The New Embellish Magazine Design Team

Hello and Happy New Year my friends!!! Boy, have I got some exciting news to kick this new year off with. It's been very hard to keep under wraps, but now I can share! Along with starting a new year, I am starting a new venture in my life. I am taking part in my first ever Design Team with Embellish Magazine, and am working with some of the most talented ladies in the business:

What a blessing and honor it has been to be given this opportunity (thank you Ashley!), and to get to know these wonderful ladies better.

So please join us, in participating in the new and first Embellish Color Challenge of this brand spanking New Year. Which is sponsored by The Cutting Cafe, a wonderful resource for Printable Stamps and Cutting Files.

So here is my first creation as a Design Team Member (Woo-Hoo!)... The first step, print the I Love You Background, on red cardstock and attach it to a red card base. Using dimensional adhesive, attach a heart die cut. Creating my own heart die cut was a breeze! All I did was cut a square from white cardstock, round the corners, then carefully placed my Cuttlebug Concentric Heart Die precisely where I wanted it and ran it through my CB machine.
Adhered a pink "Love", from All About Valentine's Day, and embellished with black buttons.

I can not wait to see what you all create!

I am so excited about sharing more of my Embellish Challenge creations with you over this next year! Thanks for stopping by and for sharing in my excitement! Hope you have a blessed year!

Maile



Love You:

  • Printable Stamps: The Cutting Cafe
  • Cardstock: Pure Poppy, White & Sweet Blush
  • Accessories: PTI Black Vintage Buttons, Cuttlebug Concenteric Hearts Die, Corner Rounder
