EBE August sneaks Day 3... one more sleep!


My last sneaky peek-y day, and this release will be available in the Ellen Hutson shop on Friday!

Can you imagine my delight when a NEW MONDO was included in my package??  Oh man... I am mondo crazy for Mondo Amaryllis... and there are dies!


Isn't it gorgeous??  and the sentiments are so delightful, too!  I found a photo on the internet to use as a model - they come in SO many colors - who knew??

Wplus9 Stitched Ironworks background die added just that certain something!

Next are Holiday Characters and dies that are a bit nostalgic, maybe even a little retro?  and speaking of... Retro Holiday Greetings provided the sweetest beginnings to my own on the inside.  I loved creating a design that could be repeated - each one different, yet the same, to make those Christmas cards nearly make themselves!  MFT Wonky Stitched Squares, and Julie's sweet Plaid Maker set did all the work.  Okay, a bit of Copic coloring on my part, and some Nuvo Crystal Glaze where appropriate.  What do you think about my color palette this year?  Bazzill Pale Rose, and Lollipop card stocks for the win this year!





I have a few more for you tomorrow.. bonus -I'll be hopping with my EH teamies - you won't want to miss what they have in store for you!

That amaryllis really grabbed me! So I guess I'll have to grab it. I had no idea amaryllis came in more than red...good to know. YOur holiday faces are so cute and the design is rocking.

You're busier than a one armed paperhanger...but it hasn't depleted any of your creativity. That amaryllis is huge WOW!, as are your cards. Also love the darling images on on your "plaid" cards...nice for multiples

You've colored all of the Amaryllis on your cards beautifully! I've never seen one colored like your second card, very pretty. And the retro cards are adorable. I like your 2019 color choice!!

Your Amaryllis cards are just stunning Michele, oh how I love an Amaryllis plant. You have colored them up so beautifully too. Love the traditional looking one on the first card, the second one is equally stunning, I love the color combo and that beautiful background. Those little Holiday Characters are indeed retro looking and oh so darling. I love the design of those cards as well as the color combo's. So cute, so fun! Yep, I'm in love with all of these. Hugs, Brenda
