I love all the gold we have in the new catalog.  Here I used the gold foil sheets, the gold vellum paper, and our metallic gold card stock for the card base.  The sentiment is one that I made from the computer (an old SU retired set from years past).  The little scissors are from the set “A fitting occasion” in the BIG catalog.  I used the heart framelits and the salutation from Teeny Tiny wishes.

This little guy you won’t see for a while because it is from the new BIG catalog to be released in July 2014.  One of our gifts from SU at Leadership was this stamp set called “So very Happy”.  However, all of the embellishments are from the Occasions catalog.  The wooden triangles can be found on page18, the Retro Fresh Designer paper is on page 19, and the triangle punch can be found on page 26.  Sentiment is from the Geometrical stamp set, also on page 26.

Now if you were on my team of demonstrators, you could have made these cards at our recent demonstrator meeting.  We not only have a business meeting but we have fun creating and sharing what we love.

I can’t take credit for designing this card but I wanted to show you what you can do with some of our framelits.  Creating ‘outside the box’, is what this demonstrator did.  She used one of the ‘Banner Framelits’, page 27, to create the Sun and used one of the ‘Word Bubble Framelits’, page 36, from the Occasions catalog, to create the clouds.   Isn’t it fantastic that you can find other ways to use our BIG SHOT toys?  So much fun!

This was one of our Make & Takes at Leadership in Houston.  We used watercolor paper with out beautiful Kaleidoscope DSP found on page 27 of the Occasions Mini catalog.  The stamp set is Vivid Vases (page 20) which was one of the FREE sets that we got for attending Leadership.  One of the Perks of being a SU demonstrator is getting to go to all of the fun events that are available to demonstrators.  Ask me how you can do what I do here.

This is another card that I photographed in the sun but I think you got the picture, right? It is from the stamp set Language of Love found on page 25 of the mini and the DSP I used is from the In-Colors DSP Stack found on page 141 of the big catalog.  We made this at last night hostess club.

This stamp is a single stamp found on page 20 of the Occasions mini called “Blessed Easter”.  However, I opted to use just the flowers and mask out the sentiment on this card.  Easy to do.  If you want to learn techniques like this you can contact me HERE.  I also used the Banner Framelits found on page 27.

This is another card we made at one of my hostess clubs.  It is made with the presents from the Holiday catalog but instead of using Christmas colors I used it as a birthday card.  The DSP is called Birthday Basics and can be found in the Big catalog.

This is a fun way to create a card in a matter of minutes using our punches.  The stamp set can be found in the Big catalog on page 85 called Polka Dot Pieces.  I used both our red and silver glimmer paper and the Thinlits Label Card #133479.  The embossing folder is called Pretty Print.

I must apologize for the beautiful sun coming in the window in my craft room this morning and ruining my sample picture.  Although, I love the sun and is the main reason I moved South.  I wanted to live in a place where the sun shines every day.  We chose to live in Mount Pleasant, SC and have never regretted moving here.
I created this card with the embossing Folder, Arrows Textured Impressions, found on page 26 of the new mini, and I used the DSP Fresh Prints on page 33.  The stamps and the framelits you can find on page 18 and can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15% when you buy them together.

I loved this card when I saw it on Stampin Connection and I wish I could give the demo that made it credit.  But Thank you for letting me case this.  I did add the little arrow in the bottom corner to change it around a bit.

Well y’all know that I love vintage style so naturally I entered two (2) Very Vintage swaps.  The first card was for Group 1 and the second card was for Group 2.  So much fun!  Ask to see all swaps exchanged when you come over.

You saw on Monday, another card made with this set.  The little animals are so stinkin cute!  The embossing folder ‘Arrows’ can be found on page 26 and the sentiment is from the set Peachy Keen, page 18.  I colored the animals with classic ink and aqua pens on watercolor paper and then fussy cut them out and attached them with dimensionals.

Photopolymer stamp set.  New for 2014 is a winner for me, 17 stamps for $13.95.  I love all the ways you can say Love……yea or nay. LOL
There is also Countless Sayings 2.  Great for Valentines Day!  Let me know if you are interested and I will send you a flyer on both sets.    I used the new washi tape, Retro Fresh found on page 19 of the new catalog, along with the matching DSP.

Essentials Wooden elements used on this card can be found on page 18 of the new catalog.  I covered it with washi tape and attached to this card with glue dots.  I absolutely love this tamp set called “Life in the Forest” on page 21.  I can’t stop using this darling set.  I love everything in it.  The back ground dsp is called Retro Fresh on page 19.  Love it!

The bottle is cut from the DSP ‘High Tide’ in the new catalog and sentiment is from the stamp set Hello Sailor.  In addition, the Watercolor Wonder washi tape can be found on page 22.  The background embossing folder is a sneak peek from the SAB.  You should be getting this catalog soon.

I love vintage and this card is so shabby chic!  I made the flower with our crepe paper found in the big catalog.  I spritzed the flower with calypso Coral reinkers and shimmer paint.  I used soft suede to age the lace and background papers.  I shredded the burlap ribbon and tied them with linen thread!  Hope you like this!

The stamp set used in this card is from the Big catalog.  The framelits are again from the new catalog, page 18 ‘On Film’ framelits dies.  Yesterday’s card used some of the same items.  This is going to be very popular and what is great about it is a lot of items in the new catalog have bundle deals where you can save 15% by buying the bundles.

This technique is paper piecing and I used the Easter Blessing Stamp and the framelits from page 18 in the Occasions catalog.  The sentiment is from Hip Notes found on the same page.  I also used Watercolor Wonder designer paper found on page 23.

This sentiment is also from the set Perfect Pennants found on page 27 of the new catalog.  I used our new natural chevron ribbon trim (page 18) and the banner is cut out with our new banners framelits found on page 27.  You are gonna love these 6 graduated banner sizes!

This stamp “Come to my Party”  is in the big catalog page 55.  Perfect for invitation or just a friend or birthday card.  I made my own washi tape with the gingham wheel found on page 82 by stamping it on crepe filter paper, page 156 and adhering it to the Multipurpose sheets found on page 174.  Easy peasey!

These are the negative hexagons from the new hexagon Framelit that you are going to fall in love with.  The sentiment is from Perfect Pennants, a great collection of popular sentiments, again from the new catalog.  I also used the new washi tape on this card.

This is a really cool technique.  By adding several layers on the floral image, it makes the flower look 3D.  This is of course, another vintage card using the single stamp on page 102, called Post Card.  The sentiment is from a new set to be released in January called Perfect Pennants.  This will be another big seller.  I love how SU has finally started designing sentiment stamps with more than just the ordinary Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, etc. I used Soho Subway DSP and newsprint is from Modern Medley DSP.

Again, I used High Tide DSP and the new stamp from Happy Watercolor.  I also used the square framelits on this card.  Color is Pacific Point.  I used the paper piecing technique on this flower also and really like the way it came out.  Love this color.  What do you think?

I know I said it before but I love this DSP called High Tide.  The little flags and the flag punch you can get FREE in February and March.  They are Sale-a-bration items.  Aren’t they the coolest ever?  So versatile.

I just love this stamp.  It is one of our singles in the new catalog to be released on January 1st.  I have made several cards with it already, with and without the sentiment.  This is going to be a very popular stamp because it is so easy to color, with both markers, blender pens and aqua painter.

This is not a new stamp set.  It is in the Big catalog on page 85.  It goes with our bird builder punch and the elegant butterfly punch.  The new sentiment and framelits you will able to find in the new Occasions catalog coming out in January 2014, along with the new embossing folder.
