26th Anniversary

Aug21

Hi There,

Today I’m sharing a card that I made for my wonderful husband for our 27th Wedding Anniversary. I took multiple images to make him up a funny card. Which he absolutely loved and hopefully you all will too!!! It was a lot of fun to make and I used a combination of Kenny K Stamps that were monthly freebies I had received and also Simply Betty Stamps which I recently purchased.

To make the card, I used Microsoft Word and my HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 which allows me to do double sided printing. YAY! I printed out the verses on 2 full pages and then glued the 2 backing together. I coloured all of the images and then fussy cut around them.
