More details to this question:
I make wooden signs with phrases on them to hang around my house or for family members. If I wanted to attempt sale of my little wooden sign crafts, would using certain phrases from TV shows, movies, or books in tandem with certain images from same qualify as copyright infringement, or would it only qualify if I tried to pass it off as an "official" anything (which is not my intention)?

It would not matter whether you tried to avoid the implication of "official" versus unauthorized. If there is an underlying copyright and substantial similarity, then it is infringement.
