Another "Give Away" From The Cutting Cafe

I know I said I wasn't going to have a chance to post anything today but I really wanted to get this done so you all would have a chance to win the Anniversary set that is being given away by The Cutting Cafe---
http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/anniversary/
All you have to do to be eligible to win is leave me a comment between now and midnight EDT Wednesday 9/9 for the drawing to be held Thursday morning (unsure of the exact time but you know me...I'm an early bird) and announced here on my blog that morning! At first I didn't know what to think of the set, after all my anniversary isn't until January but after exploring all the possibilities I wanted to do something with it and now that it is done, I think I will hide it away until January!

All 3 sentiments are done using the Anniversary set from The Cutting Cafe that I resized and colored using the Apex color theme in Microsoft word. I layered the "Happy Anniversary" circle onto a circle/scallop Nestibility, embossing the center circle with Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder. The "I Love you more & more each day" sentiment was cut and layered onto a heart Nestibility and pop dotted. The "To my Wonderful Husband" sentiment was cut and layered onto the oval/scallop Nestibility. The band was cut with the EK arrow border punch, adding a layer of card stock that was embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and added a bow ribbon. The flowers were cut with the small and medium Marvy daisy punch, adding a center cut from a dollar bin punch from Michael's and a flat back gold gem. The leaves are punched using the EK fern punch.

Now I've got to fly like the wind to get this mess cleaned up before my husband gets home from his physical therapy session! Have a great holiday weekend!

Don't forget, the only way you can win this great Anniversary Set is to leave a comment!

  23. Lovely card Kelly, I just love the colour scheme! I never think of punching flowers other than in the colours you expect flowers to be in but making flowers to co-ordinate with the colour scheme of the the card is amazing when you see it done! I really learn something new every day on your blog! Thank you for the inspiration.

    I don't know how I didn't see this card before today. I just love it. You just seem to be able to co-ordinate your colours and designs so beautifully. I've now had to buy the Hearts Nesties. Just beautiful.
