Anniversary Card

We have a very special anniversary in the family today, so I made a card to send for the occasion.  It is amazing to think of how quickly the time has gone by since this couple was married!  
 This is a typical A2 sized card (5.5 x 4.25 inches).  I loved this word art from the Tie the Knot Cartridge.  I used the blackout (shift) and regular, and cut it at two inches.  The champagne glasses and their blackout are cut at 4 inches.  I cut off the stem of the blackout so I wouldn't have to worry about it showing.  The paper is from Recollections and the ribbon is a 5/8 inch satin from my stash.  The corners are rounded with a Corner Chomper.  In hindsight, I wish I had embossed the word, but I didn't think about it until after it was glued on.  Next time...
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up Lots of Thoughts, stamped in SU Basic Black, and heat embossed with Stampendous Detail Clear.  Paper is from Recollections.  I hope they will enjoy the card and their special day!

The Royal Wedding Day

I woke up at 4 am to watch the festivities today.  I thought William and Kate looked so beautiful, and I decided to make a wedding themed item for today.  These treat boxes are from the Tie the Knot cartridge p. 72-3 and were cut with the Cricut (fit to page) for a 12 by 12.  They stand about 4.5 inches tall (bride) and 4 inches tall (groom).  The paper and pearls came from Recollections. My inspiration came from Made by Momo on YouTube.  She has made so many great videos!
