I bet you have been hoping all month that I would share projects made with supplies from the new Occasions mini, haven't you? I did place a preorder and receive everything , but all I had time to make with it were two swaps I was signed up for (41 cards total). Once those were done, I got in Christmas preparation mode and didn't find time to play with my new toys. I really hope to remedy that during the Holidays downtime, though.
Anyway, here's a sneak peek of what is coming up in the Occasions mini, which be launching on January 4th. I used the P.S.: I Love You set, a super cute Love/Valentine set. The paper doily is a new die, and so is the scallop border I used at the bottom. As you can see, there's a matching embossing folder that I used to add the detailing on the scallop border. I used the heart embossing folder from the same set to add little hearts above.
Another cool item coming up is the Blushing Bride smooch spritz! It has a lovely colour and shine to it and I love it already. And did you notice the Baker's twine I used to hold the paper doily in place? That's right - now available in Blushing Bride!! The cute buttons are also a new addition and they match our Twitterpatted collection.
Although it is hard to tell in the picture, the cherub was embossed with gold powder. To create the background, I stamped a circle of hearts from the same stamp set and I created a mask punched out with the Full Heart punch. I sponged ink all around the heart, punched the image out with the wide Scallop Circle punch and added pearls.
The Blushing Bride envelope came from a set of beautiful laser-cut cards that have those matching colored envelopes. Très cool!
Wishing you a very happy new year!!! May it brings happiness,
health and lots of stamping time!
