I found myself in need of a 50th anniversary card, and I just hadn't planned on that yet. I even had a fleeting thought that I'd just have to purchase one. Can you believe that even crossed my mind? I did what any addicted stamper would do. I made an emergency run to Hobby Lobby and finally came up with this card.
I had a few supplies on had:
Cuttlebug (to emboss white strip and cut oval with ribbon threaded through)
Stampabilities gold pigment ink
Gold embossing powder
Heat gun
Ribbon tape & double sided tape
Hobby Lobby purchase: gold and white paper, set of Boutique specialty ribbon (creme), and Clear Stamp set of lowercase alphabet and numbers.
I had a pile of stuff and a need to create. This is the result.
I was SO thankful that Crafting Ida spent time with us practicing embossing. It was helpful.
As a little finishing touch, I also embossed in gold the couple's names on the top section inside the card. They will certainly know that it was made especially for them.
