This charming image captures the delightful essence of a whimsical elderly lady, complete with twinkling eyes and a knowing smile that suggests a lifetime of joyous tales. She’s the embodiment of grace and merriment, with her lush white hair crowned by a vivacious red flower that competes only with the warmth of her personality. Adorned in a vibrant, patterned blouse rich with the hues of a bountiful harvest, she clasps a generous glass of Merlot, the wine’s deep ruby tones echoing the mischievous spark in her gaze.

The playful phrase “Darling, I’m not old. I’m just well marinated in Merlot.” is more than just a witty quip; it’s a celebration of age, an ode to those who believe that life should be full of flavor and lived with a zest that only a fine wine can complement. These A2 card toppers, arriving four to a PDF page, are not just greeting cards; they’re a ticket to laughter, a nudge to the ribs, an instant mood-lifter.

Imagine the delight of friends receiving such a card, the chuckles from family who recognize the spirit of a beloved matriarch in its design, or the ice-breaking laughter when handed to a new acquaintance who appreciates a good joke. Whether it’s for a birthday, a special occasion, or just because, these card toppers are guaranteed to ferment a good time and leave recipients feeling anything but sour. After all, who wouldn’t want a sip of this joyous, jest-filled celebration of life?

Commercial Use

Download your PDF to your computer. Default folder is usually the “downloads” folder.

Gather materials: You’ll need a printer,  Canon Matte Photo Paper 8.5″ x 11″, scissors or a paper trimmer, and any embellishments you want to add, such as stickers or ribbons.

Print the cards: Load the cardstock paper into your printer and print the design. Make sure to adjust the printer settings to the correct paper size and orientation.

Cut out the card toppers. Once the card toppers are printed, use scissors or a paper trimmer to cut along the images. Be careful not to cut off any important parts of the design. These toppers are designed to fit on top of blank A2 cards that you can purchase at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Joann’s, Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. You’ll find you can buy them in bulk at discount pricing. I prefer to use double sided tape to adhere my toppers to the top of the blank cards but you can also use glue if that is your preferred adhesive.

Add embellishments: If desired, you can add stickers, ribbons, or other decorations to the cards to make them more personalized.

 

 

Well Marinated In Merlot’s Embrace

In a garden of green where the grapevines grow, A lady of laughter lets her wrinkles show. With glasses perched and a rose in her hair, She sips on Merlot with a debonair flair.

“Oh, darling, don’t call me a lady of old, I’m a connoisseur of stories untold. Just well-marinated in Merlot’s embrace, Each line on my face, a memory’s trace.

With every sip, a giggle escapes, A toast to life, no room for ‘maybes’ or ‘wait’s. Vines of time may climb and they’ll curl, But in this glass, I swirl a young girl.

I’m not aging, just fermenting with grace, Every year a new vintage, no need to race. Bouquets of joy bloom without a doubt, With each card sent, love’s poured out.

In the dance of the leaves, in the hum of the bees, I’m as timeless as wine, as carefree as the breeze. So raise your glass, be merry, be bold, For we’re not old, just stories beautifully told.”

So here’s to the lady with the spirit of light, Who teaches us all to age like wine – just right. A card with her image, a message so clear: Live, laugh, and love, with a good glass of cheer!
