I hope you are having a nice long weekend! I love it when I have a three day weekend, especially after the long week I had teaching my second graders this week! This was our first week back from our Winter vacation and it is always hard to get back into a regular schedule. I imagine the kids were pretty tired too!
Today my card uses the new Blossom punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set. I really do love this stamp set. I used both of these new products on my Lollipop holders that I showed yesterday. I have also used our new 3/8 inch Pleated Satin Ribbon. It is a beautiful ribbon and comes in four colors. My card uses Blushing Bride but it also comes in Pear Pizzazz, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze. The colors that I’ve used are not ones that I normally would use (Blushing Bride and Perfect Plum) but I was happy with the results. I used a little bit of Pear Pizzazz for the center of my flowers and popped them up with a dimensional.
As always, I appreciate that you have stopped by! Take Care!

Today I have some lollipop holders that I made for my Club members this week. I bought some See’s lollipops to place inside. This inspiration for this project comes from Jody Johannsen.
I used quite a few NEW products from the Occasions Mini Catalog! I had fun using my new crafting supplies! I used the new Blossom punch along with Mixed Bunch which is a new stamp set that coordinates with the punch. I used our new Large Pearls and the Twitterpated buttons. My hearts were made with the new Framelits Dies that are used with the Big Shot. The hearts are graduated – I used the three smallest ones (there are six altogether).

Today I have another card using the Lattice Die. This time I used Spice Cake paper and Soft Suede cardstock. Yesterday I ran my DSP and Lattice piece through an embossing folder in the Big Shot. I didn’t do it with card but kind of wish I had. It adds a bit more texture. What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I had fun today! I was able to work on several cards and play around in my craft room. My craft room is actually one wall of my bedroom but I still like to call it my craft room. This card was inspired by one I saw on Andrea Walford’s Paper Crafters Library website. I used the Lattice Die with my Big Shot to create the center section. My paper (Holly Berry Bouquet DSP) will be gone in a few days! It can be found in the Holiday Mini and you can only purchase it until January 3rd. I made another one with paper from the Spice Cake collection, which will also be gone next week and I’ll post it tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by! If you would like to place an order before this paper goes away, you can go to my SU! website or email me!

Here is a card my Hostess Club members made last month. I used several items from the Holiday Mini to make it: Mica flakes, Snow Burst Embossing folder, and Shaker Frames. There are so many fun items in the Holiday Mini! I hope to try out some other items that I bought and post some cards later this week. The stamp set is called Polar Party. I used Staz-on and then colored him in with my colored pencils and blender pen.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
