Personalized Anniversary Card




Hello, everyone! It's Lynnea Hollendonner and I used the Happily Ever After stamp set to create an anniversary card for someone very special to me - my husband!! I wanted to make him a simple card that would remind him of our own wedding. Our wedding colors were sunflower yellow and chocolate chip brown, so I played off of that to create an anniversary card for him.






How - To

  • Start by blending a portion of a piece of white cardstock with yellow inks from dark on the left to light on the right. 
  • Stamp and white heat emboss hearts from the Happily Ever After stamp set over the yellow ink and color with plain water for a subtle bleaching effect. 
  • Cut a diagonal strip out of the center of a second piece of white cardstock and mount on top of the ink blended panel with fun foam. 
  • Stamp sentiment from the Happily Ever After stamp set

Faux Framed Wedding Scene




Hey, everyone! It's Lynnea Hollendonner with a quick way to create a faux frame! This technique is great for framing up little scenes and as soon as I saw this couple in the Happily Ever After stamp set I knew I wanted to frame them!









How - To

  • Mask off a semi circle at the bottom of a piece of A2 cardstock and blend on green ink for the grass. Use a cloud stencil and light blue ink to create clouds in the sky. 
  • Stamp 3 flowers from the Easter Bounty stamp set repeatedly across the hill and color with Copics. 
  • Stamp and clear emboss sentiment from Happily Ever After onto the hill. 
  • Stamp, color, and cut the image and glue onto the scene. 
  • Die cut a rectangle from a piece of A2 cardstock to create a frame. Using scissors snip from the outside corner to the inside corner at each corner. This will leave 4 strips - 2 short and 2 long. 
  • Using light gray Copic markers flick color onto the end of each strip and assemble them onto the card with foam tape.
