I haven’t had the chance to make a handmade custom wood card in a while, but when a longtime business friend asked for a special card to celebrate his 25th Wedding Anniversary, I knew it was time to get creative!
Since it’s a silver anniversary, I wanted this card to be more than just something in an envelope—it needed to be a real presentation. I designed the card specifically for a beautiful window box, adding a special touch.
The card features a mix of our finest woods: Aspen, Cherry, Walnut, and White Pine, all in different thicknesses—fleece, paper, and wood back.
Materials Needed For This Project:
- Aspen Wood Paper – Fleece, Paper, and Wood Backed Sheets
- Cherry Wood Paper – Fleece, Paper, and Wood Backed Sheets
- Walnut Wood Paper – Fleece, Paper, and Wood Backed Sheets
- White Pine Wood Paper – Fleece, Paper, and Wood Backed Sheets
- Glue (we used Bearly Precision Art Glue and Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue)
- Silver Ribbon
- Cricut Maker
- 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, circles, and the number “25,” bringing it all together beautifully. For the detailed assembly, I relied on our favorite adhesives: Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue and Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.
To add even more depth and dimension, I layered the wood flourishes and added a stunning silver ribbon, elegantly looped and twisted across the card.
Congratulations to our dear friends on their 25th Wedding Anniversary!
