The upcoming Holiday mini will be available on August 1. Wait until you see all of the beautiful things, it's my favorite mini catalog in years! For this card I used the new embossing folder Holiday Frame. I cut it out around the oval and added some Dazzling Diamonds on top. The flower is from Bordering On Romance and the sentiment is from Beautiful Season. Whisper White base.

Stampin' Up Ex Libris
Love this new background stamp from SU. I made one layer cards out of Whisper White and embossed with white powder. For the birthday card I sponged on Regal Rose and the sentiment is from Bring on the Cake, the flower is from Punch Potpourri. The same exact design was used for the Christmas one using Old Olive and Poppy Parade. Sentiment from Beautiful Season (current).

Four Seasons Christmas
I am enjoying the new Four Seasons SU hostess set. This is the winter stamp, I embossed it in silver and added ome rhinestones on the snowflakes. Paper pieced the bird in red and bashful blue for a pop of color. The whisper white card base is embossed with the Northern Flurry folder and red bakers twine to embellish. Sentiment is from a Beautiful Season (current).

Recycled Craft Drawer

I found this wood craft drawer at the Goodwill for $2. It was natural wood so I painted it with a white pearl acrylic, added some Graphic45 designer paper to the drawer fronts and used crystal teardrop shaped large beads as the pulls, the point is poked in through the hole where the little wood ball handles were. I thought this dressed it up quite a bit. Matches perfectly with my peaches and cream colors that I chose for my stamping space.
It's garage sale season, get out there and poke around! You never know what kind of treasures you can find to repurpose for next to nothing.

Handmade Bow-Rosette Hybrid

I wondered what would happen if I combined a handmade bow with one of the rosettes as I was putting the bow together. I love the way it turned out! I added some silver cording so you can use it as an ornament after you take it off of a wrapped gift.
Supplies are all Stampin' Up: Be of Good Cheer designer paper, button and silver cording. A great tutorial for the bows can be found at Splitcoast in the Resources section. I sewed through all of the paper layers to secure the button so this baby isn't coming apart any time soon!

Serene Silhouettes

A super quick CAS card using the new Stampin' Up set Serene Silhouettes in Daffodil, Pumpkin, Real Red, Pacific Point, and Old Olive. Base was embossed with Square Lattice folder and then run through the Big Shot again to flatten it out some. Greeting is from You Are Loved, the sentiments in this set are so versatile.
