Diamond Anniversary

Hi there,

I was asked to make a card for a 60th Wedding Anniversary. As 60th Anniversary is the Diamond Anniversary, I decided to use a diamond theme.

I took inspiration from this card on the Heartfelt Creations blog.

Cardstock:  White
Ink:  Memento: Teal Zeal, Espresso Truffle
Stamp: Heartfelt Creations: Wildwood Florals, Celebrate Love
Dies: Heartfelt Creations: Diamonds and Lace, Eyelet Diamond, Diamond Basics, Wildwood Florals
Crafter’s Companion: Die’sire Classiques Only Words Numbers & Punctuation
Paper: Heartfelt Creations “Patchwork Daisy Collection” 
Other:-Double-sided tape, Glue, Foam dots, Spectrum Noir Pens, Silver Glitter Card, Shaping tools

I cut a piece of white cardstock using the main die from the Diamonds and Lace die. I cut two pieces of paper from the Patchwork Daisy Collection, each 4 1/4 x 5 3/4″. I glued the die cut to one of the pieces of paper, then clued this to a trimmed down card base.

Using die 3 from the Eyelet Diamond set, I cut a piece of white cardstock and glued this over the centre of the centre of the card. Then, with dies 1, 2 and 2 from the Diamond Basics set, I cut the diamond centrepiece and adhered this to the centre of the card with foam dots. Using die 3 from this set, I cut a piece of patterned paper. I cut a piece of white cardstock using the petite diamond from the Diamonds and Lace set, glued this onto the diamond cut patterned paper, and glued this to the front of the card, inside the raised diamond.

I stamped flowers and a branch from the Wildwood Florals set with Espresso Truffle ink and cut out with the corresponding die, coloured with Spectrum Noir pens, shaped, and glued to the front of the card.

I cut out the numbers from silver glitter card using the Die’sire Classiques Only Words Numbers & Punctuation set, coloured the glitter with a Spectrum Noir pen, and glued to the front of the card.

I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock, stamped the sentiment from Celebrate Love in Teal Zeal, adhered it to the second piece of patterned paper I had cut out, and adhered this to the inside of the card with double sided tape.

Happy Anniversary.

Bye for now,

Penny
