Pretty in Pomegranate


I just LOVE this Cuttlebug embossing folder!!! It is so beautiful! I made this card with Stampin Up products (except the Cuttlebug folder!) Whisper White, Bascic Black, Regal Rose and Purely Pomegranate CS, Pomegranate double stitched grosgrain ribbon, silver brads, word window punch, Much Appreciated and Wild Rose Stamps and Black, Pomegranate and rose inks.

Fun with Jamie


This is one of the many adorable cards Jamie and I made, she made one and I made her stamp the images for me so I could make one too! It is so cute IRL!

For my Ayva

This is a Christams present for my niece, she LOVES puzzles! and she is quite good at them too! I printed the picture on regular copy paper and placed it on chipboard, then I used the Ellison puzzle die cut and modpoged it all together. I can't wait to give it to her, I made her 3 other puzzles as well- Thanks Christyann for letting me borrow the die!

Cool card fold

This was a card I cased from a "Sister Demo". It is very simple but the fold is fun and different. Just a 4x4 square of patterned paper folded into a triangle and glued under large layer.
Wintergreen paper and In the spotlight stamp set used here- SU of course! There is a small greeting hidden under the snowman- Happy Holidays!
I also used the glitter pen (not sure who makes it- but I love it!) to do all the snowflakes....nice and simple effect!

Tile Coasters

This is just one of the many tile coasters I made for gifts this year. It looks way better IRL. I used Stampin' Up products: Oh, So Lovely, warm words, Metallic pencils, Staz-on and matte sealer. It is a super easy project and they look beautiful! I stacked 2 or more together and tied a beautiful organdy ribbon around them and it really is a striking gift.
Chalks or permanent markers can also be used for coloring but I really liked the pencils...it has just a little "bling" to it.

Hangin' with the Pres!


This is me with Shelli Gardner, the Co founder and CEO of Stampin' Up. When I met her I went to shake her hand and she took my hand and pulled me in to a hug. She really is amazing, she has made Stampin' Up into such a successful business and she is still a real person. I hope I get to see her again some day...maybe at the National Convention!
