A friend saw the card I made for the 25th Anniversary and asked if I could duplicate it for her niece who is turning 25 on December 30th. 

I added the butterfly to this one, it's a more youthful look to the same card, don'tchaya think?  Plus the fact I could never ever make the same exact card twice ~ always have to recreate the wheel  ;-)

The sheer ribbon with gold polka dots, solid banners top and bottom was on a gift I received, so of course, it had to go on this Anniversary card.
        I couldn't very well throw it away now, could I?  ;-)

CAMOUFLAGING DIE CUTS

One more card for MIM this week.  The technique by Laura demonstrated in this video is very different, I like it as a CAS card.

I used a thicker cardstock to die cut three additional "hello's" and like the dimension it creates.

Coffee Lovers

The sweet Miss Amy Tsurata is  graciously hosting a Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. If you want to play along head over to her Blog HERE.

I'm a little late to the party, but here is the card I am entering.

Click on photo to see more details

I stamped the top part of  the Gina K mugs  (Season's Greetings set) with embossing ink onto the white card panel first, then stamped it again in Cape Cod blue ink on a separate piece of white card stock which I fussy cut and  popped onto the gold embossed steaming coffee  :-)  
The lacy decorative tape was slid under the cups.  The white panel is taped to the black panel and both are taped to the blue base card.

 I will be back later with the deets ~ meeting a friend for a little ;-) shopping.

Edited to add details:

I inked this wintery stamp in Ultimate Metallic Blue onto PTI Stamper's Select White cardstock, then added the score tape for my silver glitter frame.  The snow drift is cut from white glitter paper. 
I embossed a panel of White with Snowflakes folder from Cuttlebug, popped two panels together and adhered to the White base card.

The inside is stamped the same scene in Hero Arts Shadow ink. The sentiment is from PTI's Beautiful Butterflies.  If you look closely you can see I add two glittery birds on top of the stamped image.

GLITTERED FRAME

The very sweet Dawn McVey  is up this week and she is sharing a quick way to create pretty glittered frames on your cards or other projects. Her card, of course is gorgeous, check it out HERE

My card design was created close to Dawn's sample (okay...not nearly as gorgeous as her's).  I just figured, why mess with perfection?  :-)   
Alright, I do have a couple of "different" ideas for this technique and hope to get to them before the weekend is over.
