Welcome to The Craft's Meow's September Release Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Julie Ranae's blog, or you can start at the beginning over at The Craft's Meow!
The in-laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary next year, and "the kids" are already in full planning mode. We have to proceed with caution though, as they are not the big party type people however we want their day to be extra special. Any suggestions?
One thing that I absolutely love about The Craft's Meow stamps are their versatility and ability to be combined, even when designed by two different designers! Today my card features pattern elements from Elizabeta's Lovely Oval Set and the sentiment is from my set, Golden Days. (Did you know that Golden Day's is September's Gift with a $50 purchase so you can stock up on your favorite sets...)
So glad that you stopped by today to help celebrate this month's release! You can be eligible to win all six new sets from The Craft's Meow by visiting and making a unique comment on each design team member's blog. The deadline to comment is 9:00 pm PDT, on Sunday, September 23rd.
Your next stop on the hop is Lindsay Amrhein!

ReplyDeletePerfect ...stunning card Karen... you nailed the theme!!!! I love it... hugs...xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! I'm sure they'll love this beauty :) Good luck coming up with a plan - it's hard to decide what to do if they're not party people.. I keep thinking a cruise would be perfect for a couple celebrating that many years together. Expensive though!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Good luck with the party/gift plans! TFS.
ReplyDelete50 years...that's totally awesome. Your card is gorgeous! Love all the embossing and of course, I love the sentiment.

So were you two in cahoots when designing - all part of your plan for the upcoming 50th??? Wonderful card. Your set too - again I love the fonts. For my parents 60th we all went away for a weekend - to downtown Detroit, their old stomping grounds. They were skeptical at first but loved it. Low key, but wonderful family time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! very elegant
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous and elegant! Have a great weekend. I hope it isn't as cool and rainy as it is down here.

Golden days is my favourite of the month, how cool is that it's a free gift for $50 purchase !!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and I think a family getaway weekend would fit the occasion for the upcoming anniversary and maybe a family portrait would be great as a memento gift instead of a party.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, classic and elegant!
ReplyDeletePerfect for a 50th anniversary!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Karen! Never thought to stamp on tissue paper!
ReplyDeleteReally elegant! I like the pin tucked under part of the border.
ReplyDeleteLovely elegant card!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and love the borders!! Really elegant look...beautiful!
ReplyDeletestunning!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Perfect anniversary card. TFS
ReplyDeleteso pretty and classy! gorgeous card, Karen! love love it! hope you have a lovely weekend! =)
ReplyDelete50 years is amazing!! A perfect card to match the occasion. Wedding anniversaries are hard to plan for - but the best ones I've been to have been full of little personal details and remembering memories - all stuff that I'm sure you're considering anyway. Good luck with the planning ( it'll give you a great excuse to do some papercrafting!!).
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards...love the amazing elegance of the second and the cute pin detail.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful I love the white and gold simply beautiful. TFS AJ-
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous...I need not say more!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful anniversary card, just love it! If your parents aren't into "parties"--do they like picnics? Or how about everyone meet at a resort or lodge and spend a weekend together? My parents just celebrated 62 years, they like parties and we had a huge one for their 50th, but other years we've done the picnic and also all met at someone's home.
ReplyDeleteKaren your set is gorgeous!! I love that beautiful green...and the ribbon...gorgeous!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! I love the green color scheme you used for this!
ReplyDeleteThis is so so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely anniversary card, thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Karen!!
ReplyDeletePerfect card for the Golden Anniversary
ReplyDeletegreat card - love the embossing details!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card love it !
ReplyDeleteI do like simple cards like yours, especially for adults. It seems to make the card more about making something special for those who receive it and less about using as many embellishments as possible.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely anniversary card!
ReplyDeleteStunning anniversary card, Karen! WOW. I must try that embossed border technique - it's fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLove how classy and elegant this card is Karen! Terrific embossing! love the pin accent too!
ReplyDelete~Meredith
I love the details and shine on your card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely 50th anniversary card!!!
ReplyDeleteMy in-laws celebrated their 50th last year- they didn't want a party either! A VERY special dinner out did the trick! :)
Back to basic and it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunner! Love all those fabulous layers of borders and your gorgeous sentiments. :)
ReplyDeleteI already commented, but here is my official one: GORGEOUS!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! :)
