25th Anniversary

 Hi everyone, another card I had done but not posted, seems there are quite a few, so look out.

This card was for my Goddaughter and her husband. I had forgotten with one thing and another and had to do it quickly. Anyhow, as it had to be done quickly I knew I had something I could do in my files so, I went and cut it out with my Silhouette adding the 25 onto the heart shape. I had done one similar, though I can't find it now! I stamped the sentiment and the hearts, then added the cut silver card onto the heart shape white card, I decided to add a silver button gem. I had to deliver it by hand to get it to them in time. Photo quality is not good as it was dark and raining!

We have the floor in the cupboard still drying out and waiting for the bedroom carpet fitter, the bed base is being replaced! Waiting for that to be delivered. So still in a mess, although not as it was, thankfully. I'm not particularly house proud, but hate mess. I hope we'll be sorted with it all completed in a couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed. 

I saw a quote recently, which I though appropriate for me at the moment.

focus on what matters.

25th Anniversary and Champagne

 Hi Everyone, an apology due from me for being awol visiting you all. I have been very busy and had a visitor, making time non existent for me. I won't be able to catch up, but I will have a looky to see what I've missed. So sorry.

Anyhow on to what I have been doing in my "spare" time. We had a visit from my niece she saw the bottle tag I made (I'll show you in my next post)  and asked if I could make 10 for a party she was throwing for her friend and husband. Then it was "I wonder if you could do table place names", then "OH! could you do a few tags for parting gifts!"  "Do you have time to make me a card?" Of course I said yes and happy to do it for her. 

The card to start with, I had a paper pad with silver and white paper, after being die cut, it was placed onto white and silver card which had also been die cut. I die cut a 2 corner pieces and die cut them again with a doily design shape. More die cutting with hearts and champagne glass shapes. I had placed the photo into Silhouette and cut around it with another heart that was used as a base.

Then it was out with the Silhouette and off to go, it has been used so often this last week.

 I added the 25 into the top design, then covered it with a 25 and hearts in silver card, I also added silver pen to the initial of each card.

 

bottle tag

I took a champagne bottle image and placed it in Silhouette to print and cut. Before cutting, I added a photo of the couple and their names and anniversary. It was then cut and attached to the bottle tag.

 It sits better on a champagne bottle it's made for, but I didn't have any champagne handy to demonstrate! 😉

25th Anniversary card & box

Hi Everyone, this is a scheduled post as I wanted it done before we went away to the anniversary celebrations. Here is the card to go with the present I posted on the 6th September. 

This card came about as I saw the sentiment on Create with TLC and as they both love dancing and have learned ballroom, I thought it apt.
