If you need a special card which can be customized for a variety of occasions, today’s anniversary card may be the inspiration you need. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s time for Clean and Simple week! Our host, the lovely and talented Joanne, is challenging us to use a single stamped image on our card. Roses were in order for my anniversary card, but there are SO MANY images that can be used. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. But before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, keep in mind that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:
Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I love a simple card idea which can be customized for any number of occasions. Although today’s card is an anniversary card, by switching out the sentiment it could be a wedding card, a birthday card, a Valentine, thinking of you, sympathy and more. Plus, you can customize the colors to accomodate the recipient’s personal preferance. I created this card to give to my husband for the anniversary we celebrated last week, and tailored it for us. Our wedding had a vintage vibe, so I felt the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder was a perfect choice for the background, but you can use any folder of your choice, or skip it completely. Our wedding colors were peach and sea foam, so I used Peach Pie and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers. Once again, you can use ANY color. The single image was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with gold, as was the sentiment which is from the Wonderful Thoughts set. Gold open weave ribbon and gold low profile dots add just enough interest without taking away from the cleaner vibe.

What a fabulous CAS vintage vibe you have going on here Ann with those cottage garden roses and beautiful embossed background. Love the subtle touches of gold too – gorgeous!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The Distressed Tile embossing folder is beyond beautiful and versatile. This is a small work of art, indeed!
So elegant, Ann! You’re using our favourite folder again and it looks perfect every time. 🙂
This is very elegant in gold, and the distressed background is perfect! What a lovely anniversary card to share with your hubby!
Lovely card! And so special that you created for your husband based on your own wedding. . Happy Anniversary!
Ann, the vintage look of the roses and the sentiment are so beautiful together! I had to look hard to see the open weave ribbon – it’s perfect for a subtle addition. Gorgeous card and I hope had a wonderful anniversary together!
The embossed background was the perfect addition.
Your card is Gorgeous.
Happy Belated Anniversary to you both
My jaw actually dropped when I saw that. Magnificent.
Ann, your cards are always beautiful. What a talent you have. Thanks for sharing.
