Anniversary card – Feathered Fun

Anniversary card – Feathered Fun. Don’t you just love reversible stamps? You can stamp on both sides! One side has all the details, but the reverse has the general shape. It means if you’re not keen on colouring, the solid image on the reverse does that for you. What a time saving bonus! All the images in the Feathered Fun Photopolymer stamp set are of pairs of birds which can snuggle together. There are no sentiments, so you can just add your own from any stamp set. That gives it so much versatility.

Golden Anniversary card

I made this for my hubby to mark our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Has it really been 50 years already? Showing my age now! By the time this is published, the day would have come and gone, so I think it’s pretty safe to post it here.

Something old and something new

1. I used the Birthday Celebration Dies from The Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection which was in the 2025 January-April Mini for the number “50”.
2. The Gold Foil mat layer was cut with the Textured Notes Dies an Online Exclusive which was released in March 2025. There are 7 nested rectangular dies and another stand alone rectangle die in the set. One being the smallest in the nest of 7, I used number 5.
3. Gold embossed lovebirds are stamps from Feathered Fun, a new online exclusive coming in May 2025.
4. The fussy cut embossed text adhered to the inside of the card is from Sentimental Framing Bundle which is also a new Online exclusive which will be available from 6 May 2025.

How to make the card

1. Cut White Willow 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) card stock : 5 ¾” x 8 ¼” (14.5 cm x 21 cm). Fold in half.
2. Gold Foil – cut 2 pieces 4″ x 5 ⅝” (10 cm x 14 cm). Conserve Gold Foil by “gutting the insides”. Place in trimmer and cut a ¼” border frame on all 4 sides on both pieces. Attach tear n’ tape to the frame and adhere to card front leaving an even border on all 4 sides. Repeat for the other piece and set aside for later. Reserve remnant for future use on another project.
3. Cut 2 pieces of White Willow : 3 ⅞” x 5 ½” (9.5 cm x 13.5 cm). Emboss both pieces with new May 25 Online Exclusive Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder .
4. Adhere number 5 die cut Textured Notes die in Gold Foil and adhere with dimensionals on top of White Willow Pressed Flowers embossed layer.
5. Stamp and emboss Lovebirds from the Feathered Fun stamp set in Versamark ink and gold emboss. Fussy cut and adhere with dimensionals on to gold foil layer.
6. Also stamp branch and leaves in Versamark ink and gold emboss then arrange and adhere to card front. Remember to adhere branch behind the Lovebirds tails.
