What to write in 25th anniversary card
Card Share - 25th Wedding Anniversary Card and Envelobox :0)
everybody back again and just coming on
now to show you the 25th wedding
anniversary card that I've made for my
sister and brother-in-law and it's their
anniversary tomorrow which is the 14th
of October and they got married in 1989
so 25 years tomorrow and my niece and
nephew have organized a surprise party
which is on Saturday and so there's lots
of surprises and stuff in store so I
won't be able to upload this until after
the event
just in case they should happen to pop
along and watch these videos and but
like I say I wanted just to show you the
card and you probably just watch the
video of the album in the box and which
I was well chuffed with so I've done the
cards with the same paper so that it all
matches basically so that everything
that they receive from me and Dave all
looks the same so and I've done the box
with my crafters companion and Bella box
board and which is the one that I always
use although I am sorely tempted to buy
the new memory keepers and blow punch
board because it just looked so much
easier than the way that I do this and
there we go so I've cut and the box it's
an inch in depth and then I've just
covered it with the patterned paper and
punched two holes and set some eyelets
just to use will pop some ribbon through
to keep the envelope close basically so
it opens like that and then the card is
here and I didn't really know what to do
obviously it had to be silver and the
colors that she had at the wedding were
peach and I was a tooth bridesmaid back
in the day I was only 12 bless me and so
yeah that's why I've chosen the peach
color flowers to put on there just so
you know maybe hopefully she'll remember
I'm sure she will she'll notice the
little details and but I've done the
card as I normally do with lots of
different pages on the inside only I've
done it slightly different and added a
smaller page too and so it's actually
got five pages in this one
and so what I've done is I've cut two
cards which are five inches square and
then I've cut it was the offcut actually
that came from the a4 sheet which I
think was three inches and then I've
just basically glued them all together
I've glued one side of the skinny one to
one to the back piece of the first card
and then I glued that other skinny one
because there was two of these glued
them together like a sandwich and then
I've glued the other flap that was on
here
to the back of this card if that makes
sense I will show you one day how I do
it and when I've got more time and but
yeah so basically I've just put their
names on the front congratulations
Caroline the mark on your silver wedding
anniversary and I've used although you
can't see it now it was a new and tim
holtz on the edge die that i bought the
other day it's the doily die and which
i've cut out one for the front and one
for the back and just put them on and
and then I decided to put like a hinge
cover on the edge of the card to hide
the join and where all the cards where
you can see in there look where they're
all joined together and there was
obviously the big gap down there you can
see that there's a gap down there where
I obviously the skinny one sits in the
middle so by putting that hinge cover on
there it's hidden all the ugly going on
on it on the inside so that's that's
neat in that bit I mean then on the
front like I say I've got their details
and which I printed out on the computer
and I've cut that and then led up on a
silver scalloped circle these little die
Monti hearts are some I got from the
range a couple of weeks ago and it was
this vintage and white modern American
Vintage white they were dough Monte but
there we go I think they were a pound or
89 P they weren't expensive but I bought
two packets knowing that I was going to
use them for this occasion so that was
the range
and and then I've used some of the
swirls that I've cut out with that free
dye that we all got from the magazine
and some leaves that I've punched with
my Martha Stewart punch my one and only
I love it
I'm gonna have to get another one
because they are good punches and the
little flowers are some I picked up in a
charity shop back in the summer that I
washed and and set to dry so they're all
nice and clean now they're not all
smelly from the charity shop and some
little dime auntie like Daisy
Jane things that I've stuck in the
middle of the flowers and then I've just
stuck some of the same dye Monty's over
certain parts of the swirl just to hold
it in place and then I've got a silver
metal butterfly which was gifted to me
by one of you lovely ladies
so that's sitting on the front tooth so
then on the inside and I found a verse I
think it was on the internet and I've
used a couple of times of various people
for their anniversaries but it was the
longest verse that I could find I needed
a long one because I like to print
sections of it to go on each page and I
needed but one two three four three four
five five sections and so you have split
it into sections and then just basically
punch them out with my circle cutter and
done the same with the silver mirror
card on a scalloped circle and and then
just fancied it up with some flowers and
the die Monti heart which I followed the
theme all the way through and so the
verse says with stars in your eyes and
the moon up above remember the magic of
falling in love at glorious day when you
both said I do and the showers of wishes
from others for you now the years come
and go and you've watched your love grow
bringing more joy than you could ever
know
so give thanks to the moon and the stars
up above and to God in His heaven for
blessing your love may you have many
more years in which to savour a love
that is filled with such richness and
flavor and I thought that was a really
nice verse and clear I mean I like like
I said I like to find a nice verse that
I can use in sections like this so I can
put it on my pages and that's it
basically they're all decorated in the
same way
and the back page obviously is where I'm
going to write my message in a minute
and I've used that same Tim Holtz Noel
die
just to punch out the 25 and then just
decorated the same as I've done on all
the other pages so that my lovelies
what's that there's my name on the back
just in case they you know should have
forgotten made it for them it was me and
say yeah that's that so like I say I
need to write it out now and get it all
ready for them for tomorrow so thanks
