Wild Roses

I came across this pretty little flower stamp a few years back at the Seattle CK convention. It is by Yvonne Albritton designs. I colored it in Copic markers and used Stampin' Up's Paisley Petals paper with cardstocks of Groovy Guava, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, asnd Mellow Moss. Chantilly lace to embellish.

Pillow Box Princess Crown

I made this super fast and easy crown from the Sizzix pillow box die. I came across the idea by accident after trying to make my first pillow box bucket the other day from the tutorial in the Resources section. I had cut too many of the pillow box and thought it really resembled a crown so I decided to make one in Brushed Gold cardstock and emboss it in gold with the Bella Toile stamp. Added the royal "jewels" from the Pretties Kit and clear rhinestone brads. I am going to use this as a basket for my desk as I am too old to play princess :)
This would be a fantastic Mommy & Me project to let your child decorate her own crown! I cut out 5 of the pillow box and taped them all together with durable Sticky Strip.

Patterned Pines

Clear Transparency Window Sheet

Tree Trimmings and French Filigree

This is the new set from Stampin' Up called Tree Trimmings, a set of three ornate ornaments with the hanger. I was so happy to see this set in the catalog, I've been looking for an ornament set for the longest while. I used the pine branch from Autumn Days, stamped in Handsome Hunter and Chocolate Chip. Ornaments in Night Of Navy and Real Red with hanger embossed in gold. The background is the new French Filigree embossed in gold on Ruby Red, matted with Brushed Gold and Handsome Hunter. Tag is from Teeny Tiny Wishes embossed in gold with matching brads. Punches used were Word Window and the new Modern Label, a perfect fit for each other. Gold ribbon is retired.

Dutch Country Dazzle

The Razzle Dazzle set reminds me of a Pennsylvania Dutch Country design so I used the traditional colors of (Brilliant) Blue and White. All supplies are current Stampin' Up. Medallion background stamp done in blue on white and embossed again in white on blue. Card base is textured Whisper White, second layer of white was embossed with a Texturz plate run through Big Shot. New 5/8" white satin ribbon, Pretties Kit pearl, and Blue Bold Brights brads (say that fast three times :) for embellishing.

The left side has a strip of Terrifically Tacky Tape covered in white Chunky Sprinkles and Dazzling Diamonds, the other side is a Cuttlebug border embossing folder and I added mini pearls. Pink taffeta ribbon and dots all around edges to complete.
