Creating a custom card for a milestone like a 60th wedding anniversary is always a special experience. This unique card was handcrafted using a combination of Wenge, Cherry, and White Pine Real Wood Paper—each wood bringing its own distinct character and texture to the design. The rich, dark tones of Wenge contrast beautifully with the warm hues of Cherry, while the light, natural finish of White Pine adds balance and elegance.
Thoughtfully designed for such a significant occasion, the layers and details in this card reflect the depth and beauty of 60 years of love and commitment. Real Wood Paper provides the perfect medium for blending craftsmanship with nature, resulting in a keepsake that’s not only stunning but also truly meaningful. Whether it’s for an anniversary, wedding, or any other momentous event, custom wood cards like this one turn memories into tangible works of art.
Materials Needed For This Project:
- Wenge .025 thick Wood Back Sheet Long Grain
- Cherry .010 thick Fleece Back Sheet Long Grain
- White Pine .010 thick Fleece Back Sheet Long Grain
- Glue (we used Bearly Precision Art Glue and Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue)
- Cream Ribbon
- Cream Beads with Beige Beading Thread
- Pop Dots
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut Design Space
- Variety of SVG files on Cricut Design Space
- Cricut Blades & Settings Tutorial for Cutting Real Wood Paper
To ensure the perfect execution of your project, we’ve provided Cricut Maker blades, cutting settings, and step-by-step instructions in our Cutting Real Wood Paper with a Cricut Maker Tutorial.
For this handmade wood card, I used my Cricut Maker to intricately cut the flourishes, multi-layered flowers, and stacked 3 layers of the number “60,” bringing it all together beautifully. For the detailed assembly, I relied on our favorite adhesives: Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue. Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue as well as Pop Dots for dimension on the “60” and the multi-layered flowers.
To elevate the card’s elegance, I added a handmade creamy ribbon bow that exudes sophistication. Paired with a delicate handmade string of pearly beads, these details bring an extra layer of charm and dimension to the design.
Adding to the card’s uniqueness, the inside design mirrors the front, using the same framing SVG files for a cohesive and polished finish. A few delicate flourishes were incorporated for added flair, ensuring that every detail ties together seamlessly. This level of thought and craftsmanship transforms the card into more than just a greeting—it becomes a cherished keepsake.
