I hope you are having a fun weekend! I had a chance to make several cards today and this was one of them. It has been an extremely hectic week at school. I’ve been working on report cards non-stop for the past few weeks so it was nice to have some me time today. I love this new Mixed Bunch stamp set and the new Blossom punch. I was playing around with different colors and really like how the Concord Crush and Daffodil Delight look together.

I used Lucky Limeade and Pool Party cardstock for the base of my card and my flowers. After punching my flowers out with the new Blossom Punch, I ran them through the Big Shot and the Finial Press embossing folder. The center of my flower was stamped in Pool Party ink with the Fresh Vintage Stamp set (another Sale-a-bration free product). The adorable brad can also be yours for free as it is included in the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad pack. “Thank you” is from one of my favorite sets called Short and Sweet.

Hi Friends,
Hope you are having a good weekend so far! Today’s project was made using the Hearts Framelits. I cut out two of the largest hearts and attached them together around the edges using Sticky Strip but I left a small opening for a few pieces of chocolate. I used one more heart in Pirouette Pink and embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. The next sized heart was made with my Big Shot and the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embossilit die. I stamped the heart in Real Red using the new stamp set Take It to Heart and cut it out by hand. Then I attached it with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today’s card uses another one of the new Framelits – the Labels Collection. The collection comes with six dies, my card shows you three of the sizes. The largest one is 5 7/16 inches wide. This is the only card I’ve made with this collection so I am looking forward to trying it out in so many different ways. I’ve also used the new pleated ribbon which is so pretty in person! My colors are Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz.

Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it! Have you made your cards? Here is a very easy card using the Heart Framelits dies. I used it to cut a heart through the top layer of my card on the right hand side. Then I adhered a red heart to the inside of my card, again using the Framelit die. I stamped the heart on the right with the I (Heart) Hearts stamp set and I cut the heart out by hand. Friend was made using the With All My Heart stamp set. I embossed the front of my card and the heart on the left with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. Easy!

My cards today are ones I made for my second graders to thank them for some wonderful gifts they gave me. I made the pink cards for the girls and the green ones for the boys. We studied owls in class so I thought they might like the little owl from the stamp set Fox & Friends. I hope they like them!

Have you seen the new Hearts Collection Framelits in the Occasions Mini Catalog?? Using your Big Shot and the Framelits Dies, you can make up to 6 different shaped hearts!! I used the Framelits to make my large red die. Then I used my Full Heart punch for the heart that says friend. I used the Heart to Heart Stampin’ Up! punch for my smaller hearts. Did you notice the hearts at the bottom of the card? I used one of our new Adorning Accents Embossing Folders. You receive three in the package. The stamp set I used is called I (Heart) Hearts.
Have a terrific day and thank you for stopping by!

Here’s another card I made using the new Blossom Punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set found in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. I really love this stamp set and punch. There are so many different ways to use it! If you saw my lollipop holders a few weeks ago, you’ll notice that I made my card using one of those designs. My colors are Concord Crush and Rose Red. Love the combination!

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!
