My husband’s aunt and uncle celebrated their 60th anniversary this week. My task was to make an anniversary card marking this milestone and celebrating their love. I found a card on Split Coast Stampers that gave me the needed inspiration: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2662336?&si=diamond+anniversary
Following is my card. For the front, I used the bird builder punch, retired from Stampin Up, Stitched Season Framelits retired Stampin Up, silver foil and glitter paper from Hobby Lobby, a Spellbinder’s circle die, and a set from Maymay Made It called From All of Us. The Darice Floral Vines embossing folder was used for texture. The birds eyes are clear rhinestone embellishments that I used a black alcohol marker to give them color.
Following is the inside. I used How Many? from Maymay Made It, and Best Wishes from Hero Arts. The paper used for the card is Heavy Base and Layering Weight Ivory cardstock from Gina K Designs.
You can’t tell it in the photo, but I added glitter to the number and exclamation point using a Glitter Gel Pen. Now we need to sign and mail the card.
Your aunt and uncle are going to love this! Beautiful card! What a wonderful milestone – 60 years! Wow!!
They were 20 when they got married and are still quite active. Amazing! Thanks for the nice words.
So creative for you to pull out what you wanted. The Hobby Lobby glitter paper is the icing on the cake for me.
The glitter paper is quite nice. This particular sheet is from a company that isn’t Hobby Lobby brand and the glitter doesn’t all flake off. It makes the birds home quite nice. Thanks for the comment!
Wow – this is stunning and they will love it. Looks like you used a lot of different stamps to get the sentiment inside. It is so pretty and so elegant. Yeah – finally the notifications are working for me, so no excuses for not commenting anymore. Thanks to you Bonnie.
Thanks Johanna. There was quite a stack of sets piling up to get those words. Thanks!
Oh, Lisa, this is beautiful! They will love it.
Thank you, Golda. I mailed it yesterday. Now, I am creating the same basic card for friends who are celebrating their 30th anniversary soon. I was a in their wedding, so it is easy for me to remember.
This is a lovely anniversary card, Lisa. Love when you find a design that works and you can use it again.
