Happy Anniversary/Valentines Day

Wow, it's that time of year again!

It is our 39th Wedding Anniversary - the day we got married in 1982, it was 42C - I am certainly glad it is not that hot today ..... a beautiful 25C as I write this post.

Making cards for men is a bit daunting, and making a card for hubby is a bit frustrating.  Whilst I can usually come up with a 'theme', I usually get stuck on keeping it simple and 'manly' with not too much glitter or bling LOL


There is no stamping on this card, nor is there any 'Kindy Glitz' .... my trade-mark, but there is just a touch of bling!


I used up a scrap of some beautiful red foil cardstock for the heart that was sitting in my stash.  Not sure where the polka dot scrapbook paper came from.

This card is made up of DieCuts using the Cuttlebug/ProvoCraft - Love Hugs & Kisses and Jig Saw.
Black peel off stickers and White square card from Blue Edge Crafts.

So, a fairly clean and simple card - perfect for my man!

    Well I think you got it just right for hubby and Happy Anniversary. Love how you interlocked the puzzles and just the right amount of gloss. And those sweet little hearts are placed perfectly. Thanks for joining Time Out x

    This turned out gorgeous and I think it's just perfect for your husband. I love the spacing of all the elements and all that white space to rest the eye. Those red hearts provide the right amount of color, and black/white/red always looks so sophisticated.

    Thanks for sharing at Cut it Up for our All You Need is Love challenge!
