The Cuttlebug Spot Anniversary Challenge


In honor of Nilda's impending 15th anniversay (Congrats, Sweetie!) this week's challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot is Anniversary cards. I had this design in my mind, but when I went to make it it really turned out looking more like a wedding card. I probably shouldn't have done it in all white. Oh well. I still like it though and enjoyed making is all with my Cuttlebug and Nesties with the MS dove punch thrown in for good measure. You can't really see it from the pic, but the panels cuttled with Birds and Swirls are actually raised panels and the peelie border is on the card base. The Nestie Heart Scallop frame is also popped up.

The inside heart is a Cuttlebug folder cut out with a smaller Nestie heart and as I said, the doves are an MS punch. I was so happy to use the peelies my dear friend Isabella Wheadon from the Cricut message board sent me. They added just the right elegant touch. Thanks so much Izzy! Be sure to check out the fabulous cards created by my DT sisters and please come play along with The Cuttlebug Spot. There's a prize this week from our wonderful sponsor The Craft Barn so don't miss out.

  12. WOW...This card is absolutely stunning as ALL of your work! So elegant...what a beautiful card. I also want to say thanks for all the nice comments you put on my Blog this morning...It really means a lot to me. I know I'm new at this and the Blog is also new to me, I get a lot of traffic but very few comments. It is especially nice when someone that you think so highly of takes the time to post. Also, thanks for the reminder of the PDF help for The Cutting Cafe. I knew it was there but it is so like me not to read directions. I followed the instructions and it worked!!! Thanks again Donna, I will also post this on your blog.
