It’s our 29th anniversary! We don’t go overboard celebrating them but I don’t think a card is too crazy. Honestly, I wanted to make one just to use these stamps from Flourishing Phrases stamp set! LOL I absolutely agree with them, don’t you? Someone asked me what was our secret to a happy marriage and I instantly replied that you have to be best friends. That doesn’t mean that you can’t have interests that are different (believe me, my husband is scared to walk in my craft room!) but you do have to enjoy being together. I was a little apprehensive to use Berry Burst on a masculine card but really do think it works!
It’s All in the Details
- Night of Navy Card Base: 9 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ and scored at 4 7/8″
- Berry Burst: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/4″
- Shimmery White Cardstock: 5 3/8″ x 4 1/2″
- The sentiments from Flourishing Phrases were stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock and cropped out.
- The Berry Burst cardstock was dry embossed in the Sweetheart embossing folder, then layered with Shimmery White cardstock. Night of Navy ribbon was tied then wrapped around the cardstock and secured with adhesive.
- The sentiments were popped up with dimensionals onto the layered cardstock.
- The Finishing Touch was adding the Night of Navy Enamel Shapes.
Inside
- I found the perfect sentiment in Blooms & Wishes! I inked it in Night of Navy then cut out the sweet hearts from Lots to Love Box Framelits. Done!

Congratulations!
I think the Berry Burst goes perfectly with the Night of Navy and it’s perfect for this card. Lovely Anniversary card. Chantell Just Add Ink
Wow! Congratulations, Debbie! Isn’t it amazing how quickly the time flies when you are in a wonderful relationship? I wish you both all the best and many more happy years. Yes, the colors do look fantastic, no matter what gender – it’s your sentiments that I love. Best Wishes! xx
I’ll bet he loves this card! Its vibrant and the sentiment is just right! And thanks for reminding me about the sentiment on the inside- it’s perfect for my Valentine card for Mike (since getting lost last weekend my way to Santa Cruz)
You are Always the best in my book!!
First and foremost, Congratulations, on 29 years!
Loving the Berry Burst, with the Navy, perfect match for a male card, instead of the basic brown and greens.
What really caught my eyes, were the saying on your card, from Flourishing Phrases…it brought tears to me eyes!
I know your Husband will love his card!
And I do too!
A beautiful sentiment and a lovely classic design Debbie. Thanks for sharing at just add Ink.
