Ruby Wedding Card

Posted on July 13, 2025July 6, 2025 by Mo Rootes

I made this shaker card to celebrate the ruby wedding anniversary (40^th) of my brother and sister-in-law which is today. I made it using the new Party Alphabet dies and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the ruby anniversary card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8” by 7” scored at 3½”
Season of Elegance dsp – 7¾” by 3¼”
Thick Basic White card – 7½” by 3”
Window Sheet – 7⅜” by 2⅞” x 2
Secret Sea card – 3” by ½”

I lined the letters RUBY on the 7½” by 3” panel of Thick Basic White card making sure to get them as straight as possible. I held them in position with small pieces of Washi Tape from my stash and die cut them out. I removed the letters and set them aside as I did not need them for this card, but I did need the inner pieces from the R and the B.

The negative die cut panel and the inner pieces from the R and B were then embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. On the back of the embossed piece, I added one of the pieces of Window Sheet using Mini Glue Dots and the inner pieces were added in the correct places with Mini Glue Dots.

With the whole piece face down, I applied Foam Adhesive Strips around all 4 sides, between all the letters and supporting all the pieces which intrude into the letters. I dropped a pinch of sequins into each letter. I ran a bead of Multipurpose Liquid on top of the Adhesive Strip and added the second piece of Window Sheet overtop to seal the sequins in.

Using the Notes & Dotes Dies I die cut the bag, twice from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. I die cut 2 handles from scrap Basic White card and glued one to each of the die cut bags. I trimmed the tabs off the bottom of each die cut bag and then trimmed the bottom tabs in half. The remaining scorelines were folded and burnished and the 2 outer tabs of each bag were adhered together to close the bag. I applied glue to each of the tabs at the base of the bag positioned it against the scoreline on the inside of the card front and closed the bag to secure it in position.

From the 4¾” by 3½” panel of Basic White I die cut an arch using the Everyday Arches Dies. Using the same size die I also die cut a Berry Burst Arch from the same size piece of card stock. A larger Berry Burst and a smaller Basic White arch were also die cut using the same dies.

The large hydrangea image was stamped onto the larger white arch using Pebbled Path ink. I coloured the image using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks. I added Pretty in Pink ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more Pretty in Pink ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Berry Burst ink to add the detail.

The leaves were coloured with Soft Sea Foam, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The decorated arch was glued to the larger Berry Burst arch. I folded 4 of the strips of white card in half and glued them, in pairs to the card front with the folded edges up against the central scoreline, one on either side. The arch was then added on top of the tabs allowing it to float.
