Christmas Anniversary

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Anything Goes

Here is my card for your inspiration:
My parents' anniversary is the day after Christmas (49 years this year!!).  So, I figured I could get away with using some Christmas themed items on my card for them.  The paper and gold ribbon were already on my desk from previous Christmas cards and the little sparkly red heart has been on my desk for a loooong time (in my little bits and pieces stash).  The ripped edge rectangle die cut had its very first outing on this card.  I have had it for a while, but haven't used it.  I honestly have no idea where it even came from (their was no info on the packaging) or when I got it.  But now that I have rediscovered it; I will definitely be using it more often!
Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Be Blessed"; Repeat Impressions "Pine Cone"
Dies: Eliazabeth Craft Designs pine branch; Picket Fence Studios "A Bow for all Reasons"; Memory Box "Snowberry Twigs"; Verve "Scalloped Trim Trio" little heart negative; unbranded stitched label die from Amazon;  stitched rectangle die (I have absolutely NO idea where it came from)
