A Berry Beautiful Anniversary Card

Hello, friends!

Windows are open, the light is pouring in, and I'm in the mood for florals — so today's card leans all the way into that with the gorgeous Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. If you haven't worked with this paper yet, you are in for a treat. The vellum florals have a soft, translucent quality that makes them look almost hand-painted once they're fussy cut and layered, and I thought it was the perfect fit for celebrating a couple's blossoming years together.

Getting the Look

I started with a soft lavender grid pattern from the Designer Series Paper collection as my base — it's subtle enough to let the focal elements shine without competing with them.

For the star of the show, I fussy cut individual blooms and berries right out of the Berry Botanical Vellum paper — golden berry clusters, blue florals, and rich red and plum blossoms. I layered them onto an angled label shape from the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, tucking in a few leaves underneath to ground the arrangement. Because the paper is vellum, everything has this beautiful soft, see-through quality that catches the light differently than cardstock ever could — it almost looks hand-painted once it's all layered together.

The Sentiment

The "Happy Anniversary" sentiment comes from the Phrases and Frames stamp set — such a versatile set to have on hand! I heat embossed it in gold embossing powder and tucked it right in among the florals so it reads as part of the bouquet rather than sitting separately on top. That warm gold script gives the whole design a little extra shimmer and elegance. Inside, I kept the coordinating sentiment simple, stamped in Fresh Freesia ink to echo the colors on the front for a cohesive finish from cover to inside.

The Finishing Touches

To add a bit of sparkle and dimension, I scattered several Pretty in Pink 2024–2026 In-Color Flat Pearls across the design — a few nestled right into the floral cluster, and several more floating across the grid background for movement and balance.

The combination of the vellum florals, the angled label frame, and the gold-embossed "Happy Anniversary" sentiment gives this card a soft, romantic, garden-gathered feel — perfect for celebrating a couple's special day!
