I have created two projects using the Shadowbox dies and embellishment collections by Becca Feeken. 

My projects feature Spellbinders Adjustable Shadowbox Frame 1/2 inch - Becca Feeken.  If you scroll down, I added a link to Becca Feeken's video tutorial on YouTube.  

The coolest thing about these frames is that they are totally adjustable and can be made in any size you desire.    

The sweet woodside shadowbox is a welcome to Spring.  I used the following new releases to create the flowers and the woodland scene with deer and bunny:

Spellbinders- Layered Thinking of You Woodland Scene - Becca Feeken

Rich wonderful layers!!!! The paper I chose for this is Stamperia's Roses Lace & Wood 12x12 paper collection .

Here is my second shadowbox.   I love the ocean so I made a seascape using Stamperia's Sea Land paper collection and Spellbinders newly released  Adjustable Shadowbox Frame 1/2inch - Becca Feeken.

In order to make this frame, I cut 4 pieces of paper each 5 inches long.  Square frames require all the papers to be cut the same length.

Here is a link to Becca Feeken's Shadowbox video tutorial.  Let the beautiful, talented Becca show you just how easy these frames are to make and customize for any project.

DIY Sweet Valentines Cards

Today I'm here to show you how scrumptiously beautiful Creative Embellishments chipboard (and wood veneer hearts) can be on a Valentines card.  

I created two cards and let the chipboard products do the hard work.  Trust me - they were 100% up to the challenge of gussying my cards.  The gorgeous designs are huge timesavers when creating cards because they are fascinating statement pieces. 

Below is the list of chipboard and veneer pieces used on my cards.  The chipboard was simply painted with acrylics.  

Nested  Shapes - Hearts

Wood Veneer - Conversation Hearts

Flourish Heart Set

I'm going to take a moment to tell you why I adore those sweet Wood Veneer Conversation Hearts.
They are perfectly sized to tuck into floral clusters, just as you would a flower.  They have a plain backside which makes the hearts versatile enough to use year round.

You can see in the image below that one conversation heart is turned to show the plain side.

Another wonderful thing about the wood veneer is that it's clean and light making them fabulous and convenient to use without painting.  Just glue and go.  

This next card uses a piece from the gorgeous Creative Embellishments - Flourish Heart Set.  This set comes with two large main pieces to use on different projects if you choose.  I used the heart shape chipboard piece on a card made for the February Challenge here at Creative Embellishments.  

Check it out and consider playing along this month...just use a product from Creative Embellishments and upload to the blog.  

Here is a close up of the card.  

 Thanks for stopping here.  I hope your day is filled with love.
