It is wedding season which also means that anniversaries are coming up! I was asked to create a 50th wedding anniversary card – what an honor! I’d like to share how I created this beautiful 50th wedding anniversary card – so simple! PROMISE!
First I cut/embossed the frame die set with a combination of white cardstock and gold mirror cardstock. I embossed the largest die cut to create texture and interest.
I found another oval die that fit perfectly into the oval space and a landing area for the butterfly. The layers that are mentioned so far were adhered by E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips onto the white card base.
After cutting/embossing the butterfly die, I applied DODZ™ Medium to its center and placed it on the card front. Are you familiar with our Dodz™ products? It is a double-sided, clear adhesive easy to use. They have a strong bond making them perfect for intricate objects like this butterfly die cut. Love their single dot dispenser – no fighting the stickness! LOL!
I gently bent the butterfly’s wings for dimension and added a pearl in the center. It’s ready to given…another look.

It’s not clear how you adhered the large white layer to the gold mirror layer. I suppose if you have a dimensional butterfly, you’re not concerned about curlicues on that white layer catching on the envelope. How would you adhere it if you were?

Hi, CC! First of all, thank you for taking time to read and comment on my post today 🙂
I adhered all the layers with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips (as mentioned under the second image). I used the heavy white cardstock for my delicate layer so it laid flat. I did not have issues with inserting in its envie.
If there is a concern, I recommend substituting with Adhesives Sheets – 4 x 6″ to cover the entire die cut OR apply E-Z Dots® Permanent to the corners. Thank you for your question!
