Anniversary card featuring a cute little envelope filled with an embossed felt heart and an embossed greeting

Our oldest daughter and her DH are celebrating an anniversary this weekend.  This is the card I made for them.  

I started with a dark brown card that fit inside a large envelope from my stash.  I added some all over stamping to the outside edges of my card because I was leaving such a large border around my decorative paper.  I die cut  a little envelope out of light yellow cardstock, folded it leaving one flap up and then tied it with a red ribbon to keep it folded.  I inserted a red embossed felt heart into my envelope.  Worked very well!  I mounted my envelope and the embossed a greeting below with gold embossing powder.  I added a little red heart punchie between the two words.  This large element was mounted to my brown card and my card was finished.  Really like how it turned out!!

Birthday cards featuring a cute little owl, lace and fun decorative paper

A birthday card for my second oldest grand daughter.  They are all growing so fast.  We have not seen them in quite a while because of restrictions.  I started with a large envelope from my stash and created a light pink card to fit inside.  I added the fun decorative paper and added the strip I cut off to the bottom edge.  I trimmed a strip of white cardstock and added the coordinating lace then mounted that piece over the gap.  I did run my tracign wheel on top and bottom edges before gluing it down.  I also ran it along the edges of my owl image (Cre8tive hands) and on both edges of the font greeting.  I added coordinating ribbon to the image and then watercoloured it to coordinate.  I love this cute little owl.  I trimmed the bottom edge with my eyelet border punch (SU).  It is headed her way this week along with an envelope of fun.
