I ended up going with a free file from Birds Cards that I had downloaded earlier this month.
I went online to see what the traditional colours are for 65th Anniversary -
Sky Blue according to About.com
In Cricut Design Space I resized the card so that the back part of the card measured 5x5.
Then I made 2 labels - one for the back of the card that was personalized and another for the inside with an Anna Griffin Anniversary sentiment that I found in Design Space.
I used the writing feature with my Cricut Explore with the Pilot Precise V5 pens - I was so impressed with these pens in the Explore. I took a short video clip with my iPhone as it was writing.
The fine detail is amazing!
Inner label with Sentiment from Anna's Garden Cards & Embellishments written with Cricut Explore.
I cut the base of my card using CTMH White Daisy Cardstock
and covered the front opening with light blue vellum.
I cut the outer frame piece out of CTMH Silver Glitter paper and carefully attached it so nothing stuck to the vellum. I wanted the vellum to bend with the front of the card and hide the inner sentiment label.
I used my CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge to cut a 5x7 Envelope out of CTMH Glacier Cardstock in keeping with the 65th Sky Blue Anniversary theme.
Birds Cards cutting files are available free for personal use only.
