Final Week

The Occasions Mini Catalog ends April 30.  There are a lot of great sets and accessories that won't be available once the catalog ends.

Like this fun set, You're My Type.  This is a great set for any occasion and it's definitely perfect for making masculine cards.

Check out some of these samples made by fellow demonstrators:

Matchbox Favours

Has a family member or friend ever asked you to create favours for a wedding, shower, party or other event?  I have created a few over the past several years; and I have to say it's no easy feat...

...Until now!  I've just discovered the Matchbox Bigx XL Die for the Big Shot and I gotta say, it's the perfect accessory for making favours!

These awesome matchboxes can be decorated to suit any event decor and you can fill them with whatever treat you decide upon.

More Baroque Motifs

I wanted to show you another card I made today using the retiring set Baroque Motifs. This set is so versatile and lovely, it's hard to imagine anyone NOT owning it.

This beautiful card is very simple to make.  The images on the black background were stamped in VersaMark ink and coated in clear embossing powder, then set with the heat too.  I then tore the corner and place a piece of our First Edition DSP behind it; affixing the whole thing to a crumb cake card.  The "kind" is them stamped on a 1/2" strip of very vanilla card stock and the flower is made from 2 large scallop and 1 small scallop punch outs in rose red card stock.  To get that multi-layered look to the flower, I used a technique taught to me by fellow demonstrator, Christine Logan.  I crumpled the card stock until it looked like the edges were starting to peel and then I gently, carefully, pulled them apart; turning 1 flower into 2!  I pierced the centre with our paper piercing tool and put a black brad through to hold them together.  I then affixed the flower to the card using glue dots and voila! Once beautiful Baroque Motifs card that can be used for almost any occasion!

Lace Ribbon Border Punch

Have you seen the Lace Ribbon Border Punch?  It's absolutely amazing and can make any project beautiful!

Here's a great video from Stampin' Up! HQ on how to make sure you're getting the most from your punch each time you use it!

The beautiful card featured in the video was made with the Borderlines stamp set that is retiring at the end of May.  If you like this card and want to duplicate it, make sure you order Borderlines before it's too late!
