Sure, people love familiarity because it is comfortable but relationships need novelty, fun and
courtship behaviors. Although, this section states that in case you see the fire in the relationship
diminishing, coming up with well articulated anniversary cards is a great way to spark the love
again.
Just the other day you received a warm hand written note and it takes you to an era of sweet
memories and affectionate smells. Anything written in honey has a romantic ring about it and
reading such letters again will turn on the amorous side of the couple. To increase the cards’
effect you should use souvenirs that were left from your first date, or the letter that was written a
long time ago. The physical tokens take the partners back into the time when each and every
passing second was a joy that one looked forward to.
Being intentional in the effort to make note and remember those little things that matter by taking
time to make little notes and nicely worded messages. First, you’ll want to include tangible
descriptions and events that are and the person you are writing for will miss, any funny stories,
references that only the two of you understand, or qualities that he or she prized. It makes you
re-discover the things that initially attracted you to each other thus rekindling the feelings you
have for each other. When one is thus understood affection and love that has been given
revives and is cherished anew
Maybe you would want to add a little creativity to the cards. Add bouquet, pressed flowers, love
poems or your song. Some of the fun of creating relatively unique elements yourself is the
vulnerability of having to share parts of your heart. The effort will demonstrate how much you
care for your sweetheart now as much as on the evening of your first date. Going through
personal notes to recall old interactions brings back those warmth producing brain chemicals for
a late at home date night pick up.
Expressing your happiness about the future that you are going to make together like the travels
that characterize this movie. This is the reason why courtship energy, necessary to keep
passion flames burning on is maintained once the great adventure and its future chapters are
visualized. This is because when people look outwards they maintain closeness rather than
develop inward self-satisfaction which can precipitate the deterioration of even the best
relationships in the long run.
Above all, funny anniversary cards remind one of the fact that the decision to cherish the
other is as accurate today as when saying ‘until death do us part’. Taking time to deploy
sentiments of commitment, care, and all the things that makes one Appreciate the journey so far
brings back that sparkle in both eyes and heart. Thus, making a little effort, one can keep the
spell of anniversary notes and continue the story of loving adventures for more years.
SCRATCH AND BREATHE EMBELLISHMENT FOR THE LIVING ROOM
Of course, there is always the option of using store bought ribbons, stickers, and die-cuts to add
pizzazz to your cards but this can easily be eliminated by creating your own embellishments
with very little effort and cost. Google hearts, stars or other shapes to cut on papers or cardstock
to adorn the front of the cards. Using scissors, cut out dots or shapes and then use these to sort
in different patterns. Twine string or yarn, or ribbon around cards and glue; it gives an old world
texture to the cards. Stamp images on stamps with the natural materials such as the leaves or
shells that are found. Paint with watercolor or acrylic paints and let it dry before use to give
some splash of color on it. Closures enable DIY aspects, so that every card feels unique.
CONSIDER SENTIMENTAL THEMES
That is why ideas should not be limited due to the anniversary theme when creating card
designs while also saving money. For paper or wood anniversary, attempt to hand make the
card using of an old paper page or carving shapes from the tree bark. Use such colors as green
for the 5th anniversary that is associated with the presence of nature. Use an appreciation
hand-stamp on paper that has heart, for the celebrations of the 10th anniversary that is based
on the love preserved. When it comes to gifts, use the sentimental messages of the year’s
celebration on your time together more often than not the enhanced techniques on decorations.

is very little that is more special than having ones that capture your very relationship. : Make
sure to add the jokes which the two of you like to share or some tender nicknames you have.

couple or the achievements that you wish to achieve as a couple. Add something small, but
meaningful from your past memories such as a photo booth strip, ticket stub or any token. For
gourmet couples, give food gifts such as cookies or popcorn in a jar that you have baked your
self. These personal touches explain to each other how much you know each other. There is
nothing wrong with the bought ones whenever there is a need but nothing beats homemade
ones with special writing.

effective if there is some imagination and a few personal touches included. Instead of going for

memorabilia into shapes, layers or strips in order to build dimension into the collage. Place little
trinkets under the acetate or paper that has been taped down. Record special memories or
on-going jokes in the margins of the journal. Layering that can be done with brads, ribbon, or
string to have a colorful and more of texture feel about it. Scrapbooking can make a maximum
use of creativities in a card.
