Celebrating Our Wedding Anniversary

Sunday my amazing husband and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary! Here is the dear anniversary card I made for him!

I used the striped image from Gorgeous Grunge across the center of the card front with Basic Gray Archival ink.

The greeting is from So in Love and stamped in Rose Red ink.

To create the background paper for the hearts, I marbleized a half sheet of Whisper White card stock with Flirty Flamingo. Rose Red, Melon Mambo, and a hint of Sweet Sugarplum ink refills.

I have been having a ball with this technique! Each time the paper comes out differently and so beautifully. 

Then I cut hearts from Rose Red cardstock and the marbleized Whisper White cardstock using the Sweet and Sassy Framelits. I sprinkled some Rose Red and Basic Gray hearts from the Confetti Heart Punch around the larger hearts. I think I may have gotten a bit carried away!

The inside combines two greetings from So in Love stamped in Rose Red ink. The striped image from the card front with three confetti hearts is stamped in the bottom right corner.

You Light Up My Life!

Here is a cute card I made for my husband using the Jar of Love stamp set. I wanted to show how special he is to me but in a less floral way. He enjoys puns, so this stamp set is perfect! Plus, I got to use one of my favorite stamp sets from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog!

The background is sponged from the bottom to the top with Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, and Night of Navy, respectively. The stars are little circles drawn with a white gel pen. The grass was created using Garden Green cardstock and the Fringe Scissors to act as a base or grounding element for the jar.

The fireflies are stamped in Archival Basic Black ink, die cut, and attached with 1/2 of a dimensional. I didn't want the light from the fireflies to disappear into the sky, so I stamped the circle image on Whisper White cardstock with Daffodil Delight ink. Then I punched the circles with 1/4" handheld circle punch. Each circle is attached with a mini glue dot underneath the firefly.

I stamped the smallest jar image in Archival Basic Black ink on vellum. The jar is attached to the grass using mini glue dots only underneath the inked outline. A linen bow finishes the jar.

The inside has more fireflies and the sentiment You Light Up My Life. This is such a sweet card to give someone special in your life. I hope you give this card a try!
