I needed to make a card for hubby's sister & brother in law's anniversary so this challenge was perfect for me. I used some cute polymer stamps that I've for a couple of months but not used yet. My card is 5" x 7" in size.
Here is my card:
a closer look at the cute bees:
I decorated the inside too:
I began by stamping the two cute bee images onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured them with Promarkers and added a few white highlights. There aren't any dies for these stamps so I used a heart die to cut them out. I found a really old paper pad that I think I got from Joanna Sheen (some of you will remember her lovely store) and cut a piece 4 1/2" x 6 1/2"; I also cut a slightly larger black mat and adhered them with double sided tape. I die cut the large happy word 3 times from black card and adhered them together with liquid glue. I stamped the anniversary word in black ink and used a sentiment strip die to cut it out. I also stamped the sister & brother-in-law sentiment in black ink and used my trimmer to cut a rectangle; again I cut a black mat and adhered them together with double sided tape. Finally I die cut hearts in 2 different sizes from red card. I added the large hearts and sentiments with foam squares and the happy word and smaller hearts with liquid glue. The panel was added to my card base with double sided tape. For the inside I cut the same size panels and stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink. I added a strip of the paper at the top of the panel and stamped another bee in the bottom left corner. I again coloured him with Promarkers and finished off with a few red hearts. I added the panel onto my card base with double sided tape. A fun anniversary card and I hope you like it.
