If you’ve been following my blog you know that for the past three weeks, my husband and I were traveling. Well, vacation’s over and I’m trying to get back into the groove. Guess you would say that I’m suffering vacation withdrawal! Have you ever experienced it? In addition to visiting places on our bucket list, we celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. (yes, I was just a babe when we got married! LOL) Before leaving on the cruise, I made an anniversary card for my husband. It was definitely a surprise to him. He wondered when I had time to make the card between Christmas, packing for our trip, removing Christmas decorations on December 26 and watching the two grandchildren on New Year’s Eve. Fortunately, I was able to sneak in a few minutes from the busy schedule to make a simple stamping anniversary card. The Heartfelt Bundle and Country Club Designer Series Paper from the Mini Catalog were perfect to use for creating a quick card.
How to create the card:
Use Thick Whisper White cardstock for the card base. Next, add a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of Garden Green cardstock. The top layer is a piece of the plaid Country Club Designer Series Paper (3-3/4″ x 5″). Punch a Garden Green heart using the Heart Punch Pack from the Heartfelt Bundle. Stamp the dotted heart onto Whisper White cardstock using Night of Navy Stampin’ Pad. Use heart punch to cut the shape. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog. Add he green heart to the card using snail adhesive and layer the sentiment heart atop the green heart using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel adds a touch of sparkle to the sentiment heart. Finish the card by wrapping the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the card and tying into a flat knot.
Hopefully, you were able to view my Facebook posts featuring photos of some of the spots visited. As we were cruising, internet was not reliable thus I did not post as many photos as planned. Our trip was outstanding and we were able to cross a few places off of our bucket list. Below are a couple of highlights from our excursion to Machu Picchu. Definitely, add this wonder to your trip bucket list.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great weekend and check back next week for more project ideas!

One of the exciting things about the 2020 Mini Catalog is the inclusion of stamps perfect for creating masculine cards. A perfect example is the By The Dock Bundle. The bundle includes the By The Dock Stamp Set and coordinating Dockside Dies. Since we live in a lake community, I look forward to using this bundle often. Especially the dock stamp and coordinating die…it’s just what I can use to create cards for my lake loving neighbors. You can find this set on page 49 in the Mini Catalog.
In the short video below, Brian provides additional information regarding the bundle:
The By The Dock Bundle offers lots of versatility. Many of the elements will coordinate with products from the Annual Catalog, allowing you to expand your creativity. The best part about purchasing a bundle – you save $10%.

Since my husband and I are are traveling, I am sharing the product video from Stampin’ Up! on the Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle. It is available in the recently released January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. The suite bundle includes two bundles – Painted Poppies bundle and Peaceful Moments bundle. With the two bundles, you have endless creative possibilities. I love the vibrant colors of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. The hand painted blooms and watercolor washes make beautiful backgrounds or focal points.
