This set that is called Everything, was included with this month’s Paper Pumpkin, over and above the set that came with the project. It was to celebrate 3 years and over 1,000,000 paper pumpkin sales. I love this set. I used it here with Watermelon Wonder and Mossy Meadow. In addition, I used in color DSP and Iced Rhinestone embellishments.
This set is being carried over into the new catalog. I used thin line glue to cover the cross and dove instead of crystal Effects, which is being retired after this catalog. It really worked perfectly and did not take as long to dry as Crystal Effects. The sentiment is also from this set. I like when our sets contain both images and sentiments. You get so much more use out of them. This set can be found on page 35 in the AC.
This reminds me of some of the fish we saw underwater on our cruise. Actually these colors look pale compared to the real thing. We did see a turtle off the back of the ship when we were leaving Key West.
The images from this card are from By the Tide, page 82 and From Land to Sea, page 83 in the AC. Unfortunately, By the Tide is retiring this month so if you want it, you need to order it before it is gone.
If you are interested in purchasing this DSP, Typeset, page 142 in the AC, you should do it asap because it is another item that is being retired. Hopefully most of you have seen the retired list by now. I must admit that I have loved using this DSP the last couple of years but I knew it couldn’t last forever. There really isn’t anything in the new catalog that replaces this type DSP. The set I used is from the OC, Grateful Bunch, page 22. Both the Corrugated paper and the Burlap ribbon is also on it’s way out. As you can see, I loved using that for embellishments also. The sentiment is from Endless Thanks, which is being carried over.
This set can be found on page 125 of the AC. You will be happy to know that is is being carried over to the new catalog. I used Calypso Coral and Soft Suede on this card and the sentiment is from Suite Sayings, page 41 of the OC, also being carried over.
I used an aqua painter on this image from the set, Sweetbriar Rose, page 115 in the AC. I stamped it onto watercolor paper with Stazon ink. The DSP on the background is from Timeless Elegance page 143.
I have enjoyed using this set, page 35 of the OC. Especially because of the matching Framelits. Here I used the Gold Vellum DSP and embellished it with gold Thread and Mint Macaron Enamel Dots, page 6 of the OC. Behind the vellum I used the white corrugated paper, page 148 of the AC, and the gold foil DSP, same page.
This set is a hostess set that you can find on page 51 of the OC. You can only get this set if you are a Hostess of a workshop of $150 or hold a book party of $150, or if you are a member of one of my clubs. These ladies all get the opportunity to be a hostess every six months. I used Mint Macaron and Smoky Slate.
I just found this card and realize I never posted it during Sale-A-Bration, which is now over. But those of you that were able to get this set will have another idea of how to use it. I also used the glimmer tape that they offered the weeks ending SAB. The DSP is from the Stack of DSP called Going Places, page 39 in the OC along with the Bow paper clips found on page 9.
This stamp set, First Sight, page 36 of the OC, is the perfect set if you are thinking of sending cards to your Mom, someone you love, or your BFF.

I have been so enthused with the new Occasion’s Catalog and the new DSPs from it that I totally forgot about this paper. Here I used the gorgeous DSP, Farmers Market, page 143 of the AC.

The colors are also perfect for the background which is English Garden DSP page 142 in the AC. The butterfly is cut out with Blushing Bride card Stock and Blushing bride Glimmer paper, page 17 of the OC. I used the Butterfly Framelits and Thinlits page 172 in the AC.

My awesome Wednesday morning group wanted to make a diorama so I designed this one for them. It was so much fun putting it all together. I used the stamp sets, By the Tide, AC page 82 and From Land to Sea, page 83. In addition, Wetlands, page 116, also AC. The backround papers are from the DSP stack, Going Places, page 39 of the OC. If ever they carried over a DSP I wish it would be this stack. I have used it so much and I love it. I also used the set Gorgeous Grunge from the AC, page 123 for the sand. I used our Oval Framelits, page 173 AC, and the embellishments, bird and fencing (non SU) were miscellaneous chip board that I had hoarded a long time ago.
I borrowed this set, Party Wishes, page 5 OC, from my daughter Maureen (Mo). It was one of those sets that I said I didn’t need when the new OC came out. Again, was I wrong! This set is so awesome! I have made many cards with it and I keep telling myself why don’t I just go ahead and buy it. She purchased the stack of DSP, It’s my Party, page 5, which I did not purchase, another bummer! However, she is so kind to let me use as much as I want of hers. I can’t stop making cards with this bundle. The three Party Punch pack that matches the set is the BOMB! Watch for more to come on this great set.
