50th Anniversary Card

I wanted to make a very special card for a friend... so I put on my thinking cap... and low and behold came up with the perfect card... 

She always is eating pears... and they have been married for 50 years in June...  so those were the two determining factors for this card... 

LOL... have you ever seen SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED???  Well I just so happen to have had the pear patterns... and I made one... it only takes a FEW hours... 

and then I created a medallion, 3 layers thick and put that on the front... since this friend is also learning Tea Bag Folding...

And she just so happens to LOVE blue and white with yellow... 

so before I go on and on... here is the front of the card

Here is the front... blue and white on yellow...

With butterflies... 

 

some of her favorites...

 

 

Did I mention that she also loves BLING... and so I put 50 gem stones on this card...  count them... 

 

 

 

 

Now he is an engineer... so he will appreciate the pear... 

 

When you open the card, the pear is really on its side...  but I did make a special little card to write a message into it... 

 

 



 

And on the pocket...

WHAT A PAIR!!!

 

 

This is a picture of the pear standing up... which it does when the card it opened fully and laying flat...  so neat... love these designs... 

 

Well Barb and Bill.... Happy Anniversary to you both with many more years to come... hope that you enjoy each and every one of them... 

 

Thank You for stopping by for a visit... and hope that you have enjoyed this post...  I really appreciate your visits... please come back soon...

 

Have a very enjoyable day... and see you tomorrow...

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

 

Special Folds

I love making cards... duh... and I love making different ones... duh... and the more I make the more I want to make different ones...  make any sense to you??? I know you are most likely like that too... right??? 


Well... I wanted to share a few here with you...

 

Making a piece of paper that is punched and then you fold it to create a special place to glue a medallion... love it...  I also added a few VERY SPECIAL flowers that my dear friend Deana Barr made for me...  Don't worry Deana, I didn't glue these down...  they are double sided taped and that way the person that  receives this special card can use them on a blouse... although they might never get to anyone else... they might end up on mine... LOL.. 

 

adding little pearls is also an eye catcher... 

 

Pleating of paper... a special fold... and then adding a little folded tea bag on each fold... wow... special... this paper also was given to me as a challenge by one of my friends and students... Sheila... thanks again Sheila... loved doing this one... 

 

I love making this style of card from the first moment I saw it some 8 years ago... love it... never fails to amuse me in so many ways... what to put where... how many layers, etc etc...  you can really spend hours and hours on this one... 

 

So this time I added a lot of medallions... small, half ones, only tea bags folded etc. etc... the following pictures will show you all the special areas... 

 

enjoy... 

I hope that again you have enjoyed viewing these cards... I still have many more to share with you... I told you I love to make cards... and I also sell them... so if you are interested in any ... please let me know... some I will not sell... but 99% I will... 

 

have a super wonderful day and enjoy it all...  have a great week-end too...  create something for a loved one... 

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
