SNEAK PEEK! SPOILER ALERT!

I have been dying to use some of my pre-order goodies. This is just a little taste of what the Occasions Mini (January 4th & Sale-a-bration, January 24th) & Sale-a-bration has to offer. We as demos get to pre-order a month before, such a cool perk of being a demo.......

I made this card for my Son's 27th Birthday. I used a new stamp set called, Sweet Cake. My Cherry Cobbler & Early Espresso markers were used to color in the stamp, and then cut it out. Its a big stamp! The dsp is Well Worn in the big catalog. Its hard to see in the photo, but I used my 2-way glue pen and added some dazzling diamonds on the cup cake. Finished it off with some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine. Now do you see that cool die cut in the center? Its our new Framelits by Sizzix. They are so awesome. You get 6 dies in various sizes together. And the paper, can you say SAB (sale-a-bration)??? Yes, you can get this dsp for FREE during SAB for placing a $50 order (before shipping & tax). And thats not all, you can also get the ribbon and brads that match for FREE too! For every $50 you spend you can get a FREE item in the SAB catalog. You should be getting your Occasions mini & SAB catalogs any day now. Contact me if you didn't receive one by the 1st of the new year. I would be happy to mail one to you.

Here is a close up of the die cut, and the fabulous stamp set that goes with these dies, called, Apothecary Art, set of 6 stamps in different sizes to match the die. Yipee! I love when Stampin' UP! coordinates our stamps and dies. I colored in the flowers with an aqua painter and ink from my pads. I will be doing a tutorial on how I made up this box. You use 2 of the Petite Pocket die cuts. I got this idea from Tanya Bell. She has a video on her blog, you can view it here.
