Hello,
I have some dear friends celebrating 40 years together - their ruby anniversary - at the end of the month. This card is for the big event.... Yes, they have decided it is finally the right time to get married, thus the rings added to the design!
I am entering this card in the NBUS Friendship challenge to help Darnell Knauss celebrate reaching 500 followers. The NBUS (never before used stuff) is the pansy stamp from Stampin' Up. It only came out last year, but I finally broke down and bought the set. Although I have a lot of flower stamps, I didn't have any open ones, and I am excited to see all the different ways to use it. Please, click on the button to go to her website.
Congratulations, Darnell. (Sorry its not really old NBUS!)
In my last post I mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday. Now that she has seen the card, I can post pictures of Jules' birthday card. I have been wanting to make a rainbow card in DSP for a while after seeing similar designs on pinterest. I combined Sage greens and Bliss Blues. Since I didn't have to mail it, I added a flower made with the Stampin Up pansy punch (pinterest again) and spritzed with Tattered Angels. I had a new butterfly die from Memory box to add more dimension to the front. The inside is a step card - and you guessed it - directions found on pinterest. (Now you know the reason I don't post much!)
My step card says "Big Wish"; the letters were handcut - so many dies, but none the right font! I used a Rubber Stamps of America fairy stamp I bought ages ago. I had to use the computer to make it smaller to fit and also to flip one. That's the SU pansy stamp in the background. Note to self - don't use such heavy cardstock next time - the card is way too thick and heavy. Stands up good though!
