Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / August 2023

Celeste and I are bringing you a little bit of SPARKLE this month as we have coffee and make cards .. I had the perfect stamp from the August Release at Technique Junkies - Born To Sparkle . Since everything is always better with a bit of sparkle, we chose it as our theme !!

• I started by using a Sunburst die from Gina Marie Designs and cutting it with a piece of gold glitter paper and a piece of white glitter paper.
• The sunbursts were adhered to card bases - the gold to a red card base and the white to  kraft.
• The sentiment - Born To Sparkle -  was stamped with Nautical Blue Memento ink  and then cut to fit across the card base .
• I popped up the sentiment across both cards with foam tabs .
• I placed a large faceted rhinestone with a Paris design at the center of the white starburst and a Butterfly rhinestone on the gold. 

I love these cards .. The glitter paper I used doesn't leave glitter all over the place which is a win in my guy's book .. He is NOT a fan of the sparkle !! Let's take a look at how Celeste is sparkling this month - you can see her card over at Crafting Junky . 

My birthday is this month so I gave myself permission to buy a new cup without having to recycle one I already have . Plus this was 30% off at my local Starbucks !! I love everything mermaid and this really is gorgeous .Hard to tell but it's even sparkly at the bottom.  I'm drinking McDonald's Toffee Almond Iced Coffee today while I work on this post. Delicious !!

As we wind down summer, I am excitedly looking forward to cooler months. Sweater weather is my favorite time of year ..  And after all of our 100+ degree days, I promise not to complain when it is cold outside.  Well, at least not out loud !! 

Thanks again for visiting Meticulosity ..

Until next time, Stay Creative
