Flourished Heart 50th Card

Create this 5x7 finished size special occasion card 

to express the joy of the golden anniversary, 

featuring front layered window and cut-in flourished 

heart panels (use a fresh sharp blade), outline heart, 

single numerals with welded ‘50’ number base, 

folded double-ended banner and top “celebrate” welded 

word (with some separate letters to overlay if desired). 

Use Silhouette Studio tools to prepare a “print & cut” banner 

with names of the couple, or hand-pen if preferred. 

Since there many are other “milestone” anniversaries 

to commemorate, other single or paired numbers 

are included: 1, 5, 10, 25 and 40. 

(A companion set of single numerals with offset 

base shapes is also available to modify this card 

for birthdays or other significant events.) 

Card measures approx. 5” x 7” when fully assembled. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A card front panel with heart window cut out

B card second layer front with flourished heart

C card base for 5x7 card when folded

D heart window offset outline

E "celebrate" word cut out with opt. extra

overlay letters c, l, b, a & e

F '50' numerals and welded offset base shape

G folded two-ended banner shape

(personalize this card by using "print & cut" software

tools, stamping or hand writing name of married

couple, or card recipient(s).

2. Position the card front panel over the flourished

heart design cut out second layer, align outer edges,

and attach in place where they overlap.

NOTE that the front panel opening is slightly

offset to reveal a narrow margin of second panel.

3. Position and attach the (gold) heart outline

shape around the cut out heart window of

front panel, with narrow margin all around

within the heart outline next to window edge.

4. Prepare the 'celebrate' word cut out assembly

and '50' numbers assembly by positioning and

attaching letters or numbers over the corresponding

base shapes. Numbers will be offset; optional

extra letters will overlay exactly.

5. Prepare the folded banner by bending the center

pair of fold lines back (mountain folds) and

the outward pair of fold lines forward (valley folds).

If desired, some of the dimensionality and "springy-ness"

can be managed by applying a dot of glue behind

the inward fold created by perf lines (centered),

then re-folding and applying pressure to keep the banner

ends secured in their folded positions.

6. Finish the assembly of the card by positioning

and centering the front panel assembly onto

the folded card base, with offset margin all around

front panel between cut edges and fold.

Next, position (centered) and attach the word cut

and '50' numbers onto the front panel.

7. Finish by positioning (centered) the folded

names banner onto the lower portion of card

and attaching ends in place.

Here is the completed card.
