50th Anniversary

Good Monday Morning!
 
I am on the Dies R Us Blog today!
 
 
I have many anniversaries these coming months for friends, family and clients.  This one is for a very special couple celebrating their 50th anniversary!!!  I thought a little white and kraft card stock accented with gold foiling would make for a striking combo.  On the inside I added 2 Heart String dies by Penny Black.  Using several Spellbinders dies; A-2 Fancy Ribbon Threader, Lacy Squares and Heart Circles I created my base.  The 50 is Heat Embossed in Gold.

 
 
The Wheat Heads by Cheery Lynn as well as the double punched hearts were cut from Toner Paper and then foiled in gold with my Mini Minc Machine.  The detail on the Wheat Heads is amazing!  The hearts are pristine, that 'mark' is just a reflection from the camera, it's hard to capture the shimmery gold in a photo.
 
A little gold ribbon and a few adhesive pearls for accent.  Each layer has a fun foam backing which gives the card more dimension.  It also makes it nice and sturdy for mailing purposes.
 
Stamp sets by Gina K Designs, Simple Numbers and Tropical Flowers.  Ink in Antique Linen.
 

 
We just celebrated our 28th anniversary.....50 would be something to see!
 
This card will also be entered into the Challenges at: Stamping Sensations, Anything Goes, Penny Black, Anything Goes, With A Stamp, and Cheery Lynn, Back To Nature.
 
 
 
Don't forget to join in all of the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st & 15th of each month, with a gift voucher prize to one lucky winner.

  4. Give Donna a day off from work and she makes lots of cards. There is lots of work put into this one for sure. All of the dies and gold heat embossing really made a great card for special people on our list. Love those wheat too. Birgit is right, once this goes viral, those wheat will be out of stock. lol

  9. Well isn't this just over-the-moon gorgeous....whoever gets it will be over-the-moon honored to receive it.... ;-) Everyone is raving over the wheat die, and I need to join in. It's stunning on this card. Interesting that I had wheat in my brides maids bouquets....I thought it was appropriate since it was at Thanksgiving. LOVE this!!!

  10. How wonderful, Donna! I really love the golden details combined with the kraft CS, and the fabulous layers - Kraft does not usually lend itself to elegance, but you certainly have achieved that! Your choice of die cuts is so interesting, with the hearts looking elegant and classy, instead of cute or sweet. And the two metallic hearts with the swish of "greenery" is VERY classy! It's a fantastic design. Wouldn't it make a great birthday card, too? Congrats to the happy couple!
