Happy Wife, Happy Life! Handmade Anniversary Card

Hello on this lovely sunny bank holiday! Well, it is here in the South of the UK but I hear it's not like that everywhere in the UK? Stay dry, friends :-(
So, onto the card... I have another Bird Banter card to share today ;-)
I made this for the hubster for our wedding anniversary and I thought I'd throw a little humour, as well as some truth, into this card, ha ha ha...

 I coloured the bird in with blends (coming back soon) and added him atop a cluster of branches.

 The background was created using the same blends pens (colour coordination at it's finest) and I topped each one with a drop of glue from the fine tip glue pen to make this enamel dot effect! I love it!
I first saw this idea by another demo, Lavinia Gruizinga (The Stampin' Magpie on fb) but she doesn't seem to have a blog I can link to :-( Thanks Lavinia!
Anyway it's a brilliant idea, don't you think?

And of course I doctored the sentiment from Tabs for Everything using a Stampin' Write Marker ;-)

Well, that's all from me today, here at Cardsandacuppa HQ. I have quite a few bits to do in my craft room but I think that will be later this evening as we are going to make the most of the nice weather in the garden this afternoon :-D
Have a lovely day everyone!

20th Wedding Anniversary Card using Number Of Years by SU!

Hello there,

Today is our 20th wedding anniversary so I have quickly edited the pics of the card I made (late last night!) for my darling hubby. 

This is what I came up with... 

 As you probably noticed on here, I do love a good shaker card ;-)
I inlaid the numbers (from the Number of Years bundle*) into a watercolored background so the sequins could move about freely.
Note: *These stamps and dies are 15% cheaper when purchased as a bundle 'till the end of May only!

 I have used the new shaker card foam strips {which are coming in the new catalogue on the 1st June} to make this card and I'll be doing a tips video for these soon!

 Sentiment is from Number of Years stamps that match numbers dies.

Sequin *love*

 And a top view of the card

So, how about a quick pic of us on the day, 20 years ago, to finish todays post?? We got married in the Dominican Republic, it was amazing... and very hot! and just amazing :-))))

Okie dokie, we are off out for dinner soon so I'll catch you later!

Thanks for looking today,

Using Stampin' Up's Your Perfect Day for an Anniversary Card

Hello...

...And apologies for my absence, I have had a (rare) few days away from my blog and you lovely followers trying to catch up with the many projects I have currently got on the go ;-). But I am here today with a new card using Your Perfect Day (again!). I am really loving this set, as you may have guessed by all the cards I have shared with you over the last few weeks ;-)

So, this little card I thought would make a perfect Anniversary card for a couple, what do you think...

 This yummy gold satin ribbon ties beautiful bows!

 again I have heat embossed the cake, this time in gold, and coloured in using blender pens and my (retired) crisp cantaloupe ink pad.

 I popped the main panel on dimensionals on a Sahara Sand card base- love this colour combo

 adding some flowers (Video Here for how to cup these flowers easily) and pearls to decorate

 and a top view to finish today!

Well, I have a few more cards to photograph today and then a whole ton of editing which needs doing before I get to do the fun stuff (play with new stash) so I better crack on so I have something to share with you tomorrow! 

If you want extra early sneak peeks of future blog posts please hop over to my Instagram or Facebook page and follow me there because when I'm not blogging I'm usually making!

Thanks for stopping by today
