Homemade Anniversary Cards

When I think of homemade anniversary cards, what comes to mind are elegant designs and beautiful pattern paper.  When you make anniversary cards, think about the person or couple you are making it for.

Is the card for someone or a couple that is modern, whimsical or simple?   Is the person dramatic, then dare to be experimental and shocking in the design. 

Think of a pattern that compliments the person you are making the card for. Whether you choose electrifying designs or subtle ones, there are always lots of paper prints to choose from.

If you are going for an elegant look, here are some ideas you can try.

 Some paper patterns to use are damask prints or floral or even a sophisticated print.

The pattern paper I used for this anniversary card gives it a French and romantic feeling.  This card is more femine in color and design.  One of the tools I used is a border punch that had an eyelet design.  That's what gives the white trim on the side the look of eyelet lace but it's really made of paper.

You can certainly add more embellisments on this card but I chose to keep it subtle and stuck to two colors, blue and white.  The print on the paper has flocking but it's difficult to see on the screen.  If you don't have the eyelet punch, you can certainly use real lace.  I would buy the lace that is flat so it doesn't make your card bulky.

Here's the same card but in pink and this card is made for a baby shower invitation.  So, you can create this design for so many other card occasions.
