Bring On The Cake!

My sister in laws birthday is coming up the end of this week and since I got new stuff to play with in the mail last week....I made her a cute birthday card. It was done off the idea from the card in the Occasions Mini Catalog, but I changed some things up.


The background paper is from the Sale-a-bration Ice Cream Parlor DSP and I can't get enough of that stuff. It is so much cuter in person! The scallop on the cake platter is from that set as well. I also really like the stamp set I used. Both stamps (along with 11 other stamps) are from the "Bring on the Cake" set from the Occasions Mini. I REALLY REALLY hope that it makes the big catalog, but I couldn't take the chance of not having it so I purchased it now because you never know! If you see something you like in a mini catalog you have to go for it. There isn't time to waste since it is a huge gamble if we will see it again. The gamble wasn't worth it for me to wait. I make way too many birthday cards for my family to pass on a 13 stamp set that is all birthday sayings.


I have made a few of these for my family in the last few weeks and they have been a big hit. The cute candles on the top are from the Create a Cupcake punch and very easy to do.

Happy Stamping!

A cute little flower

These little flowers are becoming all the rage right now. You can see them in the "big" catalog too. It is a simple accordian fold, but you use a couple of scallop circles and stick them together. I used Melon Mambo for the flower and Daffodil Delight papers behind it. The stem you ask..... it is the stamp from the Bold Blossom set in the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog and the whole set is only $9.95! I really like it and if makes a quick easy card. Don't forget the bright button for the center.

Don't forget that for every $50 you spend with me right now you get to choose a FREE stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog! Want to host and get more free stuff....give me a call!

Happy Stamping!

Another Sneak Peek

I am attending a gathering for our extended team this Saturday and we are all doing a card swap. We had to use a set from one of the new catalogs (2011 Occassions Mini or Saleabration). I chose a set from Saleabration that I just love. The minute I saw it I had to have it. The possibilities are endless and I love how my swap card came out. I just hope the rest of the team enjoys it as much as I do.

If you want a new Occassions Mini Catalog or a Saleabration Catalog, just let me know. I can get one to you in a jiffy! You won't want to miss it because they are great! Don't forget to check out the January classes this month. Let me know if you are interested in attending one.

Sneak Peeks!

Who doesn't love a sneak peek right??? Well, I have just the thing for you today! I got a bunch of new stamps from the upcoming Ocassions Mini Catalog and the new Sale-A Bration Catalog! Woo Hoo! I can't give details yet, but this will get your mouth watering.

I still have some that I haven't played with yet and they will be coming in another post. I am super excited about Valentines this year because I now have some awesome stuff to work with!! You will notice that one card is made with the Filled With Love stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I broke down and purchased it since I just loved it. It is on a promotion right now as well. Ask me for details or go here to see the promo.

I know that lots of these have the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder used, but I think that is such a versatile folder and I really like it. But, you will spy a new one if you look closely too.

Happy Stamping and Peeking!
