I am not entirely sure what the collective noun is for a lot of anniversary cards, so I am just going to call them a ‘Bunch’
I have a bunch of family/friend wedding anniversaries in the second half of each year so I tend to make 6 – 7 of them so then they are ready for signing and posting.
Sometimes sad things happen in our lives or the lives of our family and friends. Just such an occasion happened this last week, I felt a hand-made card would just let them know I was thinking of them in their sadness but hoped they would overcome that sadness and enjoy them wonderful memories left behind.
‘Crazy about You’ is the perfect title for a stamp set used for an anniversary card. I made this card in May for the wedding anniversary for the couple whose husband was our best man at our wedding.
I chose to make the card in Cherry Cobbler and Gold as those were their wedding colors back in 2006.
I seemed to have been focusing on certain colors at the moment, my hand seems to be drawn to Sahara Sand as well as Rose Red.
This card was inspired by a video by Dawn Griffin and Shelli Gardner and uses a heat embossed resist technique. My ladies got to make this one at a recent Stamp Camp.
Today I have a card that uses a background stamp as a focal point. Something Lacy is in the Occasions mini catalog (and about to retire on June 2nd) which I heat embossed with Blushing Bride Embossing Powder.
Another card for the 5th day of my Valentine week projects. This one I have chosen some contemporary colors, Rose Red and Blackberry Bliss, two very rich colors, giving something different for this holiday.
I hope you are enjoying these valentine projects – please leave me a comment!
So this is the second of my Valentine’s cards, it is one I made as a swap for Stampin’ Up!’s convention last summer. I chose really contemporary colors for this one and it used heat embossing technique for the background. Once again, I think it would make a perfect anniversary, engagement or wedding card!
I hope you are enjoying these valentine projects – please leave me a comment!
Here we are … February 8th already!!! I just looked at the calendar and realized that Valentine’s Day is this coming Saturday, perfect occasion to make and send a card to that special someone (or someones) in your life
I have made a few cards over the last few weeks that would be perfect for valentine, or maybe an anniversary, engagement or wedding card. I will be sharing them with you over the coming days 🙂
During my Christmas Card Stamp Camps I offered a total of 9 different cards for my ladies to make. So when it come time to send out a Christmas card to them to recognize their support and friendship it mean’t making a 10th design.
Now that Christmas is behind us for another year I thought I would share this 10th card……………………
This was one of the cards from my October card class earlier this week. I used a tri-color technique for the image and then sprinked it with clear embossing powder before applying the heat tool. It gave the image a very subtle shine.
