Happy 50th Anniversary to my parents! On July 4th we honored both of my parents for their milestone! I've got tons of pictures but thought I would post this one with their cake. We tried to duplicate their wedding from 50 years ago and this was a re-make of their cake. My mom is a very sentimental person and over a 50 year span, had kept her wedding dress, purse, ring bearer pillow and her pearls. We set up a display with all of these items along with some wedding pictures and current pictures of the kids, grand kids and great grand kids.

This is a photo of their 50th wedding invitation that I created:

I used "Whisper White" as the background color and layered a "Top Note Die" shape in "Gold".

For the "Bride & Groom" hearts, I used my "Full Heart Punch" and cut 2 in "Whisper White" and 1 in "Basic Black". For the bride I used the "Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder" and for the groom, using the "Basic Black" heart, I made a slit with an exacto knife and folded the two top sides over to create the tuxedo collar look. I layered that over the "Whisper White" heart layer. I hand-shaped a bow and used my "Paper Snips" to cut out and attached with a "Brad" to complete the groom's heart. The sentiment is from "Sincere Salutations" stamp set.

I cut pieces of "Vellum" paper to insert on the inside of the invitation to protect the lettering.


I typed the invitation wording on my computer in Word and tiled 4 per page. Once printed, I cut the sheet in 4 and used the "Top Note Die" to cut the shape. Adhere to inside of card.

I also used the "Top Note Die" for the shape of the RSVP cards that were included in the invitation mailing.


I created these goodie bags for the tables:

I used the "Fancy Favor Die" to create all of the goodie bags. I printed the information for the wording in Word and cut out using the "Curly Label Punch" and layered over "Gold" cut out with the "Scallop Circle Punch", add a bow and "50", fill with mints and tie bows to finish off the goodie bags.


The "Card". Dave and I presented this card to my parents:

I had fun creating this card.
Supplies Used:
  • Carstock: Whisper White and Gold
  • Stamp Sets: Elements of Style, Well Scripted
  • Dies: Scallop Die
  • Tools: Heat Gun and Embossing Powders

All stamped images were embossed in "Gold Embossing Powder" to create texture

For the envelope, I decorated again, with stamped images from the "Elements in Style" stamp set, "Gold Embossing Powder" and the "Lovely Letters Alphabet" stamp set.
