Happy Anniversary - We Just Go Together

Hey there! Judy V here sharing a fun and playful anniversary card that’s perfect for celebrating couples who truly just go together. This design came together with a mix of bold colors, sweet details, and a touch of whimsy.

The focal point of the card is the couple from Chuggin’ On Stamps toasting each other with their favorite drinks. I stamped them onto white card stock, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. 

Card Base

My card base measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches. I cut a 10 x 6 1/2 inch piece of white card stock. Score at 5 inches along the 10 inch side. Fold and burnish the sore line.

Card Background

I double mat a 4 5/8 x 6 1/8 inch piece of white card stock with black & red for the card background. Cut the black card stock to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. The red measures 5 x 6 1/2.

Adhere to the white card base.

Adding Layers

Cut a square piece of pattern paper from The Cat’s Meow Paper Pack. Mat with black card stock. The pops of red, pink, and white hearts add warmth and romance. The darker background helps the images stand out. 

Hand cut or die cut a red banner for an accent and adhere to the patterned paper square.

Cut a white rectangular panel. Mat with black card stock and layer on top of the pattern paper and banner. Stamp hearts from the Mix & Match Celebration Sentiments onto the white panel. 

Complete the Design

Adhere the couple to the rectangular panel with foam tape for a little dimension.

Add the sentiments. 

Stamp “Happy Anniversary” from the  Mix & Match Celebration Sentiments on white card stock. Cut with a circle die. Pair it with “We just go together” from Chuggin’ On Stamps. Stamp on white card stock and trim into a narrow rectangle with a black mat.

This card would be perfect for a favorite couple for several occasions. 

Handmade cards can be impactful without being overly complicated. Sometimes a sweet scene and a thoughtful sentiment are all you need.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope this anniversary card inspires you to celebrate love, connection, and those perfect pairings in your own cardmaking projects!

Toadal Sweetheart

Hey there! 

Today I'm sharing an inspiration card for this month's

Polkadoodles Craft & Card Making Challenge.

The design team was asked to created Thank You cards.

I know it's still winter but, I opted for a more spring themed card.

The card is a slimline design using the Toadal Sweetheart Stamp Set.

The cute frog image was stamped and colored with markers before fussy cutting.

Papers from Toadally Cute Paper Pack were used.

The "Thank You!" sentiment was printed from the 

Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments and die cut.

"You're a Toadal Sweetheart" sentiment was stamped from the stamp set and die cut.

I added some twine and a button.

Join in the challenge, won't you?

Cardstock Materials

Lessebo Pitch Black Cardstock

Cougar White Smooth CardStock 

Lessebo Blossom Pink Cardstock

Bazzill Canvas Texture Peach Cardstock

DCS Canvas Textured Seafoam Green

Chalkboard Prints 6×6 Card Stock Pad

Additional Materials

Flower, foliage, bee, heart and sentiment dies

Acetate, glue, double sided tape

Score board, bone folder, paper cutter

Box Construction

Cut a 10 1/2 x 7 inch piece of black card stock.

Score at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 and 10 inches along the long side and at 3 1/4 along the short side.

The 3 1/4 inch is the top of the box that form the flaps.

Cut 2 pieces of 1 x 3 1/2 inch pieces of black card stock to form the pieces that fit inside the box to attach your elements. Score these at 1/2 inch, apply double sided tape.

Cut along the score line down to the horizontal score line. Fold and burnish on each score line.

Cut 3 pieces of 2 1/4 x 3 1/2 inch pieces of patterned paper for the bottom of the box and 2/14 x 3 inch pieces for the flaps. An additional piece is cut to 2 1/4 x 6 inches for the solid back portion of the box.

I also usually add a piece of white cardstock measuring 2 1/4 x 6 3/4 inches to the back of the solid panel. This gives a place to add a personal message.

Adhere the patterned pieces of paper to 3 sides of the box bottom and 3 flaps.

Fold the scored pieces to form the box and attach the 1/2 scored piece to the inside with double sided tape.

Add the 2 1/4 x 6 inch piece of patterned paper to the inside back panel of the box. 

The 2 pieces of 1/2 wide black card stock were scored at 1/2 & 3 inches to form tabs to be adhered inside the box.

Pop Up Elements

Once the box construction is complete, die cut the pop up elements.

Assemble and add color.

Add some die cuts by gluing to the back flap. Adhere others to acetate strips and attach to the inner tabs.

Continue adding elements to complete design.

CHALLENGE RECOGNITION

 

Holiday Sleigh Centerpiece

Hi there!  Today I’m sharing a festive Christmas project that adds instant holiday charm to any room—a beautiful decorative sleigh created with the Clear Scraps Sled Memory Dex Box. This piece was so much fun to put together and makes a perfect table centerpiece, mantel accent, or handmade gift.

I started by painting the sled panels in a deep, classic holiday red.

For the outside panels, I adhered a distressed metallic paper with Mod Lodge. This gives the project a vintage, weathered-sleigh look—just the right mix of Christmas nostalgia and shine.

The next step is to assemble the sled with wood glue.

Once the sleigh was ready, it was time for the fun part, embellishing!

A bold red flower on the side adds the perfect touch. The combination of pine fronds and metallic berries creates a festive touch.

 Decorative die cuts from my stash were added to the front and back panels.

I tucked in a mix of evergreens, pinecones, berries, gold accents, and a few bright red apples for a pop of color. A bold red flower embellishment on the side adds the perfect finishing touch. The combination of textures—pine needles, glossy berries, metallic pearls, and rustic cones—creates such a rich, festive arrangement.

This project is easy to customize with whatever holiday florals or colors fit your décor. Whether traditional red and gold, winter whites, or something whimsical and bright, the Clear Scraps Sled Memory-Dex Box is the perfect base for a one-of-a-kind holiday décor piece.

I hope this inspires you to create your own Christmas centerpiece! Handmade décor brings so much joy during the holiday season, and this sweet little sleigh is definitely one of my new favorites.

Happy crafting and merry Christmas!

Winter Birthday Card

Well, we're nearing the end of another year.

I cannot seem to figure out where this year has gone.

Is it just me?

It was just summer and here we are, the first day of winter.

So, being winter I thought I would create a winter themed birthday card.

I've used this cute penguin digi from 

Conie fong Art & Design.

It is from the 

Snowy Delivering Presents Bundle.

This cutie was colored with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

I used a falling snow embossing folder on the white background.

Added a strip of patterned paper and a die cut sentiment.

Snowy is popped with foam tape onto a layered die cut rectangle

for this simple design.

Thanks for stopping by and stay safe and warm!
