Card Makeover

-

Hello everyone.  I trust this finds you well.  I have been so crazy busy that I haven't really taken the time to craft lately.  That means that I'm really far behind.  My brother and sister-in-law's anniversary was last week and I didn't have time to make a card.  So this is what I did to still give them a little something special.

I started by going into my card stash and discovered that I didn't have any anniversary cards made up.  However, I found this adorable wedding card that my friend Crystal made. ** Last year we had a card exchange club where each month we would pick a different theme and make around 8 cards.  Then we would exchange them between us.  It was great.  Not only did we receive great inspiration from each other, but we increased our card stashes.  Those cards have saved my bacon on more than one occasion.**

The next step was to figure out how to turn this wedding card into an anniversary card.  I grabbed my "All in the Family" stamp set from K. Andrew Designs, my ATG, and a couple of brads from Basic Grey and went to work.  In just a few minutes, I had an anniversary card.  How great is that?  Be sure to watch the video to see the before of Crystal's cute wedding card as well as how I made it into an anniversary card.



Thanks for stopping by.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

I really like the original card as well as your changes. I don't have much in the way of wedding stamps or Cricut cartridges, but I DO have hearts! I couldn't tell for sure from the video, was the "bride" heart just white cardstock? The "groom" heart looked like it had a little grey, perhaps? FTS!

The bride was white. The groom was white with a black top.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today.
