Silver Card

My card for DH – another pop-up box, but this time for our silver anniversary.

48 cupcakes

I needed to make a celebration cake for the anniversary party but I wanted something a bit different.  With a bit of planning, 2 silver trays (from the charity shop) and 48 cupcakes, I ended up with something different!

Silver Roses

This year, I decided to teach my self to crochet.  It was something that I had been unable to master, despite my Mum trying to teach me, yet, she did teach me how to knit.
With much perseverance,  a bit of cussing and a lot of time on the web, I finally managed to make a shawl.  I was so proud of myself.  Two more shawls later, I decide to have a go at crocheting roses – silver roses to be precise.
 


Not bad for a beginner.

Project 25

We decided to have a party for our silver anniversary.  Of course, I made the invites.

The 25 was cut using a Sizzix Christmas die (Sizzlits Decorative Strip – stacked words Christmas 658257).  I embossed a white postcard (Textured Impressions Embossing & Stamp Set – Flourish 658280) and I used a silver ink pad to highlight the embossing.  I edged a plain white card with silver dotty washi tape, added some ribbon and hearts with our names – I was pleased with the final result.
