Mini Catalog Carryover

 

Now that the Occasions Mini Catalog is over, are you wishing you had gotten some of these cool looking punches, dies, trinkets, fabric...wow, there was a lot of cool stuff in the Occasions Mini, wasn't there? No fear! Some of these items are still available for ordering! Whether or not they make it into the big catalog next year is always up in the air, but for now, you can still get your hands on these goodies. Wouldn't you love to make the card above? It's beautiful! I love the Framed Tulips Textured Frame (I love all our embossing folders!!) and the beautiful bold flower using the Blossoms Petal Punch. Both these items are still available to order.

Love Birds

Hello there! Hope you're all having a good week so far! I had a really nice weekend, spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday outside in the yard with the hubbie getting the yard ready for spring time planting. Of course, I also pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder area and stamping on Monday was pretty non-existent. I have a hard time keeping my head in the down position. So I'd stamp for 20 minutes, then have to rest and loosen up my neck. Haha! Needless to say, it did not make for a very productive time. I gave up after about an hour.

But luckily, I was on a stamping craze last week, so I still have a couple of projects I haven't shown you yet :o) Just a couple of reminders, there is only 1 more week to order the Valentine's Day Bundle and Sale-a-bration starts next week! Exciting stuff!

Also, I'm going to try to post more regularly to my Facebook page. So if you haven't "Liked" me yet, please do! You can find my page by clicking on the Facebook logo on the left side of the blog. I'm going to try to post MWF's. Ok...on to the card!

How to Make the Card:

1. Cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Pear Pizzazz CS and fold in half to make card base. Round corners.
2. On 5" x 4" piece of Naturals White CS, stamp bird image from Love You Much stamp set on the lower right hand side. Color birds using Blender Pens and Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake. "Ground" the birds by coloring some Crumb Cake at the feet of the birds.
3. Punch Real Red heart using the Small Heart Punch and adhere between birds. Round top and bottom right hand corners. Adhere to card base.
4. Adhere 3" x 4" piece of Greenhouse Gala DSP to the top portion of the card.
5. Adhere lace trim along the bottom of the DSP.
6. Tie Baja Breeze Ribbon around the center of the card. Tie button on.

Love You Much

 
Happy Friday! I'm so happy the weekend is here. For the first time since I started working, I actually get MLK day off. Yay! You know what that means, right? Stamping time!! :) Today's card uses a sentiment from last year's Sale-a-bration set. It was my favorite set out of all the free stuff offered. I love how it's whimsical, yet elegant and big enough to stand on it's own on a card. As most of you know, Sale-a-bration sets are only available as free sets during the promotion. This year, Sale-a-bration will run from Jan. 25 - Mar 31. Be sure to book a workshop with me or place an order during this time to be eligible to receive some of this year's fabulous free sets!

Here's How to Make the Card:

1. Cut a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Pumpkin Pie CS and fold in half to create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card.
2. Stamp swirl from Baroque Motif stamp set on the right edge of card.
3. Cut a 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" strip of Sweet & Sour Specialty DSP, 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" Tempting Turquoise, and 1" x 4 1/4" Play Date DSP. Adhere to bottom edge of card.
4. Tie seam binding around card and a button around the middle of the bow with twine.
5. Stamp sentiment on Whisper White CS. Punch out using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. Sponge Temping Turqouise on the edge of the circle. Adhere to card using Stampin' Dimmensionals.

First Edition Fairytale

Today's card uses some new DSP in the Occasions Mini called First Edition. It looks similar to the Newsprint DSP, but it is lighter weight and comes with 24 sheets in a pack! What a great deal! Since it is lighter weight, it crumples easier and is great for wrapping around 3-D objects and more.

 Here is a close-up of the flower. I used an Antique Brad for the center. I love the vintage look it gives the card. You can't tell from the pictures, but I sprayed Champagne Shimmer Mist all over the card and it's really sparkly in real life. So pretty.

For the sentiment, I stamped the whole sentiment in Basic Gray, then used a wipe to erase the word "Love". I used a Real Red Marker to color it in and then sponged some Champagne Shimmer Paint on top. I love the way the "Love" word stands out and is shiny.

Hope you enjoyed today's project. If you'd like to order some First Editon Designer Series Paper, please let me know!
 

Hugs & Kisses

Hello!

Tomorrow is the debut of the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog. So I thought it would be a good time to show you samples of some of the new items you'll want to get your hands on! *wink*

 
I used the new Love Impressions DSP as the base of this card. Isn't is sooo cute? I am loving it! The center sentiment of the card uses the matching Love Impressions Rub-Ons. As demonstrators, we received one sheet of rub-ons free. Just one of the many perks of being a demonstrator.

 
I'm trying to use up my embellishments and not hard it, so I used TWO red cordouroy buttons. This is my challenge to you in the new year - Use your embellishments! Isn't it hard? You just want to save them for yourselves. But if you don't use them, you won't have an excuse to buy some more! :)

Hope you enjoyed today's project. See you tomorrow!

Hi all!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I'm feeling a little sluggish today, but I'll just blame it on being Monday :)

Didn't get to do much stamping this weekend, so this is one from the Stampin' Up! website. I love this stamp set! It's on my wishlist :)

Okie doke, I have to get ready for work. Have a great day y'all!

I Love Me My Fridays!

Happy Friday!

Just a quick post today to show you this card. I was inspired by a card I think I saw on Betsy Veldman's blog. I love her style! Anyways, I wanted to try making a similar card with Stampin' Up! supplies. I think it turned out pretty cute :) I used Elements of Style in the Summer Mini. I love this stamp set.

Alrighty then, hope y'all have a great weekend. I'm going to FishFest tomorrow, hopefully this year we'll actually go in versus playing scrabble in the parking lot! TTFN! (Ta-ta for now)
