First thing this morning I realised I needed to make a card for some family friends who were celebrating their first wedding anniversary today. I knew it needed to be something that was quick to make, but something that was also pretty special so decided to revisit a card I’d made for my BFF’s wedding a couple of years ago and make something similar.

I quickly gathered everything I needed – card blanks, embroidery silks in the wedding colours, a heart template, hammer and nail (plus scrap wood to protect my work surface) and got to work. Within an hour I had this end result.

I’m so happy with how this version of the card worked, and I’ve heard back that the couple loved it too.
