25th Anniversary Card & BoxEnvelope - for Friends

Marriage is honorable in every respect…

Welcome to our 2013 Die Cut Tuesday New Release and Link Up over at www.MyPaperCrafting.com !  Be sure and pop over there and see what Melin and our other Designers have set up for this Showcase – and the New Release for today.

My today’s project is a ‘25^th Anniversary Card and BoxEnvelope’ that I made for some Dear Friends who are celebrating theirs this week!  The Card is a modified easel-type card that will stand alone, if they desire.  The BoxEnvelope is one I made so that the flower spray will not be crushed in the mailing of it - hopefully!  Here are photos-

*  I got inspiration for the style of this from some I’ve seen on Pinterest.  I did my own version with ‘similar’ types of files and embellishments.  I used sparkly Silver cardstock for most of it – I embossed the bottom panel.  I adhered that to black and then to the White for the base of the card.

*  This is the file for the Doily backdrop –

*  I used 2 layers of the several offered from this file –

*  I embossed 2 lines from a border folder on the top layer.  I cut the number 25 in silver with a white shadow  on my Silhouette CAMEO and adhered it to the top layer.

*  I punched 2 of the large hollow daisies from Silver and hand-embossed on the backside to curve the petals then off-set and adhered them on a PopDot to raise it.  I punched 5 small Silver daisies, hand-embossed in circular motions to create the center of the Daisy – then added a large rhinestone inside.  

*  I punched several small flowers, leaf sprigs and pine branches – all from Silver – hand-embossed and adhered them.  I added tiny Pearls to the flower centers.

*  I stamped the inside Sentiment with Silver ink and added several of the pointed oval shapes that were punched from the large Daisy pieces. 

*  After taking the photos, I just wasn’t happy with the front medallion, so I added 3 Pearls on it – but I didn’t retake all of the photos – just one –  ;-}
