A week or so ago good friends of ours celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary and the card I made for them is posted on my blog HERE. Yesterday we celebrated with them and a group of friends at an anniversary lunch and cream tea. To enable the happy couple to choose something for their garden as a gift from us all, I made a gift card to give them the money we collected so they could choose their own gift.
I used the same gold, pearlised card as I used in the other card I gave them. The decorative square dies I used were from the Xcut 'Heart Frames' set of dies and the little heart is one of the Sue Wilson 'Mr & Mrs' dies.
This is the inside of the card, using the other dies from the Xcut 'Heart Frames' set. I made a pocket from a piece of white card and added a strip of the gold, pearlised card across the top. (I changed all the money into £10 notes so they all fitted in neatly. 😉) The right hand side was left blank for all our friends to write their own personal messages. All the gold die cuts were snippets left over from the previous card I made, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Well done for using snippets to make this beautiful gift card and very thoughtful to let them select their own gift. Great card to take to the playground.

Love the inside of this. How clever. [Bunny]`
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card both inside and out. Even the money matches and what a lovely combined gift for them. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't put in £20 notes as they were too big for the card. LOL! They've bought a beautiful triple bird feeder and a gorgeous large wind feature with the money. xx
DeleteBeautiful card Liz.
