Enjoy life, it has an expiration date

 


Today I would like to share the card I created for my DW for our anniversary as well as another I made for Christmas this year.

First is the envelope for her card. Yeah, I had to create the envelope since the card was so large. (she is worth it)

It is 7"x7" square not including the flap.

It had to be large to accommodate the card which is 6"x 6".

The clock is from our stash as are the gems in the chandelier. The The red spline at left is washi tape that changes color depending on the angle the light hits it. The sentiment was created on my computer.

This is the back of the card.

 

This is the right hand inside of the card. The image was one I had colored several years ago. It was die cut from a number of images .


This is the left hand side of the card with the anniversary sentiment. They are from our stash that is several years old. 

Strangely, the 63rd shows up great and the happy anniversary is hard to see. In person the opposite is true. Go figure!

The next card was created for the Christmas season this year. The cover image was stamped by my wife some time ago. The rubber stamp used was removed from the wood block so it's source is unknown. All of the peel and stick sentiments and borders are from the accumulated stash and, to the best of my knowledge, are no longer available. 

 

This is the inside of the card. The wife stamped the sentiment some time ago but never finished a card from it. Again the peel and sticks are from our stash and no longer available.

I hope you liked the cards we made. I will share some of the 60+ cards made in the future.

Acts 4:12 " There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved."
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.

Remember to "Always Love The Details."
