A 100th Birthday Celebration- Hand Stamped Sentiments #268

It's truly amazing how often I get requests for 100 year birthday cards at my various shows.  Since I do not have any more left I thought I would use the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments here

The card base is Powder Pink, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Trellis Embossing Folder.

The focal image is a die cut circle with the number 100 die cut in Silver Glimmer paper using the Large Number Framelits.  Behind the numbers I stamped some stem and floral images in Pear Pizzazz and Sweet Sugarplum. This circle is matted with Blushing Bride glimmer paper, and added to some Petal Gardens DSP.

Behind the DSP is a strip of Blushing Bride glimmer paper; a similar strip is layered in front of the circle just below the number.

The sentiment is stamped on a die cut banner and adhered to the lower glimmer strip.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Number of Years

Inks:  Black Memento, Pear Pizzazz, Sweet Sugarplum

Papers;  Pink Powder, Whisper White, Petal Gardens DSP, Silver Glimmer paper, Blushing Bride DSP

Accessories:  Layering Circle Framelits, Large Number Framelits, Trellis embossing folder, dimensionals

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.

60th Anniversary

One of my neighbour's is celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary today.  60 years!! Can You imagine?  What a feat!  They asked me to join them in their  celebration ,but unfortunately I was unable to go.
I did make them a card though, and since the 60th anniversary is represented by a diamond, I made the card as glittery as possible.

This is a 5 by 10" square card, with a base of Whisper White, layered with Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper, and then another layer of Whisper White.  On that I adhered a layer of  Irrestibly Yours paper sponged with Encore Silver ink.

 The heart image  was first die cut with Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper, but when I placed the image on the background cardstock, it was lost againt all the "whiteness" , so I die cut another heart in Basic Black card stock, and adhered the two of them together off setting them slightly.  I quite like the effect as it looks like there are shadows around the heart.

Some flowers were die cut in dazzling diamond glimmer paper and adhered to the die cut heart using dimensiionals. White pearls were attached to the center of each flower

I used the small numbers thinlet dies to make the year of the anniversary due cutting the same as I did the heart - first in dazzling diamond glimmer, then in basic black, adhering them together offsetting them slightly.  I then stamped and die cut the banner with the "anniversary" stamped on it using the "Number of Years" stamp set.

5/8" White Satin ribbon was attached on the left front of the card.  A bow of the same ribbon was adhered near the lower part of the card.
