Mixed Bunch

Today's post plays with a couple of stamp sets and some of the new in colors from the 2014-15 catalog.  It uses the new moonlight dsp stack, hello honey cs, and lost lagoon cs.

 

Stamp sets are Sassy Salutations, and Mixed Bunch.  The flowers in the mixed bunch set have a coordinating punch to match.  I love all the coordination that SU offers us with punches, colors, etc.

 

Thanks for stopping by--enjoy your day!

Just 10 days left

Sorry I have been so absent this week.  A sad week at our house as we had to put our dog down on Monday.  :-(  I have struggled a lot this week and wish to thank those of you who have sent emails, comments, thoughts and prayers our way.  I appreciate all of them.  Prince was a great dog and faithful companion and loved all who came his way.  He greeted everyone who came to our house with his big smile and wagging tail along with a bark, to let us know that you were around.  He will be missed.....

Today's card features a set from the occasion's mini catalog that is just 10 days away from expiring!  Take a peek and make sure there is nothing there that you can't live without as we may never see it again.  Some of the stamp sets and accessories will make the new catalog but even I don't know which ones.

This card was made by Kimberly Allen, a friend that I swap with.  She embossed and colored the flower in cutting layers to curl the petals.  It uses the mixed bunch stamp set, blossom punch, adorning edgelits, loving thoughts stamp set, and the adorning accents embossing folders.  All from the occasion's mini.  A very pretty card indeed.  Thanks for peeking in today.  Hope you are having a great weekend!



Last day of Mystery Hostess!

This is it, the last day for Mystery  Hostess!  Get your orders to me today to be entered for lots of different free goodies.  I am doing door prizes today.  I will contact you tomorrow or possibly later tonight with winners here on the blog and then be in contact with you tomorrow if you win hostess benefits.  More info in the early post on March 21st so just scroll down a bit. 

Today's card is made with goodies from both the SAB catty, regular IB&C and the occasion's mini

 catty.  The mixed bunch stamp set, blossom punch, jumbo pearls and label framelits all come from the occasion's mini.  The designer series paper (dsp) is the Everyday Enchantment pack from the SAB mini.  Thank you kindly stamp set from page 168 of the IB&C.  The ruffled ribbon comes from the regular IB&C in lucky limeade.  Colors are calypso coral, lucky limeade, pool party, and vanilla.

Thanks for stopping by today--enjoy your Saturday!

Oh March!

Somehow I knew that March would be this way--hang with me; sorry for the absence but calving takes over my life this time of the year.  Today I am posting yet another mixed bunch card.  I love this color combo with pool party, vanilla and black. 

It uses the mixed bunch stamp set from the occasion's mini and greetings are from either loving thoughts (occasion's mini) or curly cute stamp sets.  I love that the mixed bunch has the blossom punch to coordinate and also used a square punch to make the flagged ends to the greetings.  Then the scallop trim border punch with the black cs.  The ribbon is a piece of 3/8 inch black taffeta with the chantilly over the top--love that look.  The dsp is first edition and is a specialty paper in the IB&C.  It is still Sale-a-bration time and if you would like to place an order I will tell you to keep watch here as later this month before it ends I am going to do a mystery hostess workshop here on the blog!  Stay tuned for details and due date.



Mixed bunch sympathy

Today's post is a sympathy card--seems I have been needing a lot of those here lately.   I am loving this Mixed Bunch set from the occasion's mini catalog.

These cards were made for sisters who lost their Dad recently.  I added a little bit of sponging to the first one and did the lace ribbon differently on it.  It is a great way to use up scrap pieces of dsp on the flagged banners.

The Mixed Bunch has a matching punch to punch the flowers out so that makes it really easy.  I love  punches!  With Sympathy saying comes from Loving Thoughts also out of the occasion's mini.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy!

More Mixed Bunch

I have been playing with this stamp set a lot lately!  I love it and most of all, I love that there is a punch to match the flowers!  No cutting them out--yippee.

I am loving the color combo of soft suede, peach parfait, and vanilla together.  It uses the Mixed Bunch stamp set, Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess offering)stamp set, dotted scallop ribbon border punch, lace ribbon, etc.  Notice I used a square punch to flag the end of the greeting and dsp.  A little sponging to add interest to the flower.  Some stampin' dimensionals to pop it up a bit.  The dsp comes from the SAB offering called Everyday Enchantment.  Have a great day; thanks for stopping by.
