Default Anniversary Cards

I really struggle with anniversary cards. Does anyone have any ideas? What are the best stamp sets for anniversaries?

Any ideas gratefully received!!

It all depends on the couple. Sometimes I use hearts or Valentine-type images. Other times I use traditional wedding icons, such as bells, cake, champagne glasses, etc. For my MIL & FIL's card this year, I did something different. My MIL loves Cinderella; so this year, I used my Cricut and made them a Cinderella card. It had the Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the glass slipper (which I covered in vintage glass glitter). The saying was, "And they lived Happily Ever After."

Like what ScrapJanny said, I use hearts or the traditional wedding icons. A lot of times I'll also just make a floral card.

Since swans mate for life, a pair of swans swimming in a pond would send the right message...and they're easy to color - mainly shadows and highlights HTH

The two "lovebirds" and the heart tree from this set are my go-to anniversary stamps.

I like to use damask type stamps for anniversary cards because they are kind of classy. I can stamp a quick background, add "happy anniversary" and call the card good.

Technique Tuesday makes a damask one I really like just because of that. They also have one called Rococo.
Here's the Damask one.
Technique Tuesday: Damask
And here's the Rococo one.
Technique Tuesday: Rococo

Good luck in your search!

I am doing 30 anniversary cards a month for my hubbys employer. They give out cards for the employee anniversary with the company. It is interesting but lucrative. This keeps on my toes for new anniversary ideas I can use in this way.

I like to use Baroque Motifs from SU and the word "cherish" which is part of that set.

I like Medallion type, or a embossed vintage background reminds me of wedding dressed.Leah

I just created this card for my sister's 20th. Maybe it will give you an idea or two.

The few anniversary cards I make I do for close people. I usually use their flowers from their wedding (ie roses or carns) and or their wedding colors in the card. Then I go from there.
