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!

A Shimmering Sunset Anniversary Card

Hello, friends! Today I'm sharing a card that came together in the prettiest, moodiest color combination — perfect for celebrating an anniversary. This card is from the Scenic Coast Craft Class.

The Front of the Card

I started my background with a fun polka dot pattern using a mix of Crushed Curry, Gorgeous Grape, and Strawberry Slush ink, stamped with a circle stamp from the Sunset Coast stamp set. The scattered dots in these warm and cool tones set a festive, celebratory tone right from the start.

For the focal point, I cut a sunburst design out of Basic White cardstock using the coordinating Sunset Coast dies. I adhered that sunburst onto a piece of Sunset Shimmer Vellum, which gives the whole panel a soft, glowing, sunset-inspired blend of color peeking through the die-cut rays.

The sentiment, "Happy Anniversary," is also from the Sunset Coast stamp set, stamped in Gray Granite ink and layered right across the center of the sunburst.

To finish off the front, I tucked in a few Sunset Sparkle Sequins for some extra shine and sparkle among the rays.

Inside the Card

Opening up the card reveals a sweet sentiment from the Phrases and Frames stamp set, stamped in Gray Granite ink:

"Anniversaries are for the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the wishes of tomorrow."

It's the perfect thoughtful message to pair with all that shimmer and shine on the front!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires your next anniversary creation.

Happy stamping!
