I need help with card idea ...

[Stampin'_Kiwi]

I'm been beating my head against the desk trying to come up with a novel idea.

I need to make a card for a couple who are both turning 50 and celebrating their 25th anniversary within a month, so I wanted to do a card to celebrate all 3 things together but can't come up with anything.

There is so much out-of-the-box talent here that I'm hoping somebody will give me some idea of which direction to take on this one.

Anyone ... Anyone ... Anyone ... ???

What about a trifold card? That way you can address each thing.

don't know the kind of supplies you have, but let me see if i can explain to you an idea i thought of this summer. I needed a card for my parent's anniversary. I used very vanilla cardstock (but this would look just as good in white too. I took a strip of black magic mesh and cut it in half to fit across the card length wise. Then i took my gentler times (stamp set) heart and stamped it with red ink again on vanilla. I actually stamped 2 of them and cut them both out and eventually masked them so that the 2 hearts were overlapping by about half to 1/3 or so. I placed that on my black mesh in the middle of the card. YOu could use silver brads or eyelets to make it look like you attached the mesh to the ends also, to give it the silver accents. then i took my little elegant heart swirlie stamp and stamped it at the top three times in black. At the bottom of the card i used the "Celebrate" from the wonderful words set. Hope this inspires you. wish i could show you how it turned out! Happy stamping!
