Here's my first card for 2015! I did a little shopping at Joann's and Michaels today - and one of my purchases was this cute Friends Cup stamp from Stampendous - I've seen it used on several blogs and love the viewpoint of looking down into the top of the cup from above. AND it was on sale 40% off AND I had an additional 15% off my entire purchase coupon! So instead of $9.99 it was around $4.50!
I embossed the stamping with Copper Embossing powder and used Glitter Cardstock for the panels. The Happy Birthday is from the Party Animal Set by Avery Elle. I added 3 Kraft Blend sequins - also from Avery Elle. The coffee cup and sentiment are popped up on foam dots. And just a note: I always use ScorTape when sticking these glitter panels to each other since the glitter sometimes doesn't want to hold to lighter adhesive! This card is REALLY glittery IRL!
My card design was inspired by the following challenges:
House of Cards - Use Glitter and/or Inspiration photo
NBUS - never before used - stamp
Stamps: Friends Cup - Stampendous, Party Animal - Avery Elle
Paper: white - PTI, Glitter Card stock - Michaels
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Copper Embossing Powder - Ranger, heat tool, ScorTape, foam dots, Circle Nestability, Kraft Blend Sequins - Avery Elle, Word Window Punch - SU.

Julia, I love these bright sparkling color blocks of glitter paper! They really make your card pop! This is an adorable idea too--love the little cup! Thanks for playing along with us over at House of Cards! Have a joyful 2015!
Can you believe: while I was doing the dishes tonight I was wondering if the cards I've made using layers of glitter paper have all fallen apart when they reached the recipients! Talk about perfect timing! I have used double-stick tape, but not specifically Scor-tape, which I have, so I'll use that from now on. Thank you!
And thank you for linking your second card to my NBUS Challenge, Julia! I would have succumbed to buying it, too! It's so on-trend with the photographs we always see of fancy coffee designs in the foam! Your colors and sparkle are perfect for the HoC challenge, too! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
Your glittery card is beautiful Julia and I love your new stamp too - seems like you got a good deal too! Happy New Year to you! Hugs, Anne xx
Oh I love this! I have that stamp too...another blogger used it and I hadn't seen it before so I messaged her to find out where she picked it up. Yours was an awesome deal.
Wow Julia, you really have a way of adding so much interest to a card without it feeling busy or overcrowded! This is stunning! Great colours together and all that glitter is just fabulous!! big hugs :)
The glittered background panels are gorgeous! And, of course I am loving the cup! :)
