Yesterday, I did a workshop at my friend Mary's house, and although there was a low turnout, we had a blast! I wanted to share with you the two projects we did. The first one was a card:
This card makes me SO HAPPY! I didn't come up with the design--it is a direct case from another demonstrator on our Stampin' Connection web site. This is a website for demonstrators, with many THOUSANDS of samples. You never have to be original if you don't want to be! This card uses SEVERAL items from the Occasions Mini--which expires on 4-30-12:
- Twitterpated DSP
- Blossom Punch
- Mixed Bunch and Tea Shoppe stamp sets
- Hat pins
- Adorning Accents Edgelits die
- Adorning Accents Textured impressions embossing folder
- Pleated ribbon
- Basic Jewels pearls from the big IBC
The colors I used are Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze, Island Indigo
The second project was a variation on the the 2-4-6-8 box with a window cut with the smallest Labels Framelit die:
Same colors, same DSP, with two added accessories: Twitterpated Buttons from the Occasions mini and clips from the IBC.

Enjoy!
For this card I used Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Whisper White card stock, the Big Shot, the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, the Movers and Shapers die base with the Curly Label die, our new 1/2" crochet lace trim. The stamp set is a hostess set called Cute by the inch. I thought the card came out perfectly, and it will be perfect for Betty's birthday!
I deviated a little bit from the sketch: turned it 90 degrees and I don't have two blocks in the middle---only one. But, I am SO HAPPY with how this turned out:
I used ALL NEW colors and some new accessories on this card--except for Very Vanilla cardstock--it's not new. My colors are: Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Early Espresso. The butterfiles and the sentiment are from a brand new set called Butterfly Prints. I used a new embossing folder called Vintage Wallpaper on the Daffodil Delight card front and the dotted embossing folder (the name escapes me right now) on the square of Very Vanilla cardstock underneath the butterflies. One of the stamps in the set is the butterfly body and I stamped the body on all the butterflies, but when I punched them out with the butterfly punch, the antennae got cut off, so they look a little wierd! The three butterflies in the set are stamped with Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Blushing Bride on Very Vanilla cardstock. the sentiment, which is also in the set, is stamped with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla cardstock and punched out with the scalloped oval punch, and layered on a piece of Peach Parfait cut with the scalloped oval die in the Movers and Shapers die set. I also used our NEW pearls in the upper right corner. These pearls have adhesive on them, so they are easy to stick where you want them to stick! I think the colors scream SUMMER and I love the combination I created! Hope you do, too!
