Anniversary Card

Scroll down if you want to check out the weekly deals for this week!

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary, and co-incidentally it was my husband's too!!  Happy anniversary my honey!

Affection Collection is a retired set but one I have hung onto because I love the intricate details of the stamps.  I went looking for ideas on the internet and CASEd this design from Joanne Travis.  Her beautiful card used Raspberry Ripple throughout but I went for Chocolate Chip.  I loved her use of layers and sponging.

I made a matching inside as well but forgot to photograph it before writing in it.

I love the feel and weight of these layered cards. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Vellum

One of my customers showed me a card similar to this that she had bought at a market stall.

Edited to add:  I have since found out that the original creator of this card is Linda Higgins.  She showed us the card at Convention!

I loved the vellum flower and thought the design perfect for my velum class this week.  The card I CASEd was in bright colours but I chose to use Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

• The card is cut using the biggest die in the Ovals Collections Framelits.  I folded the cardstock in half and cut through the two layers on the fold.
• I used the next sized oval for the white layer.
• The flower is created with white embossing powder which comes up so beautifully on the vellum.
• Crumb Cake seam binding adds the finishing touches.
