Happy 50th Honey!

Happy 50th to my hubby!  I'm sad that we couldn't have a big party, but at least we were able to go out to dinner with our family.  I also made him some red velvet cupcakes...which does not help his sugar levels at all!

I wanted to make an envelope AND the card out of one 12"x12" piece of paper, so the card is 4" x 6".  I tell you, having the Envelope Punch Board is a true craft room essential.  I think you can get them from We R Memory Makers.  You can make just about any size envelope that you might need.

For the card, I have layers of the designer series paper, on Bermuda Bay, and then on a Night of Navy card base.  I wrapped some ribbon around the DSP/Bermuda Bay layer before I attached it to the Night of Navy.

The mix tapes are both stamped and hand-cut. "50" is from Labeller Alphabet.  One tape is glued down, and the other is popped up with dimensional tape.  A few blue sequins finished the card. 

Of course, I had to make a tag to attach to the envelope....same DSP, and same ribbon tied around it.  Tag is made from a square of the same DSP, layered on Night of Navy.  Bermuda Bay is punched with the old Starburst punch, then I've got a 2" layer of Night of Navy, and a 1 3/4" layer of White (embossed with a Crackle folder).

Cut the 50 out of Night of Navy with Foam Adhesive Sheet behind it.  I cannot stress enough how stick those foam adhesive sheets are!  The zero stuck to my fingernail, and I thought it would rip my nail off.

Happy and Birthday are hand-cut.  Those came from the Art Gallery stamp set.  I needed something small-ish, and that was within reach.

Making different size cards is fun.  Sometimes we need to break out from our norm.  Hope you enjoyed this one!
