50th Anniversary - a case

Cards very popular at craft shows are anniversary ones, especially the 50th and 25th anniversary.  Because I sold most of my anniversary cards, including the 25th and 50th I needed to make some more.
This 50th anniversary card was posted on Demonstrator Planning Place on Facebook by Kathy Dakhil  and permission was granted to case it. The card I created is very similar to the original as I saw no need to change this wonderful card.

The base card is Whisper White cardstock, layered first with Gold Foil and then with Whisper White embossed with the Falling Petals Embossing folder.

Gold satin ribbon was wrapped around the two top layers, after which they were adhered to the card front.

The heart was embossed using the Bloomin' Heart Thinlet die in Whisper White card stock.  Two of the larger and 2 of the smaller hearts were also die cut and they were adhered to the designated spots on the die cut heart using the new smaller dimensionals.  Rhinestones were added to each flower.

The numbers were die cut in Gold Glimmer paper and the Large Numbers Thinlet dies. The smaller banner was die cut after embossing it with gold embossing powder.  The gold embossed "th" was added to this small banner.  It was added to the top of the "0"

The sentiment and banner was also gold embossed.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Number of Years, Bloomin' Love
Inks:  Versa Mark
Papers:  Whisper White, Gold Foil, Gold glimmer paper
Accessories:  5/8" gold satin ribbon (retired), Bloomin' Heart thinlet, Large Number thinlets, rhinestones, dimensionals (regular and the new smaller), Falling Pedals embossing folder.


Changing the gold to silver, I made a 25th anniversary card - using the same template.
