Happy Anniversary Card Join our Challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

Hi, so glad you joined me on my card share today.
I am so excited to be back with Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and joining the bi-monthly challenges.

This weeks challenge: Anniversary Theme

I am so blessed to have wonderful parents who lovingly cared for me and took me to church every Sunday, which definatly gave me a strong foundation in life.  And today, October 29, happens to be my Mom and Dads anniversary... yep today, so below is my card I mailed to them for their anniversary.

I designed this card in Cricut Design Space using the Sweetheart cartridge, the images I used are the heart and the word love.

 I used American Crafts vanilla cardstock, Recollections gold cardstock and patterned paper from my stash.

 I had fun adding layers to give stunning dimension, the heart and love word were cut out 4 times each with the vanilla cardstock then I glued one on top of the other.  I hand stamped Happy Anniversary using Lawn Fawn stamp set "Happy Happy Happy" in black ink.

I randomly added white sticky pearls from my stash of supplies.

And join the challenge.  Our sponsor for this challenge is from Dreaming Tree, they have amazing SVG files in their shop and several freebies ;)  go check them out.  The lucky winner of the Fantabulous Cricut challenge is a $10 gift certificate.

Challenge #1 "Let it Sparkle"
create a project and add anything that shines or sparkles... glitter, jewels, tinsel etc...
Challenge runs from Tuesday to Sunday at midnight, then my design team will choose their top 3 favorites.

Yesterday's card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge I used rosettes (see that card -HERE)... and guess what, I'm still making them... I told you they were addictive... have you made a rosette yet? I love them!
My card today has a vintage flair, and I love it especially the background paper which is from last years DCWV Christmas combo stack (180 sheets) as well as the brown checkered paper.

Here is where I added my "sparkle" this is a fun silver metal brad (the photo looks a bit off), I purchased it years ago from Oriental Trading (item no longer in stalk :(

I stamped using the phrase "A Cup of Good Cheer" right on that beautiful vintage looking paper. Stamp is from my "Gingerbread Holiday" stamp set available -HERE
