Hi everyone!
Rachel here to share with you a card I have
made for my wedding anniversary which falls on the 17
th of this
month. Perhaps this little project could give you some inspirations in preparing
a few Valentine cards? *Wink*
It is a tradition of me making cards for the husband,
basically one for our wedding anniversary, and one for his birthday. This
annual practice of mine started out way back to the day when we started dating (for
6 years), tied the knot in 2003 and now to celebrate our 12 years of marriage.
Come to think of it, I have known this guy for a good 2 decades. I’m blessed.
This is a 5”x6” single-fold card. The main focus of this
card is the balloon-shaped cut-out which I trimmed from a 3”x4” pattern card
from
Photo Shoot Large Tags, and hand stitched around the edge with a pink
sewing thread to give that extra texture.
With the intention of not turning this card into one that is
too pinkish for a guy, I picked a mint color pattern paper, added some
dimensional texture with texture paste and a heart shape stencil, sprinkled
some white and pink mist, popped up most of the heart shape cut-outs with 3D
foam dots, lastly pasted down the balloon cut-out and the So Happy Together
circle tag from
Photo Shoot Round Tags.
To give that finishing touch, pretty puffy stickers, page
tab and sequins are the PREFECT elements to have.
I hope he will love this card, and happy 12 to us!
Thank you for stopping by. J
Love,
Rach
