Now that Sale-abration is officially over, I'll be back to sharing lots of goodies from the Occasions Catalog. Today's card is one that I made several weeks ago and used it for my Downline Meeting swap in March. I don't post my swap cards in advance of the meeting because I want the ladies in the group to see it first in person. This card actually came about because of another card that I had been working on. I ended up with a bunch of these … [Read more...] about Needlepoint Nook

You’re The Best
The Cute Crew Punch box from the Occasions Catalog is just the cutest. This kit contains a stamp set, ink, watercolor pencils, an acrylic box, and a punch that is exclusive to this kit. It comes with almost everything you need (except paper and adhesives) to make a card. The Cute Crew Punch box is a great kit for someone that is just starting to try out watercoloring. Today's card is my second make & take from the retreat … [Read more...] about You’re The Best
Sweets For You
The How Sweet It Is Suite of products is one of my favorites from the Occasions Catalog. I love the fun, bright colors in the paper. And, all those candy images just sweeten the package (pun intended). I’ve been trying some different fancy folds for cards lately and I absolutely love how this one turned out. This card has a center panel that’s raised. The panel is fastened to the front of the card and the card base. You can see that when the … [Read more...] about Sweets For You
Top O’ The Mornin To You
We're celebrating St. Patrick's Day a little early since it falls on the weekend. What do you do to celebrate this Holiday? For years, I would make authentic-ish Irish meals, but nobody cared for them. The recipes I found tend to use a lot of cabbage and my family just wasn't a fan. So we won't be having corned beef and cabbage tonight. And I'm trying to do a no-carb thing so green beer is off the menu for me. Oh well, maybe I'll just have to … [Read more...] about Top O’ The Mornin To You

You’re A Classic
I'm betting the Classic Garage Suite is going to be the next hottest thing in the Occasions Catalog. This Suite of products is perfect for any type of masculine cards. And Father's Day is just around the corner. Today's card has some great details that I love. The car is colored in using our Blends alcohol markers. These markers are great for shading and adding depth to the image. Check out the itty bitty key tied to the front of the … [Read more...] about You’re A Classic
There’s No Such Thing As Too Many Puppies
I promised you more Happy Tails and here it is. Today's project is a mini banner celebrating our favorite animal... the dog. Banners tend to a be something that takes a bit of time to put together. However, this one came together very quickly because the banner bases are all the same. The only elements that change are the three center pieces on each banner. I did not use dies to make this banner. Instead, I cut the pennant … [Read more...] about There’s No Such Thing As Too Many Puppies
February Thank You’s
Before I dive into today's project, I need to clarify a little confusion regarding Sale-abration. You've got questions? I've got answers! Okay, so I had a question about what the difference is between Sale-abration Coordinating products and the new Sale-abration products released in February. The difference is that the Coordinating products must be purchased, the new Sale-abration items are FREE with a qualifying purchase. The Coordinating … [Read more...] about February Thank You’s
