw a similar layout on Stampin' Connection and knew I could translate it into a pretty anniversary card.
I started with the small top panel -
Whisper White, and used my "vintage" Expressions Thinlets to cut out the word "love". I then cut the word two more times, using
Coaster Board (I passed right over this in the catalog, and fortunately backed up and decided to try it!). I layered all three words (Whisper White on top) using my
2-Way Glue Pen. Then I nestled the word back into the cut out space of the top layer of the card (which was adhered to a slightly larger piece of
Basic Black).
Just look at the dimension:
(And if you try this at home, be sure to save the "innards" of the letters, so you can place them back into the cut-out space).
The rest of the card is easy:
A piece of
Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper, again layered on Basic Black, one more layer of Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4") all on a Basic Black base (4-1/4" x 11").
The final bling is some black and
Silver Glimmer paper hearts, cut with the heart punch from the
Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack as well as a few from the
Owl Punch, and called it done!
The inside sentiment is from the new
Timeless Love set and the font is terrific!
And of course, a matching envelope, snipping a piece of the Everyday Chic DSP to add to the back flap:
Happy Anniversary Aly and Brandon!
