Occasions Mini Fun Stuff!

There are so many fun and wonderful things in the occasions mini catalog.  I have finally gotten to play with the new Clear Mounted stamps (after getting carpet installed in the bedrooms and my stamp room).  And oh what fun I have had!  Below are a few samples of some of the new things I’ve done.

 

I’ve also had fun using the dots impressions folder to create texture on the cards.  The bird punch is super fun too!  Wait until you see all the fun cards I’ve made with that as well. (even a Christmas card)!  Yes, I am already working on Christmas for next year.  My goal is to make 15 cards a month so by November, I will have all my Christmas cards made.  Well, gotta go play with the kids, and try to slip downstairs to stamp some more.

Vintage Friendly Words Cards

Here are a set of 4 cards using the friendly words wheel.  They are so beautiful. This is one of the classes I have this month.  I’ll try to post more pictures of the 4 cards later.  Truly some of my favorite cards.  I plan to make several of these to have on hand.

I hope to have more to show you soon, but we are having carpet put in and that includes my crop room, so that means all my stuff has to be moved upstairs. Hmmm! Doesn’t sound like much time for creating to me! Wish me luck!

A beautiful Package!

This is the packaging I made for the gift Gene gave his secretary.  I have to say, that is probably one of my favorite boxes I’ve done.  I used a wheel out of the new Occasions Mini that starts January 5th. It really turned out pretty!

Here is a close up of the image on the front.  I used the petals a plenty embossing folder, and used the backside.  I loved how it turned out!

Here is an up close picture of the gift card I made to go with it.  I really am pleased with the end result.

Gene wanted to give her a coffee mug, so she could have a real mug to use at work.  We added a set of coasters for her as well. 

  

I guess with the holiday coming to an end, I am going to have to get back to work on stuff.  I have done nothing but play with the kids this week, so needless to say, It’s going to be back to the real world come Tues.  Yes – We don’t go back to school until Tues.  (Sorry teachers, I know you have to go on Monday!)
