Sneak Peek - Occasions Mini - Framelits, Embossing Folder, Punch

I have another sneak peek of new products coming in the Occasions Mini Catalogue on January 4th.  There are 3 new things on this card.

#1 - Heart Framelits Dies
#2 - Adorning Accents Embossing Folders
#3 - Blossom Punch
The technique I used is called "Suspenion Card".  The hearts in the middle are suspended on some Baker's Twine.  All the hearts are cut out with the new dies, and the pink one in the middle is embossed with the new folder.  I punched each end of the sentiment piece with the new Blossom punch to pretty it up a bit.  This will be my Jauary Technique Class.

Sail Away With Me Anniversary Card

Today's card is a masculine Happy Anniversary card.  I purchased the stamp Sail Away when it was in the Summer Mini catalogue.  I was happy when Stampin' Up! continued the stamp set Open Sea, but truly disappointed when Sail Away was retired.  This was a super masculine stamp and it was a single stamp.  Here is my card for you ....

You can't tell in this picture, but I used the new Pewter Embossing Powder (Holiday Mini Catalogue Page 2, Item #124114, $5.95) on the sailboat image and I love how it turned out.  A bit of bling and still manages to be masculine!!
Stamps:  Sail Away, A Word For You
Ink:  VersaMark
Markers:  Cherry Cobbler, Night Of Navy
Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Night Of Navy, Cherry Cobbler
Other:  Houndstooth Embossing Folder, Pewter Embossing Powder, Ticket Corner Punch (retired)
Happy Anniversary to everyone who had and Anniversary in September!
Happy Stampin' ......   

Beary Happy Birthday

Today I used an old Mojo Monday sketch #194.  I know it is past the date I can add my creation to all the awesome cards that were submitted, but I loved this sketch and saved it till I had time and the idea to use it.

I pulled out a stamp set that I seldom use, but is still current, and added the new Perfect Pennants Die.
Stamps:  Beary Best Friends, A Word For You
Ink:  Basic Black, Whisper White craft
Paper:  Regal Rose DSP Patterns Pack
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Concord Crush
Other:  Perfect Pennants die, 1-3/4" Circle, 1-3/8" Circle, 1-1/4" Circle punches, Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon
Have fun today, and Happy Stampin' ~ ~ ~

Latest Thank You cards

All of my customers get a hand made Thank You card from me for any order they submit.  Each card they receive is different, and this is the latest one .....

I used the new Create A Cupcake set and Build A Cupcake Punch.  The background is stamped with Dot, Dot, Dot which you can get for RREE as a Sale-A-Bration Item, but only until March 31st.  The cherry is punched out of Real Red Glimmer paper!
The sentiment I made using Thank You from Occasional Quotes, and with a cherry on top from A Word For You set.  I think it really goes well with the cupcake image!
Thanks for visiting, Happy Stampin' .......................................
