Playing with my New Occasions Mini Products

I finally had some time to sit down and play with some of my Occasions Mini/Sale-a-Bration products that I pre-ordered earlier this month.

I really enjoyed making this card, it was very simple to do and I love the look of the Adorning Accents die and embossing folder on the bottom of the Calypso Coral card front.  I also sponged a little bit of Calypso Coral Ink around the edges of the smallest label just to give the Very Vanilla cardstock a hint of colour.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla, Everyday Enchanment DSP
Ink: Calypso Coral
Stamp Set: Sincere Salutations
Big Shot Accessories: Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies, Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Folder, Labels Collection Framelits Dies
Vintage Brads (no longer available)

Digital Scrapbooking

I've been getting back into scrapbooking this past month so I was pleased to get the digital cd of the upcoming Sale-a-Bration items with my last Stampin' Up order.
 
I like to use the layouts from Nuts About Sketches for some of my pages so found a layout that I could use to show off the new Everyday Enchantment digital paper and some of the embellishments that were on the disc.

The name says it all - Everyday Enchantment - a great jumping off point for me to get motivated to finish scrapbooking the pictures I took when we first got our digital camera back in 2003.

Clean & Simple Stamping Sketch 163

Here is the second card that I made today using Sketch 163 from Clean & Simple Stamping.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampin' Up  Sincere Salutations & Stitched Stockings
Cardstock: Stampin' Up Very Vanilla
Punch: Stampin' Up Stocking Builder Punch
Ink:  Stampin' Up Craft Stampin' Spots - Garden Green, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red & Chocolate Chip.
Accessories:  Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder,  Linen Thread, Basic Rhinestone,  Antique Brass Brads.

I changed it a bit by moving the sentiment over to the other side since the stocking punch is rather large and they take up a lot of room on the front.  I think I am going to do another card (or two) with this sketch and use a smaller punch or stamps and follow the sketch as it is shown above. I have a couple of ideas that will work nicely with this sketch.

Clean & Simple Stamping Sketch 162

Since it was raining all day, I thought I would spend the afternoon in my craft room.  I decided to follow a couple of the recent sketches over at Clean & Simple Stamping.

Here is the sketch for 162:
