9th Wedding Anniversary Card

Give cheer Give a Cheer
Favorite

This is the card I made my schrubby for our 9th wedding anniversary. It's the first time I used the Hello Kitty Greetings and Font Cricut cartridges, which is why I didn't quite get the spacing right on the 2 1/2" HK image. The shimmery rainbow paper is actually silver metallic. Any smaller would've been difficult, because the tiny pieces are so tiny I had to just cut from slivers of scrap. Actually, I fashioned the whole card from scraps. I cut the star from white cs and colored it with gold gel pen. The 9 is from red cs, coated in loose glitter the old fashioned way (What a mess!), and mounted on foam adhesive.

I got the idea for this card from the phrase "on cloud 9". Then, I thought of playing up cloud themes which was what led me to the skywriting idea in the card and why I inked the edges in a silver "lining". The letters inside were cut from white paper scraps that I had previously run through my Xyron for other projects. I cut the cloud puffs from the batting that comes in jewelry gift boxes and mounted on mini glue dots. I considered using felt, but I like the wispier look of these.

There are nine clouds. Wherever clouds overlap, I've made sure that two different textures (criss cross v. horizontal) are next to each other so that they are distinct from one another irl. In the scan, it's hard to tell where one cloud ends and where the overlapped one begins. The silver numbered clouds mark our wedding date. The third cloud is also mounted on foam adhesive and holds three little words (my abbreviation and rearrangement). Yep, a lot of thought went into this card.

I plan on making a variation of this card for my friends' upcoming first wedding anniversary. It should be simpler and not take as long. It'll have the same HK image, one bigger cloud, and she'll be toting a banner where I'll either handwrite or stamp Happy Anniversary.
