Golden Wedding Anniversary

A Golden Wedding Anniversary card today.


I made the card base with a Presscut step card die, using white linen card.  The panels were die cut using gold glitter card.  The heart is 'Heart if Hearts' by Impression Obsession, die cut using the white linen card.  For the hearts down the side panel, I used some of the outline heart waste.  I didn't have quite enough so a used a snippet of the white card to cut a few more using the die. I added a tiny pearl to each heart.

Second Fiskarettes DT project

My second Fiskarettes DT project has now been uploaded onto Fiskarettes UK Facebook page so I can now put it on my blog.  I made some Post-It Note holders using acrylic frames and snippets of plain card.  I've made a few before, but this time I decided to use a Fiskars border punch and layer the punch strips.
The Post-it Notes stick directly onto the acrylic frame, no extra glue needed, so are easily replaced.

 I cut a piece of card 6" x 4" and layered the strips on top, before putting into the acrylic frame.

 This photo shows a side view.

 I made the flowers to match the Post-It Notes.  I didn't have the right shade of pink so....

..... I coloured a snippet of white card with a Promarker, then punched out the flowers.  I'm not sure why I've never thought to do this before!

I also made one in purple and white and embellished it with silver Card Candi.

Please pop over to the Fiskarettes UK Facebook page to see what the other DT members have created this week.

Key to my Heart

A second White on White card this week.

The 6 x 6 embossing folder was a freebie with a craft magazine.  The sentiment was stamped with a Versafine 'Onyx' ink pad, die cut and attached with foam pads.  For the key, I used a die from the Spellbinders 'Lace Hearts' set and again used foam pads to add dimension.  A couple of snippets were used for die cutting, so I'll be off for my third visit to the Playground this week.

White on White

The Less is More Challenge this week is White on White.  It's their 5th Birthday this week, so why don't you pop over and join in the fun.
The embossing folder I used for the background is Couture Creations 'Fireflies'.  I die cut a tag using a Poppystamp 'Stitched Main Street tag' die and add a Memory box 'Fuchsia Sprig' die cut. A white eyelet was set in the top of the tag and a snippet of white ribbon threaded through. Three white pearls and a computer generated sentiment finished off my card. As all the white card, apart from the card base were snippets, I'll be sharing me card over in The Playground.
