My card, simple compared to my normal work but I really like it! I used a Martha Stewart card base that was pre embossed/edged that I got on clearance at WalMart - package of 40 for $3 and they had a simple "Thank You" on the front that was easily covered by PP. I then used my Textile embossing folder to emboss the dotted background paper by Little Yellow Bicycle, my Nestabilities butterfly die to cut out the gray PP butterfly and the transparency then I ran both through the Swiss Dots embossing folder and Stickled the gray PP butterfly. The Happy Anniversary was stamped using a Stampabilites stamp then cut out using Nestabilities for the sentiment and the background which is also Little Yellow Bicycle and the gems were from my stash.
Here's my card:
The next part of my reveal and gift for my parents is a simple glass coaster. I used the Textile embossing folder again on the background PP and cut a photo of my parents to place in the middle. I used my newer Cuttlebug Spring Florals die for the little butterfly and flowers, used gems and brads from my stash and Prima flowers to decorate the corner as well as ribbon by Little Yellow Bicycle.
My coaster:
And both:
