Shadow Box Anniversary Gift

I created this Shadow Box home decor item to help friends celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Their daughter helped out by getting a copy of the couple’s wedding photo for me.

For this project I used a variety of items including a few things that have long since been retired.  Here is a partial list of items:

  • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set
  • Magnolia Memory Dies
  • Animal Friends Dies
  • Frosted Bouquet Dies
  • Stitched Rectangle Dies
  • Stitched Shapes Dies
  • Very Vanilla 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Trim

Stamping Tip:  The embellishment in the center of the magnolia flower was silve and I wanted it to be gold toned for the golden anniversary (50 years).  I heat embossed the embellishent with gold embossing powder – be careful if you do this.  It took the metal a while to cool off!

The Pearl Basic Jewels looked too white for this project so I used the Ivory Stampin’ Blend to color them.  They ended up looking more vintage which is the look I was going for.

After spending lots of time on the Shadow Box, I needed a simple card to go with the gift.  This is one of the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards mounted on the small card base.  A bit of lace and a sentiment were all that was needed to finish off the project.

The surprise party was truly a surprise and I’m pretty sure they liked the Shadow Box, too.
