Sneak Peek: Cherished embellies

This is a sneak peek of a card I made after my latest trip to Michaels. I fell in love with this embellishments by Autumn Leaves (Pretty Poppies).

Card: Dog-gone cute card!

This was a commissioned birthday card.....and it's the biggest I have ever done (8x9). I used embellishments by Autumn Leaves (Pretty Poppies) and Stampin Up rubons.

Card: Happy Mother's Day!

My favorite Prima flowers make an appearance in this Mother's Day card. The background was created with K and Co QUE SERA SERA Silhouettes on Stampin Up kraft cardstock.

Stay TUNED!

Some awesome cards and scrapbook pages coming soon.... Please pardon the delay, due to the fact my "weekend" was spent sans internet connectivity

Thanks for your patience!

Scrapbook: Extreme Dude

This page I wanted to speak for itself.... To be FRESH, FUNKY and YOUNG!

The fact that the photos are of my hunky cousin ....makes the page even more special to me

Scrapbook: Beautiful Bride

I apologize in advance for the quality of the photo. I have been having some camera issues I am still sorting out. I wanted to feature some of my cousin's wedding photos. She is a beautiful person inside and out.

Once I saw her wedding bouquet it brought to mind Tim Holtz vibrant Spiced Marmalade Distress ink. To bring out the metallic accents in the background i added Stampin Up bronze metallic paper which was so much fun to use.

Wedding Photography by: Michelle Maunier

Scrapbook: KI Memories detail

A small detail of the KI Memories journal lace cardstock I used to embellish a surfing themed page. More details to come!

Stampin Up: Spiced Marmalade flower detail

This is an embellishment I created for a very beautiful wedding page. I embossed photo paper with the SU Manhattan Flower impressions die. To bring out the detail in the paper I brushed it with Tim Holtz distress inks (Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick).

Card: Plaid is the new black

This is a multi-purpose card that came about when I saw a snippet of this wonderful plaid paper. I embellished it with the new SU butterfly cut out of vellum cardstock and Cuttlebug's swiss dots embossing folder.

Stampin Up: Hearts galore

As a considerable addition to my die cut connection .... I loved these SU sizzlit heart dies. More to come!!!

(Details: 2-1/4" x 2-1/2″■ 4-pack of dies)

Card: Thanks 4 everything

As promised, this is one of the cards I created using the new SU butterfly die. One of the butterflies was actually embellished with the Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder prior to die cutting and with buttons from SU's Button Bouquet. The yellow paper was embossed with the SU Manhattan Flower impressions die pictured below. The card is SU Kraft paper, and cork paper for added texture.

Stampin Up: Shelli's Signature Die - Butterfly

When I saw this Bigz die in the catalog I knew I had to have it, and the fact that I was able to use it with my Cuttlebug was a bonus. I will be adding a few of the cards I created using this die.

(Details: 5-1/2″ x 6″■ Rule-based die which can cut up to 50 different materials■ Fold paper and align with the side of the butterfly for an even bigger image)

Card: So-owl

A little whimsy as a thank you card.... featuring the new Bright Delights (SU) rubons

Card: Welcome, little one!

Inspired by the intro to the Partridge family.....

Card: Always dandelions

I am in love with these new window sheets from Stampin Up.... I embellished this card with pearls from the Pretties kit, and a rubon from the Chateau Bella pack. The rubon went on just like buttah!

Stampin Up: Butterfly love

All of you who know me know I'm a butterfly collector and this is an awesome addition to the awesome stamps out there.
