Fresh Prints Hello

Here's another card made with products from the new Occasions catalog.  I used the stamp set Simply Celebrate, the new Fresh Prints DSP paper stack (love it!) and the new punch Petite Petals.  What's wonderful about this new flower punch is that our itty bitty flower punch fits perfectly inside!!! I added a little big of bling inside the flower for a finishing touch.  Another favorite new product I used to make my card was the new banner framelits.  Thanks for looking!

Another Great Year!

Finally!  I am taking some time to post cards I have made recently.  Did I mention how much I love the new Occasions catalog from Stampin' Up!  It's called "Celebrate the Everyday" and it is just that!  A catalog full of products to use to make simple, everyday cards a person uses all the time.  Like this one...I used the new stamp set "Another Great Year".  It includes several nice stamps, but this one really caught my eye.  It is so easy to stamp this image and make a really quick birthday card.  I used the new Petite Petals stamp set with the coordinating new Petite Petals punch for easy, gorgeous flowers to accent my birthday image.  I also used the new DSP Retro Fresh.  All products are from the new Occasions catalog.  Click on the image on my blog to see the whole catalog.  Enjoy!

Distressed Happy Birthday Card

This is a recent card we did for one of my stamping classes. I used Stampin' Up's distressing kit. The kit comes with four different distressing inks and is fabulous! It also comes with other assorted tools like sanding blocks. I also used the new framelit dies and vintage wallpaper embossing folder. Enjoy!

Elegant Flower Fancy Sympathy

I love Flower Fancy! It has got to be one of my all time favorite stamp sets. The flowers are so soft and elegant. This was a recent sympathy card I made with this set. I used my aqua painters to softly color in the flowers with our Stampin' Up ink. I also used the new Adorning Accents Edgelits dies to make the beautiful scalloped border. Enjoy!

Fabulous Florets Thank You

I love this stamp set, "Fabulous Florets" (wood mount 123025, clear mount 123027). The flowers or elements in this stamp set give way to many different looking cards and can be used for scrapbook pages too. This is a card I made recently for a customer. I used the new doily die found in the Occasions Mini. Enjoy!

Mixed Bunch & Blossom Punch

Recently, every time I need to make a card I find myself grabbing the new Mixed Bunch stamp set and coordinating Blossom punch. This set is so versatile and makes for a different looking card every time I use it. So easy and fun! I did "case" this idea from another SU demo Robin Merriman. Enjoy!

Tea Shoppe

I am really loving this new stamp set Tea Shoppe from the Occasions Mini. It includes 10 gorgeous stamps. The sayings are perfect for sending cards to friends and for just saying thank you to someone. Enjoy!

Attic Boutique Vintage Thank Yous

Here are a couple of cards made with the new Vintage Suite Attic Boutique. I recently started make specialty cards for a local shop and one of the things the owner loves is vintage and girly. I love the colors of the new Attic Boutique paper! Enjoy!

P.S. I Love You

Here is a recent Valentine's Day card I made with the new stamp set P.S. I Love You. This stamp set is so versatile and can be used for occasions other than Valentine's Day. Check it out in the new Occasions Mini!

Another Apothecary card!!!

Can you tell how much I love this new stamp set, Apothecary Art? Love it!!! It is sooo gorgeous! I used the new Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper the new Pool Party seam binding. Oh, and I used the new Labels Collection Framelits to cut out my frames. Enjoy!

Gnome Sweet Gnome Birthday Fun!

I have to be honest...at first I was not sure what I thought about the Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set in the new Occasions Mini. It has certainly grown on me and I have been having a lot of fun with it. The more stuff I have seen made with this set, the more I really like it. I esp. love that wheel barrow and the flowers. It is such a good spring stamp set and works really well for birthdays. And I certainly don't have another stamp set like it in my closet! I used retired DSP and ribbon. Enjoy!

Take It to Heart Valentine's Day

One of my favorite stamp sets from the Occasions Mini is the Take it to Heart stamp set. It coordinates with the Framelits Hearts Collection dies. Additional products used from the Occasions Mini include the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders and the new Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Dies. Enjoy!
