Close family friends are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and I wanted to make a card to send to them.  I started with 110 pound Recollections cream colored card stock that is 10″ wide and 7″ tall scored on the 10″ length at 5″, so the end result is a 5″ x 7″ card.  I bought a bunch of random paper and scrapbooking embellishments at a garage sale and used them for this project.  The word “Happy” in an oval was included, so I used the word “anniversary” from a set by MSE called Hand Written and stamped it with Stampin’ Up ink in Soft Suede over the word Happy.  I used snail adhesive to attach a layer of taupe colored paper that was 6 7/8″ x 4 7/8″ wide to the cream colored paper.  I then attached a piece of paper with diamonds to a piece of fun foam with tear tape to the taupe layer.  The diamond paper was    6 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ wide.  I had chipboard numbers “50” and used Versamark ink and Princess gold embossing powder on it and heat set the powder.  I used a cream colored piece of organza ribbon attached near the bottom of the diamond paper and made a bow with it and stuck the ribbon to the fun foam on the back before adhering the paper to the taupe layer.  I used tear tape to adhere the 50 with, and then put foam tape behind the oval that said “Happy Anniversary” and put them both on the diamond paper, evenly spaced apart.  When the “5: fell apart, I reattached the layers with Scotch Scrapbooking Glue.  I used an old Stampin’ Up sentiment for the inside from 1999 for inside the card with Soft Suede ink from Stampin’ Up.  I used washi tape with gold hearts on it and lined the bottom of my envelope with it.
