Going, Going, Going...Don't miss out!

 There are still a few days left to order from the Occasions Mini catalog.  April 30th is the deadline, so click on the link in the right margin to check it out.

The following swing card was created using Occasions Mini products such as Twitterpated DSP, the Apothecary Art set, Labels Collection framelits, as well as Blushing Bride cs, which will retire June 1st.

 The next card uses the Mixed Bunch set from the mini, along with the coordinating Blossom Punch.  It also uses the greeting set, Short & Sweet, which is retiring from the main catalog.

Yes, the list of Retiring stamp sets and accessories has been published.  You can access it by clicking on the link in the right margin.  The flowers in the next card (from the Flower Fest set) are retiring, as well as the Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly ribbon and Blushing Bride cs.  The card, itself, was cased (copy and share everything) from fellow demonstrator, Karen Barber.

The following 2 cards were made using the retiring set, Plant Hope.  They are also inspired by a Beginner Brayer class I took with Michelle Zindorf last weekend.  She's such a great teacher!  Thanks Michelle!

So, don't miss out...place your Occasions Mini catalog orders by April 30th (that's Monday), and your retiring products order before June 1st.  But remember, the sooner, the better, because once the inventory runs out, that's it!

Happy Stamping!

The cards below are from my recent Tons of Techniques class at the end of January.

I used the Owl Builder Punch to create this cute owl and his Snowbuddy.  The background is created using a brayer and sponging techniques.

I'm having lots of fun using the new products from our Occasions Mini catalog....This card uses the Apothecary Art set with the matching Labels Collection Framelits, the Adorning Accents edgelits die and coordinating embossing folder, waffle paper and Twitterpated DSP.

This card also uses the Twitterpaded DSP, and the second edgelit from the Adorning Accents edgelits die pack.  The coordinating embossing folder pack also includes the embossed scallop that you see over the edgelit (3 in the pack).  The set used is Fresh Vintage, a SAB item, FREE with a $50 order!

Happy Stamping!
