For my Anniversary card, I decided to create a masculine design. I combined the Embrace Each Moment stamp set (item #152594) with the Stitched Be Mine Dies (item #151814) in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. For the background, I wanted a rustic feel so I chose one of the designs from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (item #152494) with a weathered wood grain look.
To create this card design, I started with Real Red cardstock for the card base and I added a layer of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for the background. Using a piece of Linen Thread (item #104199), I wrapped it around the designer series paper layer twice and tied a bow on the left side of the card front. I attached the designer series paper layer to the card base with adhesive.
The hearts were created using the Stitched Be Mine Dies and I die cut one each of Whisper White, Real Red and Silver Foil to create the two focal images. On the White cardstock heart, I stamped the hands image from the Embrace Each Moment stamp set with Early Espresso Classic ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, to lighten the outline. I colored the hands using Dark and Light Petal Pink and Ivory Stampin' Blends Markers and blended the images with the Color Lifter. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto the Real Red cardstock heart with Silver Embossing Powder,
To assemble the hearts, I adhered the Whisper White heart on the right side of the card front, over the top of the Linen Thread. I then added the Real Red scalloped heart frame around the outside of the heart. Next, I adhered the Real Red sentiment heart to the left side of the card front so that it slightly overlaps the Whisper White heart. I then added the Silver Foil scalloped heart frame around this heart. To complete the card design, I colored several Basic Rhinestones with the Dark Real Red Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the card front for a touch of bling. I love how this card turned out and I think it works well as a masculine Anniversary card.
