Happy Anniversary

I wanted to try out some paper sewing and what better time to really go all out than for a family member's anniversary. 

I really admire Cindy Royal's work ~ you can see some of it on her blog at Royal Things.  I wanted to include layering and sewing along with stamping, ribbon and some bling.  This card even includes a Cricut cut!

Here is what I did with the inside.

I also really like Mary Engelbreit so I thought I would order some labels for the back of my cards.  I found these at Colorful Images.  Cute huh?

So what new techniques have you tried lately?
