Simon Says: Wedding/ Anniversary

This week on the Simon Says Monday blog 

it is all about Wedding/ Anniversary.

As I have no weddings coming up, I thought about

making this years anniversary card for my husband.

it is only on November 22, but as my husband is not in IG

and not looking at my blog, I can have my card ready early.

In all these years, I never made him a coffee card,

but I think this is a cute idea I noticed somewhere

and stayed in my brain to use one day.

I used a heart border punch,

coffee mugs are dies by My Favorite Things,

20 numbers are dies by Stampin'Up!,

and the sentiment and stamps inside the card

are by AlteNew clear stamps. The set is called

Coffee talk.

The little hearts on the mugs came out of the border punch.

The ribbon is from my stash.

Here the inside, leaving room to write at a later date.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Tim Holtz tag:November Anniversary

Today is my 15th Wedding Anniversary to 

the love of my life:  Raymond and inspired

by the November tag by Tim Holtz 

I made this tag my Anniversary tag:

Thank you, my dear, for 

15 wonderful years

xxx

I want to share with you how I made this tag:

Things I used:

tag

corrugated card board

distress paint and spray

versamark, clear embossing powder

Michael Strong heart stamp

I started with stamping the heart stamp on the tag

with versamark and adding clear embossing powder.

Then heating it with the heatgun.

On apiece of scrap paper (larger then the tag) I stamped

the heart stamp in red. This way I could see the lines well

and cut out the heart.

The open heart was laid over the stamped tag for

the placement of the heart and I cut the scrap paper

exactly the size of the tag.Now i put it on the corrugated

bord and after tracing the heart with a pencil, 

I cut out the heart in the board.

Now to color the tag with the direct to paper technique.

Adding color on my craft sheet and spraying it with water,

the palette is ready for coloring.

Put the tag face down on the craft sheet to add the color.

You need to do this a few times for a complete

covering of the tag.

Tag ready for the next step.

Corrugated card bord is next to

get ready by starting to tear some of the 

paper of the tag.

Coloring the board with festive berries on top

and around the tag.

Finishing it of with red and gold distress spray.

When tag and board are completely dre I glued

them together and decorated the tag

with the ticket, the numbered paper clips,

an arrow and some red tinsel twine.

On top a red ribbon and a clock for I hope

we will have lots more time together!

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!
