50th wedding anniversary card

Hi all
 Here is a golden wedding anniversary card i have made for my sis to give her sister in law.....I was asked to keep the colours to white and gold and not to put 50 on the front....
I was inspired to make this card design after i saw my cyber buddy's  Krafty karens card ,you can see her lovely 50th golden wedding card  here . Thanks for the inspiration kaz...
I used my go kreate frilly frame XL dies for the card base,the heart is cut with a sizzix die and i backed it with gold mirri.
The strip with embossing on is made using my new border embossing folders by darice and they are fab ,they give a deep embossed finish that looks great ,the dots were made using the cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder,which i used to give the punched flowers some detail too.the butterflies are made using a punch.
The lush gold wide satin ribbon and gold gems are from meiflower crafts....The lovely verse inside the card is from imagination ,a  site for  FREE card verses...i use it all the time.

altered key box

Hi all
 Here is a wooden box i have altered with papers from trimcraft first edition family ties papers.thay are beautiful quality ,some double sided and some glitered and embossed...lush.
the box is from .cc-craft.. I handmade the flowers using a tim Holtz tattered floral die and added stitched grosgrain ribbon and pearls from meiflower crafts.
The banner is made using a stampin up punch and the edge punch is also from stampin up . The little foam letters i have had for years  from a pound store. I quite like seeing some of the wooden structure so i did not cover the whole box in papers just the large panels ...it was easier and neater this way too...lol
