January 7-8, 2012 Stamp Camp

Phew, where does the time go? I've been busy with school and not keeping up on my blog. So here goes with the updates.

The new Occasions-Mini Catalog is here through April 30, 2012. There are tons of new items to drool over. If you'd like to see a catalog please contact me or you can view the catalog online at this link

A Cheery Birthday Card using Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Basic Black and Flirtatious DSP for the butterfly. Topped off with Dazzling Details on the leaves, vines, and edge of the butterfly. Another trick was cutting the Lace Ribbon Border punch down the middle to stretch it behind my Whisper White strip.

 

The Cherish Card uses a lot of new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog. Twitterpated fabric, Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon, Heart Framlits die cuts, and the Take It To Heart stamp set. Color scheme is Island Indigo, Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Blushing Bride, and Whisper White.  The flower I designed myself using the 1-3/4" scallop punch, then the Color Spritzer Tool with the Blushing Bride marker. I snipped the petals every two scallops and crunched the petals a little. There's two layers accented with 3 large pearls.

This is one of the two new Designer Cuts Card and Envelope Set card designs. I embellished with Real Red behind the heart, Blush Bride Smooch Spritz on top (spray from at least 4 feet away to get a fine mist), and a cute button and baker's twine. You can add any stamped sentiment you'd like.

This So Grateful card is one of my favorites. It uses the new Labels Collection Framelits die cuts, plus new DSP paper called Everyday Enchantment that you can only get through the Sale-a-Bration catalog. The new stamp set is called Apothecary Art which I hand colored with So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I embellished with the SAB Everyday Enchantment Brads, plus a die cut butterfly with pearl accent.
