Saying Goodbye with Wedding Anniversary Cards

By | April 29, 2019

I was asked to make a couple of wedding anniversary cards for a friend to celebrate some milestone wedding anniversaries.  I turned to some retiring (and maybe a couple of retired) products.  Goodbyes are never easy, but I know I will have some new favourites very soon once the new catalogue comes out.

Wedding Anniversary Card no 1

My first anniversary card uses some retired DSP from Sale-a-bration last year.  Whilst it is Rose Gold, and I don’t have Rose Gold Foil (stay tuned for a May exclusive!!) our Copper Foil was a good substitute.  The Number dies are also retired – don’t think I can ever part with mine – but the heart from Sunshine Wishes (heres’s another fab project using them)  is still available. They are on our Retiring List so you have to act fast!! I loved pairing the die-cut elements with a frame from the Rectangle Shaped Dies. As you can see, I heat embossed the sentiment in copper and die-cut it with a smaller rectangle stitched die to match.

For my next card, I used the gorgeous Detailed Floral Thinlit Dies with Fresh Fig Cardstock.  It is such a beautifully rich colour – perfect for this occasion.  I couldn’t find my Gold Foil (until after I’d cut my 10!) so I used some retired gold cardstock with the retired number dies.  My sentiment comes from the Floral Phrases stamp set and with a spot of clever scoring I have popped up the sentiment. The pearl embellishments are from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearl.  The dies, stamp set and pearls are all retiring  – so grab them while you can!
