I created today’s card for my brother and sister-in-laws 23rd wedding anniversary -with the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set and the coordinating Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folders.
I have tried to give the card a vintage look, Roccoco Rose and Sahara Sand and the 4 texture stamps in the set has some pretty curly shapes which are perfect for vintage along with some sponging and Basic Jewel Pearls.
Oh………… I have a new color combination that I have fallen in love with…………. Soft Sea Foam and Gray Granite, both are new members of the SU color family and they go together so very well.
I have a number of wedding anniversaries on the horizon and wanted to make some cards ready to send, I also wanted to use one of the new bundles that was on the first order I placed after the new catalog went live on June 1st – Pop of Petals – a stamp set of the same name and the Four Petal Flower Punch.
The Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set is my ‘go to’ set, I love the flowers and the set has a ‘bunch’ of lovely greetings in a beautiful cursive script. The fact that there is a coordinating set of framelit dies just adds to the usefulness of this set.
Sometimes I am a little stumped at which colors to use, Stampin’ UP! has 50 to choose from (I know black and white are not technically colors – but when you are ‘crafty’…….. well they can be colors!) Turning to the Designer Series Paper section of the annual catalog gives lots of inspiration and heaps of choices.

‘Crazy about You’ is the perfect title for a stamp set used for an anniversary card. I made this card in May for the wedding anniversary for the couple whose husband was our best man at our wedding.
I chose to make the card in Cherry Cobbler and Gold as those were their wedding colors back in 2006.
I needed cards for three different occasions, “Happy Birthday’, ‘Happy Anniversary’ and ‘Congratulations’ for a new grandchild. I decided the same design would work but using different colors and to change the layout of the ‘card candy’ (a new term I just learned, meaning embellishment!) The stamp set was Stampin Up’s Creative Elements ( and we just heard today this set is being retired and is now only available while stocks last!) see the bottom of this post for a great ‘free shipping’ offer 🙂
