Anniversary Card

Today's card was made to coordinate with the Anniversary Gift Card Holder I shared yesterday. I started with a card & envelope from Stampin' Up that has these gold brush marks which are really pretty. I love that the envelopes also have the touches of gold.

Since the cards are printed front and back, I cut one apart to give me two panels and die cut them with a stitched rectangle.  For the front panel I also embossed it with a textured embossing folder. The scribble heart and love dies are ones I've had for years and are long retired - but I still love and use them.

The sentiment inside is a two part stamp from Verve, again - long retired. Verve isn't even around anymore but I still have a great collection of their images. I always loved their stuff and would have bought more if I lived in the US where shipping costs are reasonable. 😊

One more look ...

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
