Anniversary Cards

Today I though that I would show you the other two cards that I made using the Kanban dies and toppers set. The first is a card to my Husbands Nephew and his wife who are going to be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in a few days time. As they don't read this blog I know I'm safe posting this here now.

 This second card is for My daughter and Son-in-law who celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary on 1st March. The backing paper/card was also in the set so matches the background of the topper on this second card. Both of the cards are 8x8. As I said yesterday I don't normally buy kits, but I have to say that this one is quite beautiful.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

The last couple of weeks my Mojo went for a walkabout and I found it very difficult to get motivated. However a little bit of snow and it came running back again (I'm glad to say). The other week on Create and Craft Kanban had some lovely looking dies, they came with a card kit as well. Normally I don't buy kits as they just stay sat in a box unused. But this weekend I decided to get one sheet out and make it up. This card was made using the smallest of the elements on the sheet, die cut using the die with the set, as are the top two layers of matting. I needed a background to put onto the card, so I went to one of my many boxes of printed papers (these have been either cut down or discarded after being printed for one reason or another) and found this which matches perfectly. I didn't even need to cut it to size, just pop it onto the top of a piece of silver mirri card. As I used a scrap or left over piece of backing paper it gives me a good excuse to pop over to Pixies Snippets Playground this week.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
